How much of an asspull do you consider Sternritter to be?
Firstly, the number. The lieutenant and captain level shinigami we see are the top of the cream from potentially billions residents of Rukongai. Every Vasto Lorde devoured hundreds of other hollows and underwent natural selection.
Logically, Quincy would also need huge population base for there to be a few dozen captain-level individuals.
Second, nature of their powers. Despite the sharing of Yhwach’s soul explanation, their Shrifts introduce a dumbass power creep. Abilities slowly turn more and more “unbeatable” like JoJo stands. But MC doesn’t have anything besides swinging and swinging stronger.
Bankai sealing??? On top of Muramasa arc with Zanpakuto Rebellion, Kubo’s just bullying Soul Realer power system at this point
Remember when CP9 went rogue after Spandam blamed them for everything? Why did Oda have them go back? Would it be better for narrative to show that even brainwashed guys can realise they are being abused?
I feel like it could have been a good redemption arc since they were just brainwashed as kids. Much more reasonable than associating with people like Nico Robin, who terrorised unknown number of civilians before becoming a Straw Hat.
These guy never robbed anyone, preferring instead to do a street performance. Justice at its core
I'm a teenager and I feel like if I don't hop on the looksmaxing right now, it will be much harder to change anything after a few years. Could you point out things to take into consideration if you're still in puberty as a guy?
