Who wins ?

And no i dont mean who has a better throne or sitting position.

On a fateful day, the world of Teyvat suffers a cataclysm as a engine of destruction awakens.

Deathwing the destroyer.

Can the world push him back or does the end of all life upon Teyvat occurs ?

Suffice to say the writting and the way the Fatui as a whole were handle has not being the best.

So if we were to compare the way the harbingers have been used compare to the iconic villain squad of naruto ( who weren't flawless too mind you).

Where did the fatui as a Organization fail if using the Akatsuki as a comparaison to how to handle a villain squad?

I posted a few days ago about wether the Akatsuki are still a good villain squad in the anime landscape

https://www.reddit.com/r/shounenfolk/s/djvRRBpTLk

Reception has been positive with many saying the phantom troupe from HxH are their only direct contenders

But this has got me thinking about another villain squad from one of the most well received manga ever. That was not mention in the post.

The Homunculi from Full metal alchemist ( the manga/brotherhood ones).

How do they hold up as a villain squad when compare to others including the heavy hitters like the Akatsuki and Phantom troupe mentionned above?

Tezcatlipoca vs Happy Chaos

Villain squads

Organisations/gathering of antagonists in the series. At times having a ranking system to clarify whose the strongest among them

Wether they have a common drip or each have a different design

And wether they are a squad for one story arc or one for the overaching storyline

And among them the Akatsuki is one of the most famous evil squad in the genre. Easily recognizable by their members coats.

Question is after all those years since the end of the series ( and its flaws) and with so many new evil squad in manga/anime ( League of villains, demon moons etc..)

Has the Akatsuki stood the test of time among villain squads ?

Death can have me, when it earns me.

Ronova vs Kratos

Boy Imu really F him up badly.

Ciel and Jack

If you know what i mean you know about their unique existence

Are they just the same ?

Bleach has its issues ofc

But the poems that give insight into a character at the start of each volumes are so good(the last one though from cour 3 trailer). Kubo really knows how to make them. It such a small thing yet i love it.

Which ones are your favorite ?

Who wins?

Yup crossover time

Where would he rank amongst Servants ?

Like how strong is the supreme overlord and where would you put him?

Like Kotone was created only for Portable and until the play and Q2( and soon P5X) was mostly ignored in favor of Makoto

And yet she such a enduring fanbase

With Cutscene project that includes a original song(moonlight daydream) and opening for her route

And to say nothing of the Reload FMC project that is also redoing all the animated cutscenes with her.

Kotone fans are truly one of a kind.

Kh2 is notable for having one of the most conclusive ending to a opus in the series to date. If not the most conclusive ending as everything is more or less wrapped up.

The destiny island trio is back. The Disney crew is back. The heartless and Nobody of xehanort are gone. Roxas and Namine story reach a conclusion. It wraps up the Kh1-CoM-II trilogy.

There was no cliffhanger or many unresolved points or build up for the next major game like in kh3 end which sets up the next story arc.

About the only thing really not completely resolved iirc are maleficent and the bottle message at the end. But it can be seen as a "the adventure continues" ending stuff as nothing too big is said about the message.

With the many later games and plot getting more and more crazy and each new game setting up even more games. There are fans of the series who feel that II end was in retrospect a excellent ending point for the series. Or at least Sora story. Owning to its conclusive nature.

Do you think KH2 could have been a good endpoint for the kingdom hearts series ( or again, for the destiny island trio)?
