[ { "body": "\n\nYour points seem to consider only the SAO game itself, and not the looming\nthreat of death that was hanging over the players at all times. While the game\nworld was fantastic, and people were much more powerful than in real life,\nbeing forced to play and having their real brains fried on death in-game\nreally tilts the scales in the other direction.\n\nThrough the course of that arc, we've seen countless people die facing\nmonsters and bosses, and others taking their own lives due to many of their\nclose friends dying. Even the people not on the front lines needed to make a\nliving, which either meant trade jobs, or dungeon farming. Assuming the\ndungeons they targeted were risk-free enough due to level advantage, it would\nstill become a very monotonous and routine life. This could have significant\nmental effects since they were trapped for over 2 years, forced out from their\nreal lives where they had various obligations and people to go back to.\n\nKirito's comments in the first episode are **before** it becomes a death game,\nso they have to be seen in that light. As for point 2, there would be a number\nof ways to contact the players IRL without needing a VR game (it isn't\nunrealistic to assume video calling software like Skype have much better\nfeatures then), but yes the 'physical meeting' can only be replicated inside a\nvirtual environment. Another thing to consider, though it doesn't really help\nthe argument directly, SAO was released only in Japan, and we see that all the\nsurvivors are brought together by the Government for the post-game treatment,\nand those still in school are all transferred to the same special school.\n\nSo yeah, the trauma was sufficient to argue that no player would be happy to\nget back into the game after what they went through. Kirito himself dives back\ninto ALO solely because of Asuna, and he is shown hesitating before picking\nthe NerveGear back up.\n\nThey may eventually come to terms with it and play other games, but SAO had\naffected their lives very significantly.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-11-11T04:04:55.050", "id": "49603", "last_activity_date": "2018-11-11T04:04:55.050", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "27657", "parent_id": "49590", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nIt is not impossible that some of the SAO prisoners might still be interested\nin gaming right after escaping the game, but remember that they had absolutely\nno choice in whether or not they could play the game and, moreover, would die\nin real life if they died in the game. This alone already produces the\npotential for players to be wary about using NerveGear or the AmuSphere again\nright away.

One of them, _Unreal World_ , which is a survival simulation game,\ntends to get boring after I have a stable food and shelter situation. Trying\nout dangerous, exciting things is out of the question if I want to survive,\nsince I might get killed.\n\nIn real life, when I get bored, I can just quit the game. But if I were\ntrapped in _Unreal World_ the way Kirito is trapped in SAO, I would end up\nboring myself to death, having nothing to do other than sit in my house and\noccasionally fish. I would be incredibly unhappy. If I were rescued from that\nsituation, I would probably be more interested in catching up on all of other\nthings I wasn't able to do while trapped in a simulation of Iron Age Finland.\nIt's not hard to imagine other players feeling this way.\n\n> He, and many players, are substantially more powerful in the game world than\n> in the real world. This can give anything between a buzz and an addictive\n> high that players would want more of.\n\nI can do a lot of things in video games that I can't do in real life, such as\nkilling dangerous monsters with my bare hands. I take these risks because\n[it's\nunderstood](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YetAnotherStupidDeath)\nthat I will probably end up dying rather than beating the game and because I\ncan always start over. It's exciting. If I were trapped in the game, however,\nI would be a lot less interested in doing these things when my actual life\nwould literally be on the line in these fights. Between that and literally\nbeing imprisoned in the game, that someone enjoyed SAO doesn't mean that he\nwon't be leery of VMMO games after coming out.\n\nKeep in mind that in addition to dealing with the psychological trauma of\nbeing imprisoned in SAO, players also have to deal with the physical and\nsocial effects of having been away and lying in hospital beds for two years.\nKirito is very weak after he gets out of SAO, and he and his friends also have\nto attend special schools. This is all very time-consuming. After coming out,\nthe majority of players probably wouldn't have the time or the motivation for\nserious gaming.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-11-11T04:47:14.097", "id": "49604", "last_activity_date": "2018-11-11T04:47:14.097", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "2604", "parent_id": "49590", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nShort answer - We don't know canonically, as there is absolutely no\ninformation on the matter. All that follows is interpretation of their\nexchange when they meet.\n\nBased on the few short panels of their interaction, we see the Gorosei\nmention:\n\n> \"We are in the middle of the Reverie. A man with a position like yours isn't\n> suitable to get involved in the world of politics. We only made time to talk\n> because it was you.\"\n\nAt first thought, it will seem absurd that the position would refer to him\nbeing a Yonko, since the Marines are against them. Many theories have indeed\nsurfaced that Shanks may have some other status that allies him with the\nGorosei or makes him worthy to be treated in such a manner. In my view, it is\nvery much against Shanks' character to be a double agent, given how it has\ndeveloped. Below are some other technicalities to consider.\n\nFirstly, the reason the Marines leave the Yonko alone to a large extent is due\nto their influence and ability to put up a big fight. They'd have to expend a\nlot to capture someone at the Yonko-level, which is not worth their efforts\nunless something major happens. Even in the two instances when Shanks was\ninteracting with other Yonko (Whitebeard and Kaido), they merely attempted to\nstop the meet by blocking him, and did not attempt capture.\n\nSecondly, the World Government and the Marines are separate. The Gorosei are\nunder the WG, which has its own agendas beyond simply capturing pirates to\nmaintain peace. The Marines fall under the WG, but so do multiple secret\nforces like the CP0.\n\nIn the very next chapter (908), we see the Gorosei mentioning that the\n\"balance of the world cannot be maintained forever\". All their appearances\nseem to indicate they choose to maintain the balance of the Three Great Powers\n(Marines, Warlords and Pirates), even though one would assume they'd be happy\nif all pirates were eliminated. Thus, there's definitely more than meets the\neye.\n\nEnough to guess that the Gorosei might not have any direct motivation to\ncapture pirates (like the Marines), and definitely not those at Shanks' level.\n\n", "comment_count": 4, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-11-13T06:13:00.637", "id": "49652", "last_activity_date": "2018-11-13T06:13:00.637", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "27657", "parent_id": "49643", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 }, { "body": "\n\nIt’s quite clear that Shanks has some knowledge of all the world old knowledge\ndue to the fact he was on the Pirate King's ship.

Anyways.)\n\nIt’s very clear Shanks is there to either talk about Blackbeard or Luffy. The\nreason why is because Shanks is the symbol of maintaining balance between all\nthe Great Powers. Unlike other yonko Shanks only fights to defend people he\ncares for and his crew. He is not actively seeking more power like Kaido,\nBlackbeard and Big Mom.\n\nHe would rather maintain things as is but, since he knows he can not stop the\nchanges in the word Luffy has brought, he is most likely issuing a big warning\nto the government, possibly about Blackbeard doing more than what has ever\nbeen done in history.\n\nLots of theories claim Blackbeard is actually 3 people and Shanks could be\nwarning them that because of what will happen in wano. It will lead to\nBlackbeard acquiring a third devil fruit or perhaps a road ponneglyph or\nancient weapon.\n\nThere’s no such thing as Shanks being a double agent.

[ { "body": "\n\nBased on your question, I believe you are comparing the Vegito from the\n_Future Trunks arc_ and the Gogeta Blue from the _Dragon Ball Super movie_?\nThen yes! **Gogeta Blue is definitely stronger**. The reasons being, for one,\nGoku and Vegeta have gotten significantly stronger throughout the T.O.P, in\ncomparison to the Future Trunks arc. Secondly, irrespective of whether Broly\nis stronger than Beerus, his power has been compared to a _God of\ndestruction_. I do understand Shin made a comment in the manga about Vegito\nrivaling Beerus in the Future Trunks arc, however, I honestly am not going to\nconsider it simply on account of the number of inaccurate statements we have\nseen from Shin throughout the series(He thought SSJG Goku might defeat Beerus,\nSSJB Vegeta was winning against Jiren, Vegeta might lose against Pui Pui and\nthe list goes on). \n \nAlso in the anime, there is an alternate Corrupted version of Merged Zamasu\nwho is significantly stronger. Beerus comments he'd be able to easily defeat\nMerged Zamasu(Who was going toe to toe with Vegito Blue). Jiren's power was\ncompared to that of a G.O.D and Beerus being one of the strongest G.O.D's\nshould rival Jiren(At least before he releases his dormant power) and Jiren\neven before he releases his dormant power, is in a way implied to be stronger\nthan Vegito considering the fact that Goku and Vegeta didn't resort to fusion\nto challenge Jiren and it was heavily implied Goku would have to master UI to\nwin. \n \nNow suppose we have an alternate reality where Goku and Vegeta fuse into\nVegito instead of Gogeta in the movie, I believe Vegito would be stronger\nsimply because the Potara Fusion has been stated to be more powerful.

[ { "body": "\n\nThis actually brings up an interesting point. Traditionally, a Potara fusion\nis supposed to last for **1 hour** and the fusion dance is supposed to last\nfor **30 minutes.** However, just like you said, SSJB Vegito defuses in the\n_Future Trunks Arc_ on account of being way too powerful.\n\n * We do know that the potara fusion is stronger than the fusion dance. We do not know to what extent it is. However, Gogeta Blue is the Broly arc is a combination of a significantly stronger Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta, and I personally believe the potara fusion is not that stronger in comparison to the fusion dance(Note: The fusion dance also requires both the participants to be at equal power and Goku and Vegeta in their SSJB forms are equal at full power, unlike Goten and Trunks).\n * Secondly, the potara fusion is something only accessible to the God's and it was stated that the fusion would last for an hour unlike the fusion dance which has a time constraint of 30 minutes. After rewatching the episode with the fight between Merged Zamasu and Vegito, when Goku and Vegeta defuse, **Shin mentions that it hasn't been an hour yet**. You can watch a [clip of the same here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U80UfGqnJg).\n * I understand the fight between the two fights lasted for a few minutes in the anime but in reality, DBS time can be as slow or as fast as possible based on the plot. The tournament of power was nowhere close to 48 minutes in real time and some fights which seemed really long literally lasted for a few minutes for the sake of plot. So, since Shin doesn't explicitly mention how long the fusion of Vegito lasted, it **wouldn't be incorrect to say, maybe the fusion lasted even 55 minutes. Factor in the shocked expression on Gowasu's and Shin's face, maybe the fusion last for only 50% of the time i.e(30 Mins) or probably 40 mins? We don't know for sure.**\n * Yes! Dragon Ball GT Did have Gogeta defuse earlier than the 30-minute mark. However, like you said, the series is not canon to the main series and while there is evidence in Xenoverse 2, DBH etc with regard to Super Saiyan Blue being stronger than Super Saiyan 4, you still can't compare the two series with regard to this.\n * Finally, the story is written by Toriyama and he loves to incorporate humor into the storyline. There is a possibility he kept the 30 minutes simply to include the failed version's of Gogeta's fusion to last for long while Frieza gets beaten up or something of a similar fashion which we won't know for sure until we watch the movie.\n\nIn conclusion, I personally feel the Gogeta Blue we see in the movie should be\nsignificantly powerful in comparison to the Vegito Blue from the Future Trunks\narc. Also, the only reason Vegito Blue defused was obviously for the sake of\nplot and have Future Trunks defeat merged Zamasu. So technically, if the\nseries progresses and they have Goku and Vegeta fuse again. It is certainly\npossible for them to have Vegito use something like Ultra Instinct Fused or\nSuper Saiyan Blue + Kaioken*20 fused and last long enough for the fight to be\ninteresting even if in reality, MUI is significantly stronger than SSJB.\nHowever, **The most important fact here is that, it was never stated how long\nVegito stayed fused as Shin only comments they did for less than an hour**.

Oda sensei hid the left side of Shanks' face on purpose in the scenes of\nRoger's execution. The reason for this may be revealed later.\n\nc.

So he would have only had one opportunity to use the Jutsu during the\nexams, during his fight with Neji.\n\nIt is never EXPLICITLY stated, as far as I know, why Naruto didn't use\nSummoning Jutsu to summon Gamabunta during the fight, but let me give you a\ndifferent perspective. Why would he want to summon Gamabunta in his fight\nagainst Neji?\n\n 1. He had a personal reason to fight Neji. He probably wanted to beat Neji on his own, 1v1, to prove his point to Neji. Probably wouldn't feel great to beat Neji because he had a giant frog step on him.\n 2. It would have been impractical. Gamabunta is HUGE. Gamabunta would probably have filled the entirety of the stadium they fought in. Even if Gamabunta did fight, he sure as hell wouldn't have been able to do so without destroying the stadium to hit a single tiny human target.\n 3. Like you mentioned, Gamabunta probably wouldn't have even wanted to fight for Naruto. The only reason he fought with Naruto against Gaara later is because he knew about the One Tail Beast and Gamakichi convinced him to.\n 4. Naruto had literally only used the technique once successfully in his training with Jiraiya, under threat of falling to his death. He probably didn't have confidence he could use it again. This is evidenced by the fact that in his fight with Gaara later, he only successfully summoned Gamabunta again because he was about to die, failing the first time by summoning Gamakichi. Naruto isn't able to reliably summon Gamabunta for quite a while in the series, summoning Gamakichi and Gamatatsu on multiple occasions.\n\n", "comment_count": 3, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2018-12-04T20:36:41.687", "id": "49970", "last_activity_date": "2018-12-04T20:41:44.323", "last_edit_date": "2018-12-04T20:41:44.323", "last_editor_user_id": "41578", "owner_user_id": "41578", "parent_id": "49959", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

Well, he cares for Ciel's life, he cares for\nCiel's resolve, and he cares for Ciel becoming a tasty meal for him. Does he\nsee Ciel as a friend? Probably not.\n\nIn Book of the Atlantic, Madam Red tells Sebastian that he is practically like\nfamily to Ciel, in which Sebastian responds by saying \"I would never presume\nto think of myself as family, that would be inappropriate. No, I am merely one\nhell of a butler.\" I assume that the same would go for friendship. This is\nfurther backed up in episode 15 of the first season, where Agni refers to\nSebastian as a friend, and Sebastian is caught off guard, explaining that\nnobody had ever referred to him as such. I doubt that Sebastian sees any\nfriendship between him and Ciel, at least nothing beyond master and servant or\ncontractor and contractee.\n\nYou mentioned that Sebastian is always loyal to Ciel, and this is because it\nis a part of their contract. Sebastian is ordered to protect and never betray\nCiel, along with never lying to him, and following his orders to their\ncompletion.\n\nWhen Ciel and Sebastian's past together is revealed in Book of the Atlantic,\nyou can see that Sebastian is initially very annoyed with Ciel, which makes\nsense considering that he is a demon having to play the role of a butler for a\nbratty little boy.

They'd been together for three years\nand spent a lot of time training each other to be the perfect earl and butler.\nSo while they may not be friends, they've been together long enough to not\nreally mind each other.\n\nI think it's also very important to note that while Sebastian only wants Ciel,\nCiel needs Sebastian. I believe it is a lot more likely for Ciel to care for\nSebastian than it is for Sebastian to care for Ciel considering that Sebastian\nhas been Ciel's primary caretaker since his parents' death. However, while\nmore likely, it isn't a very high chance that he actually does. Had Ciel\nactually gained those feelings towards Sebastian, I would imagine that\nSebastian would have considered him too weak to complete his goal, and\ntherefore eat his soul right then and there. I mean, what kind of earl would\ndesire a friendship with a mere servant?\n\nThis is only my take on things, so it may not be entirely right.
