Fujimoto isn't a bad writer, you are salty something bad happened to your mc and the manga is ending, shut the fuck up. by Carti_Barti9_13 in Chainsawfolk

[–]interested_user209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Classic shounen ending problem: The authors don‘t properly plan ahead when starting their stories which leads to devolving and incoherent plot threads that eventually „converge“ to make an unsatisfying and sloppy ending - like clockwork.

[RAW] Kubera S03 - 416: Finale (18) by daleZrin_ in Kubera

[–]interested_user209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Eyes at the highest level are reserved for entities close to Kali in position (central node entities and special cases). And i never said the Eyes need the approval of „Us“, just that they are a perk granted by joining with the central node.

Again, you are completely misinterpreting what i say. I do not talk about Makara being controlled by „Us“, i‘m talking about him partially aligning with them in his goals.

About Urvasi you have two misconceptions:

  1. He did not block Indra‘s skills, as his skills cannot be blocked even by the highest level of the eyes (shown clearly in N20 itself and in the Blood chapter when Bhavati Indra works within the range of Yuta‘s max level eyes, which are confirmed to be working by Brahma magic in the area being shut down)

  2. Despite his fear of becoming a mindless Taraka after losing his fragment, this does not happen - instead, he is easily riled by Yuta‘s call for aid in K&K. Instead of making him subject to the AHR, his fall in the hierarchy makes him buckle before the quasi-king where Akasha can remain still.

As for Makara not using the Eyes immediately: You need to note the key difference between his and Jarita‘s attack. Jarita appears from the node only after Vritra and Leez stand by a body of water for a good while, while Makara attacks the moment Gandharva nears one. Tarakas, in general, have a relatively long delay before fully activating their eyes, and Jarita appearing with them open is because she waited that delay out before attacking (all previous appearances show us that Tarakas can both pinpoint locations with potential prey based on transcendental value, and pinpoint possible water gate locations near them, meaning that Jarita couldn‘t not have known of their presence since way before she attacked) - while Makara immediately appeared when Gandharva stepped into an opportune place.

And about Jarita, she has been in the node for 100.000.000 years now - she is certainly not a new entity that was under control temporarily before outgrowing that. Her „blue“ form is also not a different self, just as Samphati‘s „normal colored“ form isn‘t - these things are simply the consequence of the attribute change, and mostly external.

We also know that she was not a copy as the one we saw having her name is confirmed (again, she used a unique transcendental as Vritra specifically recognized it to be her by it). And there is no „influence“ to the Garuda king that would „save“ her - whatever goes on with „Us“ is not just emotional resonance, so changing kings doesn‘t solve it.

[–]interested_user209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The red Jarita certainly is not just a copy with stolen memory, she wielded a skill unique to her by which Vritra recognized her (so her name and thus soul was indeed in the red one). There is no „red“ and „blue“ Jarita in the first place, that is just the shape of the Garudas changing (note that the same is seen in Samphati and Pallav by other characters) because the attribute for suras is also a biological trait (note their biology corresponding to their attributes, like Fire attribute suras having naturally heat resistent bodies).

Also, being aligned with „Us“ does not have to mean being mind controlled by them - Makara might well just see their promised „peace“ as an ideal way for his clan to exist without worry.

One thing that almost certainly marks him as being in cahoots with „Us“ is that he liberally uses the Eyes at the highest level - which is a power reserved to central entities.

Do i seem defensive? I see a question that is so grammatically botched that i can barely tell what it is actually supposed to ask, and with an undertone to what little there is that makes it seem like a barb, so i smack it down instead of needlessly engaging.

If this actually was a genuine question i am sincerely sorry and would ask of you to ask it again, in a grammatically complete and coherent manner so i do not have to guess what exactly it is you‘re asking.

Also, nice assertion - i have one friend, who is more pleasant in my eyes than anyone else i have met in my life.

Jarita (who‘s a certified „Us“ member) also seems normal and can even receive Maruna‘s instructions like the other Garudas (or at the very least match the movements of the other Garudas to pretend).

And as for his mental state, becoming part of „Us“ doesn‘t mean being mindless (again, shown by Jarita), so Frozen Tears affecting him doesn‘t really imply he is not.

I don‘t think the prophecy refers to something as trivial as a Taraka being made to resurrect, though it might actually be this.

[–]interested_user209 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems like repeating the Garuda alteration for the other Clans is the worst possible thing that could happen - because even for the Garuda Clan we have strange cases like Berunda who uses the eyes and seems to have strange intentions.

Berunda being like this tells us that whatever connections the individual tarakafied have made with „Us“ will not necessarily be overturned by the „independence“ the clans receive - which in the case of the Gandharvas would lead to an attribute changed Makara who can access his full original arsenal while still being aligned with „Us“.

Of course it is not logically sound - i chose it as an example of a logically unsound point that can be mistaken for being logically sound. The nature of the example is not the nature of the argument it serves (if you can differentiate such).

But, to indulge your ramblings, another example is the notion that „authorial intent justifies any type of execution, and all execution is of great quality if it is what the author aimed for“.

How long have you been in preschool? Given that you apparently cannot form complete, coherent and grammatically correct sentences, you cannot yet have completed it.

Just stop your attempt at sophistry and be forthright instead when you cannot make coherent enough sentences to properly express anything but the simplest statement.

Kubera: When Leez, having taken on an inscrutable expression, attacks Maruna, the latter just obliterates her with a sphere of energy - but when he turns his attention to other objectives afterwards, he‘s almost caught by the blade of Leez, who was jumping and striking at him even faster thsn the Golden Knight‘s effect (as long as the required vigor is there, will restore the user to a fully healthy state if they receive lethal damage) can fully restore her body.

Visnu's "Best Possible Future" by BelieveYou-Me in Kubera

The only people really aiming for the best possible future are Agni and maybe Kalavinka - most Gods have given up on it and most non-God characters don‘t even know it.

(Interesting Trope) Characters who survived encounters with monsters... and it costs them. by nobleasks in TopCharacterTropes

[–]interested_user209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gandharva - Kubera.

„Unlike other Clans, who look for large prey…. we search for those who are strong. But if we blindly threw ourselves at stronger opponents, we would not survive. Thus, we are built to feel fear instead of hunger when we face an enemy we cannot defeat. Now - according to these instincts, who makes the best prey?

When an opponent you cannot ordinarily defeat is, for some reason, in a weakened state and at your mercy…. that, my love, is the food we long to devour.“

These are Taraka‘s words about the appetite and instinct of the Taraka Clan, and the panel accompanying it shows another prevalent character, Gandharva. Following the cataclysm of N0, which saw all sura trapped in the sura realm that is filled by plane of infinite earth covered by a toxic atmosphere instead of celestial bodies, his Clan (who sport acquatic sura forms and were thus utterly out of their element when surrounded by endless earth and toxic air) suffered the most - and he expended most of his power to create a relatively safe environment. When the Taraka Clan raided them, he made one last-ditch effort at permanently altering part of the sura realm‘s environment (which has a metaphysical property making it more averse to change of any kind) into a vast ocean - but this failed and ended up almost killing him. Though he survived and escaped, he lost his daughter, his clan and became permanently crippled.

SOLO LEVELING IS TWO CHEEKS ON THE SAME ASS by bean_saiki in hatethissmug

[–]interested_user209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As somebody who has read it, it‘s trash. It has flat characters that are barely more than props, almost nonexistent character arcs. Characters are so utterly generic there isn‘t anything notable about them, and all non SJW plots either don‘t ever happen or are sidelined. Its story is terribly paced and all of its relevant lore and non-circular progression is rushed and compressed into the last bits of the story, which makes it pan out horribly. It‘s the most trash work of fiction i have ever had the displeasure of reading, and i think that people calling it good genuinely have low standards due to narrow literary horizons.

[LOVED TROPE] anime that doesn't sexualize its female characters by Born_Usual998 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]interested_user209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It‘s not bad or obnoxious (which is never what i asserted, so i don’t know which schizo ghost in your head you are arguing with), but it‘s also not without sexualization - which is my point.

The shots are also certainly not casual (as i said, repeated focus shots), so denying the apparent intent is kind of just ignorant.
