There is a lot of textual\nevidence for this. I suggest reviewing episodes 98, 100, 123, and 130 to learn\nmore about the vestiges, One For All, and All For One.\n\n## The Full Manifestation Took Time\n\nIn _Episode 100 - The New Power and All For One_ , All Might, Midoriya, and\nBakugo speculate on why the new power manifested and make some comments. All\nMight notes,\n\n> \"One for All's power is growing.\"\n\nAnd Midoriya states that when the power manifested, the Dark Whip user said,\n\n> \"The time is ripe.\"\n\nIn _Episode 123 - The Ones Within Us_ the vestiges note that Midoriya does not\nhave a full form in the world of One For All, as that takes time.\n\nIn _Episode 131 - Izuka Midoriya and Tomura Shikaraki_ , the first user states\n\n> \"Before, we could only involve ourselves in the spaces between fluctuations,\n> but we're not limited to that anymore. Because about four months ago, my\n> power--One For All--suddenly started to grow rapidly. Along with that\n> growth, the previous wielders inside One For All were able to take on shape\n> and communicate with each other.\"\n\nAdditionally, Midoriya's form is shown to have advanced enough that he can\ntalk (mumble, really, as his mouth is only partially formed). This shows that\nwith regards to One For All, some aspects of it take time, whether it be\nmanifesting as a vestige or manifesting the previous users' Quirks. The main\nreason All Might didn't manifest the previous user's Quirks was probably just\nthat not enough time had passed.\n\nIn _Episode 98 - That Which is Inherited_ , the vestige of the Blackwhip user\ngives some explanation on what's happening:\n\n> \"Our Quirk factors are mixed in with the core of the power--the tiny core\n> that's always been part of One For All. A tiny spot in the middle of\n> flickering flames, or the surface of billowing waves. The origin of the\n> power is wrapped in the cultivated power. Right now, it's becoming larger\n> and starting to move. What you saw between fluctuations... One For All\n> itself... is growing.\"\n\nHere is yet another instance of someone stating One For All is growing. One\nFor All, the Quirk that allows users to stockpile strength and pass it on,\nseems to further develop over a _period of time_. The Blackwhip user further\nstates that Blackwhip has grown in power while inside of One For All, which\nsuggests this power too was developing whilst in the core of One For All, over\na period of time.\n\nIn this episode, we also see that Nana Shimura was told \"The time has not yet\ncome.\" when she received the power. In one of the episodes I skimmed, I saw it\nimplied (probably by All Might) that Shimura did not even know the Quirks of\nthe previous users were stored in One For All. And this is corroborated by one\nof the users saying he used his power to hide, and built up strength via\ntraining, in order to stockpile it and pass it to the next user--implying they\nthought the main purpose of One For All was passing along physical strength,\nnot Quirks.\n\n## A Quirkless User Might Be A Prerequisite\n\nIn episode 131, the vestiges talk a lot about One For All and there are some\nshocking revelations, such as that one of the users died of old age at only\nage 40, likely due to having multiple Quirks. They conclude that\n\n> \"One For All cannot be used by a normal human.\"\n\n(Normal human is here defined as someone with a Quirk, since Quirkless people\nare now a rarity.)\n\nThey further state,\n\n> \"[One For All] was able to have its true power drawn out by someone who did\n> not have any power.\"\n\n## Something To Do With All For One\n\nAs stated, in episode 100, Bakugo, All Might, and Midoriya discuss why this\nmight be happening. Bakugo asks if there was something that triggered it, but\nMidoriya answers,\n\n> \"No, not at all. But he said, 'The time is ripe.'\"\n\nSpeaking on external stimuli that may have triggered the change, they further\nspeculate that the power manifesting had something to do with All For One. I\ndo not recall the full context at this point in the story that would lead them\nto think this, but I guess Midoirya had some kind of contact with All For One.\n\n## Midoriya's Thoughts Triggered Blackwhip\n\nIn episode 98, the Blackwhip user implies his power manifested because\nMidoriya wanted it in that moment. Midoriya asks \"Why? What's going to\nhappen?\" and he replies:\n\n> \"You... Earlier, you thought,'I'll capture that guy,' right? You did, didn't\n> you? The Quirk that works best for that is my Blackwhip.\"\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2023-06-14T21:26:21.770", "id": "68051", "last_activity_date": "2023-06-15T17:08:24.027", "last_edit_date": "2023-06-15T17:08:24.027", "last_editor_user_id": "19307", "owner_user_id": "19307", "parent_id": "61950", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nShort answer: the anime differs heavily from the manga starting from the 5th\nmovie with the scene surrounding Rygart’s village. So, I’d recommend reading\nfrom chapter 27 (it starts with Girge’s past).\n\n* * *\n\nThe producers of the anime likely wanted to end that arc with 6 movies.\nHowever, to be faithful to the manga you would need at least 1 more movie\nwhich is why they compressed and bent the story accordingly. So, you will find\nsome scenes in the manga that seem similar to the anime, but they play out\nmostly completely differently and under a different context. This is just my\nopinion, but starting from that diversion, the anime became a mess, especially\nwith what they did with Rygart’s fight against Girge that makes you want to\npunch our protagonist.\n\nThe first 4 movies however cover the manga very closely. So, you don’t need to\nread the manga from the start if you’re fine with missing some details.\n\nThere are a few differences I’d like to point out, though:\n\n 1. Sigyn’s action of why she takes in Cleo (after the latter became a captive) is better explained in the manga (read chapter 16 if you’re interested).\n\n 2. Remember that scene where Sigyn tells Cleo the story of Rygart and Hodr trying to sneak into the girls’ dormitories? In the manga, she confesses to Cleo in a roundabout way that she loves Rygart (see chapter 28).\n\n 3. Rygart’s a bit more level-headed in the manga (although not much more) and it's more apparent that he has a hard time trying to deal with his naive action of saving an enemy that ended with an ally soldier being killed. His „stupid“ (or call it ‚naive‘) actions are a bit more reasonable and there are also fewer of them, e.g. when Rygart’s been asked about the newly captivated Cleo, he doesn’t say to just let her free but instead talks about her overdeveloped body (see ch. 16).\n\n 4. Remember Nike, that crazy girl? If you found her sadistic side annoying, you will probably accept it more in the manga as it’s shown less and not so extreme.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-02-19T22:02:36.867", "id": "61966", "last_activity_date": "2022-05-03T18:30:45.880", "last_edit_date": "2022-05-03T18:30:45.880", "last_editor_user_id": "15475", "owner_user_id": "15475", "parent_id": "61965", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

My\ntheories as a somewhat mediocre fan to solve this apparent plot hole are as\nfollows:\n\n 1. > It actually doesn't matter from what we have seen in the manga. Eren was able to seize control of the Founding Titan by convincing Ymir, the First Titan, to make her own choice as she was a slave to the will of the royal bloodline since the days of the founding king, Fritz. Hence the royal bloodline wasn't really special. They just had the advantage of manipulating a nigh-omnipotent girl to do their bidding.\n\n 2. The first theory can be shot down when you consider the fact that Zeke's spinal fluid can be used to turn Eldians into pure Titans. Thus perhaps the royal bloodline is special. I'm no geneticist, just a hyperactive high schooler, so what I'm about to propose may be scientifically preposterous. I think because since the royal family is directly descended from Maria, Rose, and Sina, the first humans to eat Titan blood _raw_ I might add, it's possible that there's a higher concentration of the original power in the royal bloodline hence their abilities.

I'll just list them out.\n\n 1. It was mentioned by Roger, without contradiction, that both him and Garp have nearly killed each other several times. We know that in Garp's younger days, he was at least considered to be a viable candidate to become an Admiral. This was shown during the Battle of Edd War, when the Fleet Admiral Kong offered Garp a promotion and Garp declined that. So, we can at least say that Roger was very capable of going up against an Admiral at this time.\n\n 2. About 38 years ago (or was it 40?), Roger and Garp teamed up to take down the Rocks Pirates. Granted, we don't know what exactly this entails but it's very likely that the both of them (along with the rest of the Roger Pirates probably) had to go up against Big Mom, Kaido, Shiki, Whitebeard, Wang Zhi and Rocks himself. Considering the fact that they ended up winning the battle and Rocks apparently met his end there, it's safe to say that Roger would've surely been considered one of the strongest pirates at that point.\n\n 3. In Oden's flashback, it was shown that both Roger and Whitebeard were at a point where they were able to use Advanced forms of Haki at will and seemingly without any restraints. It seemed to be the case that they could do so without having to exert much effort into it as well. Mastery of such advanced levels of Haki surely counts as a good show of strength.\n\n 4. Finally, we know that Rayleigh, as an old man, had the power to go toe-to-toe against an Admiral. We don't know if he would have won that fight against Kizaru (there are way too many variables that are missing, though I'm of the opinion that it would've ended in a stalemate). But it's very clear that Rayleigh, in his prime, would've been easily able to fight against an Admiral without too many issues. If Roger was not significantly stronger than Rayleigh, then he would've at least been strong enough for Rayleigh to still refer to him as his Captain.\n\nBasically, all of this counts as pretty solid evidence that Roger was as\nstrong as people said. It is interesting to note that in the current context\nof One Piece, people actually use Whitebeard as a measure of power. That is,\nthey typically measure the strength of a given pirate based on how strong\nWhitebeard used to be in his prime.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-04-19T08:16:59.567", "id": "62546", "last_activity_date": "2021-04-19T08:16:59.567", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31166", "parent_id": "62107", "post_type": "answer", "score": 5 }, { "body": "\n\nIf he is not, he is stronger. Here are some reasons why.\n\nYou remember how it was said Whitebeard was as strong as Roger. That was\nbecause of Whitebeard's devil fruit. The same devil fruit that had marineford\nturning into a past version of the Dressrosa arc. That was when whitebeard was\nsick and old and was dying slowly. That means that it was stronger when he was\nyounger and healthy and roger was sick when whitebeard was young and healthy\nbut they had matched strength. Whitebeard would have been able to beat\nmarineford and the shichibukai alike with the help of Marco and Jozu alone if\nhe was in his prime. Plus Roger had no devil fruit.\n\nYou remember Big Mom and Kaido. When they clashed in Wano. (I think or was it\nin Whole Cake island. I don't remember Kaido going to Whole Cake island though\nbut I think Big Mom chased Luffy all the way to Wano.) It split the skies,\nright. Well Roger and Whitebeard split the sky with a clash as well, but it\ndidn't even touch each other. I think it was due to a bit of Conqueror's haki\nbut I don't know for sure.\n\nHe has Armament, Observation, and Conqueror's haki.

[ { "body": "\n\nI have 2 answers to this:\n\n# Answer 1\n\nCheck out the [story arcs](https://kaguyasama-wa-\nkokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Story_Arcs) and then I guess the chapters\nthat aren't part of story arcs are fillers. Then the corresponding parts in\nthe anime are fillers.\n\n# Answer 2\n\nI said initially in March\n\n> The whole show is a slice of life kinda comedy. What do you mean? It's like\n> asking what filler episodes are there in Lucky Star I think – BCLC\n\nAnd then I said just before Easter\n\n> Now that I've seen both seasons I think in some ways this could be a good\n> question. Some episodes esp in s1 seem to be standalone things that are\n> merely 'filler' but then they are referenced in future episodes. – BCLC\n\nThe question I would instead ask is 'Are there _really_ any filler episodes?'\nFor example, you might consider the following fillers, but they're kinda\nreferenced in later chapters/episodes\n\n 1. [Chapter 43: Chika Fujiwara Really Wants to Eat](https://kaguyasama-wa-kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_43), part of [S01E11](https://kaguyasama-wa-kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_11).\n\n 2. [Chapter 9: Kaguya Wants to Walk](https://kaguyasama-wa-kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_9), part of [S01E03](https://kaguyasama-wa-kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_03).\n\nBut each are relevant, at least a little, in later episodes (again, s1\nspoilers)\n\n 1. For S01E11, (s1 minor spoiler)\n\n> We see the ramen guy as a taxi driver in S01E12.\n\n 2. For S01E03, we can view this as relevant to (s1 spoiler)\n\n> The umbrella episode S01E05 (re Miyuki's bike riding to school) and the non-\n> meeting at the student council room in S01E11 (The interpretation seems to\n> be that for S01E03 Kaguya and Miyuki meet up serendipitously when they do\n> good things like help out children, but for S01E11 they don't meet up\n> serendipitously when they do bad things like hiding their feelings).\n\nMy view is that **Kaguya-sama invites you to redefine your definition of\n'filler'** to something like: 'an episode/a sub-episode/a chapter that (isn't\nan end in and of itself and) isn't referenced in future episodes/chapters'.\nOne might also add that Miyuki vs Kaguya battles are ends in and of\nthemselves, so for example the umbrella sub-episode of S01E05 isn't filler\nbecause the point of the show is really to show these battles.\n\nThat said, even in this new definition, I believe the anime does have fillers\nstill like the nails in S01E06.\n\n# Edit: Answer 3 - later in the manga\n\nWait I have another answer now. With the way the manga is going now (Chapter\n250 onwards), it doesn't look like this series is some mere slice-of-life.\nLike it evolved from such or something.\n\n * Wait actually Aka Akasaka talks about this exactly in Volume 22 Chapter 221.1, like right after Chapter 220 where\n\n> Kaguya and Miyuki do it.\n\nAnyhoo there might be some spoilers so I'll spoiler tag the afterword, but\nbasically Aka says Volume 14 was kind of a turning point, so I guess there are\nless filler (in either definition?) chapters after this Volume.\n\nWithout further ado, here's the last part of the afterword.\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/UD7Pi.png)\n\n# Edit: Answer 4 - the movies.\n\nActually, as an alternative to the anime/manga, you can watch the live action\nmovies. (They weren't quite so well-received, but me personally I really liked\nthem.)\n\nThere are 'filler' stories in the movies but are extremely limited, mostly in\nthe beginning of the movies and necessary to set the background of the story.\nThey turned certain episodes/chapters that might be considered 'filler' (even\nin the new definition) to be relevant to the main Miyuki x Kaguya story and\nturned even less relevant or less immediately relevant episodes/chapters to be\nmore relevant eg Kaguya's health issues and lack of sex education.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2022-04-17T14:12:06.853", "id": "66659", "last_activity_date": "2022-07-15T02:09:34.683", "last_edit_date": "2022-07-15T02:09:34.683", "last_editor_user_id": "4484", "owner_user_id": "4484", "parent_id": "62199", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\n_Shounen_ , _Seinen_ , _Shoujo_ and _Josei_ are terms for four of the main\ndemographics that manga and anime are marketed to. Broadly:\n\n * People aged between about 12 and 18 are in the [_Shounen_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Dnen_manga) demographic if they're male, or [_Shoujo_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Djo_manga) if they're female.\n\n * People aged from 18 to about 45 are in the [_Seinen_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seinen_manga) demographic if they're male, or [_Josei_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josei_manga) if they're female.\n\nUltimately, the distinction between the demographics is based on which manga\nmagazine publishes the work. The more adult genres (seinen and josei) are more\nlikely to cover adult topics and have more explicit depictions of content such\nas sex and violence, but it's not an absolute thing - _Fist of the North Star_\nis much more graphic in its depiction of violence than _One Punch Man_ , for\nexample, but Fist is defined as shounen while OPM is seinen. Osamu Tezuka's\nmanga series [_Phoenix_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_\\(manga\\)) was\npublished across 3 or 4 different magazines that covered the shounen, seinen\nand shoujo demographics, although the art style and content varies a bit\nacross them. The age and sex of the lead character can often be a hint to the\ndemographic - it's rare for a seinen manga to have a little girl protagonist,\nfor example - but it's not a guarantee either.\n\nThe demographics can intersect with almost all genres - there are shounen\nromantic comedies and shoujo horrors and josei isekai and practically every\nother combination if you look hard enough.\n\nSome of the other terms you asked about are better described as genres or\nsubgenres, and in particular:\n\n * [_Isekai_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isekai) literally means \"other world\" and refers to stories where a person is transported to a different world. Most commonly, a person from Earth is sent to a fantasy world, sometimes as a reincarnation, but at this point \"Japanese schoolgirl dies and is reincarnated as a character in a dating simulation video game\" is a rapidly growing sub-genre. \"Reverse Isekai\" is sometimes used to describe stories where characters from a fantasy world are pulled to Earth, but it's not quite as broadly known.\n\n * [_Ecchi_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecchi) comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the letter \"H\" (for \"Hentai\", meaning perverted, but is also a general euphemism for sex or sexual topics). Ecchi manga are ones with lots of flashes of adult content without being overly explicit with them. They're usually comedies, often rom-coms, and most frequently targeted to older teens (so they do tend to land on the border of shounen and seinen).\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-03-17T00:25:40.643", "id": "62226", "last_activity_date": "2021-03-17T00:25:40.643", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "8843", "parent_id": "62221", "post_type": "answer", "score": 9 } ]

Sanji in Nami's body claims to be the best swimmer\non the crew and thus he has to be the one to rescue the samurai's torso from\nthe sea. But why does Sanji still have his abilities while in Nami's body? It\nmight make sense if Law swapped the internals of the bodies, including\nmuscles.\n\nWhere this theory seems to fail: Franky and Chopper's bodies seem to work as\nnormal. Also, when Sanji and Nami swap back, Sanji feels the pain his body\nwent through under Nami after she punches him, saying \"My body hurts from a\nwhole lot more than one punch.\" If the injuries were only skin deep, he likely\nwouldn't collapse from the pain here.\n\n**Second Possibility** : Law actually did swap their souls. And somehow, in\nthe world of _One Piece_ , skills and memory are stored in the soul, thus why\nSanji still has fighting potential while in Nami's body. And maybe the soul\nreally is stored in the physical heart (Who's to say in a fictional world?\nWhether it was the actual heart is not important, however, and as previously\nstated, the physical representation of the swap did not look like a real\nheart.). And what else is stored in the soul? The urge to smoke, apparently.\n\nWhere this theory is weak: If the characters still have access to the actual\nbrain of the body they're in, and thus the memories and knowledge, this would\nbe odd, as they don't appear to have much idea of how to use their abilities.\nNami in Franky's body seems particularly inept.\n\n**Third Possibility** : Law swapped their brains. It is very plausible that\nthe urge to smoke would carry over, then, along with all their memories.\nThough as to why Sanji retains some physical prowess, there would seem to be\nno good answer.\n\nThe second and third possibilities likely are more credible, as Sanji does\nstruggle a bit in Nami's body, saying at times he can't keep up,etc. But at\nthe same time, he's clearly got too much physical prowess while in Nami's\nbody, so something is definitely off.

[ { "body": "\n\nAs these things sometimes go, the answer came to me after some thought. It\ntook a while for some of the details to sink in. I believe I can explain what\nhappened with some clarity now.\n\nFirst, the order to the spirit of the Staff of Creation was to create a new\nversion of Penny, exactly the same at the current one, with the virus still in\nit, **out of the same parts as the current one**. This would cause the current\nPenny to be destroyed. However, here comes the loophole: the Staff of Creation\nis not allowed to destroy (or create) life. Penny has a soul, as evidenced by\nher use of aura, therefore he cannot follow this order. His only choice is to\ngive Penny a **flesh-and-blood body**.\n\nThis explanation meshes well with some details that initially confused me. For\ninstance, Penny starts hugging everyone immediately after and marvels at how\nwarm hugs are. And in the final episode of the season, she has blood.\n\nThe [wiki](https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Penny_Polendina) seems to confirm my\nsuspicions:\n\n> In \"Creation\", she was transformed into a Human by Ambrosius when he created\n> an exact replica of her using her robotic parts.\n\nDisclaimer: I did this answer from memory, rather than consorting the episodes\nagain.

[ { "body": "\n\n## Updated Answer\n\nPreviously, it was difficult to be sure just what was going on with Miko Ino.\nAn actual answer on whether she was depressed or not was subverted so many\ntimes; particularly if it was Shirogane doing the questioning, it would turn\nout Miko Ino was merely being happy-go-lucky with one of her strange hobbies,\nand then some ominous foreshadowing at the end would cast doubt on how to\ninterpet what had just happened. But finally, in _Battle 190: The Senior\nClassmate and the Junior Classmate, Part 3, and Miko Ino Can't Love, Part 5_ ,\nhas given a definitive answer that Miko Ino has indeed been distraught over\nIshigami dating Tsubame. At the very end, when Shirogane just gets straight to\nthe point (finally) and asks \"Do you like Ishigami?\", Ino replies with\n\n> I... hate him. He isn't serious. He flouts rules. He's stupid. He's not my\n> type at all. But when... I heard he went on a date with Tsubame... I felt a\n> sharp sting in the back of my nose... And my heart hurt. Shirogane... How do\n> I handle this?\n\nIno is crying in the panel, and this conversation definitively and explicitly\nproves that Ino is indeed distraught over Ishigami dating someone else, and\nthat is why she has been acting so odd. Notably, it does **not** explicitly\nconfirm that Miko Ino is in love with Ishigami, and there could possibly be\nmore subversion in the future (I don't expect there to be, but it's possible),\nbut this is also **not** what this question is asking. This quote definitively\nproves Ino is deeply distraught, for whatever reason, because of Ishigami\ndating Tsubame. This answers the question, but I'm maintaining the rest of my\nanswer because it offers additional details I find of interest.\n\n## Rest of the Answer\n\nDue to my own lack of knowledge, I can't speak to the cultural differences in\nplay here (though I do think they're relevant), but there is textual evidence\nto suggest that Miko Ino is distraught over Ishigami romantically pursuing\nanother girl, which is likely making Ino behave strangely.\n\nThough Miko Ino doesn't acknowledge her feelings to herself, it is implied by\nother characters and by how she secretly assists Ishigami that she probably\nhas romantic feelings for him. For instance, Ino seems to greatly enjoy\nIshigami waiting hand-and-foot on her while her arm is broken.\n\nIn _Battle 158: Miko Ino Can't Love Part 3_ , there are many implicit\nsuggestions. While talking to her friends, Miko Ino says,\n\n> Hey, I've been wondering... How can I explain this...? I've been trying to\n> figure out... How come... Ishigami came over... afterwards, and...\n\nFrom the text and from the strange look in her eyes, it seems Miko is confused\nabout her own thoughts and feelings for Ishigami. Onondera's response is\n\n> \"Well... Now's your chance... to make Ishigami your slave. He needs an\n> outlet for his guilt anyway... so it's a win-win situation for both of you.\"\n\nTo which Miko Ino gives an affirmative response. On the other hand, Ino's\nfriend Kobachi Osaragi sees trouble coming, leaving us with this ominous\nstatement at the end of the chapter:\n\n> \"Uh-oh. This is a bad strategy. Really bad. This is really bad. Miko is...\n> going to realize it soon.\"\n\nAnd this is said against the backdrop of a picture of Ino blushing while\nholding Ishigami's hand as he helps her up the stairs.\n\nThere is some textual evidence of Ino being a bit distraught. In _Battle 154:\nKaguya Shinomiya's Impossible Demand: \"A Cowrie a Swallow Gave Birth To,\" Part\n2_, a dismayed and worried Ishigami notes,\n\n> \"Damn it. She looks desperate for male attention.\"\n\nFurther proof of both Ino being distraught over Ishigami courting someone else\nand of her having romantic feeling for Ishigami is in the same chapter, when\nshe slurs these words:\n\n> Why are you alwaysh... so mean to me? You don't talk like that to anyone\n> elshe... You always, always, **always** look down on me! I hate you sho\n> much! But you're nice to **other** people! Be nice to me... like you were at\n> the culture festival... The way you're nice to Tsubame...\n\nHere, she explicitly names Tsubame and indicates jealousy of the way Ishigami\ntreats her compared to Tsubame. This would seem to indicate that she probably\nlikes Ishigami herself, and that she's feeling out of sorts because of\nIshigami courting Tsubame.\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-03-23T20:30:47.960", "id": "62275", "last_activity_date": "2021-07-06T18:14:05.547", "last_edit_date": "2021-07-06T18:14:05.547", "last_editor_user_id": "19307", "owner_user_id": "19307", "parent_id": "62274", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nSupplement to other answer:\n\nFrom the bonus chapter Ch281.1:\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8WTvs.jpg)\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2023-01-04T13:18:40.313", "id": "67596", "last_activity_date": "2023-01-04T13:18:40.313", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "4484", "parent_id": "62274", "post_type": "answer", "score": -2 } ]

Most people find\neugenics (including forced sterilization) appalling. And most people would\nagree reproductive rights are good. Some historical and legal context will\nundoubtedly be helpful in understanding why Eren finds Zeke's plan completely\ndisgusting.\n\nEugenics programs have historically existed. You'll doubtlessly be familiar\nwith the atrocities of the Nazis, but such eugenics programs that included\nforced sterilization have also existed in the United States. As one would\nexpect from America, these programs were racist, particularly targeting\nAfrican Americans. See this article: <https://ihpi.umich.edu/news/forced-\nsterilization-policies-us-targeted-minorities-and-those-disabilities-and-\nlasted-21st>\n\nRegarding reproductive rights, here is an excerpt from Article 16 of the UN's\n[Universal Declaration of Human\nRights](https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2021/03/udhr.pdf):\n\n> 1. Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race,\n> nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to **found a family**.\n>\n\nAlso see this article: <https://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/csw/shalev.htm>\n\nAll this to say, a belief in reproductive rights is very much a thing, and\neugenics and forced sterilization are weapons of oppression. Zeke's\nconclusions are not normal, and took some special circumstances for him to\nreach. And it is certainly not at all unusual that Eren would look at the same\nsterilization plan with disgust.\n\n## Back to Eren and Zeke\n\nSo where's the difference here? Zeke led a life where his father tried to turn\nhim into leader of the Eldian Restoration Movement. He ended up hating his\nfather. And in general, he hated that Eldians would choose to have children\nwhen those children were just going to be miserable. Thus, this is the problem\nhe sought to solve, and hence the euthanization plan. Eren didn't go through\nthis. Eren had a loving mother and a somewhat normal childhood, for a while.\nAt no point during the story does he reach a critical juncture where he would\nblame the Eldians of Paradis for anything, let alone everything. If he were to\ngo along with Zeke's plan, it would be out of cold logic--which is not\nsomething Eren is very likely to do. Eren is on the side of Paradis, not the\nrest of the world, so why would he choose to take away the people of Paradis's\nfreedom? Why would he make them die off for the sake of the rest of the world?\n\nEren's ideology is dominated by \"freedom\" and the \"struggle to live\". And he\nis willing to kill anyone who gets in the way of that, as that is part of the\n\"struggle to live\". We can see this ideology prominently in the flashbacks\nregarding when he met Mikasa, when he tells Mikasa to fight against the\nbandits who kidnapped her.\n\nGoing back to the conversation in episode 78, Zeke tells Eren about the cycle\nof hatred, and how the world will be a living hell as long as Eldians exist,\nand then asks why Eren won't end it. Eren's response:\n\n> Because I have a right to live in the world I was born to.\n\n## Eren Sees the World as his Enemy\n\nEren decides not to go along with the euthanization plan because he is fully\non the side of Paradis Island, where his friends and family live. He decides\nto kill the rest of the world because he sees them as his enemies. He chooses\nsuch a dire tactic because he sees the problem as a binary dilemma: it is\neither us (Paradis Island) or them (the rest of the world).\n\nDue to his mother's death by a titan, Eren starts in a place where he wants to\nkill every last titan. However, his world view is shaken up by many\nrevelations that we the audience get to go through with him. Namely:\n\n 1. Titans are Eldians forced to undergo transformation.\n 2. The people behind the walls are not alone in the world.\n 3. The titan attack that killed his mother was orchestrated by a foreign nation.\n\nIn _Episode 59 - The Other Side of the Wall_ , we already see that Eren views\nthe rest of the world as his enemy (emphasis mine):\n\n> Yeah, the sea. It's so **damn big**. Just across that sea, freedom's\n> waiting. That's what I always believed, at least. But **I was wrong**. I\n> know what's waiting **across the sea** now. It's **our enemies**. Hey, if we\n> did cross the sea and **killed our enemies** , would we finally be free?\n\nIn the same episode, we also see Eren no longer views the titans as the enemy.\nWhen they come across one, he says:\n\n> It was shipped to Paradis. Which means its a fellow patriot.\n\nAt some point in season 4, we get a flashback showing Eren and the other\nscouts visiting the outside world and going to an international conference.\nThere, Eren witnesses that there is not a shred of sympathy for the \"devils\"\nof Paradis, thus cementing his view that the whole world is his enemy. Even\nthe allies they have are only using Paradis in order to get revenge on Marley.\nMany of them have no love for Eldians, and some of the volunteers were even in\non Zeke's euthanasia plan.\n\nEren is a soldier, and fighting is all he's known. He has no faith in politics\nor diplomacy. The world is a threat to his people, so he seeks to eliminate\nthat threat, all on his own volition and all with his own power. As he tells\nReiner, the two of them are the same--they are both willing to commit\nindiscriminate mass murder for the sake of their friends, family, and country.\nIt is not terribly surprising Eren has progressed to this point. Eren started\nout saying he was going to kill all the titans, but we learned the titans were\npeople--victims. And now, the target of Eren's \"kill them all\" has merely\nchanged along with his understanding of the world.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2023-06-22T23:04:55.913", "id": "68071", "last_activity_date": "2023-06-22T23:04:55.913", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "19307", "parent_id": "62323", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

Jujutsu (柔術) is a synonym for Taijutsu although\nthere's special significance to the term in that Jujutsu serves as a basis for\nmany modern martial arts (Judo, Brazilian Jujitsu, etc.). This is important\nbecause Jujutsu Kaisen's Jujutsu (呪術 literally curse techniques) is a\nhomophone for the martial art Jujutsu (柔術 literally soft techniques). Which is\nto say they have as much to do with each other as roots and routes.\n\nAnother aspect of this is that Taijutsu is a general term for unarmed combat\ntechniques (synonymous with the usage of the English term martial arts) in\nmuch the same way Kenjutsu is a general term for sword techniques and Bajutsu\nis a general term for horseriding techniques,\n[here's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jutsu) a somewhat comprehensive list of\njutsu.\n\n2: Walking on water in Naruto is probably making reference to the belief that\nninjas could walk on water, although it wasn't through chakra manipulation but\nusing special shoes called [Mizugumo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizugumo)\n(which themselves don't seem like they work unless running across marshy\nground and rice paddies is considered the same as pulling a Jesus). Jujutsu\nKaisen makes no such reference to ninjas but the act of walking on water is a\nlot older than ninjas, the main inspiration being\n[Jesus](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2014%3A22-33&version=NIV).\n\n3: Itadori does call out Rasengan by name which is a clear nod to Naruto but\nin the same sentence he also makes reference to many other famous techniques\nfrom other massively popular Shonen Jump works, these include:\n\n * [Spirit Gun](https://yuyuhakusho.fandom.com/wiki/Spirit_Gun) (aka Rei Gun): Yusuke Urameshi's signature move from Yu Yu Hakusho\n * [Bankai](https://bleachfanfiction.fandom.com/wiki/Bankai): Powerful transformations that select Shinigami (soul reapers) in Bleach can perform\n * [Dodon ray](https://dragonballuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Dodonpa) (aka Dodonpa): The signature move of the Tsuru-Sen style of martial arts practiced by characters like Tien and Chaozu from Dragonball\n\nThe point of Itadori's line is to get across he can't grasp the usage of\ncursed power and is relating it to the power systems of other manga he's read.\n\n4: The Kyuubi (nine-tailed fox) is a relatively well known mythical being in\nEast-Asian folklore, originating in China around 0 AD it was believed that\nwhen certain animals got old enough they gained mystical powers. Kitsune (the\ngeneric term for fox spirits as well as the actual animal) are very common\nyokai in Japanese media from the nearly millennium old tale of [Tamamo-no-\nMae](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamamo-no-Mae) to the Pokémon\n[Ninetales](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ninetales_\\(Pok%C3%A9mon\\))\nwhose first appearance predates Naruto's publication by 3 years. A mention of\nthe Kyuubi is less likely a reference to Naruto in particular and more towards\nthe traditional Japanese folklore in general (which Jujutsu Kaisen is deeply\nsteeped in) in the same way a story with vampires isn't necessarily\nreferencing the Twilight series as much as their progenitor, Bram Stoker's\nDracula or the mythology about vampires in general.\n\n5: Naruto's hand signs are not Kishimoto's creations, they are symbolic Hindu\nand Buddhist gestures called [Mudras](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudra).\nJujutsu Kaisen may be drawing from Naruto's use of the Mudras but it could\njust as easily be drawing from the source. Mudras relatively speaking are\nsomewhat known in Japan given the prevalence and history of Buddhism in the\ncountry.\n\nIs this to say Jujutsu Kaisen makes no reference to Naruto? Not at all, art\ninfluences art in ways big and small alike, One Piece's Eiichiro Oda and Fairy\nTail's Hiro Mashima are both fans of Dragonball and have mentioned being\ninspired by it, which shows in their refinement of the battle Shonen formula\ncodified by Dragonball. Yu Yu Hakusho's dark tournament gave us the template\nfor the Shonen tournament arc which shows in everything from Naruto, to My\nHero Academia and beyond.

Ash had lots of downhills and uphills with his Pokemon. Charizard is one of them. In fact, you forget that Charizard is the one beating Gary at the Johto League, his Blastoise which has a big advantage on Charizard. The fact that he lost against Harrison, is simply due the fact that even in the anime Level system exists - there will be always stronger trainers and stronger Pokemon. Some of your points are not even well explained, some make sense, so it makes me hard to understand your conclusion.

Ok, let's say that you right, did you ever saw Ash along the series releasing his Pokemon because they are weak? Let's not say that he should be. The fact is, he doesn't. Hence, he releases his **strong** Pokemon than his weak Pokemon. To add to the this point, Ash not only won't release Charizard ever but rather than release, he left him in Charicific Valley to train, while 'till this point Ash usually released his Pokemon, he actually wanted Charizard only to train and get him back when needed later on.\n\nAt any rate, I will answer the question with kinda the obvious reason -\nCharizard considered in the Pokemon Brand as main mascot figure (yeah even\nthan Blastoise and Vynasaur), even 'till these days he's still considered,\nthis fact led the anime production even returning him in the BW series - one\nof the reason to give Ash Charizard is because of the fact that Charizard is\nMascot and the fact that his character based originally on Red in the first\ngame, which we know by 2nd games generation as he had Charizard. But even if\nit's not for this reason, fact is that as long Charizard will be recognise as\nPokemon Brand mascot, we will see more of him in the anime, and there's no\nreason for the production to make as release him or what so ever, since we\nknow Charizard and Ash connection, and Ash won't release him because he is\nweak (as you may claim).\n\n[Wikipedia - Charizard\nReception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charizard#Reception)\n\n", "comment_count": 7, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-04-11T10:27:59.300", "id": "62422", "last_activity_date": "2021-04-12T10:12:48.260", "last_edit_date": "2021-04-12T10:12:48.260", "last_editor_user_id": "57843", "owner_user_id": "51620", "parent_id": "62421", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 }, { "body": "\n\nThe premise of your question is flawed.

Ash believes in bringing out the strength in his\nPokémon. To make a point of this, Ash even takes one of the Pokémon Paul\nreleases, Chimchar, and uses it to help him defeat Paul in the Sinnoh League.\n\nWhen Ash releases Pokémon, he always has the well-being of his Pokémon in\nmind, not his own. For instance, he releases Butterfree so that it can find a\nmate and migrate. He also considers where they are needed: for instance,\nSquirtle joins a fire-fighting squad and Bulbasaur looks after the Pokémon at\nProfessor Oak's place.\n\nAsh considers his Pokémon his friends, and he won't release them just because\nthey're weak. He will, however, send them to train with Liza in Charicific\nValley for an indefinite period of time.\n\nThough I have to say, your premise about Charizard being incredibly weak is\nalso incorrect. A few embarrassing losses do not make a Pokémon incredibly\nweak in the Pokémon anime. Ash's Pikachu has lost to a starter Pokémon (Snivy)\nin _Black and White_. And Charizard has some impressive wins, including\nagainst Gary's Blastoise and against an Articuno in the Battle Factory.

Nevertheless, the\nprecision, accuracy and timing involved would require a great deal of training\nand understanding of Kamui that Kakashi could never attain given his limited\naccess to the Sharingan.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-11-19T04:48:06.597", "id": "65954", "last_activity_date": "2022-03-11T03:46:15.690", "last_edit_date": "2022-03-11T03:46:15.690", "last_editor_user_id": "42685", "owner_user_id": "42685", "parent_id": "62438", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

While it is difficult to give a scientific source for\nthis, a oft-cited reason is the societal disenfranchisement experienced by\nyoung Japanese, the typical target demographic of such material. With the\neffects of the decades-long post-bubble economic stagnation still present,\ngeneral societal hostility towards the Yutori generation (ゆとり世代), along with\nmany other reasons that are too complex for me to talk about knowledgeably,\nthere is a general sense of defeat and estrangement toward modern society that\npervades a significant portion of Japanese youth. This translates to a desire\nto escape, rather than try in vain to be successful in the modern world. (Note\nthis trend isn't limited to Japan, but I am limiting it to Japan to keep it on\ntopic.)\n\nIsekai is pretty much the embodiment of the escapism espoused by this urge,\nand anime (and related material such as manga and LNs), often being a form of\nescapist wish-fulfillment to begin with, was very receptive to this shift. It\neffectively rode the wave to end up with the current surfeit of Isekai works.\n\nNow, Isekai in and of itself does not always imply a desire to escape - it may\nbe a method to explore questions about history, or a way to put into\nperspective the effects of modern societal and economic development. However,\nthe recent popularity of Isekai really isn't concerned with such questions -\nit is much more about the MC, typically self-inserts, being successful, rich,\npopular, etc. by virtue of:\n\n 1. Experiences as a typical member of modern society (You will often see the MC heralded as genius for having what would be basic knowledge (e.g. economic concepts or cooking methods) in modern times)\n 2. Having nearly omniscient knowledge of a fictional world (common in Isekai involving novels)\n 3. Having access to modern technology in a pre-modern world (In Another World with My Smartphone, anyone?)\n 4. Having some method to easily \"level up\" and gain new powers (common in game-based Isekai - note that they often involve overpowered MC-only skills, items or classes)\n 5. Or being bestowed powers without reason or any meaningful effort (as given in OP's question)\n\nNote that none of these require any exceptional effort on the MC's part.\nHaving a overpowered MC in an Isekai makes it easier for the reader to get\ntheir success-without-effort (or at least, a gamelike success-proportional-to-\neffort) wish-fulfillment fantasy, which has been in demand with the increasing\ndisillusionment towards the idea \"effort breeds success\" in modern society.\n\n \n \n\nI've talked in length about why the \"Overpowered MC in Isekai\" trope appeals\nto consumers, but a equally, if not more, important aspect is its\nattractiveness to creators.\n\nIsekai is a very convenient tool for creators, as one can simply apply\nwhatever technology level, society, etc. is convenient for the plot. Unlike,\nsay, the setting the story in the actual medieval times, the faux-historical\nsetting often seen in Isekai means no real research is required, and any\ndissonance within the verisimilitude of the fictional world can be hand-waved\naway. In addition, in figuring out the MC and their skills and knowledge, the\ncreator can just directly apply their own experience without further thought\nor research.\n\nNow, while it would appear at first sight that it would be a simple matter for\na MC with all the typical knowledge of the modern world to quickly become\nsuccessful in a world that can be bent for plot convenience, this really isn't\nthe case.\n\nAnthropological development is not discrete, and for an MC to succeed in a\npre-modern world, the writer often has to either; make the MC more\nknowledgeable than the typical reader (or writer!), or force a contrived\nlacuna in common knowledge of the Isekai that makes little ethnographical\nsense.\n\nTo give a more concrete example, say that an Isekai is set on a typical pre-\ngunpowder society, and the writer wants the MC to take over the world by\nbuilding guns. This would require the MC to know how to manufacture gunpowder,\nmachine intricate metal parts, smelt high-quality steel (or some other\nsuitable metal), and have to ability to raise funds and the manpower to build\nthe parts necessary. This simply isn't the case for most of the audience,\nbecoming a impediment for self-insertion, and also requires the writer to do\nresearch, which a lot of Isekai writers can't frankly be bothered to do.\n\nImplementing or applying even a sliver of modern development to a pre-modern\nsociety almost always requires a lot of preexisting groundwork, which is both\ndifficult for a self-insert MC to convincingly achieve, and a bunch of\nannoying research work for the writer.\n\nThen, for an MC without any special powers to become successful in an Isekai,\na clear but simple gap in development that any modern hoi polloi can fill is\nrequired. Of course, this also means it often makes little sense for the\nIsekai society to have not filled the gap, which also interferes with the\nreader's suspension of disbelief. Some examples from my memory: the\napproximate equivalent of 12th century europe that hadn't realized heat can be\nused to cook food, or a Baroque era world that did not have the concept of\ncurrency.\n\nSo, it is difficult for an Isekai MC without special powers to achieve\nsuccess, at least without some narrative concessions. The obvious recourse,\nthen, is to give the MC special powers. After all, why bother building a gun\nworkshop when you can just conjure guns out of thin air? Or better yet, shoot\nmagic out of your fingers? Giving an Isekai MC special powers makes crafting a\nlogically consistent story much easier - the writer is not constrained by\npesky notions such as the limits of human capability or mundanity of the\neveryman, and can insert contrivances as necessary to keep the story going\nwith the excuse of \"special powers\".\n\nIn short, an overpowered MC sidesteps what is perhaps the Achilles' heel in\nIsekai fiction writing - that the modern average Joe is no more inherently\nskilled or knowledgeable than a premodern human (or human equivalent) society.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2021-04-16T04:15:44.650", "id": "62505", "last_activity_date": "2021-04-16T07:55:05.103", "last_edit_date": "2021-04-16T07:55:05.103", "last_editor_user_id": "57846", "owner_user_id": "57846", "parent_id": "62446", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]
