O

MY

MY

Love this anime, but the ending is super dumb.

GOD

How?

because after ep 36 everything after is anime orginal, animeonlyfag

RUBBER

ASS

STICKY

to be honest the manga isn't much better at the end.

I prefer it to how the manga ended

It was foreshadowed way back when Netero said that he'd sacrifice someone.

Wrong

This. I remember he said he would have to sacrifice someone by planting a fucking nuke in his heart.

...

Isn't this just Fairy Tail the thread

Are you mentally retarded? Do you need your hand held?

>the most powerful being on the known world was killed by a nuke
TOGASHI = GOD

No thank you, you're going to need both next time you write another one of your bumass retorts.

>please tell me instead of showing me and letting me come to the conclusion

This is why the elites didn't want the pleb masses to read.

More importantly, the Poor Man's Rose is thematically fitting and that's really all it needs to be.

- Kaguya in Naruto
- The second Friend in 20th Century Boys
- L is a part of a detective boy band in Death Note
- The whole plot of Bleach

Oh, and that shit in HxH where Kuropika doesn't have to follow his own rules

Hunter x Hunter is an asspull as a whole. One giant asspull.

Indeed

NEN

Sasuke surviving his fight against Deidara. Strong contender for one of the dumbest moments in Naruto.

Chrollo's Sun and Moon still being usable even though its original creator died and probably didn't have strong emotions or resolve at the time.

>probably didn't
Wouldn't the natural assumption be that he did?

>I sacrifice part of my own potential so i can obtain this OP skill that can only be used againts these specific group of people
>Oh that's neat
>LOL EMPEROR TIME I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT FUCK IT
I love HxH but that rubbed me in the wrong way

And for all we know he could of been living a normal life without his nen anymore and ended up dying of a heart attack.

>didn't have strong emotions or resolve at the time.
He literally had a strong hatred for the world.

He still can't use the chain jail on anyone but spiders

>the author didn't tell us what happened
>if X happened, it would be inconsistent
>I guess X probably happened
Are you feeling okay?

sure, it's funny how HxHtards defend every asspull

FINGERS

>Not liking asspulls
That's literally the only reason why manga/anime is good.

CRIMSON

...

...

Not really, there's just really stupid people out there. I won't hold it against you, though.

Way better than if netero won that fight with super ultra hand shonen power.
the rose was a very good idea

literally what

This is not even an asspull, I'm pretty sure they just sat down and debated how to make it the most retardedly stupid ending possible that still fits in some shounen genre trope. And it "works", I don't even remember how the manga ended, I know some shit was going down on the moon but thats about it. I will always remember the fist of courage or love or w/e she hit him with, cause its forever etched into my nerves as the worst possible way to end a series.

He should of at least been able to injure the king, I thought it was bullshit that Netero couldn't land a single hit that actually did any damage when he's supposed to be the strongest human. I get that Meruem is the supposed to be an apex that's on the of the food chain but its still stupid that he didn't get a single scratch until he got nuked.

Also he is nothing but a Chinese Bootleg rip off of Cell.

...

Yeah for me too Netero should have deal him some damages.
But I think the author was making many points there and powerlevel wasn't amongst them.
You know, something like "even if humanity is weaker, it will find a way to win and survive"

>Netero literally says someone needs to be sacrificed in order to kill the King
>makes a point about bringing him to the "designated location"
>Morel says once they arrive there it's going to be too late for the Royal Guards to do anything
>The designated location is literally a military heavy weapons testing site
>in fictional North Korea
>if a bomb goes off there the world will literally brush it off as another simply another test by fictional North Korea
You can't possibly foreshadow the bomb anymore because that would be outright stating Netero would use one.

>I don't even remember how the manga ended
boobs

None of your criticisms mean anything. And Netero did land a scratch. Several scratches

False, Netero WAS inflicting damage to Meruem, but due to his very hard skin it was a very small amount, in fact, just before Netero lost his arm and leg the narrator said Meruem was starting to feel a bit of pain from all the hits he was receiving. If Meruem hadn't spend a bunch of his time playing Gungi with Komugi, he wouldn't have developed his intellect as he did and he would have never been able to break through Netero's defenses. In that case it would have been a situation of which could last more, Meruem's skin or Netero's stamina.

>You can't possibly foreshadow the bomb anymore because that would be outright stating Netero would use one.
That's probably what they wanted. Everything that isn't clearly stated beforehand is an asspull nowadays.

Emperor time is actually pretty shit as far as specializations go. All it lets him do is each his full potential as a conjurer in every category. So 100% Conjuration, 80% Transmutation, 60% Enhancement, 40% Emission and 60% Manipulation. Its not like he bypasses the rules of Nen, he is just able unlock his full potential.

Some people need to have thier hands held through everything like a bunch of midschoolers. What a shame

>he is just able unlock his full potential
Which is bullshit, because the point of chain jail is the he gimps himself so he can go toe to toe againts the spiders

Bleach was the king of asspulls, but I think the one that bugged me most was Yamamoto's last fight.

Not what HE did, his stuff was neat. No what bugged me was how he kicks Ywach's ass. But surprise, it was secretly the previously unmentioned twin of another barely important character who had never shown up before. Then the REAL Ywach shows up and just crushes Yamamoto and he dies a bitch death having achieved nothing.

I mean sure we knew he couldn't actually win that battle, but it was still ultra bullshit.

Also bullshit was Ywach's fight against the paint guy. The paint guy had him dead to rights, but suddenly he does...something, I'm not even sure what he did, and suddenly the paint guy is dead.

Man, the last arc was extremely full of asspulls in a series that was already pretty asspully

Its a technique that was supposed to be for spiders only, a rule that he made that if he used on anyone that isn't a spider that he would DIE.

Hes still gimped. He still can't use the jail chain, his only really OP skill, on anyone besides spiders. He can just do other things at his max potential.

And max potential doesn't mean hes better than everybody at everything, just that he is at his personal possible best whenever its up.

He still can't use chain jail against anyone but the spiders, even with emperor time, you should check again how oaths and conditions work for hatsu.

Togashi already explained in detail how emperor time works, and how when Kurapika, a conjurer would use a emission type hatsu at level 10 because of his increased proficiency due to emperor time, it would be equivalent to an emitter using a level 4 emission type hatsu.

It has nothing to do with chain jail whatsoever, he made an oath that he can only use chain jail against the spiders, and the condition is that he dies if he uses it on someone else, that's how chain jail works and it is not effected by emperor time whatsoever in that aspect.

I really dislike it when I see how many people simply do not know how nen works and yet call themselves "HxH fans". Only for stuff like nen that becomes stronger after death, nen categories, and nen oaths and conditions are almost always misunderstood.

...

Yes that page, thanks.

Agreed

HxH is still trash though

nimura from tokyo ghoul

like why was he even introduced

it was so dumb

>hurr durr we need a new baddie since audience is getting bored of our old ones
>oh i know lets just introduce another bad guy half ghoul who also has rizes kagune (because we've completely given up on having unique characters that actually had to work for their power lmao fuck you saka)

I thought it was fitting, a product of nature that gained some humanity was killed by the mosat devastating weapon in humanity, a nuke

Yeah, it completely made Deidara's trump card pointless. He should have atleast lost some limps or something.

>wow, mega huge explosion that can be seen from space
>awesome last words "ART..IS A BANG!!"
>did absolutely nothing

No wait it did kill that snake summon, but nobody gave a fuck about that

Sure thing

>samefagging
>mislinking both times
Embarrassing.

>Hes still gimped. He still can't use the jail chain
That's not the point. Hisoka states it pretty clearly during the Castro fight. Creating an ability, the ''potential'' invested in that ability never comes back, you need to think and invest your aura wisely. Kurapika nen oath makes perfect sense: He gives a chunk of his ''potential'' for a tool that is able to deal with the people he wants revenge. But the thing is let's put it like this. Kurapika gives 50 points in exchange for the chain jail which is a big deal, but suddenly Emperor Time appears and gives Kurapika another 50 points metaphorically speaking leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Yes he CAN'T use the jail chain in normal people but Emperor time totally covers that weakness so in the end his blood oath ends not being that big of a deal

>crying samefag an hour later
Embarrassing.

>suddenly the paint guy is dead

Dont forget

>and suddenly the paint guy is alive again

Thing is as soon as he finishes his quest for revenge, he might as well not have any nen

>Sup Forums is just like this chat thing I used once
OK grandpa

What's even worse is that somehow within the span of a few seconds, Sasuke, who by that point in the fight was completely exhausted and could barely stand OR use his Sharingan, still manages to summon one of the fucking Sannin beasts, hypnotize it, jump into its fucking mouth and then undo the summon in order to transport to the SNEK dimension. Not even forgetting about the fact that Sasuke was somehow smart enough to see this as an actual fucking possibility despite how fucking absurd it sounds on paper, and just so happened to have given Suigetsu a summoning scroll to summon him from said SNEK dimension.

The Sasuke dick sucking sections were honest to God the outright worst parts of Naruto bar none. Even including the asspull revival at the end of Naruto vs. Pain, there was at least actual tension during the fight, and what it symbolized was pretty good.

...

>SAME STAND
>Rain sounds like screaming

God fucking DAMN I hate ningen

All ghouls need to be exterminated

The way I saw it was he empowered the single ability by restricting how it could be used. It wasn't like he gave up all his power.
He just made a super specific power with his nen and since it can only be used for that very specific use, its more powerful in exchange.

It wasn't like he sacrificed ALL of his nen potential for that move, he still has 4 other chains he can use on anything

But he's the "Lel so random meme king. PARTY HARD"

he's the best

This is nothing when you consider that Kurapika is an specialist, specialization nen is easily the most overpowered category due to the range of powers they can develop, and yet all Kurapika gets is the possibility of using more abilities of other categories,I don't think that Kurapika is overpowered at all when compared to what we usually see. At most its just as you said, it makes up for the chain jail which is a very limited ability in usage.

ITS JUST A PIECE OF ROCK

LET ME PUSH IT BACK WITH NU GUNDAM

>SAME STAND
Has Araki EVER been forced to answer for this at all?

That and Rage were pretty bad. SSB KK is dumb too.

It made sense for SDC, even if he did rework the worlds power half way through, but not for Eyes of Heaven. That is fucking beyond bullshit.

Thanks DEEN.

The entire Yu Yu Hakusho series.
Literally every fight was won with an asspull.

Not sure if this is an asspull, but Tobias.

GOD DAMN YOU TOBIAS!!!

>I've plowed through this tournament with a legendary Pokemon, Darkrai
>You Ash; who has gotten all 8 badges, helped take down an evil organization, and has just beaten his toughest rival to date; have just taken out my Darkrai something no one else has manage to do.
>Victory is surely yours Ash
>Nope kidding. Now face my Latios.
I go one to win the tournament without revealing any of my other Pokemon.

Fucking saved.

If nen sticks around if the user has strong emotions or resolve, and Chrollo is using the nen of a dead man, why are you assuming the dead man didn't have strong emotion or resolve when he died?
You're making a leap in assumptions just to contrive the manga to be inconsistent in your mind.

The manga ending isn't an asspull but Crona doesn't get to be happy so it can fuck off

Ohkubo also massively messed up his final chapter by going for cheap jokes in stead of actually satisfyingly concluding the last few character arcs

chain jail is the only chain locked to the spiders
emperor time doesn't change that, just maxes out his base potential for each nen category / removes the disadvantages he has in non-conjuration

He was foreshadowed as a clown and ghoul, though, people literally figured out he was Souta long before his reveal.
You can dislike him as a character and antagonist, but he's not an asspull.

They take out Asura in the manga by three-way beating the shit out of him (you know, reinforcing the teamwork shit) and then Maka cutting him open with Kishin Hunter (you know, the hyped up attack that did nothing in the anime for no good reason).
Maka and Soul go inside this huge void within Asura where Crona is (Crona previously merged with him but was then consumed), attempt to save Crona, Crona instead decides to save the world for Maka's sake and uses the BREW (which Asura ate earlier) to create a black blood seal around the moon. Asura is trapped and so is Crona, but everyone else is OK, and Maka believes she'll be able to rescue Crona eventually.

Then tits or something.

Well its pretty bullshit that
A:he has TWO legendary supposedly one of a kind pokemon
and
B:that hes using them to win competitions.

Yeah, Vegeta blowing himself up and it not really doing damage to Buu was kind of silly.
The Raikage losing an arm to Sasuke was another infuriating one. Stupid plot-armored brat.

...

And then he decided that his next series was gonna be entirely this. Goddamnit Mashima.

Eyes of Heaven was awful because it was completely unapologetically unoriginal and masturbated Jotaro way too hard.
Plus, Araki asspulls only work because they're amazingly entertaining and interesting. Repeating the same asspull a second time removes the only good features of it, making it purely bad writing. Fuck the EoH writers.
