@200Flashy @bibiiking11 I like Haki, I thought it was a great way to synthesize the weird, disparate counters to DFs Oda was making up along (mantra, CP9 abilities, Zoro cutting metal). It’s not the main grab to me of OP, its a well executed fix over a power level problem that does reinforce the themes
English
@theedandy @bibiiking11 Haki is the main power system of one piece. It’s literally built on willpower/ inherited wills which is the central theme of one piece. 😭 Regardless they work in tandem and they don’t work well. People are always confused as to how they conflict and etc. Like ACOC
English
@SudlaSteel @bibiiking11 Nah nen was planned as the system by then sorry, I was just pointing out it was sort of clunkily dropped into the world without worrying about wider implications. Cuz wider worldbuilding isn’t the point for togashi and that’s fine. that doesn’t have to be the point
English
@theedandy @bibiiking11 Wait you believe Nen wasn’t even planned by the Kastro fight??? They were already learning Nen at that point so I’m extremely confused.
English
@200Flashy @bibiiking11 OP is abt fighting systems-oppressive governments/monarchies/slave trades. Obviously there are villains within the systems, but the crew fights for ideals. HxH is about conflicting character motivations not fighting systems (sans election arc)
English
@theedandy @bibiiking11 Other way around. That’s how it appears to us. All those characters are the WORLD
English
@200Flashy @bibiiking11 Yeah OP is also “make up as go along” to some extent, with Haki being the biggest example. It’s just also not the main power system (devil fruits) at the center. My point is HxH worldbuilding is a (well executed) afterthought. OP’s world systems are the main conflict
English
@theedandy @bibiiking11 Buddy haki was introduced when? And it’s notoriously inconsistent. Nen being introduced late works for the narrative as we finally see how people like hisoka unravel.
English
@SudlaSteel @bibiiking11 nen aura being invisible doesn’t mean people seeing people split in two, move things with their minds, then eventually control crowds of people and explode them isn’t crazy magic!
English
@SudlaSteel @bibiiking11 Even the tournament setting nen is introduced within is a little funky. Masters of the tower all clearly have magic abilities with televised matches. The magic is also super top secret? Hxh worldbuilding is a turn-your-brain off & have fun world at the beginning, up to nen intro
English
@SudlaSteel @bibiiking11 Sorry dog, the main power system of a series being introduced in volume 7 of the manga is *way late*. Nen is goated, it’s just not congruent with how the story was set up. Killua’s non-knowledge of Nen considering his family is most egregious
English
@theedandy @bibiiking11 Nen is not introduced way late it’s the second arc of the series (if rescuing Killua is an “arc” then 3). I think it is very clear especially on rewatch/re-read that Nen or some similar power was planned from the start.
English
@bibiiking11 OP is “characters vs the world they live in”. HxH is like “characters vs other characters”
English
@bibiiking11 I love both, but hxh’s worldbuilding strikes me as more “making up as we go along” than OP. Nen is introduced way late, countries a wholly imported over from real life etc. OP’s world feels like *the point* of the story. Hxh’s world feels like it does what it needs to per chapter

@adamjohnsonCHI This year I cut a bite sized chunk out of my roommates cream cheese bagel. Made him think I was a bad guy. We had a laugh when I gave him back the chunk - I love April fool!
English
There’s simply never been a funny April Fools “joke” or prank in the history of the world. As a cultural tradition it’s 0 for 56,054,050,008,340 but no one wants to admit it
English
No one talks about how hard it is being a bad person Like i have all of this guilt and remorse for my wrongdoings

@bumbadum14 I mean I was working for a pretty big civil engineering company at the time and we had to hire a good few more federal peeps to keep track of all the contracts and stuff - seems to have actually gone to infrastructure from my perspective
English
My favorite fact about the Biden administration was that it set aside 2 trillion dollars for reviving America’s infrastructure and it literally disappeared.
Just gone, nobody knows what Buttigieg did with it.

I have long maintained that Biden will be viewed favorably by history 1) because he was a very good president and 2) he will look even better when viewed between the disaster of 2 Trump presidencies. It’s already playing out. I will be vindicated sooner than expected ❤️

@OfficiallyIce I think Matt Damon is the middle of a Venn diagram of Jesse Plemons’ and Mark Wahlberg’s facial characteristics

I never knew son name. Always called him “evil Matt Damon.”
