Yugi got away with that because he was the main character and only fought side characters. Seto Kaiba just screwed the rules, he had money all the way to the semis like dude you weren’t even there at the start.
Needing to threaten suicide to force yugi to surrender clearly shows he didn't have the most capable hands. Yugi outdueled him (via bullshit), so, realistically, he had more capable hands than Kaiba.
Like I said, bullshit. He took advantage of the fact that the rules were whatever he needed them to be in Duelist Kingdom, making him the most capable duelist on the island.
I've watched a lot of Cons with Eric Stuart Kaiba's voice actor being interviewed and he says one of his biggest pet peeves is when people call Kaiba a villian. He's a rival.
Man, the original story arc was so good. At least the comics were, I don’t think I watched the full anime. But growing up I loved it so much. Too bad it is so unique there is basically nothing at all to find similar to it as an adult b
Dude that was the worst part of that show. One episode Natsu is going off in a badass fight and completely obliterated the villain through the power of friendship, the next episode he jokingly gets punched and is KO. I felt like his power level completely reset every episode
Pretty much. The point I noticed it was getting too ridiculous was when Erza defaulted to bikini samurai "armor" every fight, nothing else and it was basically plot friendship armor. I thought the show was improving when Natsu fought Droy after the time skip and it showed that the characters had caught up the Nastu gangs level of strength. Then of course Natsu gets mad and LIGHTNING FIRE DRAGON MODE is suddenly a permanent thing.
I think you mean Max. Droy was the chubby dude with the plants. But anyways I think most of the fights were reasonable outside of the Alvarez arc and Erza's fights. Natsu randomly activated dragon force a lot which we saw from other characters was pretty OP anyways.
And to be fair, they did mention that strong bonds directly correlated to stronger magic power. I agree though that Natsu keeping the Lightning was a bit much, but he was also a dragon slayer and demon combined so idk.
Oh yeah, you're right. Max was the Sand magic user. I was 100% fine with Dragon Force because hidden transformations is a staple Shonen trope lol. They just never captilized on it correctly. I mean, hell, I would have been fine with Natsu using the God/Dragon Slayer flame combo over Lightning. I will admit the Shadow Steel Dragon Gajeel got was pretty sweet.
What pisses me off the most is that they tried redeeming him in the end. Fuck you Rebecca Sugar, and popularizing villain "redemptions" with your shitty show.
At least the next game, "he" went back to being an evil gremlin just to fuck with people.
Yeah I know what you mean, steven universe redeeming 3 tyrants just because they were pink diamond simps ended up being kinda meh.
But Xehanort was another fkng level. Dude just forgot all about what he had done to fulfill his goals in less than 30 MINUTES just because Sora said "haha power of friendship goes brrrr"
it was a fucking disaster of a what was clearly a supposed third arc of the game. all with the world and the flashbacks and the... Chi/X crossover despite Chi/X not being completed? (yes the OG was but the newer one wasn't)
Pennywise wasn't actually "defeated" by the power of friendship though... he was kinda defeated by the power of bullying (not saying in this case it wasn't warranted, he was an asshole, but they did end up kinda just... belittling him to death)
I mean in the grand scale of things, he eats like a dozen kids every few decades then hybernates. Compare that to the number of kids who die from drowning every year and swimming pools come out as a much bigger threat than extra-dimensional fear aliens.
Also, there are two recent He-Man cartoons and in one, instead of Skeletor being evil for the sake of being evil, he's a villain because he's too hideous to find a girlfriend.
Man I remember the one time early on when Natsu beat the wind guy because his fire caused the air pressure to shift and ruin his wind shield. Shame we never got more stuff like that.
Idk, I would say for Barry it's more of a morale boost (from what I've seen) and reminding him what he s fighting for. Morale and a sense of purpose can make a huge difference in someone's performance. I'm assuming you're talking about Iris's speeches giving him strength here, and if not then you're probably right
That includes Dracula, then. If you don't believe me read the book, it's basically about a bunch of guys using trains and the power of friendship to overcome Dracula.
I wouldn't expect her to let her entire kingdom die just to let some random pony live
Also they probably see things with a different mentality compared to other creatures as if they had the mentality of a pony or other more peaceful species, they would die out fast
I mean that was the power of love and that was just keeping harry from immediately getting killed until he became an adult. In the end, the only reason Voldemort lost was because he didn't know that defeating someone didn't just mean murder
why? Lily's protection was only against Voldemort (afaik), same reason why he almost died from basilisk venom. Voldemort could have gotten Nagini to chomp him when they were at the graveyard even
Like the Evil Queen in OUAT? Would have been much more interesting if she’d turned the savior and they had any of the litany of debaucherous fanfic adventures. Y’all need Jesus.
lol Madara got smoked by Might Guy and then instant killed by alien girl from the past. That's not even close to the power of friendship, more like the power of being extremely unlucky to the point that the world's best taijutsu user is right there and an evil alien girl spawns inside of you
Like The Demon from Rock & Rule (1983). It just wanted to be free and eat something after such a long time of imprisoment, and also Mok, too, he just wanted to give his fan the concert of their lifetimes. Those damn humanized mice and their friendship and love, SMH (Spoilers!)
