It's not MY definition. It's the commonly accepted definition. An asspull/Deus Ex Machina is something that appears out of nowhere to further the plot, or help a character win against impossible odds. And I was SAYING that the rules of the world setup what is and isn't a Deus Ex Asspull. In Fullmet...

I'm 50/50 on it, but I always thought it was a twist on the Little Albert experiment, where babies were exposed to stimuli of fear and irritation.

Yes. Those are all Deus Ex Machina's. A sudden plot point that saves the day. Cause you know what? SHONEN ARE FULL OF ASSPULLS AND DEUS EX MACHINA! And you do need to see before hand how they achieve it, that's a crucial part of any narrative. Set-up. Ed using Alchemy is a law of that world. We kno...

Me being the crazy guy I am, I'm trying to figure out what Universe Ironfoot sama (I'm naming him after my avatar for now since well...he's pretty much like him LOL) is from. Of course I'm probably not gonna go anywhere with this but I'm trying to decipher those shapes. The only thing i can *assume...

From what I've seen, when people talk about the pointlessness of their deaths, they're talking about how emotional they are in the moment, not about their importance to the plot. To me, I never suffered from that because we never knew what was going to happen next. If I showed someone who has never ...

Here we go again. To repeat what has been said on the past 5 pages. Also here's TV Tropes definition of an Asspull which fits pretty much SSj3 and Unlock Potential AND Ikari. I know it's an asspull, but it's just as bad as Z, and in my opinion a better one due to Trunks character as some other peop...

Vegeta got it because he trained with Whis. That's not some big accomplishment or some "hold" over Goku. He could never get god ki on his own.

As much as I hate Super, I've always loved the new designs. This is no different. The Ganondorf + Gimli fusion reminds me of classic Toriyama art for some reason. I'm so glad he decided not to go with 13 cats, that would've been so lazy and just so meh if Champa and Beerus had more siblings. I wonde...

Gohan is regarded as a fan favourite, so much so a vocal fanbase of his get hyped every new arc at the prospect of his return to fame (I think he works better as Great Saiyaman), but he's done most of what Trunks did. Bullshit power ups that break the power scale? At least 5 times. Against Raditz, ...

I dislike current Akira Toriyama's writing style, I prefer the old him of the manga because things made more sense from an in-universe perspective. I like how he's honest with himself, and is shamelessly lazy, I adore that about him. I also like how he tackles irony in general, like making small guy...

Well, I think in the case of Raditz, he was OK with allowing him to be killed because he wasn't the one who was doing the deed, it was Piccolo. Then again, putting him in a Full Nelson aids him in that, so he's "guilty" of it too. Same with the Genki Dama that he gave to Krillin. I find it...

Yamu was one dimensional for sure. I'd say the guy who tagged along with Mr Satan who was announcing everything at the Cell Game was too.

In my experience, its Masako Nozawa and the Kikuchi score in comparison to Sean Schemmel and the Faulconer score. Those two always seem to be the prime reasons for why people prefer the dub over the sub.

I had a ranking of them but I don't remember exactly; I think I ended up liking them the same. I don't think either are the best out of the 13 though, I think Movie 3 is the best, followed by Movie 1 or 9.

I would have to think that if Zamasu were to know of Zeno, he would be petrified to all hell like the other gods were. If Zamasu were to know that "OHH ZENO SO STRONG HE DELETE EVERYTHING FROM EXISTENCE, INCLUDING UNIVERSES!!!", then I'd expect him to show some fear. I mean, considering t...

A Kaioshin in training should know who their leader is. There is no excuse for not knowing that. Taking to account his dialog about how he is the sole Supreme God and killing the gods without even fearing that a higher power would stop him, that seems to support the fact that he doesn't know about ...

I beg your pardon? Zamasu had more motivation and he is three-dimensional from the start. His motives were interesting and I was intrigued by what he had done so far in the series. He's not really 3D at all since his only change in character is him getting more ruthless towards his prejudice agains...

This is usually an indicator for bad villains to me, so many times have I seen someone get power and then degenerate into some goo like liquid Since when has repetition been a bad thing? As a matter of fact, nothing's that original anymore. I'm not complaining about the repetition, I'm noting the f...

I highly doubt that Zamasu knows who the hell Zeno is considering his speeches about him being the Supreme God (says it in supreme confidence as if it's true) and even killing the other gods in other universes without fear of Zeno interfering. There's also this line of dialog where Zamasu/Goku Blac...
