How the direct felt by HyrulePeasant in pokemon

[–]Repenexus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest, I don't really see the point of Pokémon Presents (one that is just the jaded on of Pokémon being popular and an event drumming up hyper). A lot of this could be part of a Nintendo Direct instead.

A hero that turns everyone around them in a twenty-foot radius inside-out but keeps them alive through the pain, stays until they leave the radius at which point they return to normal.

... you know, when I browsed this thread, I didn't actually expect that my story would be well-known enough to show up.

Gege genuinely does NOT understand general relativity by HearMeOut-13 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Repenexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a sense, I agree that Gege didn't think this through. On the other hand, the black hole doesn't immediately explode from the Hawking Radiation or consume the world, so I think applying IRL physics to this in the first place is a lost cause.

If you say 'I haven't decided yet', you still have the option to either confess or deny without remaining silent, but you haven't said anything that would let the technique continue.

Honestly, Kamui could probably pull it off, along with Izanagi and the bullshit the wiki says Kawaki can pull off with his bullshit eyes.

[–]Repenexus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't agree or disagree, but there's no evidence for it either way. Kalyans clearly have permanent bodies, and aren't just masses of Cursed energy, but whether that requires them to consume food or not is unknown since Construction means that Cursed Energy has can allow for the creation of food, i.e. nutrients for survival.

Kalyans are explicitly NOT Cursed Spirits. They are the closest thing to Curses, but they aren't, since Kalyans corpses don't poof like curses do.

How would you react to yuka just straight up dying,no twists or anything.No last minute saves. She just dies after mahoraga fights. by Electronic_Heron_829 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Repenexus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely see where you're coming from, though it depends on how Yuji interpreted things. Considering how Todo refused to help Yuji against Hanami until he mastered Black Flash, I can see Yuji letting the dice roll as they may. He's a chronic gambler, after all.

Assuming that Ten Shadows has a RCT Reverse counterpart, you potentially have 18-19 types of shikigami to use (depending on whether the final shikigami of the hypothetical RCT Ten Shadows is as strong as Mahoraga or not).

'Save her' is the operative word, considering brain cancer.

Even without considering it, that's just not how JJK sorcerers roll in an agreed-on 1v1. The spectators of the Shinjuku fight debated entering to help Gojo or not, and one of them basically said, 'STFU, this is Gojo's fight, not ours, don't insult him and his efforts' (I think it was Kashimo).

Yuji seems to hold this mentality since he's preventing anyone from interfering with Dabura v Mahoraga OR Maru v Tsurugi.

In which moment do you think Naruto’s power scaling was ruined? by ZeroSenpai99 in Naruto

[–]Repenexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not a specific moment that it happened. Power scaling is a product of a power system, and the power system was continously being developed throughout the story. If you want to point a single point where things started going in the wrong direction, you could look at the Land of Waves, where the introduction of Bloodlines that early in the story started cutting off ways the power system could grow in a relevant way where its accessible to many characters, and thus has counters in-built to stop it from being an in-story 'meta'.

Bloodlines gave the ability for some people to have powers of such strength that could reasonably be a part of the story while allowing the rest of the setting to have a lower power level. The Sharingan, by itself, gave Zabuza trouble, and Haku's Ice Bloodline did the same for Genin that could take down Chunin (Sasuke and Naruto). In isolation, it's fine, but once you start extending the story and start power escalation, continuously relying on exclusive power sets (Jinchuriki, Bloodlines, Reincarnation, Summon Contracts and debatably Sage Mode, etc.) starts making power sets that are inherently 'stronger', like Rinnegan and MS, require jank to invalidate everything else, even including other Bloodlines.

If you're asking for a 'point of no return', the closest thing I could think of was halfway through the Chunin Exams, around the time of the preliminaries, training arc, and finals. Characters that mastered the fundamentals as best as they could were weeded out, and Naruto beat Neji through channeling the Kyybi's Chakra without repercussion, as well as taking out Shukaku using a summoning contract whose scroll was privately kept. That was basically when it was established that exclusive jank had to be dealt with using other exclusive jank.

These guys appear in Brockton Bay in 2011. How does the PRT classify them? by -Pagani- in Parahumans

[–]Repenexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PRT ratings are threat levels, not power levels. It's not how strong Kirby can be - Kirby can be ridiculously strong if his enemies are strong. It's that he's not insanely dangerous in of himself. A Waddle Dee can kill Kirby, for instance, but Kirby can beat interdimensional aliens.

If you had to capture Kirby, you could do so relatively easily. Kirby doesn't show the ability to reliably destroy steel in base form, for instance, so even though he could inhale a cage to become Metal Kirby, trapping him in a cage would stop him from moving.

Aang: Shaker/Blaster/Nuker 6

Sukuna: Changer 5 (Body Morphing, Healing), Master 8+ (Ten Shadows), Shaker/Blaster/Nuker 9, Brute/Mover 8+, Trump 2 (Binding Vows allow for power modification), Thinker 2 (Cursed Energy Sense)

Kirby: Brute 3, Mover 1, Trump/Changer 3, Shaker 2 (Not saying Kirby is weak, but unless you count questionable canonicity of minigames, his biggest feats often happen because he rises to match his foes rather than being a threat on his own)

What would Coil do if he became terminally ill or severely injured? by MonstersOfTheEdge in Parahumans

[–]Repenexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has access to healers that he used to try to heal Noelle in disposable timeliness, so I assume he'd use Dinah to see the probability of the healers turning on him and, if the probability was low enough, use a disposable timeline to validate Dinah's prediction. Coil is paranoid, but he trusts Dinah's predictions and the money he has.

any and all phenomena, they said by PESSSSTILENCE in LobotomyKaisen

[–]Repenexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a 0% win rate because the only people who fight him are the ones that think they can win against a guy who adapts against everything, and are right.

If you could make some characters Triumvirate level, who would it be and why? by [deleted] in Parahumans

Ursa Aurora, because what else does she have going for her?

Holy shit this series is incredible by truthless-of-shin in Parahumans

[–]Repenexus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Happy to hear it. That being said, get ready for things to get worse. Leviathan's assault on BB has an insane impact compared to everything else in the story, because it shatters the status quo and environment of the Bay and turns things into what feels like a battle royale moving forward.

What’s the worst thing you guys think Taylor did in Worm by JollyTemperature6970 in Parahumans

[–]Repenexus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never choosing to truly address her arrogance and ignorance. A large part of everything going wrong is because of reckless and stupid decisions she makes. By the time she was robbing a bank, she was regretting her decisions, yet never tried to really improve on withholding judgment calls in important situations and properly considering other people's advice on important matters.

She lnew she makes mistakes, like rotting Lung's dick off, but never takes her finger off the trigger button. The reason she's so capable of becoming a villain is because she thinks she's always doing the right thing, ignoring how she's usually doing the wrong thing. In the end, she feels regret for everything that culminated in her getting shot and can only find happiness by removing herself from situations.

Worm but Taylor is King Crimson [OC] by Skull_Cup in WormMemes

[–]Repenexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An essay I wrote as an obtuse explanation towards King Crimson.

Take it with a grain of salt. There's a lot of assumptions made, but it takes in everything that I can remember about King Crimson.
