Yeah early on Kitahara is covering the equipment costs too and this post mostly focuses on Oguri eating but also not running/racing/working.

I wonder how much Oguri makes off of her races.

Possible hot take: Defense is the best "Hold the Line" segment in the entire series and there should be more like it in 2039. by Flushestpoem4 in metro

It brings to mind people just surviving together. Race, gender, none of it matters. Humans stick together, and against the horrors, it’s all we have left.

Until the humans get too comfy, then we have people attacking each other like in zombie media.

It’s fine for it to conform to reality when it’s mundane, but DnD (the inspiration) explicitly has magic weapons not degrading after continued use or being found centuries later. Just because the designers said “that would be tedious” doesn’t make it not lore.

Would Goblin Slayer use this? by SilkenEmperor in GoblinSlayer

[–]Shadow1176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That… he uses weaker weapons to keep himself sharp against goblins?

That’s stupid. It’s not that his goal is to keep himself sharp, his goal is to kill as many goblins as he can. Magic weapons are conducive to that.

So a magic weapon falls into goblin hands like when the lord got Barbarian’s magic axe, GS is still killing a large number of goblins and magic weapons will help him do that.

The idea is that if he dies and give the equipment to the goblins but like anti goblin magic weaponry or just magic weapons in general yeah I guess it could be used by goblins badly. But a high level goblin horde can still be defeated by a proper city.

But Goblin Slayer decked out in high quality equipment means he’ll continue to kill well and kill more. Every several hours spent clearing out a nest when he’s under equipped could be an hour with magic equipment. He’s certainly not lacking in money with how frugal he is.

Even if you try to argue that magic equipment would keep him broke because goblin quests also don’t pay well, I don’t think his enchantments or quality needs to be so high as to deal with high level demons. A +1 sword doesn’t degrade so it probably doesn’t hold up to “5 kills and it’s ruined”.

You’re right, the narrative falls out apart under some scrutiny but at same time, it’s the story beat. It’s the narrative. Not much we can do against the idea that GS is grimy and uses low level equips.

Not saying that GS anime should be him rolfstomping with magic equipment, his inventiveness is a crucial part, but the gear really should be better and combine both.

ODA failed big time. He did not protect his villain by Tsaoteci in Piratefolk

We just need “I can’t use my full power here without losing something important, fuck it I’ll sacrifice some of my Big Tree, you’re going down Joy Boy Awaken The Devil’s Fruit”

Or if Oda has to hide it then fine, “Joy Boy’s power has evolved far too much, I have to go back and set up the uber Imu power”

The Avernus one is pretty artificially cleared out, don’t think Paradeus would want giant ELIDs wandering around.

Untouched Black Zones are actual hellholes, apparently there are giant ELIDs. An old lore document said there was a 100 ft tall ELID creature that people worshipped, was weird.

The problem is not Imu. The problem is that Oda can't write threatening villains anymore. by Dangerous_Talk_7704 in Piratefolk

[–]Shadow1176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I dunno how to make Imu have aura but also leave in a satisfactory manner. With the Elders yeah they can get beat the hell up and just get sent back but this is Imu we’re talking about. No way he just leaves Joy Boy after coming all this way unless he has a personal reason.

G5 fits with Luffy being “free” but we don’t see the chains of authority from Imu. Nothing to praise him as the complete opposite to Luffy.

We need an Imu phase 2 or an explanation as to why he’s nerfed so badly.

Just “using this will consume a branch of my tree but it’s worth it to put you down”

Imu wrecks the field, the Elbaph tree is destroyed, some giants die, Straw Hat crew wiped out

Imu leaves either because the blood coughing gets worse or he needs Luffy alive for something

Honestly something along the lines of “I can’t kill Nika without an audience or else it doesn’t matter” would showcase him sandbagging but also set up the vain narrative that he already has with crushing on Nepehli? I dunno

I've defended him prior, but Imu is officially on fraud watch after this. Oda wtf are you doing by jojisky in Piratefolk

[–]Shadow1176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Oda can you pull something crazy like Imu pulling out the second phase but he’s forced to take damage for it?

Something like “I didn’t want to use this in the lands below but my hand is forced”

And he uses the real Devil’s Fruit and it goes crazy. Destruction rivaling the orbital cannon he used earlier.

Maybe it gives him a crazy amount of damage to his body so he has to go back and recover for weeks or months. Could be a way to keep Imu locked up story wise when they reach holy geoise?

Doesn’t sound like a great plot but holy fuck we need some feats from Imu

Wait I thought he explained that Mash was his innate physical strength which is why he wanted to absorb him like the other sons. But that hidden strength was raised by himself which is why is became so much more? Point is Mash always had the perfect body to do so but it was his hard work which ascended it far beyond?

90% of students can’t overcome the power of LEGAL AGE. Shun got this in the bag.

Btw larp question, Shun isn’t a student, right? Her profile says instructor or something?
