    Sensou Kyoushitsu - Vol. 12 Ch. 36 - The Longest Day

    She's always been an undercover operative for another faction. The most likely explanation is that if she has a family, it's on that side (makine the pope and Lucas its biggest threats). If her family were loyal to the pope but threatened by another faction, she probably could have gotten them...

    Sensou Kyoushitsu - Vol. 12 Ch. 36 - The Longest Day

    "The people I take orders from are the Futurists, and I do so for personal reasons. All the other Rami were ignorant of their status as pawns in a proxy war, so I couldn't relate to and looked down on them. I am ugly, lazy, unfriendly, imoulsive, inarticulate, unpopular and easily pushed...

    Sensou Kyoushitsu - Vol. 12 Ch. 36 - The Longest Day

    So far flowering has taken place when a Ramus has had a psychologically transformational experience. Mirror experiencing strong emotions for perhaps the first time and misunderstanding the nature of love. Heavenfall seeing that his wife had been playing the part of his daughter for years, and...

    Sensou Kyoushitsu - Vol. 12 Ch. 36 - The Longest Day

    Not JUST the power. The fact that it's wielded by someone who does not care about strangers and is regularly in a position to use it on large groups. The Starstrike unit may be the Pope's way of limiting the number of victims.

    Bouryoku Banzai - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - Setsuna

    I have. Big difference between questioning reality and abandoning safety for truth and what Setsuna is doing - exploiting the protection offered by societal norms and human decency to have a good time.

    Bouryoku Banzai - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - Setsuna

    To be fair, the fight seemed over when she was knocked unconscious and the ring men whose job it is to know the exact point at which giving up is necessary panicked in a way that could lead him to believe she had died or was crippled for life. IRL if a blackout from concussion lasts more than a...

    Yuji never is the MC. If there is one, it's Sukuna.

    Bouryoku Banzai - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - Setsuna

    She's 100% taking the rule of law for granted. No laws, no reliable food short term for people who can't join a bandit gang (which means rules), long term for anyone who can't grow it. She's tough one on one, but so what? Miyamoto Musashi himself said it's impossible to become unbeatable, cuz...

    Bouryoku Banzai - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Reason

    If you're including smarts as a way to prove who is strongest, politicians of various sorts and rich dudes with armed guards are OP.

    Bouryoku Banzai - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Reason

    It's translated as 'martial arts' several times in chapter 9. Even when FemMC is quoting him to criticize the statement.

    Bouryoku Banzai - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Reason

    That's what he's making. The question is whether he thinks there's more to it, whether there is internal consistency to the world he's depicting, and whether FemMC is a character or just a plot contrivance. It's also entirely possible for the author to be flat delusional; in Eeichiro Oda's...

    Bouryoku Banzai - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Reason

    I doubt anyone on the thread thought the series was realistic. The puzzling part is what the author is going for.

    Bouryoku Banzai - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Reason

    Perhaps if you'd read the manga, you'd know that Fuwa actually says 'only heavyweight MMA is real martial arts'? And that he specifies he will be engaging in 'sparring for 5 minutes', to which she consents?

    Kagurabachi - Ch. 78 - Switch

    'They have a plan' was the tagline for Battlestar Galactica. Spoiler: the Cylon plan made zero sense in the show, and probably didn't exist outside the show.

    Kagurabachi - Ch. 78 - Switch

    ...Except that Samura was going to fight the Kamunabi alongside them, or even on his own. Just hide your strength, let him wear himself out, then pile on.

    Kagurabachi - Ch. 78 - Switch

    Pretty clear at this point that the Hishaku grand plan boils down to 'we should be strong enough to win even if we blow our cover, waste huge portions of our fighting power on stunts, needlessly fight a strong guy we could have left alone, divide our forces, and entrust our most powerful weapon...

    Sensou Kyoushitsu - Vol. 11 Ch. 34 - Sweet Dreams

    Still a bit dubious. But not as bad as Lucas' power, which somehow provides him a 3D image of the entire battlefield
