It's really the third one that's the problem. Good rule lawyering breaks the power creep, especially if the protagonist is the one that's being overshadowed and it can become a loop of escalating threats that seemingly never interact. With Fate it's usually some factoids like "I am a famous dragon hunter and you are known to have dragon ancestry so my attacks are super effective".
you have never been in a real fight in your life then because you would know damn near anything could give either you or the person you're fighting an advantage or disadvantage
Yup.
I guess that can work as long as the facts are established ahead of time, otherwise it can feel like an asspull.
A single hit often doesn't matter in battles on the scales they're on in anime. Often they'll even let a guy get in a free clean hit to show they're big dicked. Mike Tyson in his prime could afford to take one from me too, so it's not particularly unrealistic, especially by fantasy standards.
Technically established if you know some obscure lore about mythological/pseudo-historical figures.
Still keeping my expectations low for the new season's dub, translators are at their worst right now and adding shit dialogue to a show like this and enraging the fans that come with it, I just can't see them passing that up.
Also Sabat, Rial and Marchi reprising their roles will be a very bad look for them. Maybe they should for the lulzy hypocrisy that'll ensue.
Fate/ strange fake, December 31st, show based off a very old light novel series
I genuinely, genuinely believe it was the PETTIEST of ""relationship"" drama that led to some sort of misunderstanding/rage between this absolutely fucked 6-pointed love triangle at funimation. Unfortunately that means Vic is somewhat responsible for being a chad manwhore getting into everyone, apparently...
I hope it's also a Gundam F91 reference since there are lots of parallels between Musk and Iron Mask:
Actually happened in Buu saga, with a mook though
Wasn’t that Cell Saga with the Clown Android that Vegeta baits because he basically gambles that the Androids have a finite amount of energy they can absorb?
That's actually pretty cool then.
Ate you referring to the dude who Hercule beat the shit out of for killing his dog? If so, Buu just blew thr guy up from the inside by overfilling him with mass like a water balloon.
I don't think that was his gamble, he let Android 19 grab him in the hopes he could rip his arms off before he lost too much energy to him. He actually did lose quite a lot and had to bluff that he didn't so Android 20 would flee, giving him a chance to eat a Senzu Bean and give chase.
Oh, right, can't believe I forgot about him.
If there's one thing Chinese people don't do, it's learn other languages. They hate doing that. They really hate it because out of everyone in Asia, they're the most racist to anyone who isn't Chinese, and even then, they'll be racist to those with a different dialect.
Did Gate ever move past the "laughably incompetent villains getting utterly BTFO by the heroes" shtick?
Why would it?
