(Furthermore, when he later recruits her to search\nfor Shinobu, she expresses no reservations about attempting to make contact\nwith a vampire.)\n\nLastly, regarding why vampirism would not be inherently alarming, recall that\nknowledge of aberrations is far from widespread, and not conferred\nautomatically to aberrations themselves. Anything Hachikuji would have heard\nabout aberration lore would be from Araragi himself, and there's no indication\nthat in-universe vampire _legends_ are any different (or even more cohesive)\nin some way that would clearly place them on top of the figurative food chain.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2022-08-05T14:42:31.760", "id": "67091", "last_activity_date": "2022-08-05T14:42:31.760", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "66722", "parent_id": "53325", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nThe short answer is no theoretical limit, but the quirk isn't insanely\noverpowered due to well designed limits.\n\nThis was the description of his quirk 'Double' at the start of Chapter 230,\n\n\n\nAs per the [wiki page](https://bokunoheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/Double):\n(emphasis mine)\n\n> Jin has a limit of creating only two clones at a time. However, because Jin\n> is able to copy himself and his copies also have access to Double, he is\n> **theoretically capable of producing infinite replicas of himself** by\n> letting his clones duplicate themselves further. This gives Jin the manpower\n> to realize a large task easily or several smaller ones at once, provided\n> that his clones cooperate with him. Tomoyasu Chikazoku claims that Double\n> can replicate even dead people.\n\nFrom what I see there are 2 limitations to the quirk:\n\n 1. The durability of the clones. Twice mentions that an injury equivalent to a broken bone will dissolve a clone, while the second copy is usually weaker.\n\n 2. The clones are autonomous. He can't really control them, only create them and detect their deaths. This _possibly_ prevents him from cloning any heroes or even villains who are much more powerful than himself. After all, he was deeply traumatized by his own clones almost killing him, and even after the current developments, I doubt he will be using the \"Infinite Doubles\" move as anything but a last resort.\n\nAlso an interesting observation, while I couldn't find any confirmation for\nit. The infinite limit seems to indicate that all of his clones (even those\ncreated by the clones) will have durability proportional to the original. I\ninitially thought it would be based on the clone which uses the ability, in\nwhich case the compounded penalties would force a mathematical limit after\nwhich the clones are way too easy to kill.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-06-23T12:32:12.443", "id": "53341", "last_activity_date": "2019-06-23T12:32:12.443", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "27657", "parent_id": "53338", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

We all know that Pegasus created the\nDuel Monster cards based on stone tablets he found in ancient Egypt.\nUnknowingly, Pegasus recreated the ritual battles that magicians and kings\nused to solve their conflicts, and turned it into a game of cards. It is noted\nthroughout each arc of the series that the duel monster spirits reside inside\nthe cards. Slifer (or Osiris in Japanese version), Ra and Obelisk where\nLITERAL Egyptian gods and these deities where being forced into the world by\npeople who where trying to design cards based on them. Soo against the gods\nwill, these people unknowingly where creating a vessel for the gods' spirit\nwhich they would now be bound to reside in. Needles to say, everyone who\nworked on designing the cards was either hurt or killed. Pegasus was also\ngoing to suffer the same fate but he survived the wrath of the gods only\nbecause he was shielded by the magic of his millennium eye. Some people\ncouldn't understand why Pegasus regretted creating the cards, but couldn't\ntear and destroy them. These people easily forget the part where the spirits\n(in this case gods) where directly connected to the cards. Destroying them\nwould mean that you are assaulting an actual deity and you risk bringing the\nwrath of the gods upon yourself. Soo Pegasus decided to seal them away. The\ncards have a will of their own. Especially the god cards.\n\nSoo let's talk about the strongest god card (At least in the anime), The\nWinged Dragon Of Ra. The first time Ra was shown being played, was when Odion\nused a fake version of the card. Keep in mind that the spirit of the real Ra,\nreside in the original card that was within Maryk and it was livid with anger\nwhen it was summoned trough a fake card. Which is why we don't see Ra clearly\nwhen it appeared in that duel. It was being disrespected by being forced on\nthe field trough another vessel. The wrath of Ra struck both Odion and Joey\nwith lightning and then the divine beast disappeared from the field. Odion and\nJoey survived, however the same cannot be said for the people who previously\ntried to use a fake card of Ra. It is shown in a flashback that whenever one\nof the minions of Maryk tried to summon Ra trough a fake card, the divine\nbeast would struck and kill the person who dares to do so. (I guess the show\nreally wanted to teach people that playing with fake cards is not ok XD )\n\nNow let's talk what happens when you play the real card. May Valentine managed\nto summon the winged dragon of Ra and she was not hurt when she did so.\nHowever, the god sensed that she was a nobody with no royal heritage, and so\nit came on the field in a sealed state in the form of a sphere. Ra wanted to\ntest if she was worthy to control it's power by forcing her to speak the\nancient chant written on the card. She couldn't, which is why even though Ra\nwas on May's side of the field, control of the monster switched to Maryk who\nknew how to read the ancient text. Meaning that only those who prove\nthemselves worthy, could use the power of a god. Later on in the series, Maryk\nsummoned Ra multiple times throughout the series, without the need to read the\nancient chant. However in the final face off against Atem, when Maryk summoned\nthe winged dragon of Ra for the last time before the game ended, Ra once again\nappeared in the sealed sphere mode, even though Maryk played Ra 2 times before\nthat during the same duel and he didn't need to say the chant up until this\npoint. This is a perfect example of how the divine beast has a mind of it's\nown and it will test it's owner to know if he is still worthy to wield it's\npower. What I realized right then and there was, that reading the chant is not\nonly necessary to prove if you are worthy to wield the power of the strongest\ngod card, but also a way to show your respect to the god. Now let's finally\nmove on to the duel with Yami Maryk and Yami Bakura. Yami Bakura was in\ncontrol during the duel and his aura was not that of a mere mortal. It is\npossible that Ra sensed this and deemed unnecessary to test Bakura. It is also\nworth noting that the soul of Maryk's good side was also there inside Bakura.\nSoo even if Ra did decide to test Bakura, the good side of Maryk would've\nhelped with the reading of the chant. It is worth mentioning for those who\ndidn't knew, that the chant in the dub and the chant in the sub sound\ncompletely different. And it's not because in dub they speak english and in\nsub they speak japanese. In the dub Maryk says the whole \"Great beast of the\nsky,please hear my cry\" to unleash Ra from his Sphere mode,however in the sub\nversion, Maryk literally mumbles words that no one could understand. The many\neffects of Ra are hidden inside the text of the chant. Which is why when Maryk\nuses the point to point transfer ability and instant attack, in the sub\nversion he mumbles a part of the ancient chant because the effect is hidden\nwithin it. While in the Dub version, Yami Maryk simple says what effects he is\ngoing to use. The good Maryk knew how to read the chant, but he was obviously\nnot smart enough to figure out the hidden effects in it. Which is why the good\nside of Maryk was soo surprised when he learned that Ra had more abilities.\nYami Maryk had all of the time he needed while he was sealed in the\nsubconscious of his good counterpart, to figure out the effects in the chant.\nHe also slowly but surely was manipulating the mind of his good counterpart,\ndistracting him with feelings of hate, thoughts of revenge and desire for\npower.\n\nBonus information: In Yu-Gi-Oh!GX, Industrial illusions created a new copy of\nthe winged dragon of ra, since once Atem went to the afterlife, he took the\noriginal god cards with him. It is not explained if there where any incidents\nduring the process of the creation of the card, but the company wanted to\nrecreate the card for testing purposes. The card was very much original and it\nserved as a new vessel for the spirit of the Winged Dragon of Ra. Franz, who\nwas a card designer working for Industrial Illusion, stole the copy of the\nwinged dragon of ra. He was able to create the only card capable of binding an\nEgyptian God against its will, \"Mound of the Bound Creator\". Which explains\nwhy Ra never came on the field in it's sphere mode. Franz could also use all\nof the abilities of Ra without chanting the anchient text. Due to being bound\nagainst it's will and unable to retaliate, Jaden could sense the sadness\ncoming out from the card. Later in the same duel, Jaden summoned the winged\ndragon of Ra on his field to defeat Franz. Whether it was because Jaden was\nthe reincarnation of the supreme king or because Ra wanted revenge on Franz,\nRa allowed Jaden to use it's power, without the need to speak the ancient\nchant.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-05-18T21:40:54.337", "id": "57603", "last_activity_date": "2020-10-23T10:33:47.770", "last_edit_date": "2020-10-23T10:33:47.770", "last_editor_user_id": "55782", "owner_user_id": "53369", "parent_id": "53425", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

The\nmanga/anime version of the Boros fight is a bit different than in the\nwebcomic, but since a proper fight with Garou has to date only occurred in the\nwebcomic we'll have to use the webcomic for both fights to put them on an even\nfooting; or at least \"more even\". I think there are more blows thrown by\nSaitama in the webcomic version, interestingly enough.\n\n## Boros vs. Saitama\n\n * chapter 38 page 06-07 —armor-breaking chest punch\n * chapter 38 page 15 —off-screen jump in fight, Boros has lost an arm; possibly many blows have been thrown, at least by Boros, as Saitama is quite a bit dustier than he seemed to be before\n * chapter 39 page 13 —running exchange of blows; some are obviously countering each other, others not so much\n * chapter 40 page 05 —chest punch\n * chapter 40 page 06 —normal punch combo reduces much of Boros to vapor (he regenerates)\n\nThe fight then ends with Saitama's next attack, a serious punch, with Boros\ndying.\n\nIt's hard to know exactly how many punches Saitama threw that weren't part of\nhis \"consecutive punches\"/\"combo\", due to that jump in the fight (the\nintervening pages involve the other heroes). But there's at least 3 normal\npunches landing a direct hit, a normal punch combo, and 4 or more\nmatched/countered attacks occurring during their running exchange. We are not\ngiven any clear indication that Boros ever dodged any of Saitama's blows, but\nhe does appear to at least counter some or survive having his attacks\ncountered (until the serious punch).\n\n## Garou vs. Saitama\n\n * chapter 88 page 08 — punch to face\n * chapter 88 page 13 — shoulder throw into the ground\n * chapter 89 page 07 — dodged punch to face\n * chapter 89 page 10 — dodged punch to chest\n * chapter 89 page 11 — dodged kick to chest\n * chapter 89 page 12 — dodged two punches\n * chapter 90 page 08 — survives a normal punch combo\n * chapter 90 pages 12-13 — two-handed normal punch combo; gets overwhelmed but no real damage (might have deflected them all before escaping)\n * chapter 91 page 05 — avoids getting arm grabbed\n * chapter 91 pages 06-07 — escapes getting slammed into ground\n * chapter 91 page 11 — survives direct punch\n * chapter 91 page 13 — survives direct punch to face\n * chapter 92 page 09 — gut punch in first monster form\n * chapter 92 pages 11-12 — Loses arm to serious headbutt, regenerates it\n * chapter 92 pages 14-15 — punched again, transformations start to undo\n\nAt this point Saitama says Garou's getting weaker and running on fumes, and\nhe's basically just scolding him. So the following hits can probably be\ndiscarded, but I'll list them for completeness.\n\n * chapter 92 page 17 — slapped around, punched in face;\n * chapter 92 page 20 — punched again because he won't shut up\n * chapter 93 page 09 — downward hammer punch to head out of annoyance again\n\nThat's a normal punch combo, a two-handed normal punch combo, a serious\nheadbutt, and 14 or so other punches or kicks, plus a few other moves, before\nSaitama declares that he's started getting weaker and just starts slapping him\naround and scolding him.\n\nGarou dodges or counters many of the attacks, with dodges indicated above. For\ndirect hits: 5 punches and a slam connected, a normal punch combo connected\nseemingly in full (at least 14+ impact points from what I can count, but many\nof them overlap almost completely with others making it hard to be sure), and\na two-handed normal punch combo overwhelmed him (he was doing a flurry of his\nown) but it's not clear if anything actually connected.\n\n## Analysis\n\nUltimately there's going to be some opinions here as there are some mitigating\nconcerns that aren't addressed in the canon. Of principle importance to me is:\nwas Boros capable of dodging any of Saitama's attacks? We don't see him do so,\nbut Boros was also clearly relying on his regeneration, so it's conceivable it\nwas possible for him to do so but he simply elected not to because he could\njust regenerate the damage.\n\nMy personal opinion: Garou wins this comparison. Here's my list of reasons\nwhy.\n\n * Unlike with Boros, we do definitively see Garou reading Saitama's movements, dodging and countering many of them.\n * Garou suffers several direct blows without taking lethal damage.\n * Garou doesn't lose any body parts to the direct hits until a serious headbutt.\n * Garou survives a serious series attack, whereas Boros dies to the only one Saitama uses. (Saitama also uses a serious table flip during the Garou fight, though this was not really intended to do damage so much as to show off and make Garou fight more seriously.)\n * Garou survives two combination attacks, whereas Boros only deals with one.\n * The total number of attacks we see directed at Garou is higher, though to be fair to Boros there's an undisclosed number of them that happen off-screen; could be zero, could be a whole bunch, but the rest of the fight suggests it's probably towards the low end.\n\nAs for word of god statements, ONE has said a melee Boros vs. Garou would be a\nhell of a fight. Many people take this as saying that Boros and Garou are of\nsimilar power levels. However their fighting styles and capabilities are\nvastly different. Garou uses skill and technique to control fights and strike\nat weak points and openings, whereas Boros relies on overwhelming power and\nregeneration. Boros also has ranged attacks.

He's had a\nlot of blood on his hands and arms, bleeding notably out of them at least\nsince deflecting Death Gatling's attack; we also see he's still rupturing\nblood all along his arms when he squares up against Bang.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3wdIC.jpg)\n\nThe animation is slightly misleading after this, as you still see a far shot\nof him with white hair after this before the close-up reveal, nor does it show\nany color changes while he's doing it. I think this was all done for the\npurpose of the dramatic reveal being a dramatic reveal. There's no other\nreason for wiping his hands on his hair other than to transfer blood to his\nhair, either strictly for a makeshift cleaning of his hands or, more likely,\nbecause he knows it serves to make him seem more monstrous.\n\nIn the webcomic, by chapter 82 he ends up a full-on horror freak show from the\nbattle damage alone.\n\n> And before he's even resolved his battles with the S-class or started\n> fighting Saitama.

Hazy memory. Another character's memory of this person is unclear, so their face is not shown. This has actually been done in _Nisekoi_ and is actually a major driving point of the plot, since Raku Ichijo can't remember the face of the girl he made the promise to. In flashbacks, the girl is depicted without showing her face.\n 2. Focus. This character is not the current focus of the story, so their face is not shown. I saw a good example of this in the _Watamote_ anime, at the end of episode 8. When Kii-Chan is going home, she is in the car with her mother, but her mother's face is not shown. The focus is on Kii-Chan sharing her experiences for the day, and her mother is just there so she has someone to talk to. Her mother is not the focus of the story.\n 3. Veneration. The character is too important to show, or showing them might somehow reduce their mystique. For historical or religious figures, one might not want to show their face in order to glorify them. For instance, figures like Saint Anselm, Oda Nobunaga, and the Buddha might have their faces obscured to show that they are too great to be depicted.\n\nI suspect the case of Ichijo's mother is a combination of all three.\n\n 1. As previously mentioned, _Nisekoi_ made extensive use of hazy memory in it's story. It's unclear what exactly Ichijo's relationship with his mother is like, but given she doesn't appear in most of the story, it's possible Ichijo hasn't seen her in a long time, and thus his memory of her is hazy. Likewise, the other characters haven't seen her in a long time, if at all, and thus her face is not depicted in flashbacks.\n 2. The focus on the scene where she returns may be more on the information Chitoge is getting from Raku's mother rather than his mother herself. The character is less important than the revelations she's sharing and Chitoge's reactions to these revelations.\n 3. The veneration point, I think, is the most important one here. Ichijo's mother is the author of the _Zawze in Love_ children's novel, which is so important throughout the series. This book has almost mythic importance to the children, and they act out the events in the book through the keys and locket they have. As the author of this book, Raku's mother is a highly important person. Depicting her may lead to disappointment, as she would lose some of her mystique, and that in turn could make the children's book lose mystique. In order to maintain the mystique around her, and thus preserve the mystique of the _Zawze in Love_ story, the author decided not to depict her appearance.\n\nAs mentioned in the other answer, a character's face might also not be shown\ndue to constraints. Designing a character takes some time and effort.\nShortcuts might be made for less important characters and background\ncharacters to get the manga out on time. I personally don't think this is the\ncase for Ichijo's mother, but it is a point worth considering.\n\nThough not related to _Nisekoi_ , here's a quotation from the author of _A\nSilent Voice_ , Yoshitoki Oima, on choosing not to draw the face of a\ndifferent character, which will give a little insight on why sometimes\ncharacters' faces aren't drawn in.\n\n> Her face doesn't appear in the manga because I thought that would make her\n> character stand out more. Once you draw a character's face and expressions,\n> that takes on a certain meaning and it affects the story.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-06-04T18:42:06.423", "id": "57808", "last_activity_date": "2023-02-25T18:14:19.780", "last_edit_date": "2023-02-25T18:14:19.780", "last_editor_user_id": "19307", "owner_user_id": "19307", "parent_id": "53617", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

Is the Specialist Nen ability tied to the eyes of the Kurta Clan or is it unique to Kurapika?\n\nI don't think this is answered sufficiently. Kurapika's Nen ability triggers\nwhen his eyes turn red but it is not clear if the Nen ability would be present\nfor other Kurta clan members. I don't believe it would. Nevertheless, there\nare other enhanced abilities ascribed to this state since childhood that are\ntied to Kurta race. While his eyes were scarlet, Kurapika could fight several\ngrown men even as a young child.\n\n 2. Are normal Kurta scarlet eye abilities transferable via transplant?\n\nI don't think so but this answer is not fully clear. The scarlet eyes seem to\nbe a visible \"symptom\" of a more complicated physical process. Essentially,\nthe Kurtas experience a dramatic increase in blood flow (among other things).\nThe increased blood flow through the eyes (whether realistic or not) causes\nthe irises to turn red. As the process is not caused by the eyes, there is no\nreason to think transferring the eyes would cause this process. While I think\na person who can get increased blood flow to the eyes might have those eyes\nturn red in the same way, that would not cause any other abilities.\n\n 3. Would eye/body part transplant transfer Nen abilities?\n\nNen can be stored in inanimate objects (as severed body parts would be) so the\neyes would certainly contain Nen. However, Nen is \"owned\" by its user even\nafter their death. I don't see that you would get the ownership of that Nen\n(much less the ability) just because you have their flesh. The closest\ncounterpoint to this is the Chimera Ants. While consuming Nen users results in\nAnts with the potential for Nen abilities, I don't think they get the specific\nability of their source. It is personal to them. If I am mistaken please let\nme know, but all ant Nen abilities I can remember are unique to them. As they\nhave memories of their past selves, I can imagine they may intentionally work\nto get the same ability but that is not the same thing.\n\nSo in my eyes, all parts of this question point to \"probably not but not\ndefinitively no\". Unless i was going blind I would not risk it but a rich\nblind man could do this. This would be an awesome character specific arc for\nKurapika.
