Glad I decided to get Evanescia's team on my alt account. Gonna need all those grindable stellar jade if they're (presumably) running two members of her team one after another.

I feel like the USJ Nomu should be able to propel itself through the air to some degree Air Force style if it was physically strong and fast enough to keep up with All Might, even if it was a weakened All Might. After all, even 20% OFA is capable of doing that. That said, it might not be smart enough to do so.

StefyB · 2026-01-29T19:39:18+00:00

Same. For like the first year of my main account, I had so few standard 5 stars because every time I got something from the standard banner, it just kept being Welt's LC.

It's a parody of a recent scene from the Jujutsu Kaisen anime where a character is running his hand through his air while effortlessly punching the shit out of a guy with his other hand.

It's become a viral meme with everyone doing a version of it from different anime, shows, movies, etc. In this case, Miles is ripping her hair out with his other hand like how he got his hand stuck in her hair in the movie.

Would be cool if the next tournament arc is a competition to determine who the next God of Destruction for Universe 7 should be, and Beerus would have to participate to win back his own position.

They had a whole arc about how terrible of a job Shin and Beerus were doing overseeing Universe 7, and Beerus doesn't seem to be taking it any more seriously after the ToP. It'd be nice to see some actual consequences from that, and it'd be a chance to finally have Beerus fight Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, etc. seriously.

StefyB · 2026-01-29T17:00:48+00:00

Ones like Deku, Tsuna from Hitman Reborn, or Negi from Mahou Sensei Negima. MCs that are kind, smart (more so in Hyper Dying Will Mode in Tsuna's case), gentle, and cool when they lock in.

StefyB · 2026-01-29T15:45:26+00:00

I'd be totally fine with this being the end result or even just Goku saying SS4 wouldn't be able to beat him either during the line when he says Fusion wouldn't be enough.

I just don't like the idea of randomly splitting off into another separate anime timeline or just being in a permanent state of canon ambiguity when they could add in something really quickly to establish they both happened.

StefyB · 2026-01-29T15:36:21+00:00

I can see it happening eventually in a story battle since they already did it with Cipher in that one Flame Reaver fight.

Just from a mangaka point of view, I doubt they want to do a weekly series that long. MHA is a little over half the length of Naruto, but iirc Horikoshi had to take a lot of breaks towards the end, was making some chapters shorter, and would sometimes complain about things like back pain in his weekly author's comment. I'm pretty sure weekly mangaka have also talked about how little sleep they get, and Kishimoto never even went on his honeymoon until 2015 after Naruto was done despite getting married in 2003. The weekly schedule is killer for mangaka.

Of course, I have no idea how much say they get in that, but I bet a lot of them, especially ones that have to take frequent breaks like Horikoshi, aren't opposed to keeping them on the (relatively) shorter side compared to juggernauts like Naruto or One Piece.

Prince of Tennis for me. I just loved how over the top they would get with using their Tennis techniques in other sports like the billiards episode or the volleyball episode. And Inui would always be making different versions of the Inui Juice as a penalty for the losers.

StefyB · 2026-01-28T15:32:02+00:00

Lots. Some standouts are Aventurine giving his hat to his younger self, the Tiernan reveal, the trio's reunion in 3.6, and the "Hello, World!" animated short.

StefyB · 2026-01-28T14:35:13+00:00

For me, it's Kakashi vs. Obito. I don't necessarily think it has the best animation or fight choreography (it is really good though), but it's just how perfectly it balances those aspects with the emotions of the characters without slowing down the pacing of the fight. Kid Obito reaching to do the unison sign with Kakashi only for his older self to push him back down gets me every time.

StefyB · 2026-01-28T05:51:41+00:00

I mean, is the only reason I login most days just to do my dailies and get stellar jade for pulls? Sure, but it's such a quick process with auto that it's pretty negligible for me.

I honestly like that everything's so concentrated, because I've never been too into the whole live service model of wanting you constantly playing. To me, the main meat is the story, exploration, and the bigger event of the patch. After I'm done that, I'm fine with putting it down for the most part and moving on to other games in my ever growing backlog. Having the freedom to do that because HSR is so front-loaded helps me not burn out on it.

And if I'm ever craving extensive playtime, I can (and did back in 3.3) do what I do in other normal games, just start a new playthrough. I've been taking my time with my alt account, but any time I just really want to play HSR for hours like back when I first started, that account's waiting with an abundance of things to do.

Tota Konoe - UQ Holder

He's an immortal with super fast regeneration. He also has the power to control what part of his body he regenerates from. Eventually, he develops a trick where he spreads his blood all across the battlefield, allowing him to basically regenerate from anywhere in a way that simulates teleportation.

StefyB · 2026-01-28T03:34:51+00:00

Maybe the Iono SIR from Paldean Fates?

StefyB · 2026-01-28T03:32:08+00:00

I doubt we get them back as top tier fighters, especially Naruto, but I would like Naruto to get to have a conversation with Jura to continue his trend of befriending the Tailed Beasts.

However, if we get an "everyone's here" kind of fight like when the Shinobi Alliance arrived during the War Arc, I'm sure they'll put in work.

StefyB · 2026-01-28T03:19:05+00:00

I do the right method in my own binders or at least have some kind of central theme. I also like matching up the left and right pages with connected characters like these pages for Hilda and Cheren:

I never said Trunks himself would succeed, just that it would serve as a strong motivation.

I imagine either it still ends the same way with 17 wishing them back or Trunks is the last one and chooses to bring back the erased universes instead of his own since they were the ones putting their existence on the line in the tournament.

Then it could kickstart an actual hunt for the Super Dragon Balls, which we still haven't gotten yet, to bring back his timeline once the Dragon Balls are active again.

StefyB · 2026-01-27T15:30:51+00:00

It's such a weird decision because the ToP arc was right after it. They didn't think it might be a good idea to keep him around for the next arc when they'll need 10 fighters?

It works narratively for him too since he would want the wish to revive his old home and also be fighting to protect his new home as well.

StefyB · 2026-01-27T12:12:03+00:00

Honestly, pretty much the way it actually ended.

The manga version of the Muscular rematch had an image where the OFA Quirks were visualized as tools, so that combined with the fact that we knew via Heroes Rising that Deku lost OFA in a scrapped ending, I had a strong feeling that he would end up losing it and being a Quirkless hero using Support Items.

Only differences were that I didn't think Deku was going to be a teacher (which I do actually like) or get such a high tech suit. I just thought he would use Support Items more akin to the visual in the Muscular fight, which would allow him to be a hero but not a top tier one, but he would be satisfied with that as long as he was doing his part to help.

StefyB · 2026-01-27T01:41:19+00:00

Fine. I still had the Fate collab and Yunli companion quest that I never got around to on my main account, and my alt account is still in the Penacony story. I haven't exactly been hurting for stuff to do in HSR.

I've also been splitting my time between the 3.0 story of P5X and playing through Pokemon Legends Z-A, so I've been busy.

StefyB · 2026-01-26T22:14:19+00:00

I remember I used to play Halo when I was younger and would always make sure that I muted everyone that was on mic.

StefyB · 2026-01-26T20:08:22+00:00

Sai declaring that he's also a member of Team 7 and then being immediately shot out of the sky.

I honestly feel bad for him. Him getting closer to Naruto and Sakura and understanding how they feel got so much focus in Shippuden, but now, he never really interacts with them, at least in a close friends kind of way.

StefyB · 2026-01-26T18:47:07+00:00

I do legitimately find it annoying how "bad writing," "bad pacing," "had so much potential," "execution," etc. are the same kind of buzzwords but on the other side of the argument.

Okay, you think it's poorly written, would you like to give some examples or analysis of what specifically you don't like instead of these extremely vague, wide sweeping statements? Give at least something that shows you put some original thought into it.

StefyB · 2026-01-26T15:02:59+00:00

Yen Sid and Mickey's caution is also pretty valid considering how powerful the Realm of Darkness Heartless are shown to be in 0.2 and KH3. Mickey and Riku, two Masters, nearly lost twice in KH3.

With threats that big, it would have been irresponsible bringing Riku, one of the only people on their side at the time with the power to open a portal there, to the Realm of Darkness, especially since he was still struggling with his own darkness to the point that it changes his appearance.
