>anime introduces a super powerful dude or a set of powerful people
>every time they are on screen they job into oblivion so the MC can have his day
Why do 90% of anime's do this? It's not even a fucking shounen issue, literally every anime has this problem.

There's comfort in predictability.
That's why tropes exist.

ANBU are ninjas for ninjas
so it makes since that if they are known at all that means they failed
Cooper Campbell
How would you know if it comes up outside of shounen shit when you don't watch anything else? Because it doesn't.
Liam Williams
because japs love power struggles, and showing how MUCH THE MC HAS GROWN

Yes it does you retard

Anbu, Gildarts, Gohan, ect are all just products of bad writing. They are the cause of the writers throwing "HIGHLY POWERFUL" people into the story to show the MC growing, despite the fact that they either job, or the MC surpasses them within like 2 arcs of them being introduced. Hell, Anbu couldn't even properly deal with Orochimaru.

It might happen outside Naruto, but I can't remember another example as frustrating as the anbu. But, also in Naruto, the jounin from the Sand village jobbed at the point that Chouji and Shikamaru's dads could deal with 5 or 6 of them at the same time, I remember them just running away of giant Chouji's dad and thinking "god how come that these two random guys have so good jutsus and not a single sand jounin has something useful to do, it's just a giant".

They're more of a secret police, like the Nazi SS or whatever the URSS had (the KGB?). They need to at least have a scary reputation.
James Anderson
unironically that isn't me, I didn't even mean for it to look like that. I just wanted a discussion on useless jobber characters that are introduced to be powerful yet job at every corner. Sorry user

Is there anything more pathetic then Bradley?
Ethan Reyes
He's straight up the strongest fighter in FMA. He bodied everyone in the final battle and only lost by contrived coincidence.
Adrian Evans
The problem with those characters is that the heroes are allowed to make a plan around the enemy's seemingly OP ability, but the villains mostly rely on their OP ability and very rarely think of a plan B when it somehow fails or gets exploited. The only counterexample I can think of right now is Dio, who after learning that Jotaro could stop time too, took his time to test his limits instead of just getting mad, screaming "this is not possible!!" and job, but it's not like Araki doesn't fall into that trap with his villains too.

These guys were essentially walking corpses. Everytime I saw them on screen I'd knew they were gonna die.

What caused their downfall was Kishi deciding that Kakashi wasn't just above average Jounin, but literally sub-kage level and one of the strongest in the world.
Effectively had to make everyone else he hyped up look like pussies.
Nathan Cook
I don’t think you know what jobber means, he unquestionably outmatched every opponent he came across and needed the forces of two highly trained warriors and a physically invincible homunculus to even land a scratch on him. Scar flat out admits that Bradley would’ve wiped the floor with him if he wasn’t wounded and tired, and he would’ve come out on top of their duel if not for literal divine intervention
James Edwards
what are you on, King Bradley is the reverse jobber, did you actually see the show? He got killed by bad luck after battling half an army and almost killing Scar while being heavily wounded
Xavier Taylor
The anbu look so fucking cool
Kayden Walker
>He never jobbed in the 2003 adaptation
One of the reasons I prefer that version to Brotherhood. Also the other Homunculi not named Greed had more fleshed out character development.
Levi Robinson
I would love a ANBU anime that focuses on them not jobbing and doing actual covert ninja shit
Tyler Smith

Not just that, the overall powercreep was gone way too far.
Jordan Gutierrez

Didn't he appear I the very first chapter? Also one piece has way more than 12 arcs.

ANBU is the equivalent of CIA, it is mostly an intel agency made to provide the Kage with info.
They are the best at what they can do, but they aren't THAT special.
Dominic Wright
>Hell, Anbu couldn't even properly deal with Orochimaru
To be fair nobody could deal with the snek which is why he is still free after all the shit he did.
Jonathan Baker
>enemy fights MC to the death and then end up being besties afterwards because of misundertandings were cleared up or the battle was omoshiroi
This cliche is far worse than jobbing.
Andrew Parker
hate to be a cunt but the SS were a paramilitary group. You're thinking of Gestapo or the East German Stasi.

Absolutely dishonest post.
I feel fucking bad for defending FT's """""""writing""""""""", but you're such a fucking retard you can't even get something right out of Fairy fucking Tail
They kept on hammering in you that DRAGON SLAYING magic is the only thing that can work on a dragon. No matter how powerful, normal magic just bounces off dragons.
Gildarts doesn't have dragon slaying magic.
Natsu wasn't alone when he defeated Acnologia, and had the combined powers of all the remaining 6 dragon slayers.
Acnologia was able to be defeated because his physical body and soul were separated, an the body was just running on berserk autopilot.
Fucking hell man, imagine not understading Fairy fucking Tail.
Jaxson Cooper
kakashi power level dosen’t make any sense, he went from being bedriden after three magic eye portal to spamming that shit like it’s nothing in the war arc, but only against the only person in the world immune to it, while keeping up with Naruto in a form even stronger than SM
Eli Bailey
Brotherhood was great for its aventure and MCs but some of its main villians were average at Best. Bradheley was forgetyable and same with fatjer
Jose Ross
Bradley was one of the best characters In brotherhood pleb
Caleb Watson
Est shit faggot. He wssnt that special
