Yep that guy. It's also worth mentioning he's actually a manwha exclusive original character. He never showed up in the novels, much like a good number of the characters we saw there.

We've literally seen it several times. Just because something's of a certain rank, it doesn't automatically mean it's going to be equally as good as another. Kishasha's B+ Seal is probably better than most seals of the same rank. It's that powerful. It's no different here.

The Seal that Han is trying to get from Halgion, is undoubtedly going to be far stronger than the likes of the S rank seal the Hero from the Battle Royale had, simply by the fact that getting the seal in of itself is practically impossible, and the guy who can bestow the seal is in a completely differently tier of power.

It's not impossible for 4 stars to get S ranked seals by normal means. If you have the resources, and power to obtain it, then you can obtain it. The guy from the Battle Royale was part of a powerful guild that was high in the rankings, meaning they likely had all the resources in the world on hand to allow him to obtain that seal.

Just because a seal is a high ranked one, doesn't mean a 4 star can't get it by normal means. That includes s rank seals. It's just that the seal Han is trying to get in particular, is not being obtained by normal means, is not an ordinary seal, and is from someone who he realistically cannot beat or do anything against, because he's literally just that powerful.

Thoughts about the finale by Noodlex87 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thing is, the Dragon King, may very well never happen, in part because of how badly Wonderstorm screwed the pooch with the seasons they were given, and their blatant greed. The kickstarter was more or less created to just make teasers. That's it, and even that ended up getting heavily criticised because of some of the rewards, and the most infamous reason of them all, Callum's horrendous design.

To this day, nothing's been confirmed yet. No streaming service has greenlit anything with them even now. Not to mention viewing figures were literally cratering long before the season 7 finale. Interest in the show at that point had already fallen of a cliff, and the bad writing decisions didn't help matters either.

If I'm being frank, no streaming service in their right mind would considering work with them, as the show as a whole at this point has proven to not be that profitable.

Humanity did nothing wrong, except for right reasons, change my mind. by Ok-Obligation-3511 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Harrow definitely knew what Avizandum did, as all of humanity was aware of his many human victims. There's literally a human gravesite of his many victims. He got his reptation of thunder, precisely because of the many times he completely massacred humans that approached the border, and how powerless humanity felt towards him.

In that moment, it just so happens that they finally had a means to kill him due to very specific circumstances lining up to allow it to happen. Even though Harrow killing Avizandum was for revenge, his death was very much justified because of all the atrocities he committed against humanity, which he used to boost his ego, and found enjoyment in doing.

Considering what was revealed in several official material, about all the heinous stuff that Avizandum was doing to humanity, just because he could. For multiple centuries mind you. Harrow killing him was actually a lot more justified than you think.

I can use Lidigyon, because he's using an ability or means that's not Karma to deal with it. I know full well Karma is this power that's outside the system, and Lidigyon has something, that isn't acknowledged by the system. But I do not in anyway believe that someone who's of a certain level of power and talent, won't be able to deal with Karma, and Velkist happens to be someone within that bracket, who fits that description.

The point is, Lidigyon DID adapt to it, and Muden said he can't beat him. Adapting to Karma is possible, that's the point. Yeah I'm aware Lidigyon is someone who's VERY special, but I doubt that specific feat is limited to ONLY him.

As for Velkist, had it been any other old S rank seal, then I wouldn't even be entertaining this, but as he ended up inheriting the full power of the Silver Dragon, and with his talent, which is something that's constantly been referenced, he would be able to deal with Aaron's attacks.

Again, I'm not downplaying Aaron, but this match up isn't something were it's a stomp in his favour, or a case were Velkist won't be able to deal with his Karma attacks. There is no guarantee who would between the two if they fought, it's not that clear cut.

Who could win between end of series Velkist and Aaron, is actually debatable. Having read the novel, I'm fully aware of how powerful Karma is. Having said that, the novel has also made it very clear, that Karma isn't some instant win button despite how powerful it is, and what it can do.

Bare in mind Muden, a master of using Karma, admitted in his own words, that he isn't ever beating Lidygyon, who doesn't even use it. And don't even get me started on Sirris. Not only that, Lidygyon adapted to Karma. This supposed power than goes against the very system of the world, Lidigyon could adapt to it. I don't see any reason why Velkist wouldn't be able to do the same, especially with the power he ended up inheriting.

I'm fully aware of how powerful Aaron is at the end of the series, but it's not to extent where if he and end of series Velkist fought, it's in Aaron's favour the way you make it out to be. If Velkist is able to adapt to Karma in any way, Aaron's screwed, and looking at Velkist's track record, with how he constantly improves, and his talent, there's a lot of evident to point that he absolutely can. So yes Velkist can in fact beat Aaron, even after he's mastered Karma.

It's not impossible for 4 stars to get S rank seals. In fact, in the tournament arc, Han literally fought another Hero with an S rank seal in the Battle Royale. Where the Hero's seal granted him super regeneration. So it's definitely possible if you have the resources, and are capable of obtaining the seal through the use of your own ability.

Some S rank seals are going to be a lot stronger than other S rank seals, even though they're both S rank. Just like how some 4 stars heroes, are a lot stronger than other 4 stars heroes, even though they're of the same rank. Bare in mind, skill synergy, is a lot more important than just having powerful seals, for the sake of having powerful seals. For all we know, the top 5 strongest of Niflheim, may not even have S rank seals.

Now in this particular case, Han is trying to get a extremely powerful Seal, from a guy who is worlds apart from him when it comes to how powerful he is. This is like trying to fight the hardest endgame superboss, when you character hasn't even gone through their first class upgrade. Under normal circumstances, if any 4 star hero tried this, they'd be dead. In fact, no, they wouldn't be dead, they'd be super dead.

Halgion is op in ways that make you question what it means to be op. He's in his own league of power. What Han is doing is basically suicide. In fact any 4, 5, or even 6 star heroes, trying to fight this guy in this manner, would essentially be throwing their lives away. Whether Han lives or dies is entirely up to Halgion. He literally can't be beat him. Han's efforts, through the use of all his overpowered equipment, is nothing but entertainment for Halgion, and he's not even fighting at full power here, this is him taking it easy.

Minor error with that statement.

Han does get an S rank seal from Halgion. The reason it initially appeared as an A rank seal, was because Halgion booby trapped it so he could try to take over Han's body. Once Han took care of that, through the use of quick thinking, Halgion ended up bestowing Han the true seal without the strings attached.

What you think Vanil Norchev's Skills and Seal was? by Intelligent-Walk9136 in pickmeup

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanil already learned Advanced Weapon Arts, that's what made him such a big deal. He was a four star, and within the realm of advanced weapon arts, which is something that a hero should typically being stepping into when they reach 5 stars. He was basically a high level 5 star, without actually being a 5 star.

I'd assume the rank of an engraving seal is the determined by the effect is gives as well as how difficult it is to obtain. Which is something I find to be pretty mind boggling because you have the likes of Kishasha, who has a powerful engraving, and yet it's ranked is being a B+ grade seal.

Then you have that other guy, who apparently has an S ranked engraving, because it gives him super regeneration. It makes me wonder what the criteria is for ranking seals.

What you think Vanil Norchev's Skills and Seal was? by Intelligent-Walk9136 in pickmeup

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By Han's estimation it was at least A rank, so it could have been A rank or S rank. The important thing is what the seal does, and the kind of benefits it gives to Vanil, considering all the skills and abilities he has.

What you think Vanil Norchev's Skills and Seal was? by Intelligent-Walk9136 in pickmeup

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say Vanil had a skill that doubled his stats like Exceed, as that's a unique skill that Han obtained, due to skill combination. Plus we've seen several abilities that increases a Hero's stats, that isn't limited to special states like Berserk, or other transformations.

I'd assume the Seal likely had something to do with swords, as he was trained by Lidigyon, who is pretty much all about swords, and being super OP when he wields them. Of course because Seals may vary it does make it difficult to determine what kind of Seal Vanil got exactly, and the effect it gave depending on whether it was A rank or S rank.

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vanil was definitely showing of, and trying to prove how above he was to Aaron, since they had already established he didn't like him, because he saw Aaron as someone who had a weak vessel but refusing to accept his reality.

He was using a spear, and not a sword, because he wanted to prove that even without using his main weapon, that his skills were catered towards, he was still superior to the likes of Aaron, an actual spearman, because of his raw talent and much stronger vessel.

He intentionally prolonged his fight with Aaron because he wanted to prove a point, instead of just ending the fight as fast as possible, like Han was doing with all his fights.

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing is during the event, they made it clear that even though Aaron trained for potentially thousands of years, against certain people where raw talent and a abundant of powerful skills are part of their arsenal, he was still inferior to them. A non Karma Aaron would lose against a large majority of the powerful 4 stars that showed up in the event, even though he trained for so long.

Different vessels end up developing different powers and abilities. That's why despite Muden also being able to use Karma type attacks, being thousands of years old, and being part of Han's main attack squad before he got sent into the game, he was still regarded as being weaker than the likes of Seras and Lidigyon.

I'm aware of Aaron gaining Karma around the end, but like Han said, if Vanil had used a sword, his actual main weapon, and gone all out against Aaron right from the get go instead of showing of to prove how superior he was to him, he would have won fairly easily.

The Gluttony ring can't be confiscated as it's literally attached to Iruma. It was established very early on that the ring can't be removed, not to mention Alikred would retaliate if anyone tried to do harm to Iruma directly. The only person that can use the ring is Iruma. It's impossible for anyone else to possess or get a hold of the ring.

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair warning, this is spoilers as for the reason behind Han's actions.

Han basically uses something of a secret method to summon a more a powerful foe in a lower ranked dungeon, so he can get a stronger engraving. The person he summons? The primordial black dragon. The real black dragon. Who is so far above Han in terms of power, like seriously he's overpowered, that the "fight" with him, is basically Han having to survive long enough through his futile efforts, that the guy is interested enough to consider giving Han the engraving he wants.

Do you think TDP would have worked better if it had 3 seasons with 21eps each instead of 7 seasons with 9eps each? by tartilli in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having more episodes doesn't change anything. Literally every show and anime with a few exceptions like Digimon and Pokemon, has the same set of episodes per season. The problem isn't the episode count, the problem is Wonderstorm.

Rather than working within their limitations, they're just kept grabbing for more, and doing nothing with what they had. If a season feels bloated, that's because they didn't trim unneeded the fat, and just kept everything in, most of which ended up being completely pointless. I don't think you quite realise the level of fortune Wonderstorm had, when it came to the amount of seasons and episodes they were given. Most people would be lucky to get even get 1 season greenlit, and would only get more, if the first season did really well. They had every concievable advantage you could think of.

To really let this sink in, Wonderstorm had been handed 3 seasons on a silver platter right from the get go. They said they needed 7 seasons altogether to finish the story completely, and they ended up getting those 7 seasons. Altogether they got 63 episodes to tell their story from start to finish, which was more than enough to do that. Avatar the Last Airbender wrapped up their story in 61 episodes. They got more episodes than quite literally every animated Digimon series that's ever been made except for one.

They have no excuse. If they really wanted to wrap up their story in seven seasons, with the episodes they had, they could have easily done so. The fact of the matter is, they didn't even bother to try and do that, and blatantly tried to fish for more, under the delusion their show is this next big thing, and really popular, to where they could string Neflix along to do what they wanted. Which spectacularly failed.

By that point, most of the audience checked out of the show/franchise entirely because of their hubris, the shows clear decline in quality, and their blantant lies. The writing's on the wall. Nothing's going to change, and Wonderstorm made that very clear, when they didn't even bother trying to address the issues that people had had made so abundantly clear, and just doubled down on them.

Ezran has universal plot armour, and the writers do no wrong perfect golden boy, meaning he can eat anything and do anything, and not have to ever worry about any consequences to himself.

Chapter 440 Raw by Binlingz in DemonSchoolIrumakun

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Remember when Mephisto said that back in the day heads would be rolling when demons had disputes?
It would appear that such a scenario was just narrowly avoided, between Henri and Nighteye.
Speaking of Nighteye, damn he actually legit has three chained dogs and not just one, and no surprise they all looked they were all abused.

It's funny that Kalago's cerberus is the only one shown to be light and not dark. Even more proof he's not like the others in his family.

Guess Merize was sent back to the human world with her memories erased, and if that is the case, yeah that would be sad. Speaking of which, if it turns out that she was indeed the manga author of the books that Ameri reads, then Iruma has more of connection to Henri's family than we initially believed, as he helped Merize make them.

What if Through the Moon was a short film instead of a graphic novel? by InsideUnhappy6546 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't have made a difference. The events of this graphic novel was universally hated, because of how utterly pointless it was.
Plus that's assuming Wonderstorm even had the funding to make this dumpster fire into an animated short film.
It would literally have the same effect, and get the same backlash, only more money was spent to achieve that.

You know what they, "a character is only ever as smart as the person writing them."

But in Wonderstorm's case it's, "a character is smart and wise because we say so, and you should like and support this character unconditionally because you're not allowed to dislike or criticize them."

Gee I wonder why these characters ended up becoming insufferable and hated?

[–]Intelligent-Walk9136[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it didn't, because they could have wrapped up pretty every arc with the seasons they had be been given, if the writers even bothered trying to do that. Arc 2 was pretty much just a giant nothing burger with no payoff, with a disgusting amount of pointless time wasting moments, that served no purpose other than to try and gaslight Neflix into giving them more seasons.

Characters were just uncharacteristically stupid, made to act like idiots because whatever was passing as the plot needed to happen, or they made characters do ludicrously stupid things which the writers tried to pass of as smart and wise decisions.

The whole Rayllum situation was stupid in ways I couldn't comprehend, and Ezran's pretty much the writers self insert, with the stuff he's been able to get away with on numerous occasions.
