It's not about race, it's about lifespan or ability to simply survive in the same environment.

A girl comes out of my monitor and holds me.

>Villain from the previous series returns to fuck up the new villain

It's more losing your nobility to date a commoner. Or like becoming a jew so you can date a Jewish woman.

>Villain beats MC with the power of fruendship

My favorite trope is when the author comes up with an original idea

Have you got any good examples for the first one? I love me some chuuni chants.

When Kuroki inevitably reappears for a fight in Omega, is he going to continue to stomp everything with MARTIAL ARTS FUNDAMENTALS and EXPERIENCE or is he going to job to establish a threat
Him calling himself green at the end of Asura really makes me think he's going to job to show off the power of the antagonists whenever they reveal themselves.

not to turn it into a kengan thread, but I feel like he'll tie or narrowly beat one of the villains just for another thats just as strong to be right there

On it’s own Kuroki jobbing to the antagonist wouldn’t feel too hamfisted, but any other character beating someone strong enough to make Kuroki job would be complete bullshit.

Are there any other good examples of this? Kengan honestly is the only one i could think of right now.

>become right

I really wish we got more of Gohan struggling to balance being the strongest hero and protector of the Earth after his old man with trying to live a normal-ish life, and ultimately finding his own way of doing things. Instead Goku just came back.

WHY IS THE TEXT IN MANGA SPEECH BUBBLES ALWAYS WRITTEN IN ALL UPPERCASE?

IT'S NOT LIKE THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE USES THE LATIN ALPHABET, AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A CONCEPT OF UPPER AND LOWERCASE LETTERS, SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ACTIVE DECISION MADE BY WESTERN TRANSLATORS.

I was actually JUST reading a scanlation the other day where they had a translator notes page at the end that said "WE'VE LISTENED TO YOUR DEMANDS AND SWITCHED TO ALL UPPERCASE"

So apparently there is a market for this

I wish this was a thing in real life

ITS EASIER TO READ THAT WAY ESPECIALLY IF THE TEXT IS SMALL

Naruto
HxH
Dragon Ball

Probably because most comics use only uppercase, so it's kind of the standard for that.

This shit is absolutely based

True, but comics are for children. Manga, on the other hand, is much more mature and sophisticated.

Is this game already out?
Also is there a way to play 6 without having to buy and Xbox?

I see you are a puppet of culture as well.

What's this anime called? Saw a clip of it before but can't remember the name

>Two villains face off against each other

The name was right there in that post though. If you are planning to watch then watch it subbed, the dub has pointless re-writes and the voice acting is pretty bad.

SASUGA

Dragonforce

That's the fucking worst if we've spent so much time invested in them training to win beforehand. It makes it feel like it was all for nothing.

It also annoys me that someone could be so stupid as to not be cautious after a victory, and an unknown foe arrives.

>>city is shit saying hero was wrong for 'abandoning' them during a crisis even though they chased him out

>>he still comes back because that is what heroes do
>>gets proper recognition this time

More like
>>Comes back
>>Bodies the villian
>>Turns the city into a crater during the battle without the slightest regard for their property, even looks like he's purposely destroying as much as possible.
>>Tells them all to go fuck themselves
>>Leaves

Galand is the best example of this I think.

This made me laugh.

>villain gets up after being knocked down by lone protagonist
>Villain: "Heh, you just don't get it, do you?"
>protagonist becoming further overwhelmed
>Villain's best friend: "We're strong because we have eachother!"
>Villain's will they/won't they love interest: "That's a type of strength you will never understand!"
>Villain's loner rival turned friend: "If you stand alone, you'll fall alone too!"
>All together: "We stand together!"
>villain and friends defeat the protagonist with the power of friendship as protagonist screams "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

What makes you think I was talking about OPM?

>Vegeta's final flash against Cell

This is trash. It's the sign of a true beta shounen MC.

Darkness-power using group are good.

>villain receives all of the powers of his rivals, the MCs, and all of the most powerful beings in their character's universe
>Can nullify or withstand every single attack from every protagonist
>Also withstands attacks from all of the most powerful characters from present AND past, all at once
>No-one knows how the fuck the villain will be beaten
>not even the author of the story
>villain is transformed into someone else with a weakness that they didn't have
>MCs work together to defeat this new villain

It's like Ainz vs Foresight, but reversed.

Saitama doesn't do anything like that.

Who I'm talking about does it maliciously.

>Really likable side character hijacks the story by becoming the Narrator as well as villain and kidnaps his 'daughter' and basically just goes fucking insane while ruining the relationships and lives of every character you grew to like, becoming the ultimate fucking douchebag.

gintaman?

Close enough, user

Alright, sounded a bit like Saitama and the meteor scene aftermath through the onlooker's eyes; still it sounds nothing like what my post was referring to though.

Forgot to add to that early episode where Saitama punched that giant guy and he fell on the city and destroyed it.

This is awfully specific, please tell me what you’re referring to. Anyway, here’s a trope that feels more satisfying than sex.
>Hero slowly gathers a group of friends around him, getting to know each of them personally
>He knows that they are capable of defending themselves and they work together as equals, defeating minor villains
>In the big boss fight, his closest allies are injured despite their strength
>MC becomes overprotective badass who slays his enemies in one shot thanks to the power of pure rage, only so he can rush to his friends’ side and make sure they’re alright

The gag characters are actually obscenely powerful.
