It was evident in the case of Tsunade's\nparents who were half Senju and half Uzumaki because very little is known\nabout them, but it was certain that they were no shinobi.\n\nThe concept of not having interclan marriages was high when nations were at\nwar and having a technique unique to only one family/clan meant that their\ncountry would have an advantage over the enemy. Like in the case of Kimimaro's\nClan. But since it was evident that every offspring couldn't awaken their\nbloodline limit, interclan marriages were often held.\n\nIn the case of the Uchiha, there was never any protocol to marry within\nUchiha. Because their Kekkai Genkai was not easy to awaken, even for those who\nwere descendants of great Uchiha shinobi. Even if someone from outside their\nclan awakened the Sharingan, it would do a great deal of damage to one's body\nand eventually lead to death (as in Kakashi's case where he was paralyzed for\nan entire week after using his Mangeky Sharingan to save Gaara.

Hit's timeskip allowed him to dodge both the attacks which is why he managed to survive.\n * Even during the rematch between Goku and Hit, we see Goku capable of tanking multiple blows from Hit and even surviving a shot which almost killed him.

Jiren: He is the strongest mortal in the anime at the moment and his power is said to rival that of a Hakaishin. He obviously possesses a lot of techniques and experience like Goku but ultimately, what makes him unbelievable strong is just his brute strength and power. We do know that technique can sometimes counter power. (We see hit being able to do this with goku), However, Jiren's power rivals that of Beerus (at 100%). So his power is off the scale and even Hit's best technique wasn't sufficient enough to subdue him. \n 2. UI Goku: This transformation is Goku utilising a skill which the Gods strive to master. At the same time, it certainly does act as a power multiplier which makes him very strong and he's definitely not in his base form or his attacks wouldn't even touch Kefla or Jiren. One's he manages to attack perfectly in this state, and match Jiren's power, it would bring him closer to the power of the gods\n\n# High Tier\n\n 1. Goku SSJB + Kaioken*20\n 2. Kefla SSJ2 \n 3. Toppo\n 4. Vegeta SSJB = Golden Freiza\n 5. Hit\n\nIn terms of power, Hit is a lot weaker than the rest of the high tier\ncharacters. He is certainly very powerful, but even a mid tier character like\n17, gohan or dyspo (Fighting at full power) might be able to give Hit some\ntrouble if they manage to counter his special abilities which they very likely\nwouldn't be able to because of Hit's superior experience and complex level of\nskill. Also, you need to realize that Goku wouldn't struggle with Hit's time\nskip anymore in his UI state. Unlike Goku who needed some time to adjust to\ntime skip, Jiren was able to completely dodge all of Hits attacks and even\ncounter most of the time initially simply because of his amazing reaction\ntime. The UI transformation makes Goku's reaction time perfect, so\ntechnically, Goku would be able to dodge hit's time skip and overpower him.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-07T06:15:11.593", "id": "43690", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-07T06:15:11.593", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "43684", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 }, { "body": "\n\n**Overpowered** is the correct description for Jiren.

[ { "body": "\n\nI am going to present my personal viewpoint regarding this question.\n\nFirstly, there is a common assumption that just like Whis serves Beerus,\nDaishinkan also serves Zeno and therefore by this analogy, just like Whis is\nstronger than Beerus, Daishinkan _\"could\"_ be stronger than Zeno. The problem\nwith this analogy is it doesn't consider the differences regarding the\nservices provided by the Angels and the Grand Priest.\n\nWhis serves as a mentor trains Beerus in combat. But Zeno is not a fighter. So\nthere is no need for Daishinkan to train Zeno. Thus Daishinkan plays a role\nwhich could be considered akin to a **_secretary/butler/advisor/minister_** to\nZeno.\n\nNow since Daishinkan is Whis's father and much much stronger than Whis, the\nquestion is **Why would Daishinkan serve the Omni-king if not to train him?**\n\nThe only plausible explaination then would be that he was created to serve\nZeno in an advisory role _(that is the Grand Priest's purpose)_.\n\nSecondly, nowhere in Dragonball Super it is mentioned that the Angels are\nindestructible or free from Zeno's wrath. It is only mentioned that _the\nangels will not be wiped out after the TOP._\n\n**Why?**\n\nMaybe because, Zeno didn't feel like it.\n\nOr maybe Daishinkan talked him out of it.\n\nMaybe the other angels are also related to Daishinkan and he doesn't want to\nsee his kin erased like the previous 6 universes, so he persuades Zeno.\n\nMaybe the angels have been kept alive because there is a chance Zeno might\nressurect all the wiped universes.\n\nWe don't know. We only know that there are too many maybe's here and no\ndefinite answer. The only safe option here is to assume that the _previous\nangels were also probably erased along with the previous 6 out of 18\nuniverses_ but this time the remaining angels have been spared this fate.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-08T10:36:36.507", "id": "43706", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-08T10:36:36.507", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "37076", "parent_id": "43701", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

I don't know if **_Dragon Ball Z Kai_** counts exactly as a \"reboot\", but it is a modified version of **_Dragon Ball Z_** , in HD, with new color, new lines, new backgrounds, re-recorded voices and sound effects, new openings and endings, new background music, deleted scenes and episodes, etc.\n\n 3. **_Dragon Ball Super_** is a continuation of **_Dragon Ball Z_** and **_Dragon Ball_**.\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-09T03:00:14.873", "id": "43714", "last_activity_date": "2018-04-25T14:20:59.570", "last_edit_date": "2018-04-25T14:20:59.570", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "3028", "parent_id": "43711", "post_type": "answer", "score": 7 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nI highly doubt it.\n\nFirst of all, we have no evidence to suggest that any slayer magic is of a\nhigher tier than any other slayer magic. Wendy and Chelia were about equal\nwhen they fought, and Natsu actually defeated Zancrow in combat despite\nZancrow's God Slayer magic. Therefore END's Demon Slayer magic isn't\nnecessarily better than Natsu's Dragon Slayer magic.\n\nSecondly, Natsu is END. That means that we don't have any evidence to suggest\nthat END is anything more than Natsu wielding Fire Demon Slayer magic as\neffectively as he wields Fire Dragon Slayer magic.\n\nSo looking at the matchup, I would argue that Natsu is actually better suited\nto 1v1ing Acnologia as a Fire Dragon Slayer than as a Demon Dragon Slayer. You\nsee, slayer magic is designed to defeat the entity they are named after. That\nmeans Fire Dragon Slayer magic is more effective against dragons than Fire\nDemon Slayer magic. (Chapter 301, Zealconis states that humans were given the\nmagic to slay dragons. That's logically Dragon Slayer magic, and you can\ndeduce that X Slayer magic means magic to slay X).\n\nThe reason Zeref designed END is because he wanted to get hit with the most\npowerful Demon Slayer Magic that existed, since Demon Slayer magic is more\neffective against his demon body.\n\nAt any rate, if Natsu with his super-effective-against-dragons magic can't\nbeat Acnologia without the power of friendship, I doubt he could do so with\nless effecive magic.\n\n", "comment_count": 5, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-11T23:56:20.903", "id": "43747", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-11T23:56:20.903", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "36342", "parent_id": "43713", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 }, { "body": "\n\nBryan Tan [answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/43747/6345) has described\nmost of the part.

I believe it’s possible for E.N.D could beat Acnologia. Though, not a lot\nof information has been stated about END but he’s happened to break through a\ntime freeze. Assuming he’s using curse power since most demons do, it would be\neasier on Acnologia. Also, the reason gray was able to go toe-to-toe with\nnatsu was because he had demon slayer magic. A magic that was made to deal\nwith those type of demons and curses. It’s been shown when gray mange to\nfreeze curse power and he was immune to the ‘thorn curse that removes your\nexistence.” Also, the reason Igneel didn’t kill natsu wasn’t because he wasn’t\nstrong enough. It was because he wanted to raise him. If you wanna add ‘dragon\ncry’ which some people say isn’t canon even though it’s mentioned in the\nmanga, he uses E.N.D form to slay a dragon. So yes, I believe it’s possible\nfor E.N.D to slay Acnologia. Also, a lot of people keep saying that Acnologia\nover used Dragon slayer Magic which caused him to turn into one but that isn’t\ntrue. That was a side effect of dragon slayer Magic which was shown with\nErza’s Mother. Igneel and the other dragons created the anti-bodies which stop\nnatsu the rest of the slayer from transforming. The reason Acnologia is OP is\nbecause he slay hundreds of dragon and bathed in their blood. It’s been stated\nthat dragon slayers power could increase by bathing in dragon Blood. It’s been\nsaid by rogue and stings dragons. Though it’s not been said why or how he’s\nable to eat magic and is immune, but my theory is that he’s so op that he’s\nnow able to eat any element also because he absorbs dragon souls too. The only\nreason why natsu and the slayer beat Acnologia was because they used Fairy\nspheres while he was on a boat. A dragon slayers weakness. Anyways, E.N.D was\nsupposed to be strong than Zeref and I’m sure they’re gonna release more of\nhim in the 100 year quest. But in my opinion, yes, E.N.D could beat Acnologia.\nHe was able to break through frozen time, slay a dragon (dragon cry) and even\nburn almost everything in his path.

Also, Vados's comment during Goku vs Kefla. \n \nIt was also stated by Vados, that **Jiren's** reaction time is near to\nperfect. We can conclude the same based on the last comment she made when Hit\nattacked Jiren after Jiren defeated Goku. She said that most warriors are open\nimmediately after fighting an enemy and Jiren didn't even have that weakness\nand he reacted immediately to block hit. We also see Jiren being able to dodge\nthe first **Kick** from **Ultra Instinct Goku**. \n \nWe also see in the Ultra Instinct state, Goku was doing fairly well with Jiren\ndespite Jiren's physical power being significantly higher compared to Goku's.\nSo in other words, the transformation made Goku's reaction time better than\nJiren which is why Jiren had trouble landing attacks. However, Jiren's\n**reaction time** is extremely good enough to easily react to **Hit's time\nskip** and his attack which Goku couldn't that easily. \n \nI believe every **God Tier fighter** , ie God's of destructions and Jiren have\nrequire very minimal time to react and hence have UI mastered down to an\nextent. However, it is not to the same extent as that of Whis and the other\nangels and Goku has possibly mastered the dodging part, to the same extent as\nWhis.

To summarize, long ago there was a civilization of winged moon\npeople called the Birkans whose technological feats included sentient robots\nand ships capable of interplanetary travel. Running out of resources on the\nmoon they used these aforementioned ships to carry them down to the White sea\nwith one particular group making it all the way down to the Blue sea.\n\n[![Birkans leave the\nmoon](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tW83N.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tW83N.png)\n\nThe descendants of the moon people can be identified by the wings on their\nbacks which include the White sea civilizations of\n[Skypiea](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Skypiea) and\n[Birka](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Birka) (Enel's homeland, not to be\nconfused with the ancient moon civilization), and the Blue sea Shandorian\ncivilization on the island of Jaya. When did the moon people come down to the\nBlue sea? We do not know exactly but according to the tombstone for the city\nof Shandora Robin translates in Ch 261\n\n[![Rise and Fall of\nShandora](https://i.stack.imgur.com/fIM9t.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/fIM9t.png)\n\nthe city of Shandora prospered in the year 402 (~1100 years ago) meaning it\nwas settled by the moon people some time before then and fell ~800 years ago\nwhich places its fall around the tail end of the Void Century. In Ch 272 Robin\ntranslates some text inside the city of Shandora written in the language of\nthe Poneglyphs,\n\n[![Erasure of Shandorian\nhistory](https://i.stack.imgur.com/KcPM4.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/KcPM4.png)\n\nThe text refers to how the city of Shandora fought to protect its Poneglyph\nagainst an enemy and as a result, their civilization was destroyed and their\nhistory erased. While some people survived and became the\n[Shandians](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Shandia) the Shandorian\ncivilization was gone, their golden city fell to ruin and their history and\nliterature was lost in the void.\n\nSpeaking of the void and the fall of Shandora, what happened in the Void\nCentury? I have no idea and that's kind of the point, just about nobody knows\nwhat happened in the Void Century. What we do know is that it was a period of\nhistory that started ~900 years ago and lasted around 100 years. While\nhistorical records exist of the time before and after the Void Century, what\nhappened during these hundred years can only be found on the Poneglyphs.\nResearching the Poneglyphs/Void Century is forbidden by the World Government\nand punishable by death.

Meaning Shandora was once a powerful civilization and may or may not\nhave been technologically advanced but due to being erased from history we\nCANNOT know if this was the case.\n\nIn the main story of One Piece, in the year 1122 (~400 years ago and 400 years\nafter the fall of Shandora) we are introduced to the Shandians through the\nfirst hand accounts of Mont Blanc Noland (Ch 287-293). The Shandians are\ndescendants of the Shandorians but are a rather low tech society bearing none\nof the hallmarks of the ancient Birkan civilization (robots and flying ships).\nThey live in a village quite far away from the ruins of Shandora. In 1127,\nthey are launched along with half of Jaya by the [Knock Up\nStream](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Knock_Up_Stream) into the White sea\nisland of Skypiea.\n\nOne thing to note is that while the Shandian's don't seem to have much of the\nmoon people technology, Enel's flying ship he uses to reach the moon is\nreminiscent of the moon peoples ship and given he's from Birka they may have\nhad the blueprints/knowledge of interplanetary ships inherited from the moon\npeople.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2022-05-17T04:48:29.100", "id": "66811", "last_activity_date": "2022-05-17T04:48:29.100", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "51043", "parent_id": "43751", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

Here is a list of all the times Vegeta surpassed Goku.\n\n* **Android Saga(When Vegeta First turns SSJ)** : It was mentioned by Picollo when Vegeta turned SSJ that he was notably stronger than Goku. This was the same time Goku was infected with the heart virus. \n* **Cell Games(Post HTC)** : Once Vegeta and Future Trunks came out of the HTC just before Goku went in with Gohan, Vegeta was obviously stronger than Goku then.\n* **Battle of Gods(vs Beerus)** : This is notably the highest margin by which Vegeta has surpassed Goku. Base Vegeta was definitely as stronger or weaker than Base Goku at this time. The SSJ2 transformation is a 100 times multiplier while the SSJ3 is a 400 times multiplier. Vegeta surpassing the same with his rage boost, made him a lot stronger than SSJ3 Goku.\n* **6 Months of training with Whis** : We do not know this to a certainty, however, it was stated by Goku once he went to Beerus's world to train with Whis that Vegeta might be as strong or possibly even stronger than him. \n* **Rematch against Goku Black(Note: Kaioken is not considered here because it is a special technique)** : While Goku was mastering the mafuba, Vegeta trained in the HTC and surpassed Goku. Vegeta overwhelmed Black until he converted his ki blade to a scythe.(Black was slower, yet his power had surpassed Vegeta's again). Also, note that this might not be very accurate because we see Goku pushing back a holy wrath from Merged Zamasu and fighting him on his own while Future Trunks(SSJ Rage)+SSJB Vegeta together struggled to push back a beam attack from Merged Zamasu. My only explanation for the same is that Goku got a Zenkai Boost which made him as strong as Vegeta was by the end of this arc.\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-13T18:50:44.290", "id": "43772", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-13T23:28:18.863", "last_edit_date": "2017-12-13T23:28:18.863", "last_editor_user_id": "31104", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "43771", "post_type": "answer", "score": 9 }, { "body": "\n\nAll the above plus when vegeta healed up after his fight with Racoom is\nsuspect.

[ { "body": "\n\nAnswer your main question, Does Freiza have God ki? **The answer would be\nNo**. However, only **God Ki people can feel other people's ki is incorrect**.\n\nGod ki is mainly perfect ki control. You could compare it to something that\nhappened back in dragon ball where they were capable of masking their ki and\nused to power up while engaging in battle with a foe. This is a much more\ncomplex version of the same where Goku and Vegeta have mastered energy\ncontrol.\n\nWhile Goku is in the God transformation, since Frieza couldn't **directly\nsense his energy,** we see him strike Goku in his final form and tells him\nthat he was gauging his power. Even after he turns to Golden Freiza, Freiza\ncould feel the pressure of Super Saiyan Ki and managed to gauge the difference\nin strength based on that.\n\nFreiza is a very experienced fighter. He's also a fighting prodigy. So him\nassessing Goku's power based on the **Pressure** from SSJB, is not something\nimpossible. Also, Freiza **wasn't able to gauge Goku's power exactly** both\nduring their first fight and a later on fight. Goku initially was holding back\nagainst Golden Freiza, **(Not by a substantial amount. Also please note that\nFreiza was holding back as well)**. Freiza hence didn't use enough energy to\ndestroy Goku when he had the chance. It was after Goku figured out the stamina\ndrain that the two of them powered up to full power. During their second\nfight, Freiza was shocked when he realised **Goku in his SSJB state was as\nstrong as Golden Freiza**. We see this by the expression on his face when the\ntwo of them exchange punches. When Goku fought Krillin and When Vegeta fought\nFuture Trunks, they both stated that they could feel an immense amount of\npressure even if they aren't able to sense the exact amount of energy.\n\nNow take Caulifla and Kale during the tournament of power. Since they are\nneither aware of God ki and are very experienced as fighters, they were more\nstartled by the Super Saiyan 3 transformation than any of the God\ntransformations despite those being a lot Superior.\n\nFinally, let us consider the mighty **Jiren the Gray**. We know Jiren doesn't\nhave god ki as his energy is felt by all the other contestants. Yet, in the\nstart, when Goku punched him in his SSJ forms, he didn't move. When Goku\nturned SSJG at struck him, how did he **detect the power of the transformation\nand raise his finger**? His experience as a fighter allowed him to sense how\nstrong Goku was. Jiren was holding back immensely against SSJB Goku and even\nSSJB+ Kaioken*20 Goku. If Jiren couldn't sense Goku's energy, he probably\nwould've sensed more energy from someone like **Maji Kayo** and attempted to\npunch Goku out using the force of his fist. Very experienced fighters can\ngauge the amount of power a user has while he or she is utilizing God Ki. We\nalso know Goku only attains God ki during his SSJB and SSJG transformations.\nHowever, when Goku fought **Beerus in his base form aka(Monaka), **Goku said\nthat his ki felt like Beerus's ki.\n\nI believe utilizing God ki is a lot different from being able to sense it. God\nki basically involves energy control where you mask your ki a lot. Even\nfighters who do not possess god ki can do the same. We see Hit doing the same\ninitially during his fight with Vegeta and even his rematch with Goku. Even\nJiren does the same until his fight with Goku as the Universe 6 Kaioshin was\ncurious about Jiren's' power and wanted to Maji Kayo to help reveal the same.\nEven Goku knew he was strong but didn't know he was that strong as he was\nsurprised with Jiren being able to push back SSJB+Kaioken * 20 and push back\nthe spirit bomb effortlessly. Even the gods and Angels obviously can guage a\nfighters strength when god ki is being utilised. We see this based on Whis's\nsuggestion that Goku and Vegeta would need to fight together to defeat Freiza\nand Vermouth suggesting that Jiren was a lot stronger than the SSJB\ntransformation.\n\n# Some Snaps of the events described earlier\n\n[![Krillin](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yowH4.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yowH4.jpg)\n\n[![Trunks](https://i.stack.imgur.com/QbiCL.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/QbiCL.jpg)\n\n[![Vermouth](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rPMxs.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rPMxs.jpg)\n\n**Pressure felt while facing off against SSJB:** I believe this can be\ncompared to a scenario where a fighter is in the gravity chamber but doesn't\nknow where he is. He feels this unmeasaurable force of power against him. On\nthe other hand, when energy can be sensed, you can compare it to the fighter\nsetting the level of gravity in the chamber and this would allow him to know\nhow strong exactly his opponent(Which here is the gravity) is, and use\nsufficient amount of energy necessary.\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-15T04:52:12.937", "id": "43788", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-16T00:08:33.393", "last_edit_date": "2017-12-16T00:08:33.393", "last_editor_user_id": "31104", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "43784", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nIn the initial stages of the manga, Yu-Gi-Oh was more or less supposed to be a\n**horror manga**. Although the end result was a manga about games, it was\nclear that some horror elements influenced certain aspects of the story. It\nwas later decided that \"battle\" be the primary theme. Since there were a lot\nof \"Fighting/Combat\" based manga, it was in a way difficult to come up with\nsomething original. Hence it was decided to create a fighting based manga\nwhere the main character does not hit anybody.\n\nHence, the early chapters of Yu-Gi-Oh feature a variety of different games;\nbut from **chapter 60 (volume 7) onwards** , the most common game that\nappeared as a plot device was the **Duel Monsters card game (formerly known as\nMagic & Wizards)** through the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City tournament\narcs; receiving elevated plot relevance in the latter arc.\n\nOther games still appear during the DDD and Memory World portions of the manga\nand gaming, in general, is often referred to; the modern card game being a\nrecent fad in Japan imported from the United States within the original story.\n\n[Reference](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_\\(anime\\))\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-16T11:53:18.777", "id": "43805", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-16T12:10:25.637", "last_edit_date": "2017-12-16T12:10:25.637", "last_editor_user_id": "31104", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "43804", "post_type": "answer", "score": 9 }, { "body": "\n\nIt started out as being a manga about a kid who became possessed by an ancient\nspirit residing in the Millennium Puzzle who fought evil games\n\nIt was originally a horror manga. In order to make the fights original, the\nauthor made the fights Shadow Games that reveal the dark nature of players.\n\nAs for why the story deviated from the original, that's what happens when an\nepisodic type changes to a continuous storyline type. Having a bunch of\nquality short stories will keep readers interested for a time, but what makes\nreaders really starve for your next chapter is a long story. Resolving a\nconflict doesn't make readers want to read more. Loose ends do.\n\nIn order to make a transition in this manner, you need to focus on a specific\naspect. The manga could have gone a number of ways. Role playing games, live\naction deathtraps, game-Batman, capsule monsters, chinese dragon cards. They\nsettled on the Duel Monsters because apparently the readers really liked the\ncard game. Duel Monsters was originally only supposed to appear twice: both of\nthem duels with Kaiba in the original series. But the author decided to go all\nin with Duelist Kingdom and the rest is history.\n\nSince the premise became based on a card game, having guns and panty shots in\na trading card game based anime would be a recipe for utter disaster since\nthey would clearly detract from the story.

You missed something out with regard to the beam struggle between Goku-Vegeta and Koichiarator. Goku and Vegeta didn't go all out and only bought Gohan some time to charge up his Kamehameha and strike. It was stated from the start that Gohan wanted Goku and Vegeta to **save their stamina** to square off against Universe 11.\n 3. With regard to Gohan's Kamehameha, Koichiarator **didn't actually fire a beam attack** against him. He is designed to resist strong attacks which is why he managed to survive so long.\n 4. Also, Paparoni used his special abilities to give Koichiarator an attack, speed and defense boost.

[ { "body": "\n\nIt certainly comes from the fans who have played the visual novel (VN) and set\nthe expectation too high for the anime adaptation.\n\nSome background, the original _Tsukihime_ VN was stated as an exceptionally\nbig hit for a _doujin_ game in Japan and drew big attention when an anime\nadaptation was decided. The VN itself also seemed to receive global\nrecognition. Note that it also consists of multiple endings and many\nbackstories and may take more than 30 hours (according to\n[VNDB](https://vndb.org/v7)) to finish all the routes.\n\nPutting aside opinions, the anime was broadcasted for 12 episodes based on a\ncertain character's route:\n\n> \"Arcueid's True End\"\n\nHowever, due to the limitation on episode counts and the staffs having\ntroubles in trying to incorporate _all_ elements from the original source,\nmany unimportant settings were left out. Some settings and characters'\npersonality were also changed partially. Moreover, some voice actors were not\nexperienced in anime voice acting, including Nabatame Hitomi (Arcueid's voice\nactor) making _Tsukihime_ as the debut in TV anime voice acting. Additionally,\nall of the voice actors were different compared to the _[Melty\nBlood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melty_Blood)_ which had been released\nbefore the anime.\n\nOn the other hand, the manga adaptation following the same anime's route was\nalso released at nearly the same time and _was serialized for 7 years_. While\nthe story development was interwoven with multiple routes, the manga also\nintegrated some references from _Tsukihime Tokuhon_ and _[Kagetsu\nTohya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagetsu_Tohya)_ without feeling out of\nplace and losing the original source's atmosphere. Even words of acclaims from\nthe original author were written on the\n[_obi_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obi_\\(publishing\\)).\n\nNow, back to the fans' opinions, there were many reasons why they didn't want\nto \"acknowledge the existence\" of this anime. To summarize it:\n\n> \\- Plot development: all over the place, slow pace, wrong focus,\n> under-/unexplained details, bizarre use of flashbacks \n> \\- Bad presentation: too many non-subtle dialogs instead of actions \n> \\- Characters: modified personality and roles \n> \\- Visual: too many close-up shots of faces/upper torsos, stiff/stilted/\n> motionless, unremarkable action scenes \n> \\- Audio: over-the-top sound effects, poor translation & dub\n\nand many concluded that it's okay as a standalone work but terrible as an\nadaptation.\n\nInterestingly, _Japanese fans also didn't want to acknowledge the anime's\nexistence_. Most of them assumed the anime as \"a dark history\" and \"there's no\nanime adaptation\". Since they had the same opinion as with the global\naudiences, it's probably safe to say that it has spread since the original TV\nbroadcast in 2003.\n\n* * *\n\nSources:\n\n * [Japanese Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%9C%9F%E6%9C%88%E8%AD%9A_%E6%9C%88%E5%A7%AB)\n * Reviews: [AniTAY](http://anitay.kinja.com/grexs-lunar-legend-tsukihime-review-1780509201), [MyAnimeList](https://myanimelist.net/anime/169/Shingetsutan_Tsukihime/reviews), [the escapist Forum](http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/326.142352.3191327), [FinalCrosMayCry's WordPress](https://finalcrosmaycry.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/tsukihime-anime-review-i-wish-it-didnt-exist-either/), [anime-planet](https://www.anime-planet.com/users/roriconfan/reviews/32293)\n * [Japanese Typemoon Wiki](https://typemoon.wiki.cre.jp/wiki/%E7%9C%9F%E6%9C%88%E8%AD%9A_%E6%9C%88%E5%A7%AB#.E8.A9.B1.E9.A1.8C.E3.81.BE.E3.81.A8.E3.82.81)\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-19T16:22:27.510", "id": "43845", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-19T16:27:45.163", "last_edit_date": "2017-12-19T16:27:45.163", "last_editor_user_id": "2516", "owner_user_id": "2516", "parent_id": "43842", "post_type": "answer", "score": 15 } ]

A\nreality marble, being somewhat literally the user's internal world (which is\nthen made manifest upon the world in some sense and extent), changes in\nresponse to changes to that internal world.

He was\nfrequently summoned as a pawn devoid of the ability to enact his own will to\nmop up the messes of humanity, and to kill and destroy as demanded. He had\nmade his pact with the world thinking he would _prevent_ suffering and tragedy\nand death, not simply be a murderous janitor that comes in after the fact. His\nreality marble effectively records these things and it results in twisting the\npersonality of the heroic spirit.\n\nSo in such a case, yes, a spirit can remember \"prior\" summons.

Nero's off-key singing in\nthe Type Moon Ace Fate/Extra short is a direct play off of this.\n\nThe [so-called](http://www.mahoroba.ne.jp/~gonbe007/hog/shouka/jingleb.html)\noriginal wording of the \"Jingle Bells\" lyrics go something like:\n\n> 走れそりよ 風のように 雪の中を 軽く早く (かるくはやく, karuku hayaku, more or less with gentle\n> swiftness)\n\nNo official explaination has been provided in canonical material, but a\ncertain FGO Summer racing even, Nero is [seen and\nheard](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XmQJN.jpg) singing a similar song, but with\nroses (bara/バラ/ばら) in place of certain words for no explained reason. \"Bara\"\nand the \"Pado\" in \"padoru/パドる\" use katakana, normally used for foreign (loan)\nwords, instead of hiragana, normally used for standard Japanese words.\n\nRose in Japanese is written as 薔薇 (ばら), which is notorious for how hard it is\nto remember, so it is typically spelled out using kana as バラ.\n\nA characteristic in Japanese that is not well understood or articulated is how\nthe Japanese use katakana and hiragana as a literary device. It's not easy to\narticulate the nuisance if something such as an foreign accent or emphasis on\ncertain words in Japanese writing as there are set pronunciations for each\ncharacter. The nuisance of using katakana for a name can express the\nforeignness of the name or boldness) harshness of it's pronunciation or tone,\nakin to using UPPERCASE vs. lowercase can put emphasis or create the nuisance\nof shouting in written dialog. The lack of kanji in written text can also\nconvert the simplicity of one's character or dialog. For an example, to convey\nthe nuance ifca child talking vs that of an adult, a child speaking might only\nuse hiragana, while a adult mixes hiragana and kanji when talking.\n\nA simple example can be seen in the Yotsuba: [![yotsuba and her\nfather](https://i.stack.imgur.com/E7wIi.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/E7wIi.jpg)\n\nThe use of different fonts also helps add emphasis to the nuance between how\nthey speak.\n\nWhile there are no lyrics for context in the Type Moon Ace short, the FGO\nSummer event provides some context that we can infer thru how it is written\nand the literary intend from whomever authored or oversaw the dialogue.\n\n[![bara\nbara](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XmQJN.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XmQJN.jpg)\n\nRoses and padding make very little sense in this context, especially is land\nracing.\n\nOnce interpretation can be that what is likely being conveyed is the whimsical\nand child-ish tone of Nero's bad singing and the fact that she doesn't\nremember or intentionally ignores the proper lyrics and (indirectly on the\naudience) asserts her Imperial Privilege to insert whatever she fancies into\nthe lyrics, and establishing them as the proper lyrics as no one bothers\ncorrecting her.\n\nIn essence \"padoru\" has no real meaning us is just a bit if a filler that the\noff-key Nero probably misheard and went along with.\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-12-27T03:21:17.667", "id": "56257", "last_activity_date": "2019-12-27T03:21:17.667", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "63", "parent_id": "43895", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 } ]

There have been many instances\nwhere a character ( **Didn't have enough energy to fight** ) or didn't have\nsufficient amount of energy to power up etc which is why they consume **Senzu\nbeans**. \n\nAndroids, on the other hand, have a special or unnatural energy source such\nthat their ki capacity is unlimited. Unlike the other species(All species\nshown on Dragon Ball as of now). Due to the same, androids also have\ndifficulty in sensing ki the way other species do and need special\nmodifications to help locate a particular fighter.\n\nThere is not definite available answer but this is what I believe. I think the\namount of ki associated with stamina and energy has nothing to do with one's\nstrength. In other words, when Goku uses his Super Saiyan transformations and\nalters his ki, I don't think he gains more life support or more stamina(as a\nmatter of fact, he loses more stamina), yet his ki is altered. The same\napplies with regard to the androids. The only difference is, the androids have\nan unlimited source of life-energy(Stamina associated ki). We know Android 17\nand even 18 obviously have gotten a lot stronger since the android saga. If\nthey had a fixed capacity of strength ki, they wouldn't have been able to get\nstronger. \nAlso, Koicherator, Aniraza, and the Androids shouldn't be confused with.\n\n* Koicherator is a robot. They are 100% mechanically designed. They can power up or gain energy only by physical manipulation i.e(By designing them that way or by using a special power-up like the one Dr.Paparoni used).\n* Aniraza is a fusion between Paproni and the Robot. It is not technically a modification like in case of the androids. I would compare it to the Potara fusion and fusion dance. We know Kefla's ki increased both strength wise and even stamina wise after the Potara fusion. Aniraza could be compared to that.\n* Finally, Android 17 is a cyborg. He was a human-modified with mechanical parts. He has a special modification in him which gives him unlimited stamina. Since he's part human, he does have an unnatural source of Ki and also has the ability to get stronger with training, unlike Koicherator and Aniraza. \n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-25T03:41:42.467", "id": "43933", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-25T03:41:42.467", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "43926", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nTwo reasons: Rarity and plot.\n\nExodia is supposedly the strongest monster and summoning him means you win. In\nnormal circumstances, summoning Exodia is very hard, and decks that can are\nhard to pull it off: You draw a starting hand of 5 cards out of a minimum deck\nof 40 cards. This means you need to draw 5 specific cards in the entire deck,\nwhich is roughly 0,00000152 or a 0,000152% chance to pull it off in the\nstarting hand.\n\nDecks that can achieve win safely by turn 1 need to resort in some sort of\ntutoring and drawing out those 5 pieces. Cards that used to help were Pot of\nGreed and Graceful Charity, the first drawing 2 cards (a 2:1 ratio) and the\nsecond drawing 3 but forcing you to discard 2 (1:1 ratio), yet they were both\nway too powerful and eventually got banned, forcing Exodia to be a random\nwinning condition for certain rare decks.\n\nAnd that's only if you actually OWN those 5 pieces. The Rare hunter owns\ncounterfeits, and the other owners of the cards opt for other ways to use\nthem, such as Exodia Necross.\n\nThe difficulty alone is why Yugi was most likely the first person in the\nfuture world known for summoning Exodia.\n\nThe other fact is that it is a plot point. Yugi needs to become notorious in\nthe card game community by being essentially a rising star that is strong\nenough of a challenge for many. This draws more people towards Yugi, like Seto\nKaiba (who was considered the strongest duelist), Pegasus and pretty much\neveryone else that challenges him in the series.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-28T09:09:08.827", "id": "43981", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-28T09:09:08.827", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "24189", "parent_id": "43966", "post_type": "answer", "score": 8 }, { "body": "\n\nThere are a few things to consider about the game in the _Yu-Gi-Oh!_ universe\nand why people couldn't play Exodia:\n\n 1. The game was still not that popular even in it's own universe when the show began. There where many people who didn't knew anything about the game and it was only successful because Industrial Illusions was sponsoring the tournaments and was creating the cards, while KaibaCorp provided dueling fields which would make the game more entertaining for the players and those who watched the tournaments on the TV. Ratings probably skyrocketed when people started to watch other people who summon monsters and battle with them. As time progresses, the game started to become more and more popular. Kaiba is the main reason the game became as popular as it did in the DM universe. Which is why when GX begins, there are schools that train people who want to become professional duelists. Kaiba was directly responsible for the creation of such schools, because he realized that many people didn't play their cards properly during tournaments. Which is why the PRO league was exclusive only for strong duelists and it served to further promote the game to the world and make it more popular. \n\n(Anyway I got a bit off-topic)\n\n 2. Game shops, like the one Solomon Muto had, where the only places where you can find and buy cards, and no one was selling cards online like we do now in the real world. So players in the anime only had 2 options: buy boosters to find strong cards, or trade with the people available around them.\n\n 3. If you have read carefully the stuff I wrote above, you should now have a better understanding as to why not many people had the pieces of Exodia. Especially the entire set. I figure that many people didn't want to trade or exchange the Exodia piece they had, because they themselves wanted to find and have all pieces and didn't wanna give away the pieces they already had. And those who where petty about it would not give someone their piece because they wouldn't wanna help someone gather the most powerful monster in the entire game.\n\n 4. Rare cards are rare for a reason in the show. They are hard to find and only have limited numbers of copies released. For example, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon only had 4 copies **in the entire world.** This tells you the possibilities of finding rare cards and building a strong deck. Rich people like Kaiba could use their connections and resources to track down the cards they needed. This is how Kaiba found the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons. And Leon von Schroeder wrote to Pegasus and requested an entire archetype of fairy tale monsters to be created for him. Pegasus liked the idea so he granted the request. But he probably didn't grant other requests, like releasing more copies of rare cards. Which is why in the _Yu-Gi-Oh!_ universe, there are not many people playing with the same decks like in the real world. The rare hunter called Seeker, who beat Joey with Exodia, used fake pieces of that monster since he probably couldn't find the real cards.\n\n 5. Even if someone did have Exodia in their deck, the probability of drawing all five pieces was very low. A player's entire deck must be build on cards that prevent your opponent from attacking you, and cards which allows you to draw and search the pieces. Seeker used three (fake) copies of Exodia to increase the chances of drawing a part, and he used cards that allow him to draw, to speed up that process.\n\nOther characters like Gozaburo Kaiba and Adrian Gecko used alternative\nstrategies with Exodia, because drawing the parts was not efficient and fast\nenough to win a duel. Gozaburo decided to dump the parts in the graveyard\ninstead of drawing them, in favor of playing Exodia Necros, which may not give\nyou an instant win, but the monster couldn't be destroyed and it became more\nand more powerful with each turn.\n\nAdrian, meanwhile, used Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord, and he could\neither defeat his opponents with attacks from Exodius who becomes stronger and\nstronger with each normal monster he sends to the graveyard when he attacks,\nor automatically win when he sent all 5 pieces of Exodia to the graveyard by\nthe effect of Exodius.\n\nSo this pretty much sums up why no one was able to summon Exodia until the\nfirst duel between Kaiba and Yugi. I hope that this was useful and fun to\nread.\n\n", "comment_count": 3, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-05-16T18:04:20.060", "id": "57579", "last_activity_date": "2020-05-18T18:51:31.200", "last_edit_date": "2020-05-18T18:51:31.200", "last_editor_user_id": "53369", "owner_user_id": "53369", "parent_id": "43966", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

That ...\ndidn't go well (for the hunters).\n\n> Kite and Pokkle were killed. Nen information was gathered from Pokkle's\n> brain, and Kite's reanimated body was used for training of the ants.\n\nAfter that, new hunters were kept away, and more experienced hunters were sent\nto gather information and make a plan. They seemed to have been led by Morel\nand his crew, Knov, Knuckle, and Shoot. Gon and Killua were not allowed to\nreenter until they could prove themselves to Knuckle and Shoot. I think they\nwere given a month. In the end, those four and Palm were allowed entry.\n\nA plan was accepted and modified by the Hunter Organization, and we saw what\npart the aforementioned folks did within the ant-claimed territory.

Some\nof these may be interesting reasons why the same is popularly used.\n\n * Toriyama wasn't sure as to what to name his Kame attack and it was his wife who came up with the same and it was named after the Hawaiian King.\n * Also, the same attack is very iconic and it was introduced even early in the Original Dragon Ball Series by Master Roshi which was immediately mastered by Goku in a few seconds. Unlike the other mentioned attacks.\n * Also, this attack has always been considered as a signature move of the main character Goku.\n * The _Dragon Ball Franchise_ is indeed very popular and even those who haven't watched the franchise have an idea as to who Goku is. Hence it makes a lot more sense for people to remember the signature move of the main character.\n * Another fun fact is that Akira Toriyama did a lot of different poses until he finally decided on something which he considered cool and I think the hand movement made while launching this attack is also very iconic and popular and emulated by a lot of Dragon Ball fans. Hence this attack is easy to identify by simply looking at the hand movement which is probably why it is used a lot.\n\nSource: [Dragonball Wikia -\nKamehameha](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Kamehameha)\n\n", "comment_count": 3, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-30T13:39:40.847", "id": "43997", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-31T03:58:10.357", "last_edit_date": "2017-12-31T03:58:10.357", "last_editor_user_id": "31104", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "43995", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nThe answer to the same would be both **_Saonel and Pirina_**.\n\nWe don't know for sure as to **which of the two is stronger** as they fought\nas a team more or less. However, I think it's fair to assume they are\n**equally strong as superior to Picollo in strength.** There might have been a\ncouple of instances or statements made in the episode where Picollo might have\nappeared to be stronger than the two, which mustn't be confused with.\n\nHere is a list of my supporting arguments: (Please Note: We don't see Saonel\nand Pirina fighting at full power in their first match against Picollo which\nis why I'm going to only make reference to the second episode they fought\n_(Episode 118)_.\n\n* Once Picollo fires **multiple Ki Blasts at Pirina** , he is complete unfazed by it and pushes back Picollo with ease. We see Picollo struggling to **push back Pirina's hand with both his hands, while Pirana doesn't even seem to be trying.**\n* Picollo is **terrified of their strength** as he senses a lot of absorbed namekians.\n* Gohan turns _Ultimate Gohan_ to save Picollo. Also note that despite Gohan training for a brief period, based on the recent episodes, I think it is safe to assume that **Ultimate Gohan is definitely significantly stronger than he was during the Buu arc. He's most definitely stronger than Super Saiyan God Goku and around the same level as Android 17 who is very powerful indeed.**\n* Gohan fights at full power and seems to be doing very well. However, what made **Pirina and Saonel a lot more powerful** was their **teamwork** and combinations.\n* Gohan also stated that since the two of them were very strong, they would be able to tank the **Special Beam Cannon** which is more of a killing move.\n* We see **Pirina tank the first attack** which shocked Picollo. An argument might be made that **Picollo didn't charge the attack enough**. However, he did have a decent amount of time to charge the attack.\n* Making a reference to an old nostalgic moment in the Dragon Ball Z, where Raditz fought Goku and Picollo, we see Raditz impressed by the attack the first time around when it shatters his armour and barely dodges it. The second time around it was strong enough to both kill him and Goku. I'm not stating that this attack is unblockable. Some of the high tier fighters like Goku, Vegeta and obviously the God tier characters like Jiren wouldn't have any trouble. We see Jiren even block Hit's killing shockwave which was strong enough to almost kill SSJB Goku in one shot.\n* In the end, it was obviously because of Picollo's attack which gave Universe 7 the win and one of the two Namekians after getting hit by the special beam cannon said **\"So that's the true power of a Universe 7 Namekian\"**. Many might assume this implied that Picollo was stronger. However, this was just a **remark made on the powerful attack** which Picollo had enough time to charge his attack without engaging in battle. This can be compared to Goku and Vegeta's beam struggle with Koichierator and Gohan's attack after. **Goku and Vegeta didn't give it their all and didn't charge up their attack enough** while Gohan charged his attack enough and his beam attack was stronger than the combined attack of Vegeta and Goku, which again doesn't imply Gohan being superior in strength to the two.\n \n\nHence if it wasn't for Gohan and Picollo had to face a Namekian by himself, I\nwould say Picollo wouldn't stand a chance.\n\n \n\n# Images supporting the arguments made.\n\n[![Picollo's ki blast\nattack](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LGcZU.jpg</li)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LGcZU.jpg</li)\n\n[![Blast\ndestruction](https://i.stack.imgur.com/eakaM.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/eakaM.jpg)\n\n[![No\ndamage](https://i.stack.imgur.com/kcfwN.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/kcfwN.jpg)\n[![Picollo pushed back with\nease](https://i.stack.imgur.com/y3Sey.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/y3Sey.jpg)\n[![Ultimate gohan fighting at full\npower](https://i.stack.imgur.com/uxp7H.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/uxp7H.jpg)\n[![Tanking the special beam\ncannon](https://i.stack.imgur.com/t5XRL.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/t5XRL.jpg)\n\n", "comment_count": 3, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "creation_date": "2017-12-31T02:30:42.673", "id": "44012", "last_activity_date": "2017-12-31T02:30:42.673", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "44000", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]
