Most of that isn't particularly improbable for someone growing up around poverty and drugs, unfortunately. That kind of childhood isn't uncommon. Anyhow, I don't disbelieve your original claims. However, if someone else in the thread fought someone like who you describe then you should probably...

Given that that 6'7" would put a person into the 99.99th height percentile, I think it's safe to say most of us have not fought a near 7 foot tall obese Scottish boxing-judo master. Not saying this didn't happen, but you have to admit that's an extremely specific experience.

I always enjoy the discussions here, with different people noticing different aspects than me. Anything to the guy's eyes like a knife would make things easier. If Yajin wins the fight on his own, I'm expecting something like that. Otherwise I expect he gets captured for questioning or else one...

Since he grabbed Yajin at the moment of contact, I don't think that was possible. I know there is weird time dilation in manga panels, but it's not like Yajin was suspended in mid air and had time to jump a second time. To get out of that situation, he needed to dodge the attack somehow, but...

You just need to give them the ability to heal by burning a percentage of their body fat and the build will be complete.

I wanted to share my contributions from dynasty scans to the field of monster entomology. ponytail.girl: Eukene: I didn't investigate the other abilities, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was an insect that could change color and similar... Okay there is and it's a beetle (Wikipedia...

The interesting part is that Mona is open about all of this, for the most part. Flowsthead's definition of manipulation, "trying to get something out of someone without revealing the reasons," doesn't really apply there. What she's not open about is the baby/pregnancy, her parents fighting a...

The manipulation isn't so much in Mona seeking out support but the way she does it, eg, asking Kurumi to stay present in the conversation with Naoi and then using Kurumi to verbally pressure Naoi, or wanting to be close friends with Kurumi while hiding it from Naoi. If Mona just wanted to hang...

He's been living in the wilderness fighting monsters of various heights. His entire thought process was likely "Enemy at ___ coordinates, throwing knife", even though a very short humanoid generally has a specific, different meaning in cities. He was going off his aura senses or whatever we...

Good catch. It's obviously the baron she's right behind. That is a detail I missed since I was focused on the dead child with a dagger in their head. He really couldn't have waited any longer. One of the great things about this series is the attention to detail in terms of perspective and...

I think they would like her stopped nonlethally and then saved from whomever put her up to it, though even attempting to take out a noble could be punishable by death. Regardless, humans feel it's different when you are the one throwing the knife. That's why the trolly problem is controversial.

Not always. Child soldiers do kill people, especially if they have lethal weapons (guns, bombs, etc or a poisoned dagger would count). It's not always possible to prevent this even with lethal force. In this case yes, I think he could have stopped her non-lethally. Disarming a probable weak...

Well, someone could simply have forced a child into acting as an assassin. That's happened plenty in our world, unfortunately, though it would be a bomb and not a knife or poison. If you look at the kid's expression, it's very serious but not panicked. They're also looking away from the baron...

Hey now, this isn't that kind of manga. /s They haven't even been toxic in a while. They just listen to each other and handle their problems in a mature way, or at least more mature than many real world adults. "Adult" in this manga is basically shorthand for "someone who no longer has the...

Naoi's BS senses are tingling... Okay, or that. Even if asking Kurumi to stay wasn't manipulative- wanting the supportive person with her is understandable- using Kurumi to outnumber and verbally pressure Naoi definitely is. That combined with the mom's terribad judgement makes avoiding the...
