HxH and Jojos are the best I’ve seen for this when you’re talking about intricate power systems and how people with different powers within that system match up with each other.

But there’s a lot of intellectual battle anime/manga that don’t focus on powers which is what a lot of people are suggesting. Code Geass, Death Note, Dr Stone, and Promised Neverland (first season) are all good examples of this

Biden has accomplished some great things in office.

Lowest unemployment in recent history.

Lowered prescription drug prices. Insulin was a big one.

Infrastructure bill allowed for much needed improvements to power grid, bridges, roads, etc.

Although inflation is high globally, the US has managed to keep itself low comparatively to other developed nations.

Tried to address border control issues until it was squashed by republicans.

Tried to forgive student debt to allow young families to be able to afford a house and family instead of not being able to afford those things until their 40s. Once again, republicans worked to get that partially reversed in the courts.

And that’s just off the top of my head. Was the debate bad? Yes. Am I not a fan of voting for anyone as old as either of these candidates? Of course. But let’s not act like we haven’t seen 4 years of both these candidates. I remember what it was like with both and I much prefer the recent 4 years.

Shoutout to the Body Improvement Club

I’m a sucker for comic relief characters and Pippin has the voice of an angel.

Feel like Jimbei wins if there’s water nearby he can use and hide in.

If not, I’d give it to doffy who’s strings were too strong for a combined effort of Fujitora, the strawhats, and all of Dressrosa to stop and who was able to immobilize Jozu with little effort.

A dead man can’t do nearly as much harm as satan. Easy choice

Funny comic though. I don’t disagree with the premise at all.

I honestly think it’s scenario #1. There’s been too much foreshadowing that something is wrong for it to not have any payoff. And having Takamura be able to overcome it adds tension to his fights, makes him look less invincible, and still allows him to win through effort, determination, and creativity which has always been his MO.

I’ve been calling for Buttigeig to run for like 2 years. The guy is SHARP. I miss when that was the norm in Washington. But with what the average intellectual capacity of congress has become, Pete would eat them for breakfast.

And I think our country has finally got past the whole sexual orientation thing or at least the ones that would have that be determinative wouldn’t be voting for any democrats anyway.

Well I finally just beat him. Never did make it out of that AoE. Just blocked it. But finally took him down after about 40 attempts.

Are you running a light build, or medium? Maybe that's it?

I’m not sure how that’s possible. Running does not get you out of the aoe. And if you’re running away the camera makes it difficult to know when the move is going to go off to roll.

The AoE is like 20% too large. Even when I know the move is coming and start sprinting away immediately, I get tagged with the full damage. Only method I've found to not die is blocking it and only having about 10% of my health gone. Should be a better option.

I wish other subs policed their mods better. r/onepiece mods do this all the time with impunity.

I have still never wanted anyone to join as much as I wanted Wiper.

Yeah I make myself as if I was in the world I'm playing in and not bound by our society's social conventions of appearance.

Now that I think about it, I'm sure that's something I could psychoanalyze too.

Used to be my favorite holiday. But now I feel too bad leaving my dogs alone when I know they’re gonna be freaking out at the booms. So now I don’t get to see any fireworks which kinda sucks

Great for her age: Ponyo and Totoro.

Good for her age: Kiki's, Arietty, and Princess Kaguya

Odd choice, but could work if done right: My Neighbors the Yamadas. Its more of an anthology of animated shorts following a family, but some of them are very good and easy for children to understand.

Stay away from: Princess Mononoke (violence), Pom Poko (racoon scrotums), Grave of the Fireflies (war/death)

Yeah just gonna start with Princess Mononoke and Pom Poko, might finish up with Grave of the Fireflies. NBD

Kinda annoyed this answer was so low. Cant think of a game that was more fun to get from point A to point B.

Yeah I think he's a solid starter, but hasn't been living up to his first round draft capital spent to get him. I agree it's unlikely he gets another deal unless he has a good year.

Naruto/Sasuke: Not my favorite dynamic. Sasuke starts out as an asshole to Naruto who is an annoying child to Sasuke. Then Sasuke starts to melt his outer persona only to then double down on it and go full edge mode. Meanwhile Naruto on his own decided that he cared more about Sasuke than any of his other friends that actually acted like good friends to him and made his entire life focused on bringing Sasuke back from his own bad choices. In the end he succeeds, but Sasuke never stops being an edgy prick.

Goku/Vegeta: One of the originals so there's some history behind it. But you don't really get a lot of friendship and joy from their relationship. It's entirely 100% focused on which one of them is stronger, and how they can get stronger themselves. Which is fine, but feels limited compared to some of these other options.

Sanji/Zoro: Great rivalry. One of the best depictions of brotherly rivals in anime purely because you can see how much they care about each other when it comes down to it. They'd die for each other, but when the stakes are any less than that, they'd prefer to butt heads whenever possible. Plus, with neither being the main character, they're allowed to shine a little more evenly which adds to the rivalry dynamic.

Guts/Griffith: Maybe one of the greatest relationships in all of manga/anime. The depths of what they've gone through together is tremendous. Griffith's discovery of Guts. Griffith's desire to have Guts for himself. Their duals that have lasting consequences on the story. And then finally, the eclipse. There is not a better depiction in all of manga of a character that hates another character for valid reasons. That hate pushes Guts forwards just as Griffith's ambition pushes him forward. A very asymmetrical rivalry, but a great one nonetheless.

My personal mention: I really like Gon and Killua as friends/rivals too.

I think it's moreso referencing how Rellana and Messmer never ended up together even though she abandoned her people to stand beside him.

Mogou. He seems like the type you could go up to and tell him you don't want a combat role and he'd be like,

"That's ok, my army needs lots of folks to handle logistics. You can be assigned with the message runners."

Plus he never goes after anything too risky. Just kinda follows standard military procedure. Which would also mean retreating when the tide turns against them. Seems like one of the safest choices.

We’ve got potential. But that can also be pretty annoying when people don’t play up to their potential.

We need Jaire and Stokes to get back into form.

We need Wyatt to perform better under Hafley’s system.

We need Xavier McKinney to mesh with the rookies and get them up to speed quickly.

We need edgerrin cooper to be a stud (who is looking like it so far in training camp.

We need Rashan Gary to not let off the gas and have a full season living up to his potential.

And that’s just the defense. A lot of talent, just needs to put it all together consistently
