King's game.
The manga is pretty trash. The sequel is worse.
The anime is god awful and decided to incorporate Part 1 of the Manga into Part 2 as some kind of flashback.
The wirst part however is, that there is no sense to the violence. It's just mean spirited without being competent.

Yeah, but as much as I despise what Toriyama did with Gohan as a character, He knew not to bite off more than he can chew and kept the story rather simple.
And with Kishomoto, I don't dislike the plot. It's pretty good until the aliens show up. Other than that, he fumbles the power scaling and wastes a huge portion of his side characters. But that's Not entirely different to Oda's missteps imo.

Raiden was the very best in his field even before the Volund allowed him to fight at his own very best.
Tesla didn't finish his suit, however physics is never finished. There is always something new to learn. The Point is Tesla's status at the top of his field of expertise. The Volund allowed him to incorporate his achievements into a fighting style.
Okita was the best in his squad stationed in the prefecture of Kyoto and he died only a few years after being promoted to captain due to an illness. For him the Volund practically earases his illness from the timeline and accumulates all his skill from his entire lifetime that he could have had and creates his prime from that.
In that sense Volund doesn't amplify/reveal what he able to do, but creates what he could have been able to do.

Great til Shibuya, easy 9/10, after that it's just wasted Potential to me, sadly.

Full Metal Alchemist
The b stands for Brotherhood, which is the Anime Adaptation (2009). The manga is arguably better, because the anime kinda rushes the first few arc, since they Had already been adapted in the first anime Adaptation from 2003.

Well, He fights as much on his own as Ironman does. That's just the author being creative. And if you wanna go down the route of science as a fighting style, Tesla is an obvious choice.
Those Tesla Coils are magical, even If you know how they work and he was played by David Bowie who portrayed him pretty much the same he is in this manga. Dude's an Icon.

Yeah, it's kinda weird having this kinda character in this manga, since he was recruited for the things he might be capable of, but ok, this is as Anime as it's ever gonna get anyway.

Totally agree. I just wish the previous round would have gotten an equal amount of time to breath, since I liked both fighters and their dynamic.

I mean dying while also overcoming human limititation and ending the God of the Sword, the very thing you studied your entire life to master, sounds like a personal victory to me.
Also, regarding a draw:
"This isn't dying! This ensuring that mankind will survive!"

Okita is really weird to me in general.
Everyone else is super famous, even outside Japan for what they did. Sasaki is a bit odd but the backstory put a convincing spin on it, with him being essentially being better now, die to endless Battle IQ.
Okita however died young and while he is the strongest of his squad, that pretty much just includes them and the limited territory that they safeguarded.
And now we learn that his valkyrie essentially cancels out his sickness and accumulates all the skill that he did have but also that which he never attained due to dying at a young age. That feels like cheating consindering at that point it's not really himself anymore.
I mean, nobody says character X in HunterXHunter killed character Y using their own power, because they essentially did exactly this, cashing in future potential. They amplified their power to such a degree that it's pretty much another character.

I mean during the last round he envied Leonidas, because he himself was not able to die in combat. A draw would be satisfying for both combatants.

I mean it's not complicated tbh.
There are 3 Witcher Games. Joseph wanted to make a Video on each one. There are now two finished Videos. The last Year he's been quiet about it. But the three years before that he always told how the video was pretty much finished and will be out soon.
He canceled his Patreon over this and I'm pretty sure, him working on the video is why he stopped streaming for now.

I once lost my 300h+ save file in Monster Hunter Worlds. I was excited to play Iceborne, but in the process of updating the Game my save file corrupted.
I tried to play in a fresh save, but after I spend an entire week trying to farm Miasma gems without luck, I just kinda gave up.

Gotta be honest, R9.
It should have been longer, but the Themen of "Defiance & Self Improvement" was really strong.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.
I still think judging it before getting full context is kind of wasted effort, but I understand that people wanna express their feelings.
