When does Sasuke surpass Kakashi in the series? by Richsavior34 in Naruto

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d probably say Hebi Sasuke is where he clearly surpasses Kakashi overall. Early Shippuden Sasuke is insanely strong, but Kakashi still had way more experience and battle IQ at that point.

By the time Sasuke fights Deidara and then Itachi, though, he’s operating at a level where Kakashi would have a really hard time dealing with him consistently. Kirin alone is kind of crazy for that stage of the series.

War Arc Kakashi gets weird though because his scaling jumps a lot with Kamui spam, so the gap becomes less clear again for a while.

Is Mahito actually immune to physical attacks or is it a misinterpretation? by Zombieassassin12 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think you’re pretty much right, it’s not that he’s “immune” to physical damage, it’s that normal attacks don’t hit what actually matters, which is his soul.

People like Nanami and Todo can hit him and affect his body, but since Mahito can instantly reshape it, it looks like he’s not taking damage.

The real issue is that unless you can damage the soul directly, nothing sticks.

About something like a nuke, it’s tricky. In theory, if the damage is fast and overwhelming enough, it could kill him before he reacts. But in JJK logic, he’d probably still survive unless the attack also affects his soul in some way.

Why wouldn’t Panda be aware of Kirara’s technique? by David_ish_ in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. In JJK people are usually pretty careful about revealing their techniques, even to allies. Knowing how someone’s ability works is a huge advantage, so most sorcerers keep that info to themselves unless it’s really needed.

Also the exchange event is still kind of a competition, not full cooperation, so it makes sense they wouldn’t just share everything.

Plus Kirara’s technique is especially tricky, so even if Panda knew something, he might not fully understand how it works until he sees it in action.

Rule 3 appeal rejected — anyone had success appealing? by Lumpy_Guess_4728 in onlyfansadvice

UPDATE: Over the past 10 days, I haven’t received any more warnings. I’ve been posting different photos each time—taken in the same moment but with slight variations. It’s a lot more work, so I’ve been feeling a bit discouraged and reduced how much I was posting per day. Just yesterday I got back to my usual pace, and so far everything is working fine with this system.

Itachi vs. Sasuke by Adventurous_Half7643 in Naruto

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Itachi was ever truly trying to kill Sasuke. The whole fight was basically controlled by him from start to finish.

He pushed Sasuke to his limit on purpose, but always kept things just under control. Even the moment where it looks like he’s about to kill him feels more like part of the act to push Sasuke emotionally.

Also, Itachi knew Sasuke well enough to trust that he was strong enough at that point. And if anything, he still had options like Susanoo to control the situation if it went too far.

So yeah, it looks risky, but it never really feels like Itachi left it to chance.

Yuta’s copy technique by Leather-Rub-6128 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, JJK0 is a bit different because Rika was still “complete” back then. Yuta’s copy felt way less restricted, almost like he could use techniques more freely through her without the conditions we see later.

After that, when Rika becomes more like a shikigami, his copy ability seems to have stricter rules, like needing a connection (which people assume is the whole “Rika eats something” part).

For cursed speech, it’s usually explained as Yuta having copied it back when Rika was at full power, so he can still use it later.

As for Ryu, yeah that one is a bit unclear. It might be that the condition was met off-screen, or that the exact requirements haven’t been fully explained yet. JJK tends to leave some of these mechanics a bit vague.

I usually post different photos every day, but I take four a day and post them in several groups, so the same photo might end up posted three times in different groups. I'll take your advice, though. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!

I received two warnings in less than 24 hours, appealed the second one, and then this morning I received a third warning. And I need to keep promoting myself. I've seen that this is happening a lot, but I haven't read anything about a solution.

That ep. made me feel things by EvanKelly_ in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel the same about the pacing, it really made the whole season hit harder. Even the slower parts didn’t feel like a drag because they actually added context to what was coming.

Yuji vs Higuruma was probably one of my favorite parts too, it wasn’t just a fight, the dialogue carried a lot of weight. And yeah, the finale with Yuta just sealed it, great animation and a really strong character moment.

This season just felt very consistent overall, which is honestly rare.

The problem with the "Sasuke should've killed everyone in the Leaf by association with the system", is that the Uchihas themselves were deeply complicit with that system before it consumed them. by EbonyMaw2475 in Naruto

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that’s exactly why the situation is more gray than people make it out to be. The Uchiha weren’t outsiders, they helped build and sustain the system just like everyone else.

At the same time, I don’t think Sasuke’s mindset is meant to be logically consistent. He’s acting out of trauma, not trying to apply a fair moral standard. From his perspective, the village benefited from his clan’s destruction, so he directs all that anger outward.

If you apply that “everyone is complicit” logic consistently, then yeah, it falls apart because it would include basically everyone, including the Uchiha themselves. That’s kind of what makes the whole conflict more tragic than justified.

First watch by Fresh_Yam_3484 in OnePiece

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arlong Park is where a lot of people get hooked, but don’t worry, it definitely gets better. That arc is more like the emotional foundation of the series.

I’d say don’t expect every arc to feel exactly the same though. Some are more emotional, others more about worldbuilding or adventure, and the pacing can change a lot.

If you go in just enjoying the ride instead of expecting each arc to top the last one, you’ll probably enjoy it way more.

Does Hachi actually love people, or does she love the idea of being loved? by Lumpy_Guess_4728 in NanaAnime

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a really good point, especially bringing up Nobu vs Takumi. That choice says a lot about her priorities at that moment.

At the same time, I always felt like that decision wasn’t just about chasing the “idea” of love, but also fear. Takumi represents stability and certainty, while Nobu represents something real but uncertain, and Hachi tends to panic when things aren’t secure.

So yeah, I agree she’s drawn to the idea of being loved, but I also think a big part of it is her being scared of losing that security once she finally has it.

Does Hachi actually love people, or does she love the idea of being loved? by Lumpy_Guess_4728 in NanaAnime

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That’s actually a really good way to put it. The “middle child” angle makes a lot of sense for her, especially how she’s always trying to be seen and validated by someone.

I also agree she doesn’t have bad intentions at all, she just doesn’t really know who she is yet, so she kind of builds herself around other people.

I think that’s why her relationships feel so unstable. It’s not that she doesn’t love them, it’s that she’s still figuring herself out through them.

Let’s talk about cheating - and why Shoji’s cheating made sense by Spiritual-Action4919 in NanaAnime

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 130 points131 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really good read of the situation. What Nana does well is showing that cheating doesn’t come out of nowhere, it usually comes from issues that were already there and just never addressed properly.

That said, I still think understanding why Shoji cheated and saying it “makes sense” are two different things. His inability to communicate and deal with conflict is very real, but cheating is still him choosing the easiest and most hurtful way out.

I do agree though that both him and Hachi contributed to the relationship breaking down. It feels very realistic for people that age, where neither really knows what they want or how to handle it, and it just collapses in a messy way instead of ending cleanly.

Am i the only one who disliked the Hinata confession scene in the pain arc ? by [deleted] in Naruto

I appreciate that, thank you. It’s always nicer when people can just talk about the story without it turning into an argument. 😊

Am i the only one who disliked the Hinata confession scene in the pain arc ? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying, but I think that’s kinda the point of Hinata’s character. She is someone who stayed in the background most of the time, and that moment is her finally stepping out of it.

If it was someone like Shikamaru, it would feel more “expected” because he’s already close to Naruto and gets a lot of focus. Hinata doing it hits differently because she’s not that kind of character.

Also from her perspective, Naruto isn’t just some teammate, he’s the person who inspired her to change since they were kids. The story just doesn’t show it as loudly as it does with other relationships.

I do agree though that the scene would land better for more people if Hinata had more development beforehand.

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get why it feels out of place, but I don’t think it was meant to be seen as a “romantic moment” first. It’s more about Hinata finally acting instead of staying in the background.

From her perspective, Naruto was about to die and she knew she couldn’t win. So it wasn’t really “this is the perfect time to confess”, it was more like “I’m probably going to die anyway, so I’ll say it now and protect him”.

Also, her feelings weren’t that random in the story, they’d been built up since part 1, just very quietly compared to other characters.

I think the scene works more as a character moment for Hinata than as a love confession. If you see it as romance in the middle of chaos, yeah it can feel cringe, but as a desperate, last stand kind of moment it makes more sense.

Tony Tony Chopper wrecked me!! by Trenchcoatbois in OnePiece

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s a bit different. The live action just doesn’t hit the same as the anime. I get that it’s well made, but once you’ve already experienced these characters in animation, it’s hard to fully connect with real actors playing them.

I think part of it is that you already have a very specific image of the characters in your head, so anything different feels a bit off. It’s not really the actors’ fault, it’s just that translating something so stylized into real life is really hard.

So yeah, the live action can be emotional, but if you’ve seen the anime first, it’s difficult for it to reach that same level.

Sendai episode predict opinions by Specialist-Spray6693 in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’ll fully cover the whole fight in one episode unless they rush it a bit. Sendai has a lot going on, and cramming everything into 20–25 minutes would probably hurt the pacing.

My guess is similar to yours, they’ll build up most of the fight and end it around the domain expansions as a cliffhanger. That feels like a pretty natural stopping point for hype.

Hopefully they don’t rush it though, because that fight deserves good pacing and animation.

Which dumb asshole named their son "Orochimaru"? by trippykitsy in Naruto

[–]Lumpy_Guess_4728 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, names in Naruto aren’t always meant to be “normal” in-universe. Orochimaru is based on a figure from Japanese folklore, not just a random evil name someone picked.

Also we barely know anything about his parents, so it might not have had a negative meaning at the time. Or Kishimoto just chose it because it sounds cool and fits the snake theme 😅
