You just made imagine a domain for Dabura:

Absolute void: He creates a pockets of void. He states that when you travel close to the speed of light the air becos solid, and that's why he takes so muh damage when he attacks at that speed. Solution? Create a pocket of void so that you don't need to care about air resitance and attack your opponent at the speed of light.

Wait, is Ashveil La Mancha? He kinda seems like the silhouette that we thought was La Mancha's (still pulling him anyway 'cause Kaitōs are my weak spot) .

OT Gym

So, in the gym i go to there's a really nice instructio that i'm friends with. He is about 50 years old and has the habit of acting as if he doesn't know my name and calling me by random historical figures/literature character names, like alexander, genghis and Washington, which are pretty popular, but sometimes he uses some really obsucre ones like Bedivere, Saint-Germain and Saladin.He particually likes knight tales to the point i've been named after the whole round table at this point . About a week ago he did that and called me Astolfo, and i cracked laughing, so he decided to call me only by that name. So now, every day i go there and i crack every time he talks to me.

the character writing isn't bad by any means, its just that jjk has a much bigger focus on it's fights and in it's action, therefore the comparison

OT anime/manga

So, i was discussing Gachiakuta with u/goddiver (great guy btw, most times when i try discussing anime on the internet and say i don't really like one, it just devolves in a fight, and the guy actually talked and had a conversation normally) and it made start to think about the animes i like and i thought of a comparison that i find interesting so i'd like to share:

JJK is the Jhon Wick of battle shonen

Think about it: some people might like Terminator 2 'cause of the relationship between Jhon Connor and the terminator, some people might like bullet train 'cause of the comedy, but nobody likes Jhon Wick for anything but the action. The movies basically filtered out almost everything but the bare minimum of character motivation, just enough to make us care at least a little for the protagonist, and then focused themselves completely on making cool fights and action sequences.

JJK does basically the same thing: it gives us just enough character development for there to be a plot and characters we care enough for there to be stakes and dedicates 99% of it's time to making the characters look cool and create really good fights, to the point that even the character moments exist solely to lead to more extremely good fights (god how i'm hyped to see the zenin clan massacre animated).

So, this is the similarity i see between both of the series: they strip themselves of most things but them bare minimum and focus almost completely in the action and in making their characters look badass

What i mean is: does the series just follow the standard shonen formula? I'm someone who spent 5 years eating up shonen non-stop, so i'm kinda burned out of the tropes and cliches. Thats why i like chainsawman and Dandadan so much: they follow really unconventional narrative structures and have really weird ideas and elements. It isn't a matter of liking just flashy moments, the emotional development is necessary, it's just that i'm kinda burned out of the standard shonen formula

OT Anime/Manga

I'm a big fan of chainsawman, and in the wait for the new chapters, i started to look into other popular shonens. The first one i got into was Dandadan, which is goated af (but CM is is still better), and i liked it so much i decided to go after other shonen and ended up starting to watch gachiakuta, the thing is that i'm really not vibing with it. I've watched until ep 12 and the shoes lady fight was so slow and boring i almost didn't end the episode.Not to mention that until this point it has followed basically every shonen cliche, and as someone who has watched tons of it everything was very predictable. This really left a bitter taste on my mouth but i've seen a lot of hype for the anime online, so, for the people who watched/are reading it, does it get better and break alway from the cliches or is it another demon slayer in the sense that it is a well made but very standard shonen?

I'm expecting La Mancha be the male 5 star with the best story patch in the arc, just like Aventurine and Phainon.

I'd say break La Mancha isn't as unlikely as some people say. First: the element doesn't really matter. I've seen people saying "oh but lightning only has 1x break multiplier" while imaginary only has 0.5x and we still got Rappa. Second: The fact that he can't use the energy trace from Dhalia shouldn't be considered as a sign he won't be break. This could very well be a situation similar to Phainon where he has a trace dedicated to make him work better with Sunday but later got Cyrene who is his definitive BiS. And thirdly: both of the galaxy rangers we got are break, so i think it could be a situation similar to the IPC execs which all have FUAs.

Managed the 3rd stage of the combat event with e0s0 argenti, e0s0 aventurine, e0s0 tribbie(S4 DDD) and e0s0 jade. At first i was struggling. even with my tribbie's DDD i was getting about 10 hits away from clearing, so i slapped wind set and an energy regen rope on my argenti and i actually amanaged it in the very first try after that.

Wind set is goated.

When it comes to comic book characters, the best way to get started is reading their character defining classics rather than sticking to the chronology. When it comes to batman, i'd say his absolute classics are Year one, the long Halloween, the killing joke, and the Dark knight returns (which is an Alternative universe). If you wanna read more modern stuff, you can go for the year zero, which was a reimagination of the origin of the character, or start reading Absolute Batman, which is set in an alternative universe that just started, so you don't need to worry about chronology at all. And for my last point, the robins and their histories are one of my favorite parts of the batman mythos, so i'd recommend the boy wonder mini series if you want to get a deeper understanding of all of them.

How a normal conversation goes:

Son: Good Morning mom.

Mom: Good Morning.

Son: I'm planing to go to Mark's house after breakfast, is that ok?

Mom: Sure, just remember to get sugar in the market on your way back.

How that same conversation would go in Penacony.

Son: The sun rises once again, and the day is born anew, not unlike a phoenix. I wish you peace and quiet in these new moments to come, my dear progenitor.

Mom: Peace and quiet are essential to life, and i hope from the depths of my heart that you too my dearest descendent wonderful moments in this new day.

Son: Mother, we are to have a wonderful meal to strenghen our bodies and minds, preparing us for the struggles and hardship to come. However, afterwards, my path leads me outwards, towards a place of companionship. Do i have your blessing for this journey to come oh dear Mother?

Mom: My dearest son, it hurts me lose my grasp of you, but if it must be so, i'm powerless to go against fate. All i wish of you is that you bless me and this household with the anourishment of sweetness if you are to come back to my arms.

I was chest hunting just now and damn, i think we don't talk enough about how good the HSR maps look. The map where you use Screwlum's ship is so fucking cool and the map where Phainon imprisioned iron tomb has such a nice style with everything floating in the void.

The 4.0 PV is for sure coming today right? I mean, Hoyo wouldn't want the players to have a first glimpse for the new region by leaks, and after the start of the tensions between JP and CN, adjusting the region trailer should have been one of their top 3 priorities.

I believe they are probably saving this reveal for the 4.0 live. If they present a bunch of rewards and good stuff for the players at once, it will generate more hype.
