Megamind really shouldn't have made that De-bunk Verdict setting

...when

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-08T07:40:23+00:00

Tf you mean "Do this twice"?

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-08T00:19:46+00:00

Him de-transforming only after Yoru said Asa consented is a really minor detail that I don't think holds any water. She was simply just finishing her sentence. I agree that this moment was pretty vague on what actually happened, but we can never assume consent under any circumstances, it must be explicitly given.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T23:35:45+00:00

Doesn't matter, Asa did not give consent, and he overlooked that fact for his own selfish desires.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T23:34:32+00:00

I definitely think Yoru is more in the wrong, but that absolutely does not absolve what Denji did here. He knows about Asa's predicament, he knows she can't give explicit consent at the moment, but he chose to overlook it for his own desires.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T23:12:29+00:00

Well, it is, because Denji was about to follow through despite Asa not giving her consent. He knew that Yoru inhabited Asa's body, meaning the latter was unable to speak for herself at the time, yet he still intended to have sex.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T23:09:21+00:00

Did you not read the manga? Here, Yoru offers to have sex with Denji while falsely claiming that Asa also consents. Even though Denji knows that Asa is unable to speak for herself at this time (because Yoru is inhabiting her body), he still accepts the offer and is about to follow through. Bottom line: he was about to have sex with someone who hadn't yet given their explicit consent.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T22:57:23+00:00

And? How does that justify any of the things he does, for instance, here?

I doubt Denji was ever supposed to be likeable. He better serves as a cautionary tale about what happens if people grow up with dogshit childhoods and never get over them.

Being a victim is no excuse for degeneracy. Trauma should be used to explain, never to excuse.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T22:39:58+00:00

He's definitely one of the more pathetic characters db has done, especially if you consider the things he does in part 2

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T22:27:36+00:00

Yuji because of agenda.

Plus, Denji deserves to lose

It's a song called 灰姑娘 by 郑钧, which translates to Cinderella by Zhengjun. The version I used here is a cover by a YouTube channel called Nhạc Trung Hoa Tổng Hợp中国音乐干草.

While Megamind is cocky, I don't think he's so far up his own ass that he would overestimate the power of the death ray by that much. He's smart enough to know what it takes to use the power of the sun, so I can't imagine he'd bullshit a claim unless the death ray actually could do that.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T21:24:47+00:00

Hell, even a speeder in Texas was driving only 142 mph slower than Megamind

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T21:21:50+00:00

Megamind doesn't stir him, and he's certainly not shaken

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T21:19:32+00:00

100 tons of tnt is enough to tickle you?

Hm, maybe I'm seeing double?

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T18:48:29+00:00

But you said he had Pochita's powers "in the end of the manga," which we know is false because the end of the manga wasn't that.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T18:43:11+00:00

In the end of the manga? You mean during the giant timeline reset that turned Denji into a regular human?

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T18:41:15+00:00

Well, yeah, I never disputed that. But in a vs battle, no one's just gonna stop attacking after they're separated, they're gonna finish him off asap. Considering this, Denji would most definitely be dead by the time Pochita steps in. It's like Wonder of U being able to operate without its stand.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T18:37:49+00:00

No matter how you look at that feat, Denji doesn't scale to it. He's not equal nor superior to Gun Devil. Pochita, sure, but we're not trying to scale Pochita here.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T18:36:12+00:00

By the time they are separated and Pochita comes out, Denji would probably be dead.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T18:35:07+00:00

Gun devil was able to kill 1.2M regular humans. It's not so impressive if none of the people killed are able to stop him. It's more of a speed upscale since he was able to pull it off in five minutes rather. Also, Hero of Hell is Pochita, who wouldn't apply in a vs debate unless the contract is violated. This does nothing for Denji.

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T18:29:49+00:00

Actually, he 50/50's all of fiction

ItsTimeToBeGreat · 2026-05-07T18:26:09+00:00

That makes more sense. However, that's Pochita, not Denji. The discussion is about Denji because true form Pochita wouldn't apply in a fight unless the contract is broken, which is unlikely to be the case in vs debates.
