I feel maybe the way Byakuya acted as a teen may be a little closer to his real personality, but probably more mature now since he's older, but still relatively young by soul reaper standards.
I think it's a tie like 7 times out of 10. Maybe a slight edge for Kakashi and Yamato the other 3 times.
Naruto had everyone reason to become as bitter and evil as Gaara but got lucky because he managed to have a few people care about him, and Naruto even acknowledged that too. Them both being children of a kage of their respective villages also add to the parallels in hindsight too.
I feel that Nagato and Obito, while having tragic back stories, aren't down the same level of straight up Jinchuriki hatred Naruto and Gaara faced as kids.
The dialogue too. "Your honor, the defendant had a magical notebook from monsters from another world that can kill people by writing their name ." Not to mention finding unsympathetic jurors or people afraid to convict out of fear of being killed.
They've been just about every FE game since 2010. I don't think switching it up would kill anyone.
Kubo loves fashion. The only thing he was missing was some over the top poses.
Naruto is obviously not the only offender. Many anime do it and I'm on the side of quit building suspension of a character death only to not do it but also not have the character be relevant in any meaningful way to the point that they might as well be dead.
The concept of the Demiurge, a false god pretending to be the creator, has always existed in time in some form since the dawn of human civilization. I think the Demiurge doesn't necessarily have to be some intangible powerful being, but rather, it can be humans who have delusions of godhood and have attained so much power they fancy themselves above humans.
I think the actions of people in power, even in our current modern world, only seem bizarre without the lens of history and how people deluding themselves into thinking they are above other humans is nothing new. It only feels bizarre because we're capturing it in a modern context and not looking back at the bc era or other periods of time in past centuries.
First off, I already know that Democrats are just as responsible for rural America being in it's current state but it still doesn't change the fact thay these people have always enjoyed seeing the suffering of marginalized groups, be it black people, immigrants, LGBTQ+, etc.
I feel like I'm done trying to feel sympathy for people who voted for Trump to hurt marginalized groups, and now they're complaining because they're losing their farms and hospitals. I'm tired of them choosing to betray their interests as soon they think they might be able to get ahead and hurt other people without it affecting their lives, only for it backfire in their face. I feel so checked out those types of people ever seeing reason.
So I got into an online heated discussion with a guy who was effectively downplaying slavery and everything that happened to black people in America. All that's going through my head is that a society can't function if large numbers of people thinking like that are refusing to admit basic truths and realities.
It's makes me understand why figures like Lenin and Mao had to use re-education camps because otherwise, those types of people would be a cancer to society. Is there any solution for those types of people.
