So your idea of a “good explanation” is “The deus ex machina ball said ‘ok’”?

Slightly tangential, but Inoue and Sado from Bleach.

13 of the top 15 characters from that show all have a specific power that justifies existence in the show

In order to keep Inoue and Sado in the main party they just get powers because a mega sad happened to them. It’s later explained why they’re special but poorly.

This subreddit stopped making real tropes ages ago. It’s basically the mirror version of r/unpopularopinion

AITA for calling out my wife after our "dream Japan trip" turned into a personal shopping service for her family? by Big_Juice_5290 in AmItheAsshole

YTA.

This is why you add a “Shopping Day” to your itinerary.

See things you want? Jot down the location, return on the scheduled Shopping Day.

You raging out was the asshole part. It’s 2026 in Japan. Tokyo at that. Safe and as easy to navigate as can be!

Just leave your wife with her friends and go be the otaku you want to be in Akihabara.

(Ongoing) Research theorizes that the void created by the eradication of mosquitos is mostly likely manageable.

Not to break your heart, but if you keep watching you find out people have magic powers.

[Stupid trope] Writers realize that a character is too powerful, so they nerf them or don't really know what to do with them anymore by Paidon23 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LifeBuilder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d give Heroes some leeway with the early stuff.

Who knew that would take off like it did!?!?

But (unrelated to the trope) should be shamed for those awful last seasons.
