Circus of Humorous & Humiliating Arguments Part 5: Diamonds are fleeting. Stupid lasts forever

This bait is old, try something new,bruh
I wish I was joking but Fiamma's one of the weaker top tiers and his ability explicitly ignores the concept of speed (and physical distance as a separate category, so you know it's not just teleportation)

I was only half joking, to reiterate
 
From what I know (I have Vacuum Diagrams but am yet to read it) humanity went all out fighting the Xeelee (as in, the singular Xeelee that happened to be in the universe at the time) and the Xeelee barely even noticed and just left because it was basically bored/had better things to do.
 
Just what I need

Another decades long multimedia franchise

I'll genuinely think about it but if I do, I better not hear any complaints...
You all need to at least check out the Anbu No Item spin-off.

Either wait for the anime coming out that will cover at least the first 2 volumes or just spoil yourself with the volumes out.

What’s nice is it’s a prequel series that takes place a whole year before just about everything else.
 

Find it funny that they just completely remove the entire advantage of the Brotherhood of Steel to make it "fair", it's like getting rid of the Enclave's best shit while allowing the World's Military everything and the kitchen sink.
 
the only advantage I see Kensei has is if he’s able to lure Ulquiorra in CQC…..
There's no IF, Ulquiorra isn't fast enough to avoid this when even Stark couldn't avoid this happening with Kensei's peers.
Ulquiorra’s arsenal literally allows him to fight from a distance,
So does Starks, didn't stop him being forced into CQC with Love did it?
he’s gonna be flying around hurling multiple luz de la Luna at Kensei while spamming COs wearing Kensei down…..
You realize Kensei can put his mask on and use Ceros right? It's not like he has NO ranged options at all, never mind the fact R1 Ulquiorra is neither fast nor powerful enough to keep Kensei at bay in this way.
Kensei most certainly isn’t blitzing him with his almost nonexistent speed feats,
Doesn't need to "blitz" him, just needs to be too fast for him to get away from, which he most certainly is unless you're going to suggest Love is significantly faster than him based on nothing at all.
masked Shinji couldn’t even blitz a nerfed base Grimmjow and Shinji doesn’t seem like he’s much slower than Kensei,
A Masked Shinji who was very fucking obviously toying with Grimmjow. The man shrugged off a reiatsu crush that put non-nerfed Grimmjow on his knees, was able to damage Aizen and dodged a cheap shot from the man (Tousen) who previously blitzed Grimmjow. He did all that WITHOUT his mask by the way.

Grimmjow BARELY managing to not die against a fucking around Shinji is NOT the knock on Shinji that people think it is.
Also Shinji's feats are blatantly better than his peers so nah, Kensei doesn't scale to him.
meanwhile R1 Ulquiorra would certainly blitz res Grimmjow….
Would he? A Masked Ichigo who Grimmjow could still reliably land hits on, was able to react to R1 Ulquiorra (even if only instinctively). He'd certainly be faster but he isn't quite blitzing him.

Whereas the aforementioned Stark completely blitzed Ichigo and Kenpachi yet could not avoid Love and Rose.
unless Kensei has some moves I’m not remembering he’s losing stand
He is NOT losing at all.
It ONLY becomes debatable if we give Ulquiorra his R2 form, R1 Ulquiorra is getting murdered completely.
Kensei is certainly strong enough to fight him, maybe even to win,
There's no MAYBE.
but Ulquiorra seems more likely to win just via his position in the narrative.
Oh yeah the old "but he fought the main character" chestnut.

I mean so did Grimmjow but I don't see anyone claiming he'd beat Kensei. Ulquiorra's "position in the narrative" is just to be the guy who draws out the sum total of Ichigo's Hollow powers, ANY of the Espada above him could have accomplished this yet those same Espada struggled considerably with the Vaizards.

Position in the narrative is meaningless from a vs standpoint.
It doesn't hurt that Kensei's only feats are beating up a weaker version of Ichigo and losing to Wonderweiss.
H1 Ichigo would have pushed R1 Ulquiorra's shit in, just based on the fact his cero is actually a threat to Love. And yeah same with Wonderweiss who even in Base has better feats than Harribel, and was released by the time the Kensei fight ended.

Even if those were the only two feats he had, ignoring him stomping One Cheer Mask and his Zombie version putting the beatdown on Pepe, those + scaling to the other Captain Vaizards would be MORE THAN ENOUGH for him to STOMP R1 Ulquiorra outright.
 
eos deku's final best feat, is country levels, and that's him, using all of his powers, plus way slower than every notable oda piece char, kek


Deku's Final Smash Yield = 345.969 teratons

country+ level to high degree, huh? not bad, i was once again 98% correct, even without calcing it, kek

lazytheory, i will give you rep though, for actually bothering to read this fight though

psure

if you ever read my mid academia, psure you gonna like mostly only the todoroki fam (endeavor, dabi and shoto) cuz of their fam issues and char redemption they gon get, and maybe like few others like gran torino or all might, kek
 
I mean, I've watched Touma vs Accelerator, because I liked the concept of the fight whether I gave a damn about the series or not

It sounds more and more artificial, but I generally jive with "underdog overcoming the overwhelming favorite" bullshit

And I unironically like Shirou Emiya because exploring the psychotic side of heroism is fun to me

Still though, I'm not materializing time out of thin air. It'd require I randomly get hyper-fixated on the thought of reading for some reason to begin.
I'm currently reading it, but don't ask me to do calcs.
Wouldn't ever ask someone to do what I wouldn't anyway dude
 
reminder that I actively ruined someone's life by getting them into the series when it first started


road koon from a nnt mod, resigned his position even, after the massive decline in whatever ''quality'' had remained from the seven deadly frames, as the final arc had entered it's final act, what a way to end a friendship

Is there a good review/summary anywhere explaining how this series started off promising but became terrible? Because I'm morbidly curious.
 
What I liked about Anbu No Item is besides more Dark Side of AC content which is always fun, is getting to see how Mugino gets shaped into the character she is when introduced

Namely her neuroticism when her power as a Level 5 falls short because it’s only good for destruction and betrayal being an especially big landmine for her.

Depends. Are you willing to sit through the later half where fights go from formerly engaging spectacles of power and abilities to just getting dumbed down to whoever’s got the higher power level, literally, and almost every major ship consisting of an adult with a character looking no older than 10?

Even Escanor wasn’t enough to carry this shit. It was that bad
