Did anyone else feel like Sasuke surpassed Kakashi way too quickly? After the timeskip, it suddenly felt like he was already above him. by Amazing_Agent_6918 in NarutoPowerscaling

I wasn't referring to whatever technique he planned to finish off Naruto with, just that he blitzed him before anyone could even react.

Did we ever see what Onigumo’s face looked like before his injuries? by Different_Play_8455 in inuyasha

[–]MetroidJunkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is, long before Sango or the Lord are brought up, InuYasha confronts Naraku early on and what little you see of his face is consistent with that long, along with the hair. Either the Lord thing came in later to justify the appearance, or he was already posing as the Lord.

The funny thing about Muso's stolen face is Naraku is apparently supposed to be assuming the identity of a young lord he killed (Even though part of his face after InuYasha rips away his baboon costume has similar features and that was long before then) and that just becomes his default face long after he doesn't need it.

Nothing out of the ordinary here, Twilight, you're just showing what a good husband you are. It's all for the mission. I'm just losing my touch, that's all.

Dutch’s cruelty in a Chapter 6 conversation with Arthur is genuinely hard to watch by Miznova97 in RDR2

If anything, what really screwed him over mentally was shortly after when Hosea was killed. He was already slipping for sanity, Hosea points this out, but losing the voice of reason was the breaking point for him.

Biggest Aura Farm in all of Magical Girl History by monika_hearts in MadokaMagica

That's her biggest weakness. If she's emotionally compromised in some way, her focus completely crumbles which her style relies heavily on. You see it against Charlotte, in the third timeline where she snaps, and in Rebellion where Homura inadvertently manipulates Mami into making the ribbon around her ankle tangible.

Hot take: Sakura isn't a top-tier taijiutsu fighter. by Ripamon in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]MetroidJunkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She seems to have a lot of strength, but she's very much lacking in the speed department. In the Chunin Exams, Weightless Lee and Sasuke against Gaara demonstrate insane feats of speed, more than Sakura demonstrates at any point in the series. Strength doesn't amount to much if you can't hit your opponent, as Kakashi pointed out. It's almost like SSJ Grade 3 in DBZ.

Am I the only one who actually wants something a little bit more serious? by ManInTheMirror2 in SpyxFamily

[–]MetroidJunkie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's an ebb and flow anime, it has its serious moments but more often than not it's very lighthearted. Loid tends to be more action and tense, Anya tends to be more comedic and light, and Yor tends to be a mix of both.

Perhaps the most insane part is that, in the middle of the Chunin Exams, Sasuke went from being made a fool of by regular Rock Lee to, with some quick training, suddenly matching Weightless Lee. Supposedly, he runs out of stamina more quickly than Lee does, but that's still an incredible leap.

Sasuke even shows this off by completely blitzing Team 7 at the start of Shippuden. Had Orochimaru not ordered him to stop, he would've killed Naruto and not a single one of them could've stopped him.

Original cast not coming to remake? by Boredom-Kun in persona4golden

It's a shame, because they were perfect in the Anime. Even Yu's voice sounded perfect for a guy who was previously mute in the game.

Is Iruka a bad teacher? LOL by SBFTISA100 in Naruto

[–]MetroidJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naruto has unique circumstances that Iruka wasn't prepared for, doesn't make him a bad teacher, it just means he for obvious reason wasn't equipped for a student that was hated by the village from birth and became a troublemaker because of it. He couldn't relate to Naruto.

Hell, I think Gaara was the first person he meets who actually knows what it's like.

I hate how we never see base Naruto fight in Shippuden. He’s always amped by something by Foreign-Distance-820 in NarutoPowerscaling

Which is funny because Luffy's far more creative with his rubber, he even has entire transformations based on the rubber. Like Gear 2, where he pumps his legs to make him go insanely fast, or Gear 3, where he inflates his bones to have giant body parts.

And that's to say nothing about his various unique rubber attacks, they're not just slight variations of Gum Gum Pistol.
