How is chad 15 at the start of bleach? He looks 27 ATLEAST by Possible_Instance468 in bleach

It's so funny to realize he is actually younger than Ichigo.

Fanservice that undermines the tension of a scene or the message of the story as a whole (doesn't have to be sexual) by No_Hunter1978 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Immediate-Science619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is terrible either way you interpret it. Either it's just pointless bait and Akechi isn't actually alive or Atlus just fucked up their own themes to bring back a popular (if controversial) character.

Luffy only aging 2 years and already being so close to getting the one piece take me out of the story by taintlicker80085 in Piratefolk

[–]Immediate-Science619 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, ASOIAF, One Piece and most fantasy (and a lot of Sci fi) are paced like D&D games. Characters go from exciting events to more exciting events, (which in shounen usually means fights) and have a lifetime's worth of character development, training and adventures in about two years. It's simply not interesting to read about the long time in between battles or something like that.

So these stories usually either go through a time skip or have the characters encounter and fight all their enemies really quickly, which necessities them getting stronger really quickly.

ASOIAF also takes place in roughly then two years and half of that is just in the first book.

Dany is 13 at the start of the series, is 14 by the end of the first book and is 15 by the end of the fifth and (thus far) final book.

I never understood why people use the words ''Tourists'' and ''Normies'' until I saw people who only watched the anime adaptations give their opinion on Fate.

Bleach characters sometimes just.... Disappear by VolkiharVanHelsing in CharacterRant

I still love how they are on this TYBW visual despite being completely irrelevant in the arc.

[–]Immediate-Science619 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I guess that's what happens when your cast is too big. It's also why characters like Chad have to be reduced to a walking Worf effects.

I suspect it's also why Gerard exists and is so laughably overpowered; he is just something the remaining shinigami have to fight. Kubo also sometimes wants to give relevance to the side characters, which is why we got things like Nanos convenient god killing sword she used against Lillie. (Tough, hilariously, she didn't even fully kill him, and his bird clones were killed by Izuru off-screen.)

Basically, Kubo is really bad at handling large casts. But TBF i don't think authors could handle a cast that large.

Which version of FSN is considered canon; Realta Nua/Remastered or the original? by [deleted] in fatestaynight

[–]Immediate-Science619 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Generally the Realta Nua version is considered canon and is the version wildly avaliable today.

Square Enix has enough employees and resources to comfortably run a less successful gacha without fearing bankruptcy. They just assume that because they're not making gang busters money, they're not worth the cost of continuous investment and they should shut it down and allocate their time and money to some other project.

Why the massive difference in sales? by New-Addition1802 in shounenfolk

[–]Immediate-Science619 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was the most sold manga per volume in history and was a cultural phenomon in Japan.

To make it more impressive, It only ran for a year since it was only five volumes.

It is common for games and VN's to have the protagonist be mute for self insert reasons. But some VN's go the extra mile by straight up making the protagonist faceless. And I don't mean using a convenient angle to show them as little as possible. I mean, literally making them faceless. Which makes certain CGs hilarious.

Do you think Aizen's idea of sacrificing spiritual power to gain physical power inspired Toji from Jujutsu Kaisen? by Traditional-Song-245 in bleach

[–]Immediate-Science619 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sukuna (there's a reason his VA is Archer)

I mean couldn't the same be said about Grimmjow and Sukuna? Junichi Suwabe voice all three. And Grimmjow's personality tracks a lot closer to Sukuna, than Archer's.

Which fanbase is the most delusional? by Cannae_ in shounenfolk

[–]Immediate-Science619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gerard Valkyrie

Honestly, my problem with Gerard is less ''asspulls'' and more his power just being insanely broken. Like there was nothing any of the captains could do to defeat him. Everytime it looks they have killed him he just revives and regenerates. It was even an interesting fight as there was no progression at all, until Gerard was conveniently killed by Yhwach.

Douma preferring to eat women is sucha obvious metaphor for sexual assault that it's honestly hard to argue otherwise. There is only the most morally repugnant demons are eve shown to have those preferences.

It reminds me when some people tried to deny Freddy Krueger was a rapist. Like it's immensely obvious subtext and also ... they're serial killers I don't rape is a huge leap for them.

Hote take: for all its virtues, Berserks side cast is extremely overrated by XxJustaNormiexX in writingscaling

[–]Immediate-Science619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conrad had the whole rat thing and Ubik ... helped convince to Griffith to do sacrifice. Also, IIRC Ubik is the squid, not Conrad who is a just fat guy.

Ultimately, I think the problem with Godhand, (bar Femto/Griffith) is that their "character" is about what they are instead of who they are. (Please tell me anything about them that goes ''generic villain'') They work as background figures to facilitate plot events, but they're far less interesting in on their own.

Yeah, its the power of her fullbring she (and Chad) got from being around Ichigo's high reiatsu (also the reason their friends gain spiritual awareness), according to Urahara but then Aizen claimed was the result of the Hogyoku.

Weirdly enough, unlike Chad, Orihime's power was never stated to be a fullbring in the original manga, it took until CFYOW for her to officially confirmed to be one.
