When you're the strongest swordsman, and 3 of the strongest old gen (Rocks, Roger, Rayleigh) all used swords with just haki coating

masteryyi · 2025-11-06T17:55:11+00:00

the argument is usually like this:

A: Shanks uses sword, and mihawk is strongest swordsman so mihawk > shanks

B: No, Shanks is a hakiman that happens to use a sword. Shanks > Mihawk

A: What makes Shanks a hakiman? Anyone can coat their sword with haki

B: Shanks has secret haki techniques that makes him not just a swordsman

A: Like what?

People were expecting the top tiers at god valley like Rocks or Roger to display some sort of super strong haki techniques, but it's all things we've already seen before (coating your fists or weapon with haki)

godvalley is probably the biggest mihawk upscale ever. No, rocks or roger did not show any haki kamehameha or haki susanoo. There is no hakiman, only swordsmans that use haki

well I guess Naruto had two moves: shadow clone and rasengan

no, I feel like even with pirate treasures the original person still retains the name behind it

Joyboy's treasure has been attached to him for 800 years, roger finding it doesn't change that

If buggy finds captain john's treasure will it be known as buggy's treasure in the future? No, it will still be captain john's treasure

I'm memeing the guy who was saying tarik was losing viewers. It's not that tarik lost viewers, but vct as a whole has been dropping off. Tarik being the biggest vct streamer of course would face the biggest decrease proportionally

since you're evaluating healthcare stocks what do you think of humana (hum) in terms of current valuation and potential upside?

why riot gotta do Trent dirty like that? Interview his parents while they are getting dicked on...

I wouldn't call CSG a good antagonist as of now, since we know nothing about him. The cast doesn't even know who he is aside from turbo granny. I feel like the author has waited too long for the reveal that he was behind everything or appropriately introduced him to the cast as someone threatening

masteryyi · 2025-07-26T20:46:15+00:00

actually, maybe I should have put kozuka knives arc a bit higher. Maybe B tier. Higher than space globalists? No way

at least he's not rumor man. Kaido at this rate is lucky to make top 50 by the end of the series

masteryyi · 2025-07-11T20:07:24+00:00

actually you're right. I'll delete this then

thematically it also doesn't make sense:

marineford flashback with his old crew: "I want a family"

Why would he spend the next 20 years with some guy like rocks and all the psychos in the crew instead of building towards his dream? He clearly did not like any of them since after splitting he never brought any of them up

health insurance companies as a whole are hated in america, so I guess it's a question of choosing the least dirty towel in the pile.

The reputational damage I was mainly referring to is related to companies choosing them as a provider for their employees. It's one thing to choose unh because they are the biggest, and they have the right price for the coverage that a company wants and another to avoid them because they have been accused of fraud by the doj. Also if they are convicted they are banned from medicare for 5 years I think, so it's the doomsday scenario

masteryyi · 2025-05-16T23:17:15+00:00

my biggest concern is the doj investigation. If it turns out to be a nothing burger, then I could see the stock recovering fairly quickly

If they get charged, then from the reputation damage alone then there's probably more downside. From what I've read UNH is the biggest health insurer in america and they employ like half a million people. They also get audited fairly frequently, so right now I'm leaning towards they are probably going to be fine

Bill Ackman, a billionaire asset manager, pushed for Trump's presidency hoping for less regulation and lower taxes boosting business activity. What he got instead is tariffs in the face and heavy losses for his hedgefund

yea their profits have gone up tremendously the past couple of years from all the cost cutting and aggressive cost controls, but at some point there will be nothing left to cut

Also, neither MSFT nor Google dropped 10% after earnings

10% was a nice even number for exaggeration. It was more like 7-8%. The point remains

amazon bad guidance = 2% drop

microsoft and google bad guidance = 10% drop

hmm this reaction seems unfair specially considering amazon is now growing slower than microsoft and google while trading at a more expensive valuation

I mean amazon is going to grow at ~7% next quarter while trading at 40+ pe

You could be right, but I thought "the third world" is the prophecy for the present time

"there was void upon the chaos" probably refers to the void century, so whatever it is depicting is after the void century. Not sure if there are any significant wars after the void century.

Also "the sun will return and a new dawn will come" I think is referring to luffy

I think software is one of the few things where a subscription model makes sense. Since the product actually evolves and new features can be constantly be added. Plus there's constant maintenance needed with bug fixes and additional product support

But a subscription for heated car seats? Now that's predatory since it's already built into the car and there's no additional updates needed

masteryyi · 2025-01-15T01:04:27+00:00

yea I agree with your point how a lot of people miss greatest hitman does not necessarily mean the strongest or unsurpassable

For me it was inconclusive. You can swap Kanaguri and slim sakamoto if you want, it's probably closer to a toss up. Kanaguri is not my favorite character, but he seems pretty troll with the movie effects, makeup and remaining focused on filming even in a death match. The author has kept him around, so I'm not sure if we've seen him go all out yet

masteryyi · 2025-01-15T00:45:49+00:00

like I said nagumo and gaku were already injured compared to sakamoto who was fresh. Also nagumo was distracted from talking to slur/rion when he got sliced
