are there any SMALL changes you would make in any book to make the story more cohesive and better?
an example would be to make it that annabeth and luke ALWAYS saw eachother as siblings, which gets rid of some of the weird elements that were added
I'm hopping into the PJO and extended fandom for the first time online and am shocked to see all the discourse around Rick's writing now.
Do we still like him? Or is the fandom trying to distance itself from him now?
Black Clover like many shonens is subject to some retcons that lead to sometimes jarring reactions, so what are some retroactive changes you would make to make futures twists/retcons more foreshadowed?
the 3 I have pictures of are my choices, but I want to know what you all think.
Over the past week since vol 38 and the perfect grimoire release I have been avoiding Reddit and black clover content religiously to not get spoiled about what happens in the extra chapter. When I finally manage to get around to reading it….. I find that happened.
No confirmation of anything with what happens to asta long term or anything. I can’t find anything from the perfect grimoire either.
Have I been avoiding Reddit for nothing!?!
They will tell you that this man is the strongest among the magic knights, the one closest to becoming the next wizard king. They are all LYING THROUGH OF THEIR TEETH.
This presentation boils down to mainly his ability in comabt, altho I can make a spearate post about the whole Elf debacle and how he failed to stop it.
This man cannot fight anyone and win. Throughout the series, he take L after L after L when he goes up against the series's combatants.
Fig 2 shows how during the battle at that one border city after the underwater temple arc has william summon a giant tree, his only major attack spell shown in the series. This spell is shown to take charge up time, and will drain the mana out of anyone who touches it. While the spell is shown to work great on the fodder diamond mages, it does nothing against the shining generals. Even while William no diffs a shining general (fig 3), the generals have shown to be mostly pretty weak, as vice captains and mages of that level seem to be able to deal with them easily. This is his only normal win in the entire series.
Now we must go to the dark triad arc, where the titular antagonists arrive and try to take Yami and william. Fig 4 shows yami dealing with Dante, making this fight very difficult, forcing dante to go into his super form and push himself to his max devil power. Yami would have killed him several times over were it not for dante's hax regeneration powers. Meanwhile Fig 5 shows william's preformance. Off-screened and seemingly no diffed. Yuno seriously made Zenon try harder than William. While william does recover a slight bit after yuno gets stabbed and heals many golden dawn members, he is still unable to do anything against zenon and gets captured. Him getting cpatured so easily allows zenon to warp to yami and dante after they finish fighting and easily capture him. Its william's fault the advent even happened.
Later when he and yami are freed from the qlipoth advent, yami is ready to go and fight, but WILLIAM has to go rest bc he's too weak to continue, so he just makes a sword for yami and asks him to deal with lucifero (Fig 6). This man contributes a weapon and is too weak to do anything else, EVERY other captain is fighting for their lives against lucifero while this man sleeps with his elf boyfriend.
Finally we have his performance during the final battle. Which consists of Fig 7 and Fig 8. His arm gets destroyed by a lucius clone, and he falls injured. he then promotes yuno admiting he's far stronger than him, basically saying that he himself does not have enough power. He is only able to fight back and defeat a Lucius clone in Fig 8 after he is buffed by never never land and is backed up by charlotte and having anti magic gordon buffing them both with his curse manipulation technique.
In conclusion, this man is BUM who either fights fodders, makes antagonists try harder against his subordinates, sleeps while his comrades fights for their lives, and only defeat powerful enemies when he is very buffed and has back up support.
I'm willing to back up my arguments in the comments, I wish to debate with you all
I personally would invert it. Instead of Naruto being an absent(ish) parent, he’d be more overbearing annoying Boruto a lot, still causing some father son tension but in a much more believable and logical way. He would also totally use shadow clones for hokage work.
But I want to hear your opinions! How would you write it instead?
When my Nincada (fused with a gyarados) evolved after a gym battle, There was no shedninja. I had an open space in my part and 15 pokeballs in my bag. any idea why shedninja didnt appear?
I wanted to give my own take on the tier list as i believe 3 main points about it
Geto is actually pretty strong. He's got tons of curses and probably the most utility out of anybody on here. since his uzumaki blast rivalled vol 0 Rika's with only half of his spirits, I believe he could theoretically overpower Ryu's granite blast and probably take down most of the people beneath him.
There are cases where a matchup between two characters would have the loser higher on the tierlist than the winner simply bc of overall strentgh and counters (main case uro and ryu)
I belive EVERY tierlist should have a special unrankable or situational tier. There are characters who are just downright wacky (takaba), Heavily depend on the opponent (Mahoraga and higuruma) or we just havent seen enough of (EOS megumi and tengen)
Characters are in order with the sole exception of the #5 candidates tier
Please offer your opinions, I want to hear them and debate with people in order to improve the list
We all know that Luffy is taking a while to eat all that food so he can prepare to fight imu right? But since for Luffy, food =power / energy, what if eating all this food beforehand will give him an extra long or powerful gear 5 transformation?!
Since it appears we have all seemed to have unanimously agreed
but then who is number 5?
I know this is a contentious subject so lets please keep it civil and use reasonable arguments
Candidates are in the photo. I just put people who might have a shot at it
You mean to tell me some people in the game haven't learned to play at least 2 characters of each role? and that there's people who only play 1 role?!
Welcome everybody, to my presentation for why Logia's (and logia adjacent fruits) actually have the greatest weakness of the 3 types of fruits. Please note this mostly applies to the new world but it does explain some inconsistencies.
So you may be thinking "why would Logia fruits be the weakest type? they have so much power! Some of the Strongest characters like the admirals use them!"
There is one simple answer to this: their intangibility.
While some may consider this to be the strongest part of the fruit, it actually gives the user a glaring weakness - No tolerance for pain or injury.
When Blackbeard Fights Ace on Banaro Island and reveals the anti logia property of the Yami-Yami no mi, he states something among the lines of "it been a while since he's been hurt like that"
By becoming absolutely intangible to most forms of pain, they forget how it feels and have little to no resistance for it. This means that when they DO get hit, it deals so much more damage to them.
This is how some early antagonists on the grand line who were amazingly strong were beaten by Luffy. Crocodile was hard countered by waterluffy and Enel was hard countered by just luffy, neither of them had experience pain like that in such a long time and thus become very frail fighters. It is doubtful Enel ever felt pain to that scale considering his reaction.
This also explains how Luffy beat Katakuri and Cracker. During WCI both of them explicitly said that they don't like feeling pain. While Cracker is not a logia, he used the bisu-bisu no mi to shield himself from all pain and thus when he was finally hit directly by gear 4 tankman, he was instantly defeated. Katakuri's "special Paramecia" mochi-mochi no mi acts identical to a logia, and combined with his future sight, he was counter attacks made with haki. however, once luffy actually began to hit him, he was defeated even though he must have hit luffy over 10 times the amount of times luffy hit him.
This by extension also applies to the holy knights. while we havent seen many cases of it, when someone without conqueror's haki gets hit by it, they immediately get folded (think Sommers v rayleigh, many knights vs rocks). Only those with their own Conq haki can defend against it as seen with HK harald and Domi rocks, as it took harald resisting the mark and letting loki kill him and Roger/garp using critical mass haki against rocks to take them down.
You may be wondering how does this affect luffy, as he has a pseudo resistance to blunt hits, and while this is true, he is not immune to all forms of pain. over the series he has experienced so much physical pain, he has gained a much much higher tolerance for it than the majority of his opponents. this is why he won against Katakuri, Doflamingo, crocodile and many of the series's antagonists.
So why is this important? well its because many of the antagonists we have yet to deal with have some sort of intangiblity. Like I previously mentioned, the Holy Knights and the Admirals both has this power and by extension this weakness (the admirals likely to a lesser degree, considering their preformance in marineford and kizaru in egghead). The 5 elders will be exposed to some sort of anti-hax abiltiy and immediately fold considering they are all old men.
It also explains why none of the emperors have logia fruits (barring blackbeard but we'll get to him). Kaido and Big Mom have absolutely crazy amounts of durability. Even old man whitebeard tanked over 200 hits from a variety of sources while having stage 4 cancer. we havent seen shanks in a true fight yet so we cant say anything about him. And of course buggy is buggy.
But what about Blackbeard? The dark dark fruit doesnt have the intangiblity, in fact it makes it seem like attacks hurt more! blackbeard seems to have some kind of special body that for one gives him the ability to eat more than one devil fruit, but also gives him inasne durability (this man was tanking quake hits from whitebeard and only ending up with a bloody nose for imu's sake!). His pain tolerance and durability will make him an insane opponent for luffy to face, and will truly cement him as the final antagonist of the series.
This is an important topic powerscalers should remember, as it applies heavily to many important characters rn
TL;DR logia make you weak to getting punched when you actually get punched
Like, at the beginning of the show it was pretty much just vanessa, but over the course of the show, it slightly increased, jumping up very quickly after the Elf Saga with many characters in a kind of uncomfortable way (Think Noelle's upgrades, Bell's new forms).
What do you guys all think about this
Whenever i try to edit the configs in the FTP files area, it'll say its been altered, but when i load up a new world to test if the configs worked (some of them are about structure generation) it doesnt work.
then when i go back to the files my edits have been have been made into a new copy of the config files, and i can't delete the original
How do i make sure my configs actually affect things?
According to the new lore cards, quote “she lost her status as an immortal weapon when her patron Shan-Zhizhu, the mountain spider, was killed by an unknown assailant (probably apocalypse)”
So while everyone else got a fun new costume, widow’s patron got killed and didn’t have time to give her one. Ironic that the assassin’s patron got assassinated
I’m working on a mod pack for a new server for my friends and wanted to add fazcraft to it (1.20.1). However I could not find it and when I checked the curseforge website, i couldn’t find it either. It’s still on modrinth (which I don’t use) so what happened?
I have a suspicion it’s something to do with the controversy of the creators of curseforge
Who would have fought who and what would have happened?
Maybe Obito will give specific roles to each member, like to take out or keep away Hiruzen, Kakashi or Minato, who would do each one?
There are MANY characters in One Piece who have not been given the chance to show their true power due to limited appearance or their time in the spotlight being saved for the future.
As a result, people are heavily under or over ranking them, based on very limited knowledge (I've seen people say ragnir > mihawk and current zoro > mihawk)
I say that we collectively make a list of characters who we think fall into this category of "unscalable" bc their time in the spotlight has not arrived yet and we haven't been able to see them do anything
Photos are examples of those I believe fall in this category

There are a SHOCKING number of similarities between Naruto and JJK.
Please not I'm am not saying that JJK copied naruto or anything I'm just pointing up out similarities
Naruto and JJK spoilers BTW
this is a world with a special energy system inherent to all people (chakra/Cursed energy)
there are monsters specifically made out of this (Tailed Beasts/Curse Spirits)
people use this energy to become fighters (shinobi/sorcerors)
The main character is an orphan who has a really special parent and has a demon sealed inside of him, who threatens to break out at any moment and go on a rampage (Naruto/Yuji) (Special parent - minato and kushina / kenjaku) (demon - Ninetails/Sukuna)
There's a cool edgy side protagonist with frizzy black hair and a special hereditary technique, and their family gets massacred at one point by an older relative (megumi/sasuke) (Technique: Sharingan and 10S) (relative - itachi/maki)
There's typical female protagonist who is also there for a lot of the show, but has periods where they don't do anything before they make one final grand contribution (sakura/nobara) (contribution - punched kaguya/stunned sukuna)
Their mentor figure is a guy with White hair, special eyes and covered part of his face. (Kakashi with sharingan/ Gojo with six eyes)
Their mentor had a best friend who turned to the dark side and ended up being a key antagonist because they became disillusioned with the idea of being a fighter and wanted peace (obito/Geto)
There are important side characters who have no control or just none of the special energy who fight using their inherent physical strength. (Rock lee and Might guy/ Toji and Maki)
Theres an event where they had practical matches with people from another group of magic people who live far away. (chunin exams/ exchange event)
Out of the many side characters, there's a guy who doesn't talk much, a animal guy, puppet guy, a wind girl, a really strong guy who was initially a jerk but became best friends with the protag, (Shino, Panda, Kankuro, Temari, Gaara/inumaki, panda, mechamaru, momo, Todo)
There's an entire arc dealing with people who died and came back and started fighting (Reanimations and the War arc/culling games)
There's a being who's been secretly manipulating everything for over a 1000 years and he specifcally used the body of the mentor's evil friend (Kenjaku/ Black Zetsu)
There are even more similarities I didnt mention here
