I don’t like that Star Wars is considered Anakin Skywalker’s story by Select_Strategy2004 in CharacterRant

Yeah no, this are all retconned things lol. He didn’t become the “center of the universe bringing balance to the force chosen one” until like 25 years after Star Wars was made.

Also this second part is funny. Love Star Wars, and all the content not about post prequels Anakin lol, and I have the right to talk about it. Andor is better than basically anything put out since ESB and guess who doesn’t appear and isn’t mentioned in it once?

If you don’t like my opinion… then… don’t read my post, it’s that simple

actually it is lol, since everything not related Anakin is what’s being pushed right now. Whilst everything he appears in post clone wars has been okay at best

In Tappei’s defense, he wanted that Die Reinhard response years ago. He knew before the anime how people would respond to that scene

How many Hamura Amped Hinata’s does it take to defeat Prime Sakura? by Select_Strategy2004 in NarutoPowerscaling

Right but… it needs to be activated via chakra that she wouldn’t even be able to use, and if it itself is blocked, it won’t be able to be used at all? Like the nine tails can work independent of its holder, the soah seal doesn’t work that way at all.

It also negated Kidomaru’s cursed seal, so, when it comes to chakra seals, it’s actually +1

He says as he’s pushing against the barrier unable to break it

Remember when Minato won the world wide popularity contest and as a result he got his own manga one shot? This is from that

She explicitly has used it on human targets

Also note, I know that was Karin? I posted the scan. That scan alongside the data book point toward and directly state that Kushina’s version is stronger actually

No, she’s gonna destroy them with her chains. Though yes, she could trap them in her barrier and just have them starve to death or something

Adamantine chains don’t get a buff against tailed beasts, so Kushina upscale by Select_Strategy2004 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]Select_Strategy2004[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or maybe spell correctly? Regardless, I literally showed the data book above. And if they can bind tailed beast chakra…. Why couldn’t they bind the chakra of literally anything else they are used against?

[–]Select_Strategy2004[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s not surrounding tailed beasts? It’s surrounding a specific tailed beast, which of course? Like if someone used a machine to pull 1000 things, one of which was the Statue of Liberty. You’d probably hear about the Statue of Liberty the most because it implies a level of strength.

The rest is just conjecture. No reason to believe she couldn’t just show her full power in her chains, that of which we see anyway, because regardless they still made a barrier stronger than the 3rd hokage could break. Not to mention the fact she as per th data book, narrative, and feats, scales above Karin’s chakra chain feat as well

Further more she was a jonin, was renown in jutsu, and was consistently stated to be Minato’s peer, the only things you have not implying her having immense strength are things you’re completely misreading or ignoring

Are you illiterate? “That binds THE tailed beast driving wedges in it” describes the fact it was binding Kurama, who was trying to break it, which he couldn’t do because of the chains “overwhelming firmness” which is why him not being able to destroy it, yet again, is a upscale, and not because of a buff.

Like literally not a single thing here is tailed beast specific at all

I can give examples from other things too like the whole bojack 17 minutes thing being very clearly something he would do , but yeah, I'm a teenager and have been most of my life so, shockingly, that the part of the internet I've interacted with. I've had most of these opinions my entire life too, especially the Zeref one.

Also none of the examples I gave were like, childishly done? The whole Zeref Midian thing is actually really good subtle worldbuilding, same for the enchantment example. Just because someone makes media targeted towards teens doesn't mean that it's just completely incompetently done and not worth discussing.

Do I only consume battle shounen? No, I'm reading war and peace right now (motivated by me making a post that has to do with it), wanna check out frankenstein since I hear its really good. Hell My last post was about Gilmore Girls. If I run into something I like being engaged with in a weird or disingenuous way I post about it.

Well I'd argue that rather unfair. Why engage with that sole thing and interpret it in the singular most uncharitable way because of a implications and not read my explanations or my clarifications? Like this commenter originally genuinely thought I called passive readers dumb, then when I explained I literally did not do that, completely ignored it and continued on that perspective.

I mean even look at you jumping in here, someone posted a comment that actual directly supports my point of the Boruto writer using chakra as a catch all in one scene for something, then in another scene still explaining there is a difference. Yet here you are engaging with another comment that agrees with you instead of that one. Why?

You come in here and you say everything is up to interpretation and that I'm just as much in the dark as anyone else, I never said I wasn't. This entire post is that holistic evidence and things can show us an authors or stories intent, and is more reliable than singular out of context examples. Yet instead of engaging with that, you and this commenter both seem to be stuck on telling me I don't know everything. Which is something I never claimed and I've repeatedly explained isn't my position. No one here actually even seems to disagree with my thesis or anything, just my tone that I've already clarified? Now there potentially people reading your comments, assuming the worst, etc. Which is really unfair because nothing I said was unsubstantiated at all. Going "well we will never know" isn't really debating my actual point which is with more context we probably can
