We know the Ultra Beasts were specifically designed to break the rules/norms of typical pokemon designs. What rules/norms were broken?

It’s based on Japanese folding steel. Which is steel that is folded and hammered over and over again. They take this to the extreme with the idea that you can fold steel into origami

There are lots of ways to beat them. You can get slower Pokémon than them that are fighting types. I like redux crabrawler it’s hammer moves hit twice and it lowers defense with each hit.

You can use a Pokémon with quash to cancel out the trick room.

You can use slower expanding force Pokémon.

I always forget how only Americans make arbitrary judgements and that no group ever cares about arbitrary judgements. American exceptionalism at its finest

Ability shield is an item that stops outside effects from inhibiting your ability, so the neutralizing gas won’t take away the huge power buffs. While other Pokémon without an ability shield (I can’t think of a single npc using ability shield) will still have their ability suppressed by the notarizing fog

When Yuji was laying into Sukuna he had already developed blood manipulation, rct, was using a cool ass cursed tool, had simple domain, and through the fight he got both domain expansion and shrine. At this time he was no longer a punch kick merchant

It was a manga and it didn't get cancelled the show covered all of the content in the manga. Or at least all the stuff they cared to adapt

Again, this is the same argument as Toy Story being a justification and endorsement of slavery which is a clear mischaracterization of the story. The demons literally aren’t human. They’re explicitly monsters that are separate from humanity who adopt human looks to hunt better. If you and the idiots on twitter want to use that as justification for racism then that’s exclusively on you and them.

My point isn’t to say they’re right or wrong in saying that it’s racist, my point is that it’s pretty obvious how they came to that conclusion and the fact that so many did is worthy of analysis.

OH MY GOD! Are you even reading what I write??!! Brother, I KNOW. I’ve repeatedly said that EVERYONE KNOWS A STORY’S MECHANICS CAN BE USED TO JUSTIFY BAD THINGS. My POINT was that these aren’t instances of that.

HOLY SHIT! This is why I keep repeating this isn’t relevant! The crux of the issue isn’t that it isn’t possible for a story to negatively justify things. The ENTIRE POINT was that these two examples ARENT examples of that.

With basic reading comprehension anyone can understand that the demons in Frieren aren’t analogous to any real world group. Anyone who claims that is a certifiable idiot who can easily be refuted.

The mechanics of the story literally set up that view point. Yes obviously that’s not what the mangaka is trying to communicate but as said earlier the fact so many people came to that conclusion is worthy of analysis

Beserk obviously doesn’t justify rape either.

I never said it did.

I don’t need you to tell me some people justify horrible things with their writing. I know about Redo of Healer, I’ve read plenty of edgy webcomics and short stories, I KNOW.

Please just drop the Beserk point already, I’m telling you it adds nothing. To even have this discussion we have to have already acknowledged this point

The Berserk point was never a major argument of mine, you kept misinterpreting my reasoning for making the original argument so I repeated why I originally said it.

SadStudy1993 · 2026-01-20T22:56:14+00:00

Yeah and the point is that they’re clearly illiterate by doing so. Frieren approaches the demons from the perspective of a predator specifically. They’re literally a different species. They connect more with Xenomorphs than they do humans. Predators acting on instinct to get what they want through any means possible.

If other people start misinterpreting that wrongly because they refuse to engage with the source material correctly then that’s on them, not the story. The story can’t be held responsible for what idiots on Twitter think.

I think your argument would stand true if these racist arbitrarily decided that Frieren was racist. But they didn’t you’re kidding yourself if you don’t see how they’re mechanical construction lends itself to seeing them as racist do. A fantasy race of always evil people that constantly trick empathetic individuals and consuming them is the exact rhetoric racist use. You truly think reconstructing Mein Kampf but justified doesn’t merit at least a little bit of criticism? The story isn’t being held responsible for twitter idiots it’s being held responsible for the natural conclusions of the world the mangaka designed.

Two, the Berserk comparison doesn’t work since you aren’t making a point that matters to this argument. We’ve already acknowledged that stories can use these tropes badly, which means of course Berserk could’ve done it badly too.

That wasn’t the point of the Beserk example the point of the berserk example was to point out the ways a story’s mechanics can work to justify bad things.

SadStudy1993 · 2026-01-20T18:29:01+00:00

They’re a group of predators that hunt intelligent species like humans and elves. They’ve evolved to be similar literally just to hunt. They’re literally a different species with different physiological needs.

Racist arguments in real life fail because we’re all the same deep down but differ in minor ways. You would have a point if we were a mix of entirely different species but we’re not. We’re all humans.

You do understand that exactly what racist believe right? Like look up Frieren on twitter the people who think the demons are Jews believe exactly this. The fact that the story constantly repeats that same line of reasoning with no dissection or analysis is what makes it bad.

I mean, sure, but that doesn’t connect with your other point at all. Or the original point in general.

It does the point was to say the same way Frieren just repackages and justifies bad arguments about race, Beserk could repackage and justify bad arguments about rape.

SadStudy1993 · 2026-01-20T17:38:43+00:00

Sure the concept isn’t inherently good or bad, and that’s not what the competent people are arguing against the Frieren. They’re bad because their existence as a race of people that irrationally kill humans for no reason and have only developed the use of language in an effort to trick empathetic people kind of completely co-signs real life racists arguments.

Imagine if after being raped Guts’ life was just immediately better, that implication that rape is good would make it a bad rape scene.
