That is your opinion, my friend.
And it is the correct opinion.

It's doubly confusing because even in the OG seasons, the only characters who ever died were Digimon and they came back to life by the nature of how Digimon work, which is true of basically every Digimon season except Tamers. The only true human deaths (that weren't in flashback) were both villains in Oikawa and Kurata.I don't understand this at all...
What do people mean that there is no stakes if no one dies? That's not how stakes work and you can make stakes work in different ways. Saitama nor Mob ever truly gets hurt when they fight, not even against their most powerful foes(Mob at worst had his arm messed up against the True CLAW leader but even that is basically gone before the next arc) yet the stakes was a hell of alot more than them getting hurt.
It really is a childish fashion to believe the only way to have stakes is for the characters to be hurt and killed like:
Etc, etc.
- Having loved ones be killed or hurt
- Having the city you protect be destroyed
- Having someone take something precious from you(Doesn't even need to be a person, an inanimate device is enough)
Like Kamen Rider Build had the main Cast only truly drop off at the end of the series and most of the stakes wasn't even the characters dying but everyone else and/or the villains getting closer to their goals.
I think people put too much on the characters getting hurt or dying = stakes which explains why storylines are such shit these days.
“Batman can’t kill is canon. And I’m like, ‘okay, the first thing I wanna do when you say that is I wanna see what happens’. And they go, ‘well don’t put him in a situation where he has to kill someone’,” Snyder explained to Rogan.
“You’re protecting your god in a weird way, right? You’re making your god irrelevant if he can’t be in that situation. He has to now deal with that. If he does do that what does that mean? What does it tell you, does he stand up to it? Does he survive that as a god? As your god, can Batman survive that?”
The fact that ANYBODY tried to leave out Pikachu when discussing recognizable anime characters is insane.Which character is the most recognizable in anime.
Like seeing even a body part you know exactly who they arewww.fanverse.org
And no the "but Pokemon's a game so that's kinda cheating" thing is just nonsense. It wasn't the games that made Pikachu the face of the franchise, or quite possibly THE most recognizable anime character there is.
Goku is pretty much his only real competition for that position, it's almost certainly between the two of them.
Poor Raichu, got fucked over as badly as Zeromaru/Veedramon line did in Digimon.Pikachu is so loved and so well known people literally tend to forget Raichu, his actual evolution, exists
It got so damn bad with GameFreak doing everything they can to keep Pikachu relevant while Raichu got fucking nothing, they finally relented... and gave Raichu an Alolan Evolution form that ultimately doesn't benefit Raichu anywhere else but Sun and Moon
Meanwhile Pikachu then gets a Gigamax transformation and Raichu still gets fucking nothing
As a Raichu enjoyer, man fuck Pikachu, fuck him forever

IV gets all the love. When’s my boy III going to get some good new Chronomaly support?
Poor Raichu, got fucked over as badly as Zeromaru/Veedramon line did in Digimon.
V-Tamers actually came BEFORE the anime and there Greymon was just a jobber, but nah the anime comes and Agumon gets top billing and suddenly he is in everything they can cram him into.
Then V-Mon comes around (designed to literally be a cuter, smaller version of Veedramon) and suddenly HIS line is the original PURE version and the Veedramon line is just a sub-species, despite the fact that it existed first.
Ulforce still gets respect but that's only because he's a Royal Knight, meanwhile V-Mon gets not only a Royal Knight but also their fucking founder for an evolution.
Feels bad for Raichu and Veedramon fans, it really does.

I know, hence why I raised the question if there’s anything else that uses an obscure figure as Anna Sprengel.Not really? It's kinda weird as most franchises surprisingly doesn't touch on the occult as much as you think. Even the most well known, Aliester Crowley, is not even remotely used despite how infamous he is and it's not like his family stops people from using him in any way(FGO explicitly has that issue with 2 Servants that are coming to NA this year precisely due to their families and estate(George Milines and J.Edgar Hoover) making saying who they are impossible).
So I guess for most authors, they just get glazed over.
