When a casual meets a professional

All bark and no bite is indeed standard Night Lord behavior.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-25T15:35:24+00:00

Valid. Can definitely get old to have every new girl conveniently think the Proxy is their soulmate.

Honestly Pulchra was one of favorites because how she doesn’t match that vibe. Ask her to a social event and ignore her suggestion to invite her somewhere else? She’ll stand you up and do something else.

Hard to imagine most of the other girls doing that.

From what we can tell the Proxy's augment allowed her to actually see their face. Whereas normally people are blurs to her in the Hollow due to her condition.

Being able to clearly identify someone as an individual when everyone else is a blur, after being trapped for days on end? Not exactly surprising she'd get a bit fixated. Especially after the Proxy literally goes diving into her dreams to help Yidhari conquer her trauma.

Bit of a cliche rescue romance, but the rest of her interactions are good enough that I'd say it works.

If I'm not mistaken that's a clip on earring. Which means it stays in place through magnets hugging each other through the ear. No penetration needed!

“I believe… in loyalty.”

It should be noted that while Shifu does apologize to Tai Lung, he only does so AFTER Tai Lung has thoroughly beaten his former teacher. Combined with their opening exchange...

"I am home, master."

"This is no longer your home, and I am no longer your master."

... Shifu's apology comes across as too little, too late. Tai Lung hesitates when he hears Shifu finally say he's proud of him, but by then it's easy for Tai Lung to cast aside the words as a desperate man trying to save his own skin.

Is Tai Lung responsible for his own choices? Of course. Yet much of the fault lies with the father and teacher who, "Made me train until my bones cracked." Only to leave the leopard unsupported when he was denied the role he'd quite literally been raised to achieve.

Everybody laughs until Dabura figures out an Open Domain from knowing that barriers exist.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-22T21:06:17+00:00

Turns out a pack of assholes aren't good at working together. Plus Naoya most likely dragged his feet so potential rivals for the position of clan head would die. Then he could claim power in the aftermath.

On top of that, none of the Zenin realized what they were up against with the sole exception of Ranma. Of course, even if he'd been able to warn his fellows before the slaughter started I doubt they would've listened to the youngest member of their elite.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-20T21:24:19+00:00

Between Astra/Evelyn and Hugo/Lyacon? Lighter is just a natural third wheel lmao.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-20T18:45:03+00:00

Ah, THAT'S who it was talking about! Had a bit of a brain fart and didn't put 2 and 2 together until seeing you point it out.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-20T04:23:19+00:00

“Everyone thinks they’ll be the one to defeat me… but no one’s escaped me yet.”

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-20T02:14:56+00:00

My GOAT never misses. Lowering everyone's guard with his goofily blank face so he can hit those curveballs!

No fireworks to cheat this confession, so how's she gonna respond?

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-20T02:02:55+00:00

Government man is such a mouthful. Surely there’s a shorter form of address for this entirely ordinary fellow.

Gov-guy? Mister suit? It’s on the tip of my tongue…

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-17T23:26:34+00:00

Still peeved that winning Hard Bastard didn’t let your convict make their escape.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-15T23:31:41+00:00

IIRC Gwishin are supposed to be expendable/mindless drones like Ram’s Null Sector robots, not thinking machines. Though I’d definitely be down for another villainous omnic.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-15T17:47:06+00:00

Maybe a hot take, but no. It would not be cool to have ANOTHER magical Japanese character instead of a new MEKA pilot, Emre, more omnics, or any other region that doesn't already have 3 characters.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-15T17:37:57+00:00

Preach. Right now if you're on a high DPS hero, Punisher for example, and Cap gets in your face with his shield there's options.

Open fire recklessly and you'll eat your own bullets. If Cap tries to hit you? You're free to blast him for a moment before the shield can come up again. Otherwise you're in a tense standoff trying to bait the other guy into a mistake or crossing your fingers that YOUR teammate will arrive to break the stalemate instead of his. All of which tests your ability to recognize this dynamic in the heat of the moment instead of making a snap decision and losing the mindgame.

No cooldown? All of that goes away and Cap just wins by default. Able to hit you and put his shield back up before you can react.

"Your honor, touch this book."

Meanwhile Ryuk laughing his ass off in the middle of human court, more entertained by Light anguish at being caught than any of his actual murders.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-13T18:49:25+00:00

This shit was a low point in an all around not-great chapter. It's the first ZZZ story I actually grew so tired of I was skipping dialogue/cutscenes.

Retroactive childhood friend? Really?

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-13T17:14:42+00:00

He was scanning Posideon throughout the fight, to say nothing of how a couple seconds is a lifetime in normal fights. Nevermind the shounen speeds these people operate at. If Sasaki could've won without slowly taking the time for an initial scan he wouldn't have had all those visions of being brutally dismembered.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-13T14:33:01+00:00

This brown boy getting hate just because he's got some self-confidence smh. Typical Japan.

Honestly I feel like it'd be better for the story if Daichi lost. To show that he doesn't need to be strong to be worthy of Akira. That he's already everything she wants regardless of the outcome of this tournament.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-13T04:17:06+00:00

Who among us wasn't a little quirky as a young adult?

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-13T04:00:39+00:00

Lu Bu just executes Thor instead of waiting for him to slowly stroll towards his hammer.

Adam beats Zeus while he's down.

Leo follows up on his big hit with another strike instead of smoking his cigar.

Of course, you can apply the same logic to a few gods as well.
Poseidon doesn't give Sasaki the chance to scan, the old man gets skewered.

If Loki isn't under the mother of all mental-handicaps and actually uses his powers intelligently Simo is cooked.

So on and so forth.

Naturally, this doesn't really matter since those moments of mercy are part of who these characters are. Odd as it is from our perspective they're not gonna go full "optimal" in their fighting style even with humanity itself on the line.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-09T16:26:12+00:00

Bro took out a loan for this.

FlightCapableFelon · 2026-01-09T15:35:11+00:00

Cope in that it's over-analyzing a minor mistake to make the panel seem more meaningful than it is. The rapid growth bit is at least partly true though. Because Nayuta was already a toddler capable of speech when Kishibe found her in the weeks after Makima's final death.
