[ { "body": "\n\nThere are a variety of races in the story although the most prominent are the\nones who played a large role in the first holy war 3000 years prior to the\nstory. It is mentioned by Merlin in chapter 182 each of the sins hails from a\ndifferent tribe and that was interesting since aside from Diane they all\nmostly appear human. So far in the manga (I've never watched the anime), as of\nchapter 334 there appear to be:\n\n# Humans\n\nThe most common race on earth possessing average lifespan, magical prowess,\netc. Nothing of note aside from the fact that most of the world is under human\ncontrol in the story. Escanor is the human member of the sins\n\n# Giants\n\nTowering humanoids with an affinity to the earth and can commune with it\nthrough dance in a unique magic called Creation, strong like their size would\nimply and much longer lived than humans, Diane of the sins is one of them\n\n# Fairies\n\nBeings whom resemble children with wings for their entire extended lifespans,\nthey possess various magical abilities such as flight, transformation and the\nability to sense pure intentions, King (Harlequin) of the sins is their leader\n\n# Goddesses\n\nAngelic beings with incredible power whom oppose the demon clan. Can be\ndistinguished by their feathery wings and light/healing magic, they sealed the\ndemon clan away 3000 years ago and renounced their physical forms and thus\ntheir ability to affect the world. Elizabeth was a goddess initially but was\ncursed to reincarnate as a human and die for eternity (she got better)\n\n# Demons\n\nAnother ancient race of powerful beings who have 7 hearts and... demonic\nappearances. Opposed the goddess clan until 3000 years ago when they lose the\nfirst holy war and are sealed away. They possess the ability to consume souls,\nuse magic with a darkness attribute and can usually fly. Meliodas the leader\nof the sins is a demon who usually suppresses his nice face tattoos.\n\nAside from the \"5 races\" commonly mentioned there exist many races who've been\nseen in lesser degrees:\n\n# Beastmen\n\nBeings who resemble humans with bestial traits although they are discriminated\nagainst by humans, apparently there are many kinds but the only ones to hail\nfrom this race as I recall are Zhivago, Ban's father figure and Zhivago's son,\nTherion who are werefoxes (Ch 139). In Zhivago's case he seems to be able to\ntake on human form at will but is faster and stronger in his true form\n\n# Vampires\n\nPale bloodsuckers who draw strength from moonlight, they are not demons but\nwere subservient to them before rebelling prior to the end of the holy war.\nThe demon king ordered Zeldris to exterminate them but Zeldris, unwilling to\ndo so instead seals them away, they awaken 12 year prior to the story\n(Vampires of Edinburgh) and are mostly killed by the sins. Gelda, Zeldris'\nlove interest is one of their royalty\n\n# Celestials\n\nDescendants of the Goddess clan who have the same feathery wings but are not\nas powerful. They're from the movie (Prisoners of the sky) which I have not\nseen\n\n# Merlin's race\n\nThe loli witch of the sins who idolized goddess Elizabeth 3000 years ago and\nuses transformation magic to not look 10. She hails from Belialuin a place\nfamous for its wizards which did not take sides during the first holy war. She\nand her father are of a yet unnamed race (if we continue with the 1 sin per\nrace thing) although manga spoilers if not caught up\n\n> the next arc seems like it will feature the currently dead Arthur which will\n> probably also clear up some of the mystery around Merlin\n\nI'm unclear as to what qualifies as an intelligent species since one of the\nmain characters is an enchanted doll and another's race doesn't generally get\ncounted as intelligent, either way a few technicalities\n\n# Enchanted doll\n\nLong ago one of the 10 commandments was imprisoned by refusing to fight in the\nfirst holy war, this demon, Gowther made an enchanted doll to be his conduit\nto the world. This doll, also named Gowther outlives his creator and\neventually joins the sins, he's basically human unless disenchanted at which\npoint he resembles a mannequin\n\n# Immortal\n\nBan was born and is currently human but during his initial tenure with the\nsins he had already drank from the fountain of youth and become immortal, most\nwill still consider him human but whoever said 1 sin per race I guess didn't.\n\n# (Talking) Pig\n\nHawk, his brother Wild and his mother share the ability to carry conversation\nwith other sentient beings.

[ { "body": "\n\nShort answer: Escanor can remain in his (skinny) nighttime form during the day\ndue to his glasses, a magic item given to him by Merlin which allows him to\nsuppress his powers.\n\nLonger answer: In regards to why Escanor would opt to stay in night form\nduring the day we need to understand him better. Escanor's ability is called\nsunlight, during the night, Escanor is in his true form and has the lowest\npower level recorded in the series (15) with a timid and cowardly personality\nto match but as night turns to day he gradually bulks up and his demeanor\nbecomes arrogant or \"prideful\" which continues until he reaches a peak for one\nminute at high noon before slowly weakening until nightfall. While his power\nis active his physical might and endurance is unparalleled, he can scorch\nenemies merely by standing near them and generate a pocket sun to fling at\npeople. Escanor was born with this power and has made it known he has despised\nit his entire life because it has caused him to hurt the people he cares about\nand be called a monster by everyone else. The power it grants him is immense\nbut is not without drawbacks, his nighttime personality is more or less his\nactual personality but he cannot suppress the change in persona that comes\nover him when his power activates. In addition, while the ability is powerful\nit was never intended for humanity to wield,\n\n> Sunlight is the power of Mael, one of the 4 Archangels of the Goddess clan\n> whose power somehow manifested in Escanor\n\nas a result, Escanor drains his lifespan due to the strain put on him by the\npower. Finally, he's supposed to be laying low, it is made apparent in Chapter\n148 when Jericho stumbles into Escanor's bar that he hasn't gotten the news\nthat the sins' name has been cleared of their supposed crime from 10 years\nago. When Garlan knocks Escanor out and his glasses off only to find his\nsunlight powered form the next morning it allows Meliodas and Merlin to easily\ntrack him down by detecting his overwhelming aura, a task that would've been\ndrastically quicker if he'd been activating sunlight everyday.\n\nI could not find the chapter the magic glasses were explained, although in\nchapter 162 right before Gloxinia and Dolor's tournament Gowther lands on\nEscanor shattering his glasses which causes him to shriek that 1. they were a\ngift from Merlin and 2. without them he... (he gets impaled by Gloxinia before\nhe completes his sentence).

We get a quick demonstration of the power of the avatar state\nwhen we see it invoked by Avatar Kuruk to bend a gigantic wave, Avatar\nYangChen to cause a gale force gust, the fire nation avatar before YangChen to\ncause a volcano to erupt, etc.\n\nTechnically, you would be right to say anyone who has mastered bending their\nnative element could create such feats. I don't believe the term bending\nmaster has ever been formally defined in the show, though evidently it implies\ngreat skill in bending. Whether that implies the ability to bend X massive\namount of the element at once or perform an incredibly intricate move is not\nsaid and there is no hard cutoff. It evidently is opposite that of a novice,\nthough, who'd be getting a feel for the fundamentals by pushing/pulling their\nfirst ripple of water or generating a small puff of flame, so it makes sense a\ndemonstration of how much of an element could be bent at once is a signal of\nmastery.\n\nThe thing is that like the martial arts, the bending is based in proficiency\nthat gets better with experience and time. People continuously get better with\npractice but those skills do not necessarily scale linearly; e.g. bend rock ->\nbend bigger rock, Bumi at the ripe age of 112 has the ability to earthbend by\ntilting his head.\n\nMastery is more or less just a sign of proficiency or title of respect and\nthere is no upper cap on it. Eventually a waterbender may achieve the skill\nneeded to bend a wave like Kuruk, but the skill being demonstrated in the\nscene is the ability to tap into, as Roku says, skills, powers and experiences\nof all past lives of the Avatar. The ability to use skills yet to be learned\nfrom scrolls yet to be read in one's current lifetime.\n\nIt is nice that the scale of the feats shown to Aang are greater than any\nsingle feat by a non-Avatar otherwise, but the true special quirk of the\nAvatar is not the mastery of one's own bending element. The thing that any\nrandom bender cannot do but the Avatar can is bend more than one element.\nKuruk is shown bending a massive wave, but could have just as easily bent a\ngale force wind or a giant fissure because we see previous Avatars doing so.\n\nI've only watched Avatar: The Last Airbender, never Legend of Korra, and am\nnot familiar with most of the comics that exist around the series, perhaps a\nbetter answer is given elsewhere.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-12-10T16:40:26.053", "id": "56096", "last_activity_date": "2019-12-10T18:21:43.513", "last_edit_date": "2019-12-10T18:21:43.513", "last_editor_user_id": "36222", "owner_user_id": "51043", "parent_id": "56093", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 }, { "body": "\n\nNo, masters are different from regular benders.

In his grief Meliodas' demonic powers manifest and when he next\ncomes to Danafor is nothing but a crater.\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hsPv3.png)\n\n# Ban, the Fox's sin of greed:\n\n### Destruction of the Fairy King's forest, drinking the fountain of youth and\nkilling its guardian\n\nCovered in side story 1, 20 years prior to the story a fully human 23 year old\nBan makes his way to the Fairy King's forest seeking the fountain of youth\naccording to the stories told to him by his father figure, the werefox\nZhivago. Ban doesn't really care about the fountain that much but feels the\nimmortality it provides might give him enough time to find something worth\nliving for. He gives up on drinking it when Elaine tells him the forest will\ndie if he does. Ban and Elaine grow closer during this time as Ban finds\nsomeone who doesn't instantly hate him and Elaine finds someone whose company\nshe enjoys. The two are making plans to elope when a giant demon attacks the\nFairy King's forest and mortally injures both of them. Ban urges Elaine to\nsave herself with the fountain of youth but Elaine instead gives it to Ban\nmouth to mouth who obliterates the demon before saying goodbye to the first\nthing that made his life not suck.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rDlJT.png)\n\n# King (Harlequin), the Bear's sin of sloth:\n\n### Allowing the murder of countless innocent humans despite interracial\ntreaty\n\nCovered in side story 2, long ago humanity made a peace treaty with the\nfairies of the fairy king's forest. 700 years ago King's best friend, Hellbram\namong others were captured by humans who sought fairy wings to make medicine\nthat supposedly extends human lives. King abandons his duties as protector of\nthe forest of the fairy king to rescue his friend but gets surprised with a\nhard knock to the head by the leader of the fake merchants and loses his\nmemories. Diane finds him passed out on a riverbank and the two become friends\nfor 500 years until one fateful night when they see flames coming from the\nhuman town near them. Harlequin goes into town alone to witness the aftermath\nof a massacre in which all the humans were killed via slashes to the back\nreminiscent of a fairy with its wings pulled out. King confronts the\nperpetrator of the massacre who is the same false merchant who knocked him out\ncenturies prior, his memories returning King realizes the merchant is now\nactually his friend Hellbram (who killed the false merchant) in disguise.\nHaving been broken by watching humans whom he previously idolized kill his\nfriends for profit Hellbram has been waging a one-man genocidal campaign\nagainst humanity for 500 years while King has been amnesiac. King reluctantly\nputs his friend down and wipes Diane's memory before turning himself in for\nHellbram's crimes, feeling despair for having not realized the ordeals his\nfriend had gone through while he was gone.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/52xAL.png)\n\n# Diane, the Serpent's sin of envy:\n\n### Murder of Matrona, ally of Liones and 330 holy knights\n\nAs explored in side story 3, in the years prior to joining the sins Diane was\nbeing trained to become a warrior chief by her mentor Matrona, chief of a\ntribe of giants whom often served as mercenaries for the Kingdom of Liones. At\none point the pair were hired by a large group of holy knights of Liones in\norder to defeat savages but were betrayed when Gannon, leader of the holy\nknights admits there are no savages and his true goal was to slay them for\nfame and glory. Diane, a staunch pacifist refuses to fight and Matrona gets\nshot by a poisonous bolt intended for Diane. As she lies dying in Diane's arms\nMatrona chides Diane to be stronger before impaling most of the holy knights\ntrying to kill them with earthen spikes. Matrona is pronounced dead and the\nsurviving holy knights twist the facts to state Diane poisoned her mentor out\nof jealousy before killing 330 of the knights to cover up the crime.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/7fY7Z.png)\n\n# Gowther, the Goat's sin of lust:\n\n### Attempted rape and Murder of Nadja, Crown Princess of Liones\n\nExplored in side story 4, Gowther (the enchanted doll) awakens beneath the\nroyal castle of Liones having been dormant for the 3000 years since his\ncreator's last great feat of magic and death. He is found by Nadja, princess\nof Liones, sister of the current king Bartra who was wandering around the\ncellar in secret since she has never been allowed outside due to her weak\nconstitution. She faints when Gowther, trying to explain he is a doll tears\nhis chest and shows her the artificial heart given to him by his creator,\nGowther (the demon). Bartra brings Gowther into the castle as a maid so Nadja\nwon't have to keep visiting the cellar and Gowther isn't left alone where they\nenact many of the events in Nadja's swashbuckling adventure story. Nadja's\nconstitution continues to deteriorate but she assures Gowther that his\nexistence as a doll doesn't mean he has any less of a heart than she does. She\neventually passes away peacefully, content with her life and Gowther unable to\naccept it or understand better attempts to put his artificial heart into her\nchest to resurrect her. The commotion brings the guards to her room where they\nbear witness to the grisly scene and sentence him to death\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/s998o.png)\n\n# Escanor, the Lion's sin of pride:\n\n### Widescale destruction of property, Gravely injuring numerous holy knights\n\nEscanor's past is detailed in side story 5 as well as Ch 169. Escanor was born\nthe second son of the King of Castellio, he grew up bullied by his elder\nbrother Draymond for his cowardly nature until one day when he awakened\nSunlight and broke his brother's arm. Terrified of the monstrous form bestowed\nupon him by the former magic of an Archangel, the kingdom decides to have the\nchild killed. A woman named Rosa helps him escape by boat at which point he is\nleft to fend for himself in Liones. He is treated as a freak to be hunted down\nin Liones as well until Merlin and Meliodas track him down to make him the\nfinal and youngest member of the sins. He tries to run away from the group\njust before dawn fearing his Sunlight empowered self will get them all killed\nbut is stopped by Merlin who finds his constitution interesting. Meliodas\ntaunts him as dawn breaks and gets punched into Ban causing Escanor to flee\nthinking he killed them. He destroys a mountain hoping to overuse his powers\nand kill himself as he never wanted his power which always pushes people away\nfrom him. Meliodas comes back around and challenges him to a brawl at noon in\nwhich he uses assault mode and has Escanor at his mercy in one hit. Meliodas\ntells him that he may hate himself but the life he lives was gifted to him and\ncan be taken just as easily if he doesn't want it, Escanor chooses bear with\nthe self loathing and live life to its fullest.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8bY17.png)\n\n# Merlin, the Boar's sin of gluttony:\n\n### ???\n\nWhatever her crime was has yet to be revealed although she may not even have\none. Note that there are currently only 5 side story chapters detailing the\ncrimes of the sins and if there is another it would probably be Merlin's. In\nCh 182 King Bartra of Liones whose prophetic powers have shown him the sins\nwill be the guardians of Liones meets Merlin for the first time who has\nalready selected a band of seven for the task including herself and the new\nholy knight of Liones, Meliodas. Perhaps he has simply never heard of her\ntrial but it somewhat seems she signs on just to help fulfill the prophecy.\n\n[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XP0W2.png)\n\nHaving gone through their crimes it can be noted most of the sins have been\nabsolved of crimes based on bogus pretenses except for Meliodas, Escanor and\npossibly Merlin of the two we know about Escanor was mostly acting in self\ndefense. Meliodas obliterating a kingdom while not conscious was a pretty\ngrave crime.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-12-11T09:04:15.537", "id": "56103", "last_activity_date": "2019-12-11T09:04:15.537", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "51043", "parent_id": "56101", "post_type": "answer", "score": 7 } ]

In the flashback where Polnareff first found\nout about what happens when Silver Chariot has the Stand-Arrow, we can see\nthat after taking the Arrow from Silver Chariot Requiem away again, the Stand\ntransforms back into it's former normal self. So I'd say that even in the case\nof Polnareff not being able to control his Requiem-Stand anymore, he still\n_is_ a Stand-User. Also, the reason why he was able to pick the Arrow up was\nbecause his Stand was already active and the effect of the Arrow (your Stand\nattacking you) still happens as we can see with Silver Chariot Requiem running\ntowards him after picking up the Arrow.\n\n# Polnareff took over the Turtle's Stand\n\nThe second case why he can still see Stands is because the Turtle (aka. Coco\nJumbo) was a Stand-User and Polnareff's soul got transferred into the Turtle.\nAt the end we also see that Coco Jumbo's Stand \"Mr. President\" is still active\nbecause we see Trish getting transferred inside the Turtle just like before\nthe Silver Chariot Requiem incident.

Do you wish to know whether, for example, a given S-Class\nhero would be able to withstand a gun-shot at point-blank range, or if they\ncould conceivably deflect or endure firearms in some way ? I'd lean towards\nthe latest definition, since you mentioned Zombieman ; and Zombieman _most\ndefinitely is shredded_ by gun-fire, even though he can easily regenerate.\nLet's look at all known S-Class heroes :\n\n * **[17 - Puri Puri Prisoner](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Puri-Puri_Prisoner)** : As the weakest S-Class hero, Puri Puri Prisoner probably is vulnerable to firearms, even though he possesses superhuman durability. However, he was visibly hurt by Freehugger's spikes ( _Chapter 76_ ), and I wouldn't put Freehugger's damage output above a firearm. Puri Puri Prisoner has evolved since, and might be able to withstand bullets with **Angel ☆ Bristle Armor** or to deflect them with **Angel ☆ Pitter-Patter**.\n\n * **[16 - Tank Top Master](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Tanktop_Master)** : Although Tank Top Master ... tanked several of Garou's strikes, he ended up pretty badly hurt. I do not think he can withstand gunshots despite his inhuman strength.\n\n * **[15 - Metal Bat](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Bad)** : Metal Bat's forte actually is his durability. He fought against Elder Centipede and was thrown into buildings, yet wasn't fazed by the ordeal. His fighting spirit actively reinforces his durability as the fight goes on. Moreover, he can move and fight just fine even while bleeding profusely and having several broken bones. Even if he's vulnerable to gunfire, depending on the wound, Metal Bat can probably endure the pain and continue fighting.\n\n * **[14 - Genos](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Genos)** : Genos is made of literal metal. He's most likely fine against gunfire, though bigger calibers (anti-tank shells for example) may pierce his armor.\n\n * **[13 - Flashy Flash](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Flashy_Flash)** : Flashy Flash is very durable, being able to fight 2 Dragon-level monsters at once without taking significant damage. However, his best asset is his speed ; and he clearly goes _much_ faster than bullets. In the manga, we saw him complete a whole fight before a destroyed bridge had time to crumble ( _Chapters 95 - 96_ ). In the webcomic, Flashy Flash can also perform an offensive combination in 0.01 seconds. So this fine ninja would just avoid gunfire altogether.\n\n * **[12 - Watchdog Man](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Watchdog_Man)** : Undefeated by monsters and able to utterly crush Garou while toying with him, Watchdog Man boasts impressive speed. However, since we know very little about this furry hero, we do not know if he would fare well against bullets. Given his strength level, I would argue he probably has a solution. \n\n * **[11 - Superalloy Darkshine](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Superalloy_Darkshine)** : Described as having the \"most resilient defense in the hero world\", Superalloy Darkshine probably is barely tickled by bullets. Destrochloridium's drills, described as \"strong as steel\", broke upon striking Superalloy Darkshine. The hero can also _shimmer_ , a mysterious ability which lets him reflect incoming attacks outright.\n\n * **[10 - Pig God](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Pig_God)** : As you described yourself, Pig God is impervious to gunfire. He simply absorbs bullets within his fat without withstanding damage. He also has an accelerated healing factor, meaning any damage would be quickly resorbed.\n\n * **[9 - Drive Knight](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Drive_Knight)** : Just like Genos, Drive Knight is a cyborg -- a more advanced one, at that. We do not know his upper limit but Drive Knight should be fine against the majority of gun-fire.\n\n * **[8 - Zombieman](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Zombieman)** : Zombieman gets absolutely shredded by regular gunfire, but can easily regenerate the damage.\n\n * **[7 - King](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/King)** : King is even less resilient than a regular human. King dies instantly against gunfire.\n\n * **[6 - Metal Knight](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Bofoi)** : His various robots are all armored, and much like Drive Knight and Genos, can most likely withstand most firearms. His human form, however, goes down like anybody else.\n\n * **[5 - Child Emperor](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Child_Emperor)** : Being a regular child (albeit able to shield himself against heavy blows), Child Emperor probably fares badly against all firearms. However, his many gadgets and seemingly-automated defense systems most likely have built-in countermeasures against firearms.\n\n * **[4 - Atomic Samurai](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Kamikaze)** : Kamikaze's physical durability is immense, being able to withstand a barrage from the almighty Black Sperm. However, much like Flashy Flash, his main asset is his ludicrous speed ; Atomic Samurai can move faster than other characters can perceive and shred them into miniscule particles in the blink of an eye. He would certainly slash down incoming bullets.\n\n * **[3 - Bang](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Bang)** : Bang has been shown to be even faster than Atomic Samurai, outrunning him while escaping Boros' crashing ship. He should thus easily be able to deflect or avoid bullets too.\n\n * **[2 - Tatsumaki](https://onepunchman.fandom.com/wiki/Tatsumaki)** : As the most powerful known S-Class hero to date, Tatsumaki boasts catastrophically power psychic powers. Most notably, she is perpetually surrounded by a psychic shield protecting her from every conceivable form of harm. That forcefield has been shown to withstand gravity increased 300 times, and a full-power heat blast from Orochi, King of Monsters. In both those cases, Tatsumaki suffered virtually no damage. Bullets are child's play for her.\n\nSo here's a full breakdown ! Since S-Class heroes have been never shown facing\nfirearms, we can only guess how they would respond to such a threat.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-05-12T22:58:32.757", "id": "57532", "last_activity_date": "2020-05-12T22:58:32.757", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "45633", "parent_id": "56226", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

You\ncan see it as an advanced puppetry technique which entirely forgoes chakra\nthreads. Let's take it step by step :\n\n 1. **Kabuto performs open-heart surgery to induce a pulse.** Through unexplained means, Kabuto opens the thoracic cavity on a corpse. Then, he manages to jump-start the heart and create a continuous pulse. Maybe he's using a technological implement similar to a pacemaker ; perhaps does he use advanced chakra surgery techniques to recreate and maintain a pulse. Either way, the heart starts pumping blood again.\n 2. **Kabuto injects chakra within the corpse to control it from afar.** In essence, this is a forbidden, unethical puppetry technique which manipulates bodies from the inside. If I had to guess the exact inner workings of the technique, I would say Kabuto injects chakra within the victim's bloodstream, and manipulates that chakra to use the victim as a puppet. Either way, Kabuto needs to stay close to the puppet to keep manipulating it. He has also been shown to stay still while controlling the corpse ; and he can only control one at a time, meaning this particular puppetry technique demands high concentration.\n 3. **Kabuto stitches the body back up and performs additionnal surgery as needed.** Kabuto often performs cosmetic surgery to disguise the puppet. Likewise, he also suppresses its body odours through unknown means. Various chakra surgery techniques are most likely used during this process.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-12-30T15:12:18.670", "id": "56300", "last_activity_date": "2019-12-30T15:12:18.670", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "45633", "parent_id": "56267", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]
