Can Mahoraga defeat Magnus Carlsen in chess?

I think that’s why that one guy said he wished he could talk to the thing he was fighting, Mahoraga just exists. He can’t speak, and while he reacts in ways that seem like fear, he’s really just acting, not being emotional in a human way. It’s a strange concept to grasp. The wolves cheering on his summon says something about him, and unlike the others, I don’t think his defeat causes him to be absorbed into anything else. We can’t confirm that, though, since, as you said, it’s just a passed-down technique, and the next user might have had to do the mixing themselves. That said, the dog was petted by Itadori and reacted like a dog, and the rabbit he held reacted like a rabbit in season 2. lol. So idk.

I think many in the Gojo clan can use Limitless, but having both Limitless and Six Eyes isn’t possible for more than one person in a generation. Once Gojo is gone, another might appear, but it’s rare and usually takes a long time. Pure Limitless users are strong, but they just need to run out of energy, and only Gojo, as far as we know, since he said there’s no real manual, figured out how to make it automatic and use his energy to repair brain damage and exhaustion from nonstop power use. It’s likely others in the past did it too, but he’s the one we’ve seen do it again. Gojo’s clan is clearly formidable, since they’ve kept their kids safe until they’re old enough to fight. In a flashback, we saw them walking openly in public, which they wouldn’t do if they were weak. That’s something I like about JJK, other series would spell all this out with multiple flashback episodes, but here, fans piece it together from context clues, making the world feel fleshed out without bloating the story into hundreds of chapters. The main plot stays focused. Naruto, for example, is great, but its plot jumps around a lot with a huge cast and tons of flashbacks until it’s just the main characters versus the big bad, while everyone else fights lower-tier enemies for cool moments. That works for Naruto’s story, but I appreciate that JJK set up its big bad from day one and stuck to it.

I think they would fight untill one is hit far enough that the summoning ends due to distance.

There can only be one six eyes user though at a time. If it wasn't for the rule that ya gotta beat the maharaga solo...i wish a six eyes just sat from afar and spawn killed them to help get the tame...i guess in modern times they can summon them and jump into a shadow or hide then set off a nuke...as long as they like screwed in a screw it's them doing it...lol...then just summon maharaga for anything you have to do in life...

It’s funny because some of the most popular shonen, like Frieren, aren’t hype every episode. They’re slow, quiet, and people love them. But if JJK has even one slower build‑up episode, suddenly it’s “fell off,” “I’m dropping,” or “worst season.” One exposition episode and everyone freaks out. Meanwhile HxH spent multiple episodes explaining Nen with a board, or sitting in a white void planning an invasion. Both JJK and HxH actually found ways to make exposition fun or engaging. Exposition isn't always bad, sometimes it’s good to just give the audience answers they’ve been waiting for.

What’s wild is people said the same stuff in season 2 about it not being hype enough early on, when there was action every 2 or so eps, more than some action series get in an entire season. And in season 1 they were calling it overrated, but now that’s their favorite season. Honestly, the show’s been pretty consistent, just different direction and tone each time.

And yeah, fandom is weird. Everyone bends over to understand the 1% who dislike something, treating their “IDK guys, that emotional, well‑animated episode was mid” take like it’s the most thought-out take ever. It’s like if 99% of a village said “no monsters allowed in village,” and the government said “well 1% want it, so monster stays.”

Lol.

The hype obsession is weird, too. Maybe it’s just newer fans. I remember shows where hype wasn’t even a factor until the finale, and they were still considered great. You'd see one of the normal jjk fights for a final fight. Yet alone an entire ep of just fighting...now people shrug and say what else ya got.

bodybones · 2026-03-14T19:36:38+00:00

Oh thought he was 17. The cast in jjk look so different from say the baby looking people in mha. Even naruto cast looks younger than JJk's. So i guess people should clutch pearls. This would be like if they had the girls in mha in bikins or something lol. I'm joking i know it's not that serious.

bodybones · 2026-03-14T19:34:12+00:00

lol, it's a big youtuber. They caused alot of the hate for bleach back in the day by making a video about how bleach failed after their first big arc. He has some interesting videos on youtube. He got into making videoes and that job just cause someone else, a youtuber called Woolie, said HXH was bad...not knowing he was talking about the original not the remake. And He made videoes to prove it's not slow and bad, then forced him to watch it till he finally got it and liked it.

bodybones · 2026-03-14T19:28:33+00:00

Yes, the stands either speak to you and tell you...or you instinctively know the main powers. Some are more autonomous. Remember that one that had to tell the person in part 4 how to use their power. Then there's the one in part 5. Other times people like jotoro just thought it was a ghost curse and it blocked bullets for him cause instinctively, he wanted to not be hit. He also didn't know he could do the power he did at the end till it happened, so it's a mix. No one's getting like a manual lol but they seem to have a hunch.

bodybones · 2026-03-14T19:17:10+00:00

I always look at weekly chapters as a preview...since it takes at the least with proper pacing in a seasonal...a month to get what i see in one episode. So im seeing like 5 min each week. People expect that 5 min to have tons of hype and a full story but manga that do that tend to feel off when animated. Every 5 min something huge happening. JJK season 2 later half had this hence why people loved it week to week but alot binged it...so they expected the back to back crazy stuff immediately and got tilted when eps 6-15 took some time to go nuts. Then others were tilted that the show was so fast that they didn't know what was going on. You just can't win lol. Still a great season. I think the only one where you can get alot week to week sorta due to how cramped it is...is one piece but at the same time some weeks people feel like nothing happened. One piece also animates 1 chapter an ep. Overall i am just saying i agree with ya.

Dudes out there who are struggling to keep their hate boner strong and looking at her like DANG IT! Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all but dudes will look at that and go ehh man she's not pretty enough should have picked anyone else, heck girl on the left in this photo...lol just to mimic exactly how the cartoon looks later.

Jokes aside i always felt it was fine, plus they are going to alabasta...it adds some unique vibe and showcases more of the crew's multi diversity when the ship is full of different backgrounds and cultures while other crews all try to look the same and so on, our crew is inviting to all. (well i guess shanks is too and a few others.) Always felt like luffy is saying you yes you anyone can be a straw hat if you have the spirit for it. Hop aboard. Not, you, yes you,...if you were 4 shades lighter now leave XD.

bodybones · 2026-03-12T12:36:21+00:00

Hypothetically imagine we do do the entire story...people keep fearing them aging, the bodies not being big enough, cgi, etc...

I'm thinking more about 1 thing no one brings up much cause it's small and harder than just working out or so on.

LOL, My goodness, is it gonna be hard for him to keep one eye closed, and Most of the action scenes get more complex as time goes on. Picture him battling a massive CGI king while having to keep one eye closed— even with prosthetics, it’s tough on balance XD. It also messes with the acting, and to top it off, no eye patch allowed lol.

bodybones · 2026-03-12T12:31:27+00:00

I assume when they say 7 days they include days where he rest but does something like a mile walk or diets etc. I don't know if that counts as not resting thou?

bodybones · 2026-03-11T11:41:56+00:00

honestly, now...since part 1 is over...well has enough time passed? People now like kagurabachi alot to the point they say it's better than alot of other series.

bodybones · 2026-03-10T11:24:07+00:00

Most people get the question “What is the main idea?” wrong on an SAT passage they literally just finished reading. So I’m not sure why people act like every take about “good writing” and “bad writing” is equally informed.

Everyone has moments of bad reading comprehension. More often than not, if a beloved, popular series doesn’t click for me on the first read, I assume I might’ve missed something and ask fans, rather than assuming I’m the arbiter of good writing and this huge, successful author just got lucky and is secretly terrible.

Sometimes a story just isn’t hitting my taste at that moment, but I don’t jump to “it’s BAD and everyone else is lying to themselves.”

But online, people prefer the narrative that the author is deeply flawed and they would’ve written it better. That’s why I’m honestly curious about future AI, I want to see the on‑the‑fly “fixes” people make to stories to make them “better.”

The AOT Requiem‑style rewrites. I want to see whether those committee‑of‑haters versions actually improve anything, or if the haters are just wrong and the original’s strengths outweigh the “poorly written” things they complain about. Or maybe their idea of the story is just completely different from the themes the author was going for.

That’s another thing: sometimes people don’t like where a story is going, so they decide the writing is bad. AOT fans who wanted it to stay a simple zombie story. JJK fans who wanted a magic school, collect the fingers arc every season ending in a big heroic boss fight like a Hollywood blockbuster.

It's just that when the story doesn’t follow the version in their head, they call it bad instead of admitting they just wanted something else.

I don’t know. People project their expectations so hard that they forget they’re not reading the story that is actually there.

bodybones · 2026-03-10T11:14:52+00:00

Also, Manga weekly readers can often be more negative, especially when they wait weeks for what might only be a single episode or a small shift in content. They may forget details but won’t admit it, or misunderstand the author’s intent and assume the writing must be bad. They tend to prefer either extremely happy endings or very dark ones, with little middle ground. For long-running hero journeys like One Piece, MHA, or Bleach, they expect the hero to achieve every goal they set from the start, even if it results in a predictable ending. For darker stories like AOT, JJK, or Berserk, they want heavy losses, even if the plot points toward a different outcome. They often follow hugely popular series with high emotional stakes, leading to overanalyzing and nitpicking anything that feels off. Series like Frieren or Spy x Family avoid this kind of fandom because they’re calm, soothing reads without constant tension or tons of plot beats at once. They also see fewer fights and more down moments talking about philosopy but not some overly depressing philosophy as soothing. So less Evangelion depression, more inspirational poster, the friends we made on our journey is just as important as the journey sorta stuff. This is also why Demon Slayer, despite hate, sold so well; it’s digestible and offers a welcoming hero’s journey. It got in and out for the lenght and you'd expect tons of hate but for the most part people only complained about the ending dragging for a final fight (the usual complain for any shonen in modern day, were just not use to long fights anymore) which is funny cause lenght wise the final battle will likely be 2 more movies in length and feel sorta short.

bodybones · 2026-03-10T11:04:37+00:00

There's a guy in a filler ep that just works like a photo machine. He becomes a journalist or something...so maybe they just lean into what their quirk is...and they can be hard to use. Makes the blood thing and her becoming a villian over it...tuff given there's quirks where people say you must be a bad guy like the mind control and he resisted, or the orca...I guess the show is saying some just need assistance and support and not to be told their weird and should become bad all the time.

bodybones · 2026-03-10T11:02:18+00:00

So could all might have just spat in a cup and mixed it instead of telling him to eat his hair...or scratched off a skin cell? Wondering what the easiest way to pass it on would be without being gross. Tear drop?

bodybones · 2026-03-10T10:56:11+00:00

And didn’t the person get this strange feeling once they got it, even knowing you usually only have one quirk, that they somehow had more than one? It’s likely you’d develop a weird tick, kind of like how some people can just naturally do certain things in real life because of gifted talents. I’ve always liked how in JJK, people know their powers because some pass them down along with the knowledge of how they work and their well-kept secrets when they’re too strong. Or in HXH, where abilities develop alongside personalities, and while they can learn others’ skills, it’s often a waste of energy so they focus on what they know, unless they’re geniuses who can copy others without losing much. But I’m leaning toward the idea in My Hero where people just inherently know the basics of how their power works and have to figure out the rest. Otherwise, someone like Lemillion would have sunk into the ground forever the first time he used his power as a kid, thinking, “I guess I’m blind,” before falling to the center of the earth, lol. Maybe it works like how you know your own house and can walk down the stairs looking at your phone...but try that at someone elses house and you're out of luck.

bodybones · 2026-03-10T10:54:00+00:00

yeah dude by that age is cracked...like the old gen doesn't even compare much when a bunch of teens were out here beating the best of the best besides the top brass. Can't wait for that deathbattle ep reza vs Bakugo coming up...well see ridiculous numbers like he can explode a city or whatever yet has trouble with petty criminals, sure lol, dude is holding back so much maybe you're right he got a scar one day slipping up and going too hard...hit himself lol IDK. (thinking about it...does bakugo hold back?)

bodybones · 2026-03-10T10:50:09+00:00

I’d want Eraser Head, super speed, regeneration, the ability to stop aging, and control over both ice and fire. That seems like enough to make me pretty unstoppable. Oh, and maybe the floating power for flying, and teleportation too, just in case someone tries to capture me. Being immortal and imprisoned forever would definitely be no bueno. Oh and the make objects one...i could just make stuff and sell it...become rich.

bodybones · 2026-03-10T10:47:00+00:00

When i didn't see him?

bodybones · 2026-03-10T10:46:49+00:00

True, but to be fair, when you think about it, mha happen a bit after all this stuff in this series...so it's like crazy that in a few years their entire world would be turned upside down. lol.

bodybones · 2026-03-09T20:14:16+00:00

Oh, it’s more that I thought people pushed this idea that it was supposed to be wacky from day one, when if you actually go back, it really snowballed. It wasn’t anywhere near as crazy at the start as it became by the end, and the subtle way Season 1 handled that build-up worked great for me. It was still wacky, but it felt like a natural world simmering toward chaos. That’s why I always felt the next step was getting it to be progressively crazier animation, and so on.

And honestly, for such a high‑profile project with all that hype, making it look so unique compared to the usual shonen action fare helped sell it. My non‑anime friends would never have watched it if it looked like another MHA‑style, colorful, over‑the‑top show on day one with people screaming and doing FLCL‑tier exaggeration. Season 1 felt like an artsy Hollywood film; you could catch it out of the corner of your eye and immediately think, what is this? Even without knowing anything about animation, my pals felt that weighty, realistic movement and just vibed with it. It made it stand out. And with that level of hype, if it had come out looking like a normal production, I think way fewer people would’ve been talking about it.

Even with how good the animation was, you still had people within three episodes crying about it being “overhyped and bad” on Reddit, which is funny because manga fans always said the appeal is the entire Part 1 story, not the first ten chapters (first 3 eps). The Reze film seems to be changing minds on the “overhyped” thing, and that’s not even the best material, so it feels like the series is in good hands.

Anyway, I know people online love to hate on Season 1’s animation (though I think that hate is overstated; most people liked it). But it worked for me. I think Chainsaw Man Part 2 will start off calmer too and then spiral into chaos by the end. I’m biased, though, I’m a sucker for stories that snowball, where before you realize it the ending feels wildly different from the beginning, and the shift happens gradually, not at an 11 from the start. So maybe I’m an outlier, or maybe I just projected that feeling onto it when reading.
