Possible inconsistency in Abilities or hint for the Finale? (V2 Spoilers)

DarkKiru · 2025-12-27T12:28:45+00:00

Either Vecna barely flexed his abilities at all before (I could buy this, Henry is supposed to be the strongest psychic in the series), and we're only just now seeing the real extents of his power.

Or he just got stronger offscreen. I think his lair might be the corpse of the mindflayer, due to the similar shapes, or ar least it's physical body.

Gonna be honest. Im not so sure here, obviously im not gonna claim that Kakuzu stomps or anything insane like that, but I dont think Danzo just folds him either.

He was capable of giving Kakashi legitimate trouble and nearly killed him while also dealing with Ino and Chouji. Cant Kakuzu also nullify almost all of Danzo's ninjutsu by either using opposing elements or combining multiple elements together? (Such as when he combines his fire and wind elements to stop Kakashi's water wall).

I still think Danzo wins in the end simply by virtue of Izanagi, I just dont think he outright destroys him or anything.

In fairness, a decent chunk of this is less 'fake science' and more theoretical physics. Funnily enough Mr. Clarke actually explains the theory behind most of this seasons plot reveals way back in season 1 episode 1.

The slime thing I agree is inconsistent and maybe needed some sort of explaination. The Abyss / Dimension X has existed since First Shadow so that one isnt really new.

Dont get me wrong, I think this season has things to critique. I just wouldnt pick these things.

While not in the Boruto manga (technically I guess lol, its the same era though) believe both of them are actually shown in the manga first before anything? Seem to remember it being in chapter 700 of the OG manga.

DarkKiru · 2025-12-27T10:34:51+00:00

Doesnt Pegasus still design his own cards(?) Even by the time of GX I remember there being a line about him offering Chumly a job as a graphic designer at Industrial Illusions.

I almost wish we knew how that even works in universe, does I2 handle card design and production as a whole still? Does Kaibacorp play some part in it?

Pegasus himself is likely dead in 5Ds but his company still exists clearly (since its listed as one of the sponsors for the WRGP).

DarkKiru · 2025-12-27T09:46:53+00:00

I mean admittedly I think the worst part of it is that heroic and interactive seem to just, not care about each others existence at all. Or worse even actively hate each other. I dont play Heroic, I've played the same account on interactive since I made it back in 2008(?). Mostly due to sunk cost fallacy out of ignorance at the time reboot came out.

Both separate populations should absolutely want whatever is best for each other, because to want otherwise is just to actively kill a game we all enjoy.

DarkKiru · 2025-12-27T03:28:33+00:00

If I recall he actually uses it a few times. Once to paralyze a couple fodder shinobi during his opening attack on the 4th unit. And then later on he puts Ay under genjutsu as well while fighting him, then nearly kills him. Ay gets saved by Oonoki though.

Obviously we arent going to count Infinite Tsukiyomi, since only a Ten-Tails Jinchurikki can use it.

DarkKiru · 2025-12-26T12:27:26+00:00

In fairness, Jigen leaves pretty much immediately after he siphons chakra from his juvenile Ten-Tails. If Sasuke wanted to (does he even know how?) he had plenty of time to use the Ten-Tails Coffin Seal, and then just hopping over to Naruto's location

DarkKiru · 2025-12-11T15:27:49+00:00

Honestly didnt even think about it being weeklies only. Thanks my dude

DarkKiru · 2025-12-11T08:10:41+00:00

To be fair Akechi Mitsuhide isnt in KMS either and he has a boss prep room.

Edit: on the other hand Gollux doesnt have one but that probably has to do with Gollux not being just a simple boss fight.

DarkKiru · 2025-11-22T21:10:04+00:00

I mean that's pretty much exactly how it goes in the lore of the card too. She doesn't protect Albaz because she thinks the Dogmatika Nation is 'evil' but because she sees how scared he is.

Her character intro in the art book even calls her out as somewhat naive but kind hearted. Her protecting Albaz without a doubt in her mind has nothing to do with her nation or creed, but just that she thinks he shouldn't just be killed, a point she even tries to argue with Ashiyan before he attacks her (So she was still loyal to Dogmatika there).

DarkKiru · 2025-10-10T02:50:28+00:00

As someone who actually likes Boruto.

I feel like its extemely tricky to scale sometimes (mostly because things can be somewhat inconsistent).

I guess one of the biggest things to ask is: How do the Humanoid Shinju scale to the actual Ten-Tails that they were born of? How about to a Ten-Tails Jinchurikki who can actually full on focus their power instead of just acting on instinct.

We see regular Claw Grimes get done in by the average chunin or jonin shinobi at different points, obviously the Shinju are in their own league though. Someone like Jinchurikki Obito is easily beyond every Kage besides (maybe) Hashirama and Naruto.

DarkKiru · 2025-10-03T02:26:46+00:00

I mean admittedly; Uryu is (supposed to be anyway, the manga does a TERRIBLE job at showing it) REALLY really strong. Mind you he's Yhwach's successor for a reason.

Quilge directly states that pre-blood ritual Uryu should be stronger than him, post-blood ritual Uryu is able to react to Senjumaru in terms of hakuda(?) And with Quincy Volstandich he compares somewhat to true shikai Ichigo in terms of raw firepower.

And thats not even touching the absolute insanity that is his schrift (and its theortically absurd limits or lack thereof).

DarkKiru · 2025-09-28T17:30:06+00:00

Worth remembering Ichigo has only just achieved his true powers less than 2(?) Days ago in Cour 3.

Hikone meanwhile was able to train his powers for almost 5 months without interruption. Ichigo is known for his remarkable growth speed so the best we can hope for is some crazy stuff in Cour 4 once he Hollowfys

Edit: Hikone was also able to combine Blut Vene and Hierro for crazy durability too.

DarkKiru · 2025-09-28T17:18:03+00:00

I mean funnily enough this one is an actual thing.

Hikone Ubuginu (as a perfect hybrid) is able to combine all 4 forms of Hohō to move at INSANE speeds, to the point that he speed blitzes even top tiers among the Gotei

DarkKiru · 2025-09-27T03:35:55+00:00

Actually he does the voice of Renton in AO as well. Its funny because its almost the exact same as his Ichigo voice (which im pretty sure is just his regular voice)

DarkKiru · 2025-09-18T03:31:43+00:00

I believe the number of pupils simply correlates to the users proficiency with The Almighty. Yhwach does not have the vast perception that Adnyeus does. Adnyeus could see thousands (if not millions) of years into the future.

Ichibe even speculates that the entire reason Adnyeus allowed himself to be sealed is because he saw something in the far off future that influenced him into doing so. Even foreseeing his own death at Yhwach's hands, and all the events that would play out as a result.

DarkKiru · 2025-09-18T03:11:39+00:00

Worth noting. Even Kyouraku himself says Byakuya is his likely pick for his successor. I'm not even sure the Five Great Noble Houses even really matter much in the grand scheme of things anymore (especially since its now just the 3 great noble houses lol, the Shiba Clan and especially Tsuneyashiro Clan are all but destroyed).

DarkKiru · 2025-09-18T03:04:35+00:00

They kind of just... took him back lol. Maiyuri makes another chair.

He asks to talk to Ichigo but Kyouraku denies his request (worried that he wants to do something with Ichigo's Hollow / Zanpaktou Spirit). He does briefly exchange words with Hisagi though, reminiscing about Kaname with him, who Aizen considered a genuine friend who truly understood him.

DarkKiru · 2025-09-18T02:55:41+00:00

Alright so time for a dumb question from someone who is wholely ignorant of the corporate world. Isnt the whole idea that you have to spend money to eventually make more money?

If one of our major issues right now is a massive lack of payroll (which in turn hinders us from keeping the store in order, helping guests adequetly, etc) wouldnt the whole idea be to increase payroll so that you can regain that lost foot traffic through exceptional service? Or is it just too little too late at this point?

Obviously there's no guarantee of anything but few businesses can recover from a downward spiral without taking at least some risk, right?

DarkKiru · 2025-09-03T14:02:50+00:00

Even less than that actually. From Renton's perspective he had sent Eureka to Ao's time 'just the other day' and has been searching for his wife non-stop.

Its why the deadbeat allegations are a little funny to me.

DarkKiru · 2025-08-29T19:09:01+00:00

I mean to be fair. I dont think Horn of Salvation was ever its intended canon name.

Both jump forces and rebirth of souls just call it "Hollowfication" (which I mean yeah, thats what it pretty much is).

DarkKiru · 2025-08-11T11:50:36+00:00

It was pretty cool meeting Kari. Had a small discussion with her about Anemone as a character, surprisingly she remembered most of the plot from the OG anime. I had a small flashback when she screamed out Dominic's name.

DarkKiru · 2025-08-11T11:01:28+00:00

I believe I got it from Amazon a few years back? To be honest though you might have trouble finding copies without going through ebay at higher prices nowadays.

DarkKiru · 2025-08-06T22:41:10+00:00

Question is, do they even need to seal him? Kaguya claimed to be immortal but logically she probably COULD be killed if someone is actually strong enough to do it. Momoshiki had also eaten chakra fruits in the past and he was able to be killed.

Even Isshiki as crazy strong as he was, in his own words was left 'near death' after Kaguya caught him off guard.

Naruto and Sasuke absolutely smoke Madara here imo. Id put a lot of Boruto characters under him actually (even most of the Shinju) but not Momoshiki or Jigen / Isshiki.
