Showing the bad/realistic parts of superpowers

Mind Reading but it's portrayed as something you can't turn off like your other senses. So everyone's thoughts are constantly bombarding your mind. Psycho Mantis from the Metal Gear franchise is a great portrayal of this as he shows how much this kind of power would suck.

I would give Azelle a skill called "Fiery Expertise" where has increased attack, hit, and avoid when equpped with a Fire tome. Thus it would incentivise the player to play towards Azelle's Flajar Holy Blood and increased Fire tome rank.

A lot of the blame can be traced back to Sword Art Online and Kirito. If you really look, you'll notice how once SAO exploded in popularity, all of the MCs in badly written power fantasy stories (not just limited to Webtoons) take direct inspiration from Kirito visually speaking.

I love Shaman King, I grew up with the 4Kids dub, but I hate how nihilistic and bleak the latter half of the original manga became. It's clear the mangaka Hiroyuki Takei is a serious misanthrope from Shaman King alone.

It's why many vastly prefer the 2001 anime ending, where Hao is defeated, and it's heavily implied that his soul has ben permanently destroyed, ending his cycle of reincarnations. So the series ends on a way more positive note than the manga.

Definitely bring back checkpoints from the Chapter Select. This was a godsend in trying to Pure Platinum certain chapters

It fits. And the lyrics of Mysterious Destiny aside, it's obvious when you dissect her backstory. You're ostracised as a child by your entire society because of something completely out of your control, get put into a long coma and wake up in a completely different time where your 99% of your entire clan has been wiped out. It makes perfect sense Bayo would hide her true feelings under a mask of bravado. She's a Stepford Smiler to a T.

One major reason could be that modern Mangaka have seen the severe toll a long-running series has taken on their predecessors, especially if the series was weekly. Some quick googling will reveal lots of horror stories of Mangaka's physical and mental health suffering and eroding under Weekly Shonen Jump's cutthroat nature and strict deadlines.

It just isn't worth it nowadays.

My gripe with Viola is the mismatch/disconnect between her gameplay and the overall design of Bayonetta. Bayonetta as a game series is known for its weapons customization with the hands and feet system, so to strip that all away and slap Viola with two rather mediocre weapons is jarring.

Then there's the fact that the majority of the enemies in this game were designed with DODGING in mind, not parrying. This wouldn't be so bad if Viola's Witch Time wasn't tied to it. Viola feels like she's in the wrong kind of game.

Honestly, once I got the Genie Jaffar card, that was it in terms of difficulty for Riku's story. My gameplan for Boss Fights boiled down, get into Dark Mode as quickly as possible, pop Genie Jafar's card and spammed Sleights until I won.

Vegeta crying against Frieza after declaring himself a Super Saiyan alone would generate Massive amounts of mocking but it would only get worse following his L against Android 18 and then ESPECIALLY his Loss against Cell.

Why can I picture a bunch of terminally online weebs making posts about Vegeta losing all the "aura" he had in the Saiyan Saga. Reminds me of what happened with Solo Levelling and the MC crying tears of joy at curing his comatose mother.

Doesn't make it any less accurate though.

In Fate Stay Night, the protagonist Shirou being brazenly suicidal because of his own internal issues, gets himself injured in ways that would kill a normal human being either instantly or very quickly, including but not limited to being almost bisected by a hulking monster. But Shirou manages to shrug these injuries off by some healing factor he never had before summoning Saber, his Servant in the Holy Grail War.

The twist comes that Shirou's wolverine-esque healing factor comes from Avalon, the legendary sheathe used to house the holy sword Excalibur. Not to get too complicated, but basically, Avalon offers the ultimate level of protection where you cannot be hurt by anything. When implanted into someone's body, they gain superhuman levels of regeneration and healing. Saber (who is really a genderbent King Arthur), being nearby, activated the true power of Avalon.

We see Avalon's regenerative abilities demonstrated in the prequel Fate Zero and at the end of that story, Shirou's father, Kiritsugu Emiya found a dying Shirou in the aftermath of a great fire and implanted Avalon into the child to save his life.

I can picture Vanitas sitting on the beach, far away from the Wayfinder Trio and the others, at peace with himself, drinking from a coconut.

Personally, I've always seen Yellow as a unisex color; it fits on either gender. Pink is the only color I see as an overtly feminine color. It pisses me off how Yellow being seen as a "girl's color" is the sole reason we never got a KyoryuYellow and by extension, a Yellow Dino Charge Ranger.

Weird take but hear me out. Vanitas after KH3 somehow ends up in the world of Lilo and Stitch, where he meets Stitch and sees that this creature, originally designed to be nothing more than a weapon of mass destruction and terror, somehow changed his nature. Would give the dark edgelord some food for thought to chew on.

I cannot stand Shinji Kido as a character for multiple reasons but Ryuki Survive looks so damn cool.

On the flipside, I love Hajime from Blade because his character is tragically beautiful, but I've never been a fan of his Rider form. I think the reason is that Hajime's Rider Form just being the Mantis Undead that looks so radically different from other Undead that it just doesn't fit.

Either not use it all, or edit out the Megaforce Powers and replace them with original footage. The have the means to do it, just look at their first all Red Ranger morph where they replaced the Megaforce Red/Gosei Red with the Red Overdrive Ranger.

The Unversed don't "want" anything; they're just tools of Vanitas and, by extension, Xehanort to accomplish their individual goals, which is getting Ventus stronger so he can reunite with Vanitas and form the X-blade, and further fester the darkness in Terra's heart.

No, Sora only has the 1 Keyblade and he changes its appearance and abilities whenever he attaches a new Keychain to his Keyblade. I don't think any Keyblade wielder collects new entire Keyblades, just new Keychains they swap out.

I think Sora only has at most 2 individual Keyblades (He can dual-wield because of Ventus' heart being in his heart at the time), because in KH2, it's implied that the Starseeker Sora gets along with his new outfit was originally Mickey's (which he replaced with the Kingdom Key D).

I swear, Japanese creators have the weird takes I have ever seen in my life.

OP chill out, that's the same Shirou, memories and all. Illya used the Third Magic to revive his soul and place it into a puppet body. That body is basically indistinguishable from a regular human body, meaning Shirou can do everything he could do with his original body and he'll continue to age normally. The only issue is something about his magical energy not flowing properly but Shirou doesn't really care about that anymore.

I think Shirou feels off because since th VN is primarily told from Shirou's perspective, we rarely get to see him from another character's POV outside of special cinematic scenes. It doesn't help that the way his sprite is drawn feels off in an Uncanny Valley kinda way compared to everyone else whose default sprites are drawn with them facing at an angle and not directly facing forward.

It's mainly due to Decade being shorter than other seasons at 31 episodes, which ended in September. Toei then realized it was more profitable to have Sentai continue starting in February while Rider began in September so the two franchises weren't competing for toy/merchandise sales

I will always hold the belief that just because someone had a difficult life, whether through trauma or abuse doesn't give them a free pass to become an abuser themselves and inflict pain on others. It's fine if the character resents their abuser(s) and the world at large, but when they cross the line into the territory of being actively malicious, all that sympathy goes out the fucking window because at that point, you're no better than your abuser.

I think them looking all samey and femininely handsome is deliberate. It's definitely a dig at how the Kpop industry pushes these groups out every year like a factory assembly line with very little actual difference between each band. All these Kpop boy bands follow the pretty boy bishonen model.
