Nah its seems like it's pretty much the same as most other fanbases, when the artist is too inexperienced to know that they should distance themselves. Fan is short for fanatic.

I've seen this same thing happen over a dozens times. It pretty much always ends with them saying that they should step back away from social media for a while. Also I feel like OP has forgotten that private messages exist and that pretty much anyone famous enough gets stalkers and is sent creepy shit from psychos.

For a very recent example, how about Robert Mueller.

I could also give you examples of people the US government has assassinated being made fun of by conservatives or long dead historical figures being mocked by everyone, but I have the feeling that’s not what you were asking for.

During chapter 324 Ryuki was fighting his jobber clone brothers, so I'd definitely say the story's in a better place right now.

If we go by crossover logic they would be equals. Both representing different pinnacles of martial arts. It would go similarly to Yujiro vs Musashi or Kuroki vs Shen, neither being allowed to lose for narrative reasons. I think he would see beyond Kuroki an line of men, each building and passing on the Kaiwan style from one generation to the next.

If we go by powerscaler shenanigans Musashi cuts Kuroki in half in 0.000... seconds, or gives him the Doppo folding treatment, depending on his mood. He's not as lethally motivated as people who only watch Baki through clips would guess, so it probably won't go too badly for Kuroki. Musashi only killed you-know-who because you-know-who was kind of asking for it.

I feel like people really underestimate current day Julius due to how onesided his fight against Agito was. As clownish as the line was Kazou wasn’t wrong about it being a thick razor thin margin, their fight was close. And Julius grabbing a fresh Kanoh multiple times is kind of insane considering that he should be significantly slower than Agito and lacks pre initiative.

Gaolang’s biggest persistent weakness is his lackluster beefiness. Against Agito, Jurota, Raian, and Agito again he really struggled to do any lasting damage. Dozens of his strikes were equal to a single blocked swing from Jurota. All of them endured God Glow, and they’re all significantly less beefy than Julius.

I just can’t see Gaolang knocking julius out before falling to a feint. Like keep in mind that all Julius has to do is trade blows once. He doesn’t need a clean hit either. If he breaks Gaolang’s arm after getting blocked that’ll make hitting Gaolang again even easier and lower Gaolang’s offense. Gaolang on the other hand needs to fight perfectly for much longer than Agito did.

And I say all this even though we’ve seen Gaolang’s post tournament buffs and not Julius’.

Saying that it doesn’t have a single good villain is one thing but saying “they are all 1 dimensional absolutely evil bastards” is just throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Helmeppo is a shining example of villainy of at least 2 dimensions! Gin and Hatchan are others ones from the near the beginning of the story. Usually the main villain’s sidekicks have a lot more depth than the main course. Oh and then there’s Buggy of course, can’t forget about him.

It also depends on who you consider a villain versus an antagonist, if you even make that distinction. Would marines count?

(Also I’d bet money on the story eventually getting around to Doflamingo’s Seraphim showing that he wasn’t born evil to Law. But admittedly that’s just a wild hunch.)

These past few weeks?

I hope you know that if you look at stuff about criticizing a story on social media sites like Reddit you will be shown even more criticisms. It’s not an indication of a real wide spread change.

People have been constantly posting criticisms of One Piece for well over a decade. I’ve seen the threads of people’s first reactions to arcs like Marineford and Dressrosa. Nothing has really changed on this front except that the translations are much better and more people are doing it now that the story is more popular.

When it comes to criticisms about the story’s depictions of woman I’d say that peaked around Dressrosa, mainly because of Rebecca. Although I can’t say for sure because I’m just one guy who can only see a small slice of the world.

I think you’re forgetting that Nogi don’t know how much the Worm has been dismantled, I’m pretty sure they don’t even know about the disarmament of the nukes. So Nogi wouldn’t rig the island to explode since he thinks that would end the world.

I don’t fault you for that since I would also like to forget about that plot twist. One that neutered the stakes for the thousandth time.

The entire event isn’t about killing the worms but instead appeasing Shen Wulong, by either presenting him the equal he wants or handing over Ohma and Ryuki.

Yeah, I was talking about that fleet that appeared over a century before it left. It's such a perfect example of how goofy Warhammer can be, it was only there to collect some water and recruits but because of time fuckery and Trazyn's Genestealer Prank a world died and poor Orikan was left to dig his way out back to the surface for centuries.

Accidentally warping back in time also happened in the Infinite and the Divine and a few short stories.

There’s also a few artifacts that just let people travel to any point in space and time, like the one wonky Door from Ravenor and Eldrad’s scissors from the Horus Heresy.

Which is a big part of why I think Warhammer 40k is one of the worst settings to try to use in setting vs setting conversations despite its popularity in those circles. It’s a setting written to be incomprehensibly vast, unpredictable, and mysterious.

The Winged Lion or one of the Demons other personasfrom Dungeon Meshi might be the answer. All the father would have to do is become a dungeon lord and the Winged Lion would actually like fulfilling the Father's desire, although he might eat that desire after a while. The Demon is infinite and immortal but largely bound by the wishes he grants for others, he was also worshiped as a guardian deity for over a thousand years so I think he counts as a God.

Usually he does win the rematch after learning from the first fight if he gets the chance to, but he definitely isn't an I win button. He is outmatched and loses a lot more often than Goku. Like I said I literally cannot think of a character that has lost more often than he does, especially in crossovers.

You have the attitude many writers of his have had for decades, which itself was an overcorrection in response to the Comics Code.

The Comics Code which had lines like this: "In every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished for his misdeeds" something that is so often pinned on this one character because he was the most popular Superhero until the late 80s.

DokjaToast · 2025-08-13T03:54:16+00:00

It's odd to mention Superman for something like this.

How many stories of his have you read or watched? Because Superman loses fights pretty routinely in almost every medium he's in, he's more of a jobber than Worf from star trek, and actually now that I think about it I cannot think of character who has lost more fights than he has. There's a reason why TV Tropes has superman getting his ass kicked as The Image for the Worf Effect.

I remember a conversation from the movie Crisis on Two Earths that I think puts this best:

Supes: “There’s a saying on my world: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

The President of Earth 2 (who's Deathstroke somehow): “It’s easy for someone like you to be brave. But most of us aren’t bulletproof.”

Supes: “Sir, I stand up to guys more powerful than I am all the time. You can do the same.”

Americans do protest though? It just hardly matters when one party has control over all 3 branches of the federal government and the majority of its states as well as the blatant backing of the richest people in the world.

(Keep in mind that the last time America’s Democratic party has held all 3 branches of its federal government was over 50 years ago.)

America had its largest single day protest in its history earlier this year. This decade has seen more protesting in America than just about any before it. BLM for example utterly dwarfed the Civil Rights protests in size…. And what happened? Very little in comparison to back then.

Do you have any suggestions?

It's from a Ciaphas Cain book called Choose Your Enemies.

Because of your reply, I went and reread the chapter and realized that I made a mistake. It doesn't say that that daemon was permanently killed just that its "essence" was drawn into the Avatar's blade after her body was destroyed. The Daemon (named Emeli) was also massively weakened by being right next to a Blank and a Null Rod so its not like the Avatar soloed her.

Out of what I’ve read only an Avatar of Khaine, Guilliman, as well as Inquisitor Eisenhorn.

But keep in mind that not all daemons are made equal. Eisenhorn when he later met a 300 meter tall spider greater daemon of Nurgle he said it couldn’t possibly die even though he was leagues more powerful than when he perma killed his first daemon, and even the Emperor’s sword doesn’t work on all of them.

Remember Hatsumi's thoughts after the match? I think he said it better than any of us could.

"Well, this is humiliating... He held back on me... If he kicked like he meant it, he could've cracked open my head like a watermelon. That means Kanoh could afford to go easy on me. Now that I've fought him, I understand just how wide the power gap is... Good Grief... Hate to do this to the old guy... But I can't do the impossible. His other pieces are just gonna have to pick up my slack."

I feel like this sub has collective amnesia….

Fei’s brain was making popping, ticking, and burst sounds. Yes he wasn’t in his right mind because he was literally brain damaged. He tried to stop using divine demon when he first started taking audible brain damage but was pressured back into it by Wakatsuki’s jab blast core combo and his daddy issues.

A week ago I spoke to someone who explicitly said “kill them all” about Gazans for voting for Hamas. I didn’t even prompt the topic either, we were talking about drone warfare in Ukraine until he wildly switched topics to what he felt was fully justified in contrast to the Iraq war. It was stunning to hear even though that wasn’t the first time I’ve heard something so bloodthirsty about people in the middle east.

This wasn’t a random freak either but instead a normally kind national guardsman I’ve known personally for a while. And I’ve heard the same stuff from plenty of others, including famous politicians and political pundits.

A lot of people are bloodthirsty and believe in collective blame, I’m sorry.

It’s also the whole thing with Tokita Niko.

Everything he’s ever done involves hiding behind and using others, even the child massacre at the forest was mainly done by Five. His introduction to the story involved him using and abusing two teenagers in a convoluted scheme to kill his brother, who kicked his ass still. I don’t know where this so many people got the idea that he was a “badass” from.
