>ITT: Jumping the shark moments

it jumped the shark long before this scene, this is like jumping flaming sharks on a motorcycle because jumping sharks was too boring for them

psykorochi was a better way of handling tatsumaki than what the webcomic did

>>288084341
Yes, having her getting an asspull power up, literally cut up parts of Earth and flying around in a flesh jet fighter was better than Tatsumaki just getting outsmarted caused by her own, already established, hubris.

Bouryuko Banzai has like three of these in the first 25 or so chapters. It's remarkable, really. I can't decide what's worse between this one and the MC just not giving a shit that his house was burned down. It's a shame this manga is so fucking terrible because the art is phenomenal.

Every added manga scene before this arc added to the story

Every manga scene to the story in this arc innately changed the story

I don't mind the time travel bullshit anywhere near as much as I do the writer missing the entire point of the arc with the changes near the end. The moral was entirely broken.

no it ruined Garou's characterization. it was okay when Garou was being built up as the ultimate edge lord because that was exactly what he was but then Murata did a 180 on his personality and turned him to a comic relief bitch. the REAL story written by One was to build up Garou to be the ultimate edgelord and ONLY saitama was the one able to tell him to grow up

I think it would have been better if their search for the seven walls including the time they spent living among the demons was actually shown instead of being time skipped away. As it is the only good examples of why you wouldnt want to kill demons are Sonju and Mujika who are clearly exceptions.

It would make sense for Emma to not want to kill demons, but with what was shown in the story it wouldnt for the reader, especially when the most recent major arc was about demons hunting humans for sport. It would have taken quite a bit of effort to get the reader to agree with Emma here imo and the story just doesnt try at all and timeskips the part where they could have convinced the reader.

I am okay with this because Saber is way too overpowered in Fate. King Author´s legend does not justify being super strong, super fast, inmune to magic, this bullshit right here >>288087250 and having the most super special weapon in the verse (yes, I know Excalibur has a reason for being that strong in the Nasuverse, but that´s basically a meta-retcon as they obviously only wrote it after they had already decided Excalibur was going to be OP).

King Arthur was not a super human with every hack posible.

Having been a recent daily who read Ashura 3 times before Omega, yeah this scene is crazy. The previous MC did NOT need to come back, and it shouldn't have been so soon. Think Red from Pokemon ontop of Mt Silver, THAT'S what Ohma should have been. A silent final fight for Koga, not NTRfest

>>288084155
I would say it's jumping the shark when people in a story engage in polygamy in a culture that doesn't have that as a normal thing at all and yet none of the other characters seem to be bothered by it

>>
>>288094951
Choujin X has been expertly written thus far, thankfully. No bullshit like Furuta. Batista was dimensions above him as an antagonist.
Partially because CX's setting is so insane Ishida can basically do whatever the fuck he wants with it, and it will fit right in, but he also threw a ton of hints for twists years before they actually happened like mpreg Hitler.
>>
>>288085141
Why doesn't she just move her right arm and cut him in half with the sword?
>>
>>288095067
Personally I found Batista totally grating and uninteresting. I'm glad lots of people seemingly enjoy CX but it's not for me, I guess.
>>
>>288085245
This is definitely a stupid moment but it isn't a jump the shark moment and neither is the house getting burned down (which the MC definitely did care about since he wants revenge on Mitsuhara over it). But neither is a jump the shark moment because a jump the shark moment has to mark a decline in quality and the No Rules stuff has been on balance better than the stuff beforehand especially since it introduced Karate Dad and Miu.

>>288084997
See this is also a really stupid mistake (one that Sandro tried to retcon immediately) but it wasn't followed by a giant dip in quality because not that long after this we get the Berserker Bowl which is probably the best material in Omega aside from the pre ch50 stuff. Whereas Ohma's return marked an immediate drop in quality that it never recovered from, as did the "turning your brain off" bit in the middle of the Inside arc which I'd argue is the actual second jump the shark moment because Omega stopped being merely inconsistent after that and just became straight garbage.

>>288095224
Batista is basically a well written Byronic hero, completely in line with CX's themes. He's utterly obsessed with Hartley and their kid, even his gravity power gets twisted into a time control under the effect of the Mark.

>>288090054
I don’t remember strings being able to cut things, puppet people, sewing organs togheter, creating clones etc…

And neither mochi being able to do most of the shit katakuri pulled. And both these fruits are paramecha too!

Unless you are now telling me they actually got god god fruits too all along!!

>I don’t remember strings being able to cut things
Simple concept that has been used more than once in anime, Doffy's strings are stronger than steel due to his Haki.
>puppet people
>strings controlling people like puppets not being an obvious trope
>sewing organs together
If he has enough control, which he does since he has awakened his fruit, he can make microscopic strings or strings in general to sew anything he wants
>creating clones
Same concept, with enough control he has shown he can make his translucent strings reflect light to show multiple colors.
Katakuri doesn't do anything crazy with his mochi powers, the craziest thing he does is making hot mochi which mochi can be served hot.
All of this falls within the realm of creativity.
Luffy stretching infinitely on the other hand doesn't make sense also rubber melts under hot enough temperatures so he can't actually tank lightning as easily as he does unless you take toon logic into account, inflating your muscles doesn't make sense either.

>>
>>288095858
>stupid excuses
Elaborate or shut the fuck up.
Rubber doesn't stretch infinitely and cannot change momentum like he uses it, and inflating muscles doesn't make any sense in any context you wrote here, the other things do make sense and are simple, not this.
>>
>>288095932
But this is one piece world.
No fruit worked under real life logic beside the very bare minimum correlation.
This is why the whole nikka shit is a coup out!
All of these things could be credible in One Piece world, just like the jacket fruit magically possessing people, or the sticky liquid fruit being a super glue that can burn into an actual fire, or the toy fruit turning people into toys and cancelling memories.
There is no need for real life excuses for why rubber irl doesn’t do that?!
If not, than all the fruits potentially and secretly are god god fruits all along!

Jumping the shark is when Phos got torn apart and left alone for 200 years after none of the Gems even tried to talk to him. Actually, Achmea "freeing" Cairngorn is probably the single biggest moment that led to the series decline.
>>
>>288095847
I loved the story for decades due to Luffy being an underdog rubber man who had to come up with new innovative ways to use his powers in order to beat more powerful opponents.
Now that it's revealed that he had literal God powers all along, his character became a lot less interesting. Fortunately there are other characters to care about
>>
>>288085366
>>288095847
My biggest issue with the entire Nika subplot is that it's literally not needed. He can still symbolize the sun and freedom, he can still have the powers of Gear 5 with a simple awakening, there was absolutely no reason to turn his fruit into a Zoan, it harmed both the story and Luffy as a character.
>>
>>288096485
I'll never understand this particular argument because Luffy stopped being like that long before the Nika fruit and Gear 5 was introduced.

What are you, retarded? Luffy steamrolled all of East Blue just by being stronger than everyone. It wasn't until Crocodile that he met someone superior to him and even then Luffy clearly had the physical edge once he could actually touch him and with Enel, it was Enel who was the underdog against him. It wasn't until Lucci that he arguably had a proper physical rival in strength. Luffy was never a major underdog.
>>
>>288098645
he didn't steamroll anyone in east blue. even don krieg (a dude with no powers) was a huge struggle and arguably a draw since both were incapacitated
>>
>>288098699
Any struggles he had were like small inconveniences to him minus Arlong throwing him into water. He pummeled everyone he came across in East Blue. Not losing a single fight across the way.
>>
>>288093649
I disagree
I actually think the moment for HxH was the fact that Netaro had a procedure done to carry an extremely strong yet small scale and poisonous nuke that was JUST enough to only kill the King and his Royal Guards
I think it should have been an actual nuke that wiped out the country and I'm not joking. Either that or the ants should have won

Even though I say this, I find the following moments some of my favorite ever
From Meruem fearing for his life for the first time, Chairman taunting Meruem that he has no clue what human malice/evolution is capable of, Pam begging Meruem to not bow his head, Meruem asking Komugi if she was still there as they die, Welfin wracking his head for an answer and coming up with Komugi's name... some really fantastic moments there
Does not justify it being caused by an insane plot contrivance though
>>
>>288093649
Reminder when this shit first leaked people were saying it was a fake leak made to make HxH look bad. When it turned out to be real they changed their tune and went "actually, it makes sense because blah, blah, blah"
