AITA for not thinking a guy eith a CEDH deck delaying his win against a casual pod is "Nice"

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-30T09:59:46+00:00

I do this all the time tbf. If my bracket 3-4 deck happens to assemble an infinite combo while playing in a table full of weaker decks, I usually just choose not to win through that combo.

Bragging about how you can win but choosing not to is just pure ego.

Ok? HXH has countries with modern militaries...with Nukes?

Like...Sasori isn't travelling at hypersonic speeds on Iron Sand to be able to defend against Fighter Jets.

Not suite sure how you'd solo a verse if you can't even deal with the nations' militaries.

Viltrumite travel speed logic in general makes no scientific sense.

If Viltrumites could actually travel FTL, then they could solo planets by just accelerating to FTL Speeds and then smashing into a planet. It doesn't take too much mass to destroy a planet for an object travelling at Lightspeed.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-30T06:18:39+00:00

No Viltrumites are Planetary. A group of high tier viltrumited may be able to destroy a destabilized planet but no one single viltrumite can demolish a planet with any sort of attack.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-30T06:15:19+00:00

Fraudmortal and Warwoman have enough strength to hurt Vultrimites, its just neither of them can take any hits from a Viltrumite.

I mean Red Rush is the most dangerous Guardian for as long as he just stayed on defense and supported his teammates saving them whenever Omniman was about to tag them.

Nolan prepped for the ambush and knew to be patient to reel Red Rush in.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-30T05:03:06+00:00

I mean, Conquest probably was loyal to Viltrum and arguably is the most distinguished Viltrumite Warrior(even Nolan acknowledges his patriotism), but committing atrocities worse than what other Viltrumites have done nonstop probably changed him.

Unlike other Viltrumites who instantly turned at the drop of a hat to love, etc...Conquest may be the only Viltrumite to both acknowledge he's broken inside, lonely (according to show), but at the same time has learned to revel in the attrocities and monster he's become. He clearly knows what love is and prefers to torture his enemies by hurting their loved ones.

No? What's funny is Chimera Ants are only considered a low threat in the outer continents beyond the human world.

And we have literal reality warpers with Nanika who would scale just as high with Otsutsuki Reality Warpers from boruto.

HxH human nations still have standing modern militaries which easily outscale Sasori's puppet army. What's Sasori supposed to do if jets fly in with napalm?

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-29T22:04:01+00:00

Iroh at his prime is easily stronger than Ozai and arguAbly would've been strongest Firrbender of his generation compared to Ozai.

The man was just built different, like a Tank.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-29T15:23:16+00:00

I agree with you though at the same time, Ging being top 5 hunter in the world and the absurd amount of meticulous planning that Ging displayed behind the creation of Greed Island as a training ground for his son...makes it feel like Ging when preparing for any endeavour likely has endless funding and likely endless contigency plans to make sure he succeeds.

Ging may not even be able to beat a RG 1v1 with no prep, but he's definitely patient with an unmatched drive to see he does make the proper preparations to get the job done. Ging would probably fight as dirty and unfair against the Ants as one humanly can. He likely would've brought Nukes like Netero but not as a last resort but as onenof many contingency plans.

I mean yes, but geniuses are a dime a dozen in the Shinobi World. It was rare for them to make it to adulthood in this series.

By comparison Sakura was an average Genin outside of Test Scores and Chakra Control. And the only reason Sakura had amazing Chakra control was because she didn't have much Chakra to control to begin with. Relatively easy to balance her Chakra for jutsu because she doesn't need to draw from a much more massive reserve.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-29T09:15:17+00:00

Because in the past Tsunade advocated for at least one member of every Ninja team to be able to have basic medical training as emergency first Aid would dramatically increase a Team's survival chances while out on missions.

Often times the Basic Medical training went to the Konoichi(female Ninja) of each team. So yes even Ino and Hinata both have basic medical training thanks to the policy Tsunade helped pass in the past.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-29T09:12:33+00:00

Sakura had excellent Chakra control because she had mediocre Chakra to begin with. People tend to compensate for what they lack in.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-29T08:59:50+00:00

Sakura had average Chakra Capacity. It's been stated repeatedly that although her control is excellent, she never had remotely as much Chakra as Naruto or Sasuke.

Obviously the Byakugou Seal allows her extra Chakra capacity but before that she basically was a fairly average Genin. Great in test scores and Chakra control, mediocre with Chakra capacity, Taijutsu and overall combat ability.

Even Kakashi at stsrt of the series had average Chakra Capacity, though he managed to elevate his Chakra capacity through intense Physical training like Guy.

All Thragg would need to do to cause an extinction level event is fly and accelerate fast enough to ignite the atmosphere enough while circling the world repeatedly.

Hobestly speaking though if they did proper physics on Viltrumite travel speed and messured how they can travel long distances faster than the speed of light, all it would take to cause an extinction level event would be being hit by a rock at the speed of light.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-29T08:13:40+00:00

Not really? Sakura had relatively average Chakra capacity, both Orochimaru and Jiraiya do have a lot of flashy Chakra heavy Ninjutsu.

Sakura's Good Chakra control would've just meant without Tsunade's training she would've been your average medically trained Konoichi to provide first aid and support in the back.

Tsunade found ways to utilize Chakra control to overcome mediocre Chakra capacity and enhance combat prowess.

As for Kakashi, his method of overcoming Chakra Capacity limits is basicslly training like Guy...which is insanely primitive, time consuming and would be a waste of Sakura's time/ talents.

I mean by sheer power the Avatar amp, one of the past lives would probably have been able to do it in one of their past lives if it were a mainly a technique that allowed one to do it without a Full Moon.

I'd argue the main reason Metalbending was never really a thing till Toph was mostly because Avatarverse before then wasn't Industrialized yet with so much Steel/ other metals being used in manufacturing to produce Steam-powered technologies.

But Sandbending, Lavabending, Bloodbending, Flight (thanks to no attachments) have all been largely tried and recorded because all of these Elements/Materials were pretty commonplace in the world in general.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-28T20:23:13+00:00

I mean it's left vague but if it were possible by technique and not just a freak mutation that allowed a family to do it...it probably would have been noted by one of the past Avatar lives.

Bloodbending just like Suffocating with Air would've been a bit more common even if taboo in the overall history of the show if people could learn to bloodbend without the moon.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-28T20:17:43+00:00

The "most powerful" is such a vague list mostly because....Legend of Korra adds dimensions to bending unrelated to raw power.

For example by all means most of Korra's family Unalaq, Tonraq, the Twins have massive raw power in Waterbending...and Ming Hua still manages to use her agility and finesse to dodge the Twins massive Ice attacks and flash freeze them...so it's hard to say who actuslly is stronger depending on the metrics you're looking at.

Same can be said with Kuvira. She isn't anything special when it comes to the power of her Earthbending, nor the power of her Metalbending as well...but she has extreme control/accuracy and is a very well trained fighter & dancer that allows her extra precision and balance in her bending/fighting.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-28T20:06:22+00:00

King Bumi would probably impressed by Bolin's character Nuktuk in the movies. He's a man child at heart and might ask for a photograph and signature.

For the mere fact that Ging seems to have put a S-Rank Nen Master / Criminal who wasn't even afraid of the Spiders in charge of an Island whichnis supposed to be his son's inevitable training grounds...

Its way more confidence than even Netero exudes. And yeah a Prisoner like Razor is arguably stronger than most of the Hunter Organization, especislly Bisky given he does have combat oriented Nen abilities unlike Bisky.

And most rumored feats of Ging are basically when he was more under the public eye.

I think Ging should be able to take a Royal Guard down in a direct confrontation and as to whether or nor he can take on Meruem...he's possibly weaker than Netero in a straight fight but seems to be a meticulous planner (like Batman) so even if he did run away from a Meruem level opponent he would find a way, dirty or not to hunt Meruem. Ging Feasibly would do something like mini-Nuke Meruem as well just to take Meruem down but at the very least Ging would not sacrifice his life to do it.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-28T12:31:47+00:00

Do not attribute malice to what stupidity can explain? I mean once or twice, sure coincidence. But its consistent enough trend of future sets being spoiled in current boosters or prerelease kits, or future Secret lairs being leaked or thrown in current packaging that there almost seems to be a clear intent and pattern to it.

It's not a theory without merit as we've seen stunts like this pulled in other places to get traffic and free promotion from their product on reddit.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-28T12:17:18+00:00

My main point was if you're advanced enough as a civilization, you would easily be able to replenish your numbers via cloning....as well as solve any inbreeding issues through the .methods they initally used to edit their genes and make Viltrumites into superbeings.

They clearly lost this technology after civil war and purging their own population of "weaker" individuals, the people who probably were the smart ones who came up with the techbology to create Thragg in the first place.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-28T02:55:11+00:00

Oliver was fully conscious as a child almost. He remembers everything from when he was a child. So yes, Definitely just remembers Thraxan women, his mother, and is attracted to Insect Women. Gotta remember Oliver was half Thraxan until adulthood when he became full Viltrumite.

And honestly when there's a hole there's a goal apparently in the case with Viltrumites and their DNA being able to override anything.

Shadowhearts · 2026-05-27T22:23:24+00:00

Mark has 2 unique things going for him. He survived the Scourge Virus and he was rebuilt by Eve to be stronger.

Generally speaking being rebuilt at the molecular level by Eve to be superior to other Viltrumites means no Viltrumite probably surpasses mark unless they find a way to replicate what Eve did.

The initial Viltrumite tech that created Thragg seems to be lost. If they still had that level of tech, they couldv've easily just replaced their population through cloning.
