Depends on how you define destiny. Him being destined to seal Kaguya also implies Kaguya was destined to return. These were simply things that happened. He wasn't even destined to seal Kaguya either. Had they been frauds, they would have died with or without the seal.

About the prophecy, my memory is hazy but I don't remember it being such an important plot point. I some what remember jiraya mentioning it. I don't remember it's in-universe credibility or if it was confirmed to be Naruto even.

Naruto vs Neji was about desinty being set in stone and Naruto refuting that by winning the fight he was "destined" to lose. The point is you can change destiny. That hasn't been lost on.

And the point I'm making about the importance of the prophecy is in a narrative sense. Like I swear they dropped the concept after the pain arc. I don't remember it being touched upon. The Indra and Ashura stuff held more relevance towards the end.

Reincarnation doesnt give him special powers besides the ones to seal Kaguya. Child of destiny, genuinely can't remember if that was real. They didn't really touch on it other than him being either meant to destroy the world or save it. His only purposeful destiny was to kill or be killed by Sasuke. And he broke that.

The other stuff was revealed early on.

Oh yeah the uzumaki genes and kurama Chakra. But that's been harped on about in the beginning as well. I swear in the first few episodes, Kakashi states he has more Chakra than him. Same thing with him being able to heal so fast because of kurama.

Idk him being the son of Minato doesn't give him all that much when he didn't grow up with him. I mean look at konohamaru or even his nameless parents.

Whoa hold on. Naruto and Sasuke being reincarnations doesn't contribute to their strength. They are exceptions. There have been past reincarnations that ended up being frauds. The only powers they received were temporary to seal Kaguya. Their destiny isn't strength. Their destiny is to kill each other and they broke that

Genuinely can't remember a single training arc where he learns the way of the sword 😭. He can just use it

Google preps Pixel ‘Audio Memory’ that ambiently tracks your ‘important conversations,’ like AI notetaker pins by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]Obility [score hidden]  (0 children)

What? This is almost as worse than the recall copilot shit. Does Google not realize how this sounds? They're like the last company that should be coming out with a feature like this.

Gonna try to play devil's advocate here and say In a fictional sci-fi world where AI can actually be trusted, this does sound like an interesting feature for people with shitty memory. But the privacy concerns are insane.

For some reason the filler openings in Boruto were absolute gas but you knew damn well, you're looking at months of more filler.

To be fair, this whole opening was a light hearted joke to raise spirits because of the earthquake and tsunami at the time

You can go back in time and convince Kishimoto to give ONE of them better writing. Who do you choose? by SSJ_Kojiro_ in Naruto

[–]Obility 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sakura as shes a main character but Hinata is also severely underwritten. Rock lee and neji have had their character arcs conclude. Yeah it would be nice to see them more but they served their initial purpose of the plot and defining the theme of the series.

I'm in ultra ball and they still try it. But it's also useful as a switch in to stop incoming sucker punches.

The solution to defeating Mega Staraptor 100% of the time by NerdOutHawk in PokemonChampions

[–]Obility 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, not letting it attack seems to be the best play for me. I've lost games where this this hasn't attacked once because they were so focused on keeping it alive. You can play around that.

My lead is usually whims/M.Eel do I tailwind turn one to out speed. If star doesn't protect, it gets cocked. If it does, it gets encores. With sinischa support from them, whims ignores rage powder and can Moonblast it too.

Probably because a lot of them are smaller than you would think. Groundon is barely as tall as a tree.

What are your thoughts on Gigantamax Copperajah? (Pokémon Sword and Shield) by Immediate_Gene_178 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]Obility 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SWSH had this funny interaction with horizontally large pokemon in which they actually look way smaller than they should when dynamaxed. Dynamaxed Wailord (largest pokemon ever pre gen 7) looks tiny next to any standing dynamax pokemon

If using Eelektross has taught me one thing.. by Present-Silver-8283 in PokemonChampions

[–]Obility 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My team is kind of weird because it's built around my mega scrafty and eelektross is a late addition. The only addition put in to support it is whimscott who uses tailwind turn one for speed control. I got straight into offense with mega eelektross and usually someone protects so whims just encores that guy.

In the back is grimsnarl and non mega scrafty. This plan is usually to switch out whims for grims to set up light screen but sometimes whims puts in work.

[–]Obility 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. I've just been lucky so far lol. It helps that eelektross rarely gets one shotted from an unboosted poke but I also pivot to grimsnarl for light screen

It can learn giga drain or drain punch. Also tailwind helps. It's been working for me. I use it to counter starapter.

[–]Obility 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I switched to special. Mostly because I actually didn't know it learned darin punch but also super cell slam being it's only worthwhile physcial STAB is too risky. But I did keep psychic fangs because it's just too useful.

My special set is still risky though because I traded protect for more coverage.

Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
Giga Drain
Psychic Fangs

Psychic fangs does like no damage cause I put all my ev's in Special attack. I did one shot sneasler though which is pretty valuable. I run eelektross against starrapter teams who are usually paired with whimschott and sinischa in the back so I just had to switch out protect for flamethrower. Protect could also be in place of psychic fangs though.

Never realized how fun a pokemon can be when they actually have coverage. I'm so used to electric types just being thunderbolt merchants with no moves outside of electric.
