Part of Flame's challenge to make a thread about boxing anime/manga in general. - Actual stakes. If there's no stakes in the series, there's little reason to care whether the characters win or lose, a problem in most sports series. Combative sports, on the other hand, provide a good enough deal...

Yugi turning Kaiba's Blue Eyes against him because "Heart of the Cards" in the manga. Yugi's friends saving him against Pegasus because "Heart of the Cards". Kaiba screwing the rules against Ishizu. Atem being able to utilise a "Beyond Infinite" ATK point move against Dartz. The time travel...

The versions of the Champions from the main anime timeline compete in an Alola Battle Royale: Lance's Dragonite VS Steven's Metagross VS Cynthia's Garchomp VS Alder's Bouffalant VS Diantha's Gardevoir. All have their most recent moveset from the anime. Scenario 1 - No Mega Evolutions. Scenario...

Expecting only Gog to reply to this, but here's an Ashita no Joe matchup. Rikiishi has both his peak strength and stamina after going back to lightweight (or maybe even junior middleweight) and has the improved technique of his training with his uppercuts. Regardless of the WBC rules...

I, for one, am someone that believed filler tended to improve the anime up until the end of the Saiyan Arc due to adding more emphasis on characters' growth in power through training segments between timeskips and character interactions, the 22nd TB and Saiyan Arcs being good examples. Despite...

Which of these two egregious retcons would you say was more damaging overall? In my opinion, the #19/20 retcon was a lot worse than Shin and Kibito simply forgetting how strong the Saiyans were, since the latter at least doesn't affect the plot in any major way for the sake of contrived continuity.

:donovan winds up in the JoJo universe and confronts the childhood version of Jotaro seen in the Alessi events. The fight takes place in the house Jotaro and Polnareff fought Alessi, with Donovan armed with his axe and Jotaro weaponless, though he can pick up anything worthwhile within the...

A common complaint people have about the series is the art style. Would you say there's any truth to this? Personally, I find the majority of complaints about the art style to be pretty unwarranted. Many people complain about it being "too cartoony", which is pretty rich in a medium where the...

Challenged by Mystic Omega to make this. With the anticipation many have of Gen IV remakes ever since ORAS was announced, it's worth discussing the pros that allowed this Gen to stand out. * Physical/Special split - The Physical/Special split of the previous Generation was very flawed in only...

Which character(s) did you play as the most in each game you played? My list: Final Bout - SSJ Kid Goku Budokai - Either Goku due to story mode or Vegeta. Budokai 2 - Goku or Goten Budokai 3 - Goku due to story mode, otherwise Pure Boo. Tenkaichi - True form Freeza Tenkaichi 2 - Super Vegetto...

Six Trails Gaslighted me into doing this. :autism Ultimate Dragon Balls Arc Son Goku ~ Base - 320,000,000,000 ~ Super Saiyan - 800,000,000,000 Oob - 320,000,000,000 Pan ~ Full Power - 210,000,000,000 ~ Dehydrated - 210 Trunks ~ Base - 235,200,000,000 ~ Super Saiyan - 588,000,000,000 ~ Base...

The man who equalled Roger fights against the 3 pre-timeskip Admirals. Can he take them? Scenario 1: Battle is a gauntlet style duel in which Whitebeard receives no healing or rest. The order he faces them is Aokiji, Kizaru then Akainu. Scenario 2: He fights them 3 on 1 with no intel for either...

Let's say that Goku's feat of travelling to the moon on the Nyoibo, Saiyans surviving in space and needing to climb the pole to cover such distance when facing Toninjinka had all been kept consistent throughout the series rather than existing in the vacuum of this initial arc for the most part...

Ommm4gvD68w So, it was announced at Tokyo's Italian Culture expo earlier this month that Part 5 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is getting an anime adaption. From the look of the promo, it seems the art style will be faithful to the manga's mid/later events, with the additional benefit of having...

According to Dave Filoni, the Grand Inquisitor is only slightly weaker than Ventress. Considering Ahsoka's performance against Ventress and Bariss in Season 5, can she take on this former Jedi Temple guard? - Both characters have their standard weapons and are in character. - Fight takes place...

When Mutaito attempts the Mafuba, it fails causing his death. Daimao then kills Roshi and Tsuru Sennin and remains unopposed for centuries. How do you think things would go from there? Do you believe he'd continue to train to make his power even more absolute? How do you imagine Kakarotto's...

Self-explanatory. Either make your clear pick or a list and provide explanations. #1 - Alchemy (Fullmetal Alchemist) - Equivalent exchange means no usage of it is too broken other than maybe Flame Alchemy and even then, such abilities require some major specifics to be used properly or some...

Remember that there was a thread like this for reading manga, though not one for watching anime. You know what to do from the title. Turn A Gundam - Up to episode 10. It's somewhat steampunk setting and further balance between the justifications of both sides than other Gundam series makes it...

The Super version of the Gohan VS Dabura debate. :troll So, most people tend to agree that Goku was used Perfected Super Saiyan Blue against Toppo, but is that really the case? Looking at the art, it doesn't seem to be so to me, given how his aura was still leaking when throwing his punches...

What do you find are some of the advantages you find in anime/manga compared to other forms of storytelling? One thing that I'd say is an advantage is the general creativity and scale in aesthetics that can be present in the medium compared to in other methods of visual media in which budget...
