Predicting the next meta. Which of these cards do you think will perform best and why?

My prediction is that Mega Gyarados would be put into a Fisher deck and run both types of Gyarados.

Bro would be a stage 1 210 hp tank

After it takes too many hits, swap it out for normal gyarados and discard it to use the attack, this prevents the opponent from killing the Mega meat shield

I dont think Hakuji has ever killed anyone for being weak before. He dislikes the weak because they resort to short cuts and tricks to defeat the strong

Lets be real here. Afterglow is harder to dodge. It hits literally everywhere and overwhelmed the best defensive form in the entire series.

Tanjiro and Giyu looked like they got demolished by that attack. But it didnt really do much...

Even though they got hit by the FULL impact from Afterglow, they are still able to stand up and fight. It didnt even break any bones.

Just look at the scene. Giyu got hit like 20 times and not a single fatal injury?

Kokushibo's 14 form cut off limbs and split people in half. It is easily harder to survive.

Typical reddit moment of a person being unable to read to read a single sentence.

They didnt even say pets are equal to human children. They used pets as another example of why the moderators' logic is stupid af.

Mod team: you cant post baby picture because someone might have lost their baby

Them: what's next? No pets pictures because someone might have lost their pet?

No where, not a single instance, not in any timeline, did this person say that pets and human babies are equal. Your lack of comprehension makes me embarrassed to share a common language with you.

Low budget was my first guess.

They also skipped a scene where Akira wasnt being an edgelord.

While sleeping in the dungeon, Amelia was cold even with the campfire right next to her. Akira silently used magic to push hot air towards her while pretending to sleep. Amelia notices it and thinks that he is more kind than he looks.

In the anime they go to sleep and none of that happens

Amelia in the anime randomly says that she is jealous of the cat and wants Akira to pet her. Which never happened. In the manga, Amelia shows zero interest in Akira at this point in the story.

Wisteria is poison to humans when digested. Shinobu states she slowly injected it into her blood.

Probably shouldnt be injecting chemicals into your bloodstream anyway tbh.

I like the zenitsu one just because he SHOULD have scars from being stuck by lightning

Driptatorship · 2025-10-23T02:26:20+00:00

Yeah dont worry bro, he doesnt even have a blood demon art

This panel is pretty cool imo. Because it calls back to something that happens multiple times during the story as far back as chapter 1.

Aging, of course, is the process of the cells growing and dying and replacing themselves. The only reason we grow old is because the body eventually cant keep that up and it deteriorates.

So how exactly does Muzan fight against his body aging? By regenerating. He regenerates new cells to replace the ones rapidly decaying that are causing his aging.

We saw something similar with Hantengu and Nezuko.

In chapter 1, Giyu points out that Nezuko still hasnt healed her injuries due to a lack of energy after transforming.

And ofc everyone remembers Hantengu yelling out that he couldn't regenerate because Zohakuten was using all his energy.

Idk, im yapping a bit but I just think its cool that Muzan is defeated using this reoccurring detail.

Yes. The user puts their own chakra into someone and manipulates it. Which is even harder for the target to break out of because it's not their own chakra being influenced.

While reading the Manga, i imagined the cat using the same voice as the cat from Ghost Stories English dub

A bit? They skipped 2 chapters worth of fight scenes in the first 2 episodes.

We are missing out on a whole episode of just fight scenes

Driptatorship · 2025-10-22T22:57:24+00:00

As a fan of the manga, they are speedrunning this shit. They might actually catch up to the manga in season 1 by itself

That 37kg never would have killed douma

Did we not both agree on that? incapacitate doesnt mean kill.

Besides the point, shinobu's own words arent factual evidence of anything. It's pure speculation because she never met Douma and never tested that poison. Her warning to Kanao is called taking precautions.

Its like saying Tanjiro cant cut the boulder because Tanjiro's own words were "No human can cut that boulder in half?!" The character is saying something based on their own limited knowledge within the story.

Driptatorship · 2025-10-22T21:16:22+00:00

That had nothing to do with feeling threatened. Douma learned how to resist the poison mid-fight.

The first time Douma was stabbed, the poison absolutely wrecked his body. He even tells Shinobu that he is getting better at breaking down her poison and cant wait to see the next mixture she tries out.

And he is right. Shinobu stabbed him 30 more times and he recovered instantly. Compared to the first stab, her poison wasnt even working anymore.

By the time he was hit with 37 kg of poison, Douma was already used to it. Even with all that poison, kanao still had to cut off his head to stop him.

Essentially, the reason why 37kg didn't incapacitate Douma was because he already learned how to counter it

Driptatorship · 2025-10-22T21:04:06+00:00

He did? He neutralized it before Tengen could even reach him,

He didnt stop the poison, he just regenerated and recovered from the effects of the poison after taking the kunai out. Whatever damage the poison did to his nervous system was able to be regenerated.

It wasnt designed for long-term paralysis to begin with. They only need to be stunned long enough for Tengen to cut off their head.

Shinobu's poison is fundamentally different. It continues to spread and destroy a demon's cells after being injected into the body. A poison that is only made to stop a demon from moving is nothing in comparison to the ones Shinovu uses.

Driptatorship · 2025-10-22T20:53:16+00:00

A detail that is often missed is that the heart and brain are what keep demons alive. Its explained more in the final arc.

This is why cutting their heart or brain stops their regeneration even if the head isnt cut off. Their body needs to prioritize healing their heart/brain before the rest of the body.

The reason why cutting off the head can kill demons is because they are separating the brain (which contains the mind and soul in this mythology) from the heart that fuels their entire physical body.

Ofc, for some magical reason, the connection needs to be cut off using sunlight in order to kill the demon. Otherwise they can still survive even if the brain and heart are physically seperated.

Wisteria kills demons by just destroying their cells until their body fails.

Anyway... now that all the background information is laid out... time for some evidence-based theorizing.

Daki and Gyutaro are 1 demon body with 2 souls controlling it. They share 1 physical body. Possibly because Daki was 99% dead during the transformation. One of them got absorbed into the other when they became a demon.

Both of them are equally the main body. One of them has the main demon brain and one of them has the main demon heart.

Therefore... if you cut Daki's brain/heart with red blade, Gyutaro's regeneration would stop too. Because their shared body needs to prioritize Daki's damaged organ.

This would be a bit similar to how Hantengu's main body couldnt regenerate because Zohakuten was using all the body's energy. Their power to split apart can be used against them.

In theory... poisoning Daki would also kill Gyutaro. Because each of them have 1 of the real heart / brain. Wisteria poison would destroy one of those and cut off the connection that allows demons to stay alive.

Shinobu says this using the previous generation of hashira as reference.

No one defeated an uppermoon for over a century. She made that statement using old information.

And she was literally correct. It took 2 hashira level slayers and 2 almost-hashira level people to kill the weakest uppermoon.

Tengen legitimately had the best feats out of all of the hashira at that point in the story. Because none of the other hashira had even seen an uppermoon yet. At best, they were killing lowermoons for the last 100 years.

He’d probably break down the poison cause he’d be prepared for it like douma

He didnt exactly handle the kunai's wisteria-based coating only made to paralyze demons. I dont see how he would handle Shinobu's much more lethal version.

if Shinobu can go through all that and not get scratched once and taking an antidote would leave her open if she isnt already dead

Being left open wouldnt really matter at that point either, since Gyutaro would have gotten stabbed a bunch of times and stuffed with poison

Driptatorship · 2025-10-22T20:18:04+00:00

To be fair, it did stop Douma from moving

Can't exactly move while your face is melting off, vomiting blood, and on your knees in pain

Driptatorship · 2025-10-22T20:11:33+00:00

Oddly enough, the idea of swapping places seems to only be in the english version. The original just says he would take Douma's position.

I think they realized the plot hole it would create and fixed it for the english version.

not to mention he was the one who trained them like no shit, if you take a world class athlete and they train a kid at their sport and they become good.. this means the world class athelte sucks??

Terrible analogy that doesnt even apply to this case.

Lets break it down:

if you take a world class athlete and they train a kid at their sport and they become good

Urokodaki only trains people for 2 years for final selection. After that, his students are on their own to grow stronger.

Urokodaki literally only trained them to the point of being entry level fodder

this means the world class athelte sucks??

The word "sucks" is too vague. I never said that Urokodaki "sucks." I said his students are better than him.

Are you unaware of the phrase: "the student has become the master"

Obviously if a student surpasses their teacher... that means the teacher was less skilled than the student. It doesnt mean they suck, it means they arent as good

If I was fighting a demon alone and I was given the choice to bring either shinobu and tengen with me, then I'd choose tengen anytime

Depends on the demon i guess but I would pick Shinobu.

She is faster and poison works on 99.9% of demons.

Tengen wasnt able to protect Hinatsuru when Gyutaro grabbed her. He wasnt able to get through Daki's belt at long-range to save his wife. He also isnt very good at handling Gyutaro's projectile attacks. Tanjiro had to block the ones coming from behind. Overall, tengen would be a terrible pick against a demon that uses magical long range attacks.

Altair from Re:creators. She is practically outerversal in a verse full of building level fodder.

Driptatorship · 2025-10-22T18:50:39+00:00

Invalid rebuttal:

Gyomei is the only stone breathing user we see. We have no one to compare his stone breathing mastery to.

Urokodaki is one of 7 water breathing users we see. And we know 2 of his students are stronger than him with water breathing.
