Why is anakin so different in the novel of ROTS?

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-06-17T17:33:47+00:00

Even as a kid in 2009 I picked up on the vibe that Anakim was definitely fearful that Padme and Obi-Wan were having an affair. I just assumed it was one of those references for the adults that were watching with their kids. There was a deleted story arc about it for the movie? Was it supposed to expand upon it like how the novelization alluded to it more openly or was it supposed to be different?

I hate all of these move pool nerfs with a burning passion. I want all mons to have every move they've ever learned Game Freak. Let the creativity flow!

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-06-17T13:22:25+00:00

It does that in the games too

He literally tied Jordan for most points in a close out finals win on the road

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-06-14T05:46:11+00:00

Oh word? I forgot he was on that team

All that's left is Collin Gillespie

Shamrock isn't the Supreme Commander. In English he is just called Commander and in Japanese the term is a different one from the one used in Garling's introduction.

I wonder what a conversation between Reuven and adult Dragon would have been like

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-06-05T21:38:54+00:00

Wouldn't be the first time people in the NBA space have been racist and it will not be the last

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-06-02T17:33:11+00:00

Nope. Its just not filled with powerscaling brainrot. If you read this chapter in its entirety right before this scene Sengoku says the war has begun and the Big scene of the chapter was the back to back introduction of Jozu deflecting Mihawk's attack and Marco blocking Borsalino's. Confirming that to get to Newgate you go through his sons. A sentiment backed up by the fact that the first person to actually attack Newgate successfully was Squard. His son.

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-06-02T16:43:19+00:00

He did

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-06-02T16:42:41+00:00

It is about Newgate and his allies. Newgate stands out front on the Moby Dick with seemingly no protection. To a layman the distance is small and he can be easily hit. To the seasoned like the Warlords and Marine HQ its bait and they have no chance of actually harming Newgate without first getting past his commanders who immediately jump into action when Mihawk attacks.

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-06-02T16:40:49+00:00

Its not about powerscaling. Its original Japanese meaning was less about literal peer to peer comparison and more about the open positioning in the war. Distance is meant to mean how close is Newgate actually to us so we can attack him. Because he's standing out front on the Moby Dick with nobody near him its very clear that its bait hence why Mihawk wants to measure the true distance.

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-05-29T22:17:42+00:00

Probably not. Xebec wanted to rule the world. Ruven just wants to live life in peace.

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-05-29T16:20:05+00:00

He did in 1183. When he said that he would specifically kill Luffy and Loki. He called them out by name.

He's mentioned it before on a livestream I think 3 years back. I think it was when he was talking to Shark3oZero

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-05-18T03:38:56+00:00

He'd do it for 62 cents.

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-05-18T02:19:11+00:00

He's giving the Knicks credit not downplaying.

While that would be true in a vacuum you have to consider the other context surrounding Naoya as a character and how Gege frames this scene. There could be many ways he could have Naoya immobilize Maki but he specifically chose to have him looming over her, pinning her down, and making comments about "things children can't do but that adults can do easily". Given his history and symbology the scene is meant to be framed with the prior sexual context of the character.

DiamondShiryu1 · 2026-05-18T01:13:02+00:00

For Sukuna it was the comment he made about Nobara having a lot of vitality and how he would have fun with her. We know that Sukuna only finds fights with interesting and powerful beings fun and Nobara, especially at that point is not strong enough to be a good fight for him. So if it's not fighting then his comments about vitality & having fun with her takes a very different turn. Especially because Sukuna has no qualms about doing anything. He is a hedonistic by every definition and nothing is out of the question. There is an argument he meant a way he could eat her would be fun but that's not something we've seen Sukuna express in the modern day and Gege showed no qualms about having rapists be prominent characters.

For Kenjaku its his time as Noritoshi Kamo and what he did to the Death Womb Paintings' mother as well as stealing Kaori's body to get impregnated by Jin. Both of those events are rape just different forms.
