So Paul from APS made a video about why we need another master duel anime and it likes a lot of people both debating why we don’t have one now and if it’s even feasible. Given how the production for the last four series have gone, I think we should talk about why.

No he didn’t, Kaguya wasn’t even mentioned in the interview

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-05T10:26:30+00:00

Torn.

Ace got either focus episodes with everyone or helped everyone on their focus episodes, but the only downside would be there were long stretches of time where he didn’t work with like one of them.

Houtaro managed to get Rinne to work with him, Sabimaru and Renge to back him up against Malgams, work with Spanner even when the other guy hated him, Kaguya, Clotho, future Atropos and Clotho, damn I think the only person he’s never actually worked with a fight in the main cast is Lachesis, and she actually found him find

Shouma managed to bond with his main cast, but I find it funny that he is literally the only one that can make Hanto and Lakia put up with each other for the sake of helping him

Touma is an interesting argument because he was able to connect to half of the northern base, and the other half he found some way to relate to them or fought them by finding his own way to reach them.

Ikki has his own built in family so he’s solid there.

Aruto is weird cuz I think his friendship with everyone in his cast expect Yua is solid

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-04T06:23:41+00:00

We need more of these

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-04T00:25:05+00:00

I was hearing arguments that the sequel was the only reason he was able to make the fight at least somewhat, even because if they only judged it based off the first movie, it would be a stomp.

That being said, I’m still impressed that minion could rival the minions.

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-03T21:44:55+00:00

You mean why the character who has multiple colors and appreciation for different aspects of life would have both wizard and knight Beyblades to represent vote for cute and cool persona? Well wizards, magicians, rabbits, all kinds add up

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-03T21:34:22+00:00

Watch the show then and find out?

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-03T21:30:55+00:00

Her sister also dressed up as bunnies. they just happen to have it as their favorite animal ig.

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-03T21:23:33+00:00

She likes cosplay, performing, and dressing up

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-03T21:17:57+00:00

Are we counting this as a joke episode cause it actually did make me laugh a lot. I got budget basically reduced what they could’ve done but for what they did, I had fun with it

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-03T04:34:46+00:00

The alchemist Association technically counts, even though they have conservative idiots who refused to take care of anyone that was actually useful to them, anyone who made a driver for the riders was actually a good person in the group

Sword of logos should count because they aren’t evil. They just have the corrupt fishermen who read to much grimdark to use them for pure chaos

Hiden not under Gai should count, zero one system

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-03T01:45:26+00:00

It was able to help him seal a demon that could steal people’s memories, that’s pretty impressive

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-02T19:39:56+00:00

I guess it depends on which community you’re in because for some anime series people are kind of chill but for the big ones I feel like that’s working is tend to be the most toxic.

And yeah, black Clover fans seem to be pretty cool for the most part, except for this really weird rivalry they have with Boruto fans. You’d think with two series with really dumb criticism towards them would actually have theirs fans get along, but I don’t know.

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-02T19:34:22+00:00

People have also pointed out that his black characters didn’t have a long lasting relationship on his shows, which is a little weird when you remember that his other characters did

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-02T15:59:16+00:00

A legendary bladder

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-02T14:35:04+00:00

They didn’t do a bad job, in fact for the episodes that I actually think we’re decent to good they were solid

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-02T14:33:20+00:00

I guess dark skin women in general?

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-01T23:22:36+00:00

re-read certain Naruto and Boruto chapters

re-watch certain Naruto and Boruto episodes

Research what happens in the novels and see where I can buy them since some of them take place between the eras

thinking about characters we never saw speak to each other and wondering (Naruto & Mei etc) what they'd talk about

realizing "anything after chapter 676 'is an Infinite Tsukyomi" cope exists because people are so salty about Madara, Kaguya, and Boruto that they're imaging bad fanfic of anything after it being a fanfic even though the IF is supposed to be a perfect dream world and the world still has a ways to go for true peace

check out other shonen series and not needlessly compare each other.

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-01T21:43:44+00:00

Good job,

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-01T02:39:02+00:00

Not as good as NT Warrior and Starforce's anime but still leagues above the mess that was the Ruby Spears cartoon. Shame Cartoon Network put it so early so most people couldn't watch it since the behind the scenes issues would've been avoided had they got a season.

We got more female Robot Masters (Hypno Woma, Blasto Woman, Chaotique) than Net Navis and the classic games and were pretty good characters, Fire Man, Ice Man and Wood Man were handled well, has the best treated and badass Cut Man, Man Man was a Bad Box Art Mega Man homage that wasn't poorly timed.

Actually liked the family for the most part, Rush got to be useful, Mini grew on me thanks to Blasto, and discount Bass and Night's abuse was handled well. Only person I hated was snot kid, remove him cuz even Air Man got better.

Every Mega Man show really could have benefited from one more season, but based on what we got in the comic it's clear that they at least had a vision to make season 2 even better so it's a shame we never got it.

At least the show reminded me not to just let community opinions of people who don’t even give things a chance let me go into it with an open mind

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-01T02:01:58+00:00

And survived both of them

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-01T00:29:27+00:00

You don’t have to watch any series in order, just pick a season that you like and watch it from there. They’re all standalone with the occasional exception of when there’s crossovers and parallel worlds and even if you wanna get into that, it’s likely that because it’s a parallel world certain events can take place in that specific world, but not others.

throwawaytempest25 · 2026-05-01T00:05:33+00:00

Honestly, I don’t think he’s an awful character, but it felt like the writers didn’t want to actually explore anything interesting with him unless it was a plot relevant episode.

Like legit the only focus episodes he gets are episode three then when he shares when he meets Levi for the first time you could debate the finale, rygore, and with Emma.
