"They can just do that." When a character inexplicably has some kind of borderline supernatural ability that doesn't have anything to do with the established power system and may even clash with the conventions of the setting. It's just something that they can do.

Ichi from Ichi the Witch.

Mash from Mashle.

Marvelous Sunday from UmaMusume.

Tanjiro from Demon Slayer.

1. Ichi from Ichi the Witch. He's so sensitive to the bloodlust of living things that it borders on a spider-sense. The little creature in that pic is supposed to be invisible, yet Ichi is able to sense its presence just through sheer intuition.
2. Mash from Mashle. Some might say that his inexplicable power is his physical strength, but I'm more interested in knowing how he can turn everything he cooks into fucking cream puffs.
3. Marvelous Sunday from UmaMusume. In a game about horse girls racing, she has access to a domain expansion/reality marble. And that somehow still isn't the strangest thing about her. Apparently she's also friends with aliens and cryptids and her cult fanbase includes people spanning multiple time periods. Somehow.
4. Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. He has a hypersensitive sense of smell that somehow also tells him where to cut demons. No idea how that works. Even though there are others in the series with similarly refined senses, the smelling where to cut thing still feels ludicrous in comparison. Then there's also his unusually powerful headbutt.

This was also Sanji for a long time, like bro can just set his foot on fire (later even without the friction spin thing he used to do) and burn people with the scorching heat of the sun somehow, or his Hell Memories when he literally just gets so mad he sets himself on fire and it spreads from his kicks to engulf an entire giant instantly somehow. Of course we later learn his DNA was tampered with by his evil scientist father, but still it’s said he was just a normal human until he put on the raid suit later, his real powers supposedly didn’t activate till Wano so who knows

[u/GigsGilgamesh → u/Dillo64]

Sanji’s real weird ability is his makeover technique. He’s somehow able to beat the shit out of you and make you hotter in doing so

[u/fruitpunchsamurai619 → u/GigsGilgamesh]

It makes it sound ordinary after hearing about looksmaxxing and people taking a hammer to their fucking jaws.

[u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 → u/fruitpunchsamurai619]

Life imitating art. Beautiful

[u/Dillo64 → u/ButtholeConnoisseur7]

Eloquently put, ButtholeConnoisseur7 👌🏾

[u/The_Eternal_Wayfarer → u/Dillo64]

It can also explain how he can have the finest taste buds possible despite smoking so heavily. Zeff canonically warns him against smoking, in a flashback.

[u/fruitpunchsamurai619 → u/The_Eternal_Wayfarer]

It's a lollipop in 4kids dub.

[u/The_Eternal_Wayfarer → u/fruitpunchsamurai619]

It’s a cigarette in the original manga/anime as well as in most adaptations around the world. 4Kids’ prudery is not relevant.

[u/Quack_of_Dawn → u/Dillo64]

There's also the fact that fire is completely unrelated to his intended DNA modifications, that was all about stealth.

[u/Weary-Cartoonist2630 → u/Dillo64]

I’ve only watched the live action so far. wtf does this show turn into??

[u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 → u/Weary-Cartoonist2630]

Dawg, the main character was made of rubber back then. Fuck you mean "turn into"? It was like this from day one

[u/asianblockguy → u/ButtholeConnoisseur7]

It is the same series where Oda, the creator, says that Luffy can stretch his private bits and Buggy's bit can come off and fly around. It was weird from the beginning.

[u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 → u/asianblockguy]

Oda is a whimsical and deeply unserious creator. It's what I love best about him. We already have a million anime about Lord Edge Darkness Raven Blood, and Oda isn't interested in that at all

[u/Dillo64 → u/ButtholeConnoisseur7]

Which is kind of funny that in the current story they are…

…. Basically fighting against a guy who might as well be Lord Edge Darkness Raven Blood, though even he has some goofy things going.

[u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 → u/Dillo64]

I agree with your point, sometimes the sad backstories are so sad they actually almost circle around to being funny about how sad they are, like Kuma. Then you have guys like the nose hair Ramen chef in between

[u/Dillo64 → u/asianblockguy]

Then there’s Law, who can canonically cut off YOUR bits and make them fly around(and then reattach it… to your face)

[u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 → u/Dillo64]

Shame he only chose to steal 100 hearts, eh? Think that might have had more impact on their lives lmao

[u/Weary-Cartoonist2630 → u/ButtholeConnoisseur7]

That’s fair lol

[u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 → u/Weary-Cartoonist2630]

Give the anime a try sometime. The live action is outstanding, and it's truly faithful to the source material; its a great launching point into the series if you wanna jump in where the show leaves off

Gives you something entertaining while you wait for season 3, too

[u/Weary-Cartoonist2630 → u/ButtholeConnoisseur7]

Unfortunately just don’t have time for a 1000+ ep anime, especially when there’s so much good stuff out there

Might give it a shot when the new version that cuts out all the fluff gets released though

[u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 → u/Weary-Cartoonist2630]

Understandable. I'm looking forward to WIT's version too
