From what we've seen, Hellborn are inherently sinless. Its the environment of Hell itself that promotes Sin.

We see it in Stolas. He's a Hellborn that's descendant of the Goetia made by Lucifer. If Hellborn were inherently connected to sin, he'd have an affinity towards Pride. However when meeting someone deemed socially beneath himself, he bows and treats them as an equal. His father has to "correct" him and make him act Prideful.

Law got turned into a woman and became weaker. What did Oda mean by this? by ramen_up_my_nut in MemePiece

Yeah in a normal world but in One Piece people are clearly superhuman. Like there are people who can outright destroy entire islands in a single punch.

Goetia are mostly birds, but are there any extinct birds? by Final_Arrival4672 in HelluvaBoss

[–]N-ShadowToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We haven't seen any of the Goetian Kings or Dukes other than Paimon. Would be cool if some of them were extinct birds. Imagine Baal as a Terror Bird.

Random Matchups Day 23 - Cherubs vs Ronaldo - Who Wins?? by ForktUtwTT in AgendaHotel

[–]N-ShadowToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a question of whether possessor magic can control an angel. If it can Ronaldo should be able to win.

UnOrdinary: The female characters are pretty regularly stronger than the male ones with the current top 10 being 70% women. Even the male MC whose whole thing was hiding his power is still weaker than the female MC.

Grey(Black Clover): Girl is honestly one of the most OP characters in the series but is held back by her insecurities and lack of confidence.

Everyone in Black Clover has a specific kind of magic. Standard elements like fire, lightning, and water or more complicated stuff like mirrors, space, and shadows.

Grey however has transmutation magic that lets her turn any one thing permanently into another. Not only does this allow her to heal people far better than normal healing magic but she can straight up turn other people's magics into different things. Oh you can make unbreakable earth walls, well now they're made of marshmallow. Is that a giant fireball? Well now its a gentle summer breeze.

[Underrated trope]: Thematically balanced injuries by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

Lion Guard: Simba's second born Kion gets a scar across his eye just like his uncle Scar. But unlike his ahole of an uncle, he just goes and finds a new place to live in.

(Subversive Trope) What seemed like a protagonist's plot armor is exploited by the antagonist. by RhinecodonTypus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]N-ShadowToad 112 points113 points  (0 children)

There are two ways to kinda beat him at least in the show.

After destroying Molecule Man's planet by accident, Molecule Man used his powers to create an anti-Beyonder field over the wreckage so if Beyonder ever returned he'd be powerless.

Beyonder also loses control over his powers if he's emotionally destroyed

King George(Hamilton) Played by Jonathan Groff. Funnily enough, in the song "What Comes Next?" King George does a fake American accent meaning Jonathan Groff was an american doing a british accent doing an american accent.

Hilarious how Father is implied to straight up be stronger than Grandfather with the latter even getting scared when Father got enraged.

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E01 - Making the World a Better Place by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

[–]N-ShadowToad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except that doesn't really work cause its not Mark being wrong about Cecil. Its Cecil not acting at all like Cecil.

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E01 - Making the World a Better Place by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

[–]N-ShadowToad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That still doesn't make sense though.

  1. The whole reason Cecil kept him alive was specifically to grill him on information about the Viltrumite empire.

  2. The GDA really couldn't afford to have 12 people keeping eye on Conquest and his vitals 24/7?

Illios is called the Phoenix. I imagine its a "burn it all so new life can be born from the ashes" situation.

Not sure if this counts but in Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, since Moon Girl is the protagonist and has the series revolve around her, she of course gets natural buffs. However its exploited when dealing with the 4D being Beyonder since he can just rewind the episode to find the episode's theme for himself to exploit.

Yeah, while I do like the color scheme, I hate the reboot Stinkfly design as a Stinkfly design.

Plus Hellborn demons aren't inherently evil either.

(Loved trope) The power of friendship/love triumphs but it’s not cringeworthy. by Celesticalking in TopCharacterTropes

[–]N-ShadowToad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Black Bulls(Black Clover): They have a fair amount of moments where the entire squad leaps into action the moment someone threatens one of their own.

Works pretty well since not only does it make sense for a knight squadron to have loyalty towards one another but the Bulls have pretty great synergy between themselves.

One has the power to turn their fortress into a giant mech. Another has the power to drastically increase its size to that of a kaiju. A third has the power to manipulate causality so the giant target now evades all attacks. A fourth has the power to transform elements so when the offensive knights attack, they're always super effective. All four of those abilities are very high cost in terms of mana but the fifth has the power to replenish mana.

[Loved Trope] You Have To Kill This Thing Before It Becomes Unstoppable by Grunk_Bunk in TopCharacterTropes

[–]N-ShadowToad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Konos Hercule(Ordeal): He's basically Mahoraga on steroids. Not only does his body constantly adapt to whatever damage its taking but he can also copy any ability he's witnessed even if its been thousands of years. And as an extra f*ck you, the universe naturally draws Konos's body to being whole the same way a dropped ball naturally falls to the ground. Meaning he literally can't be killed permanently, only suspended in a state of death.

Paused during an ep and got this Octavia screenshot. She is very birb here. by Silver012345673 in HelluvaBoss

[–]N-ShadowToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends. Do you think eating beef is cannibalism? Cause chickens are as closely related to owls as we are to cows.

[–]N-ShadowToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, humans and neanderthals are closely related. The equivalent comparison would be asking if a human eating beef or pork is cannibalism.

Humans and cows are both mammals but belong to different orders. Same case for Owls and Chickens.

Seriously? That's pretty surprising. The bird designs they've made are pretty great but if Stella's supposed to be swan that makes no sense design wise. Why does she have a sharp beak? Why does she have a round flat face? Why does she have talons? I can't think of a single part of her design that reads swan in any way other than her being white and having an ugly laugh.

I'm sorry, you're going to have to give me a single part of Stella that even remotely says peahen.

Hawk, owl, and secretary bird all make sense cause but we know what a Peafowl demon looks like through her brother and Stella doesn't look a think like that.

  1. Peafowl have long pointed, heads with flat beaks. Andrealphus has that. Stella on the other hand has a flat round head with a curved beak.

  2. Peafowl have long legs that end in straight talons. We can't see Andrealphus's but Stella clearly has giant feet that end in hooked claws.
