He steals art and posts them and then gains thousands of likes and even remove name tags and watermarks on the photos... I just saw my meme there and noticed he removed the name tag like wtf dude... Lookism fans unite and fight against this thief...

He has stolen arts from u/Master_Concentrate98 u/Randomcelestialbeing and me u/Active_Math_3916

Etc...

Self made meme... ✌️

My theory is that SB Daniel will eventually go back to normal... As usual, but the important part is what happens after that.

I think he will start observing how he entered UI and got out in the first place... So to say the procces behind it.

Like his body already experienced it many time but never like this... so now he might slowly understand how to trigger it again.

And maybe that’s the next step for Big Daniel. 

Not just going UI because he lost consciousness… but learning how to enter UI while still awake...

Theory by a friend... ✌️

Daniel needs to use this body to its full potential and find all the secrets to it, cause this body is full of mastery and mystery... ✌️ The only possible key to defeat Kitae, James and the great evil...

And yeah I will be taking James Lee's abilities and shi... ✌️😩

My general thoughts on this was just meant to show that PTJ loves these perception-flip chapters before the counter momentum happens... But some people really hate... Although they know that this is a PTJ writing style.

I commented this somewhere... What do tall think?

Well I read the chapter and must say, James Lee taking a hit from the Fighting geniues, doesn't invalidate the fandom's statement "The Strongest"...

Because what you see here is a similar or common pattern PTJ uses, so structurally, PTJ always uses these brutal cliffhangers as a bait & switch... James likely allowed tthis so said overextension to set up a lethal counter-attack... 100%...

That's my comment on it from one perspective...

And another perspective would be, about how intelligence struggles against pure and unpredictable instinct, one like Tom's to be exact.

So we know Tom represents the peak of Generation 0's wild animalistic brutality, just like Eli does with 2nd Gen.

So even someone like James can't out-think a chaotic blitz in a split second... Because they are just unpredictable and James got caught by that raw stats of Tom but his intellect will dictate how he recovers next chapter.

And I am all more for the latter tbh...

Sorry to say this because I love James, but for someone like Tom, he absolutely walked James down this chapter. For a moment, it genuinely felt like James lost that untouchable aura he had in the last chapter.

But underneath all the raw action, the chapter feels very intentional with how it plays with perception. As usual, PTJ drags the story out by hyping up one character at the cost of another, sometimes even sacrificing their reputation or character depth in the process.

It feels like PTJ is purposely flipping the usual power dynamic here, showing the brutal overwhelming force of Generation 0 crashing into the more refined monsters of the current era. Which honestly makes me think this is just build-up for the opposite later on, eventually proving the new generation surpassed the old one.

Now that’s about the fight itself.

Then there’s Little Daniel… or rather, the complete refusal to show him. Another PTJ move to keep readers hooked the entire chapter while technically revealing nothing. Ngl, the James fight genuinely made me forget about Daniel for a while.

Also, Tom Lee has insanely high battle IQ.

I still think James is going to pull something off and somehow beat Tom Lee.

What do y’all think?
