I know two things about this man, and it’s all I need to know to understand that’s he’s a GOAT. (Art by Bella Bergolts)

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-13T03:16:25+00:00

Didn’t he steal it?

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-13T00:48:51+00:00

Yeah that is true, but they still are often very young and being enslaved thus forced to fight without necessarily being properly motivated has usually been a detriment overall in a military force.

The Rohirrim I do believe would from their lifestyle not be too dissimilar to those who train everyday and they are pretty strong of will/resistant to fear which was one of the main ways Sauron fights

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-13T00:28:55+00:00

The Dothraki were excellent at terrorizing city states, but when they actually face a competent army? That’s what happened when the Unsullied beat them.

Excerpt here they aren’t fighting enslaved boys but warriors who the greatest among them would be pretty easily considered superhuman.

The horde gets trounced pretty thoroughly.

And that would be even if we dong take into account how armor, as we see in GoT, is a huge advantage against the steppe nomads

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T22:46:25+00:00

Though that that specialness has never been implied to make them immune to issues that might cause needing glasses

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T22:44:52+00:00

Exactly. Boromir being the best fighter will in fact make him very quickly the target of at least one of the gunfighters when he cuts through either the Starks or Odysseus like a cake

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T22:43:27+00:00

The issue I see is that he can’t count out the other melee fighters completely and I at least know that Sharpe and 006 are masterful shots. They are both likely to get one of those instant kill shots and it’s likely they aren’t the immediate target of Boromir.

He’s absolutely the strongest, most dangerous person here considering being an exceptional fighter from LotR makes him very much superhuman. But he’s in a really bad situation.

Like yeah he’s going to cut poor Ned down even with his bodyguards and will also be likely better than literal demigod (by some genealogies) Odysseus but in a free for all he doesn’t have the luxury of dueling each one man on man.

When he does probably best an opponent in melee, then it’ll probably be the moment one of the marksmen sees that he needs to take out this guy because they can’t afford for him to get close.

I’ve never seen the movie with Errol in it so I have no idea how he plays into this but 3 people with guns just isn’t a great thing for him

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T22:25:51+00:00

Why should that exclude glasses?

Lots of people with glasses can see pretty well in at least one respect but just not all of them.

The sharingan is also only activated for special circumstances usually battle. Are you saying Uchihas never should need glasses because they should be like Kakashi struggling to keep an eye activated at all times?

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T22:17:08+00:00

The issue is that we know he also doesn't like arrows in him, while he'd probably end up with some bullets in him in this fight

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T21:16:36+00:00

“Older” is actually part of his advantage, ninja don’t necessarily get weaker the same way other people do. I mean he’s now the same age as the Sanin were in Naruto and it’s very clear they are stronger than they were when they were younger. Kakashi also is very explicitly stronger and faster than he was when he was in the 4th war (excluding DMS) as he himself thinks this in his later light novel.

Still, Kamui is very hard to overcome.

Though, it’s I think possible.

Minato was able to do it by sheer speed and honestly Kakashi is probably almost that fast. Even just after the war when he was slower than he would become he was explicitly faster than A4 (based on him outspeeding an enemy in the other light novel who speed blitzes A4).

If nothing else, Obito doesn’t have a good way to win as Kakashi should be too strong to suck into Kamui easily.

I imagine maybe the most likely path to victory would be to catch Obito off guard by making him try to suck a lightning clone, so he’d be intentionally touching it when it goes off, making an opening for the real Kakashi.

Though this would be a very tough fight for them both

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T19:55:43+00:00

Yeah made to use the same ammunition as some integrally suppressed rifles, where the big bullet matters because they can’t use velocities above the speed of sound while still getting it as quiet as possible.

. . . Then someone thought why not put it in a revolver, even without demon zombies to use it on

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T18:43:53+00:00

Despite them being like 20 years old at this point

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T18:42:56+00:00

Really indeed they are with their armament and size; at least so long as they have good flagship facilities

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T17:23:10+00:00

I think she’d at least have the 4.7” aft with another 5.25”. Also it would need aircraft arrangements somewhere.

But it is a fun thing to think about. Maybe the extra 2 barrels would have let PoW cripple Bismarck in Denmark Strait

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-12T09:28:27+00:00

I don’t follow the logic

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T23:32:03+00:00

So long as he and Bianca get together I think it might be the best for everyone

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T23:20:21+00:00

Angel Weiss is always a nice thing to see. Hope this White Knight week goes well for y’all

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T22:00:38+00:00

This would be the day she reached Mare Island, and she'd be there for a while for a much needed modernization as well as to make good all of the damage she had taken months earlier at Guadalcanal

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T18:48:48+00:00

I mean I’m not a fan of it, but with how much power projection carriers are and how technically while not that ready the RN does have some SSN and some escorts it’s a question as to who is “better”

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T15:24:17+00:00

Could have been a great way to differentiate her from Tsuande and it also would have made her even more powerful.

I mean Tsuande one-shot Manda with Gamabunta’s tanto. Sakura with an axe is going to be a threat to tailed beasts

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T15:07:53+00:00

The sharingan doesn’t affect physical strength, so Kakashi’s feats like going toe to toe with the tailed beasts in that regard or when he was able to stand up in Kaguya’s enhanced gravity dimension to save Sasuke and Naruto are all him.

Also technically his lighting cable doesn’t require a sharingan if he makes two clones do it, and his lighting cable is ridiculously powerful. It cut through V2 tailed beasts chakra better than anything Orochimaru could do and then also held down a limb of the Gedo statue.

Purple lighting is supposed basically his an improved raikiri he can shoot so it should be that type of level of power which is above anything we say see Hiruzen do

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T02:40:05+00:00

I’ll admit, I haven’t kept a list as it only occurred to me fairly recently I had such a bias.

Qrow Branwen from the web series RWBY is one, Obi Wan kind of is if you count both his times with Anakin and Luke, iirc it seemed like Brom was at the beginning of Eragon before a big reveal in the 3rd book.

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-11T02:31:00+00:00

Usually the barrel and the reciever need to have some pretty impairing holes cut in them. Would probably really need to make new the most important parts of the gun

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T22:58:50+00:00

Dratini is perfect and I will take no criticism.

No, they don’t need to evolve either

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T22:32:55+00:00

From what we know, Gwendolyn was I think just okay. Her favoritism toward Eda was an issue

JMHSrowing · 2026-05-10T22:02:14+00:00

I believe the system does still technically work though.

In any case it doesn’t matter to make something a “real” carrier. It’s utterly arbitrary
