The Montreal Tokyo Screwjob. The Jump building can burn to the ground once One Piece and Black Clover are over with, as far as I'm concerned. And really? Incompetent writing? Is that why Naruto was allowed to run to completion? And that has nothing to do with it anyway. Hunter x Hunter's world-building is ass and doesn't even make sense. The world is barely developed and what is doesn't even make any sense. And none of the characters are likable, it's boring, nothing happens. I guess those readers must have Stockholm Syndrome, lol. I'm still not wholly unconvinced that Togashi wasn't replaced with an evil alien clone, Michael Jackson style, because I can't fathom that this same man also wrote Yu Yu Hakusho, which was actually good. Also, the character designs? Lame or boring! Yu Yu Hakusho characters looked cool! What the hell man! You'd probably be more accurate to say I was salty over Hunter x Hunter getting picked up instead of Fairy Tail, but that happened with multiple long-runners Toonami picked up. But, no, Hunter x Hunter just isn't good. But, your beloved shonen won't have a proper ending, either, so -

Diminished capacity. Oh fuck you. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2018/07/26/mythbusters-jr-why-adam-savage-returned-franchise/846138002/ "So who are the lucky kids and teens who get to play with the explosive C-4? The impressive bunch includes: Valerie Castillo, a 15-year-old who specializes in robotics and building; Elijah Horland, a 12-year-old self-taught programmer; Cannan Huey-You, a 12-year-old currently enrolled in college; Jesse Lawless, a 15-year-old who built a mini-motorcycle at age 12; Rachel Pizzolato, a 14-year-old who has remodeled houses; and Allie Weber, a 13-year-old inventor." The description from these videos. "The junior MythBusters are: Valerie Castillo: This 15-year-old from Lancaster, CA, is a skilled builder and robotics wiz, who is also experienced in CAD drawing and 3D printing. In 2017 Valerie was the team leader of her school’s robotics team that won the state championship, qualifying them to go to the World’s VEX Robotics competition. Valerie and her partner recently won 1st place in their school’s science fair, which later won 2nd place district wide. Elijah Horland: The 12-year-old from Brooklyn is a self-taught maker, programmer & circuit wiz. At 9 years-old, he started building PCs and “Franken-Mac” computers; at 10 years old, he took his first microcontroller and was blinking LEDs in one night, soldering his first circuit boards by the end of the same week. By 11 he was featured in “Make” for his early-model “min-tin” sized video game system, now a staple of maker culture. Cannan Huey-You: A 12-year-old with a background in coding, robotics and motion physics, Cannan will be entering his second year of college in the fall at Texas Christian University where he’s a double major in Physics & Astronomy and Engineering. His dream is to be an astronaut and perhaps be one of the first humans to walk on Mars. Jesse Lawless: This Slidell, Louisiana 15-year-old has been around cars in his dad’s custom hot rod shop since he was a baby. After building a mini chopper by himself at the age of 12, he entered a car show and won 1st place. From fixing up jacked up 4x4s to building scooters, to modifying radio controlled cars, Jesse knows his way around a vehicle. He is also skilled at drawing, crafting and building models. Rachel Pizzolato: The 14-year-old from Metairie, Louisiana is a builder who has been involved with remodeling houses with her father since a young age. In 2017 Rachel was awarded the Duke TIP challenge certificate and presented her current project to the 2017 American Geophysical Union at Bright Stars, a forum that hosted over 20,000 earth and space scientists from around the world. Allie Weber: The South Dakota 13-year-old is a multiple award-winning, patent pending inventor, builder, and maker. An advocate for STEAM, in 2017 Allie was recognized as one of the 21 under 21 girls who are changing the world by Teen Vogue magazine and was also recognized by 3M as one of the top 10 young scientists in the country. In 2016 Allie won the Global Spark Lab Invent-It-Challenge with a frostbite warning system." None of my sources even mentioned some of the stuff that was talked about in the show. Rachel won some science engineering competition 3 years in a row, and is also a gymnast! She's good at more than one thing! Uh-oh! You could watch the first episode where it talks all about it. https://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/mythbusters-jr/full-episodes/duct-tape-special You want to talk about "diminished capacity" when you obviously don't know what you're talking about. You didn't read any of the links. Those kids are all super-prodigies, some in multiple fields. One of the 12 year old kids is in college. So yeah it's a little more than what you were talking about "duct tape and Abe Lincoln trivia." And I wouldn't even say Kirito is even on the level of those kids. Kirito is basically just your average nerdy gamer tech junkie kid. It's not like he's even presented as some child prodigy or anything.

They really should have done a better job of building these new characters up. Especially if this is our first female Super Saiyan after all these years of waiting, and this is how it happens? It reeks of laziness. I thought @Daos said this was the "good part." -

"90% of comments" doesn't mean much, especially with how certain people seem to flock to certain videos, and I think you know what I'm talking about. "Most hated" sounds like a stretch. I thought they said most hated in Dragon Ball, and maybe that could be true, because I can't think of any character that's particularly hated in Dragon Ball. But "all of anime?" I do agree though that the rushed and cheap way Caulifa achieved Super Saiyan was lame, though. -

Black Clover Page 52 Discussion Last time on Black Clover, the Diamond Kingdom inexplicably decided to attack right when the Clover Kingdom is dealing with Eye of the Midnight Sun. Well, maybe not so inexplicable and smart strategy, really. Yami is using it as a chance to help out and also confront William Vangeance who totally doesn't use Light Magic, you guys. Asta and Charmy are also along, and we see how Yuno has grown in power and ability, and his wind fairy in annoyance. Find out how it all goes down tonight, on Black Clover!

It would be the same for Gohan but he still had to have an emotional breakthrough for it to work. And it was like that for Future Trunks, transforming after Gohan died. Eh, depends on the circumstances. Maybe the Saiyans in that universe work differently, they were already really strong to begin with, etc. Still would have been better if Caulifa was someone we spent more time with and there was more build up to this, and it didn't happen so casually. Still hoping Pan will finally get her due some day. -
See, it's unclear if it's meant to be like a dystopia or if this is meant to be considered normal and acceptable in this world, since no one really seems to bat an eye to any of it, and most if not all of the characters are pretty immoral or sociopathic. Maybe human psychology doesn't even work the same way in this world. It's not really clear what the author is going for, or if he even knows what he's going for. The whole world is just a mess. So, the solution is to keep nen a secret but still let nen users do whatever they want. Ok lol. Doesn't really seem like they're trying to counterbalance anything, more like hoarding power and knowledge of nen, while keeping themselves untouchable. There was no sign of any prohibition of nen teaching when Gon and Killua learned about it either, or anywhere else in the show prior to that. Also it wasn't until fucking 50-something episodes in, and we learn about it in the most boring way possible from the most boring character possibly conceived. But what you really should have said was the show is supposed to be all about the nen users and we're not supposed to think about how people with these abilities might affect the actual rest of the world. It's woefully underdeveloped and what is, is nonsensical. Basically it's a bunch of over-powered people with no consequences and nothing to keep them in check but each other, and there's not exactly a virtuous group of nen users or maybe even individual, so... Did you see all the ridiculous requirements to get permission? Basically no one is going to get in there but the protagonists. Still doesn't explain why it's on a celebrity house tour! Imagine if mob bosses' houses were on tours. Sure, you could maybe visit their house or museum and see memorabilia and artifacts, AFTER they're dead or in prison.

What is there to decipher? All he has to do is save the code. He's already in the admin console. Why would the admin need to hack his own console? 16... check my links above. Given he was able to make that item on the spot I'd wager it's not unusual to be able to craft such jewelry items and Kirito probably did it before in his spare time. Or he placed Yui into an item he already had in his inventory. I think what's lacking here is your imagination. Besides, of all the bitchings that have ever been bitched about SAO over the years, you're the first one I can remember that ever complained about WELL HOW COME NO ONE HACKED INTO IT. The big thing I remember some people complaining about was it taking so long for us to learn the players were being kept in hospitals... which is common sense. Also it would ruin the isolation and immersion of the game world that we were supposed to feel trapped in along with the players to see the real world again so soon. Whether the game could be hacked or not is not important to the story. After everything that happened does everyone getting broken out by hackers sound very compelling to you? And like I said if the devices are tampered with they fry the user, and connection is lost once they're dead, so no way to hack even if you wanted to. But all you can do is nitpick around the edges. You lose sight of the big picture.

So, like, did they confiscate that tablet and the magic stones? If that's not possible, do they have Magic Knights there guarding it? Do the Eye of the Midnight Sun still have access it? Because then why would it matter if they got more of the stones? Poor Gordon haha. Power of Friendship hahahaha. LOL Noelle.
