| Basically, writers using Deus Ex Machinas and simply coming up with things out of thin airs for convenience instead of logical storytelling. For me war arc Shippuden. |
 |
| It was aliens all along in; This ass was pulled so hard I still have whiplash. |
 |
| Fairy Tail has the biggest asspull! |

|
| Every One Piece arc, especially after the |
 |
| Boku no Pico had some pretty big ass pulls. |
| The final battle in Soul Eater anime |
Several times, mainly in the final arc, major characters "die", and then show up alive a few scenes later. Also, a few times when Erza gets beaten up badly, is about to get hit by the full power of a much stronger enemy, and she still pulls off a win. |
| Agree with fairy tail having the biggest asspulls especially with markarov. The guy should have been dead by now but he's still drinking his beer. |
 |
| Mind Game. The MC literally pulls the gun he was going to get killed with using his ass. |
 |
| Fairy tail, Makarov cheated death more than 7x. Erza's a literal walking plot convinient bitch and the whole story is just one big happy asspull. |
  |
| I haven't watched fairy tail but my sister describes it as a series of giant asspulls one after the other. |

| Deus Ex Machina? Sounds like Code Geass and TTGL! I still really like TTGL tho. Also Hunter x Hunter |

| Girls suddenly regaining all their body functions in Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru. Best thing is, that in sequel they ass pulled ending again. |

I was glad that she didn't die tho. If I remember correctly, there was special item within the game, that allowed to resurrect slain players within 30 seconds or so, which Kirito squired from Santa boss, meaning that after HP drops to 0, player dies in real life after this 30 seconds or so. Kirito defeated final boss before that 30 seconds have passed, so Asuna's brain wasn't fried and she just got disconnected from SAO, or rather transported to different game. I'm not sure about this, but it kinda makes sense. |

Superns18 said: @shotto not only was it an asspull, but it also was such typical trigger/gainax that it just was laughable. @Gythia, any specifics or examples? Never seen it Yea, it was a such a trigger thing. I saw the alien stuff and thought, "Huh, they pulled a kill la kill on us" cause both shows had decent build ups but then blames everything on god damn aliens. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| There's a lot I could mention, but Fairy Tail definitely takes the cake. Makarov makes Subaru's "return by death" ability look like a joke, and then Erza's ability is LITERALLY plot armour lmao Edit: Also I loved Gurren Lagann but I thought it had some bad asspulls, same with Shippuden. |

| 7 deadly sins. most action boys tend to get stronger just through time skips, minimal training or unlocking a hidden power but in 7 deadly sins, the characters just remember they are strong. Like they lost an earlier fight simply because they forgot about how powerful they actually are. Merlin is the biggest example. And its not like they have amnesia, its like it just skipped their mind (though really its clear the author is just making it up as he goes). |

 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| Trapped in a game world, with game mechanics. |
 |
| I can't choose so im gonna list them. Sword Art Online season 1. Every time Kirito gets into Conflict Yui chan fights for him or he's demonically overpowered. Even the last battle. You die in game, You're supposed to die like all the hundreds of other players that died, in game. Not Kirito. He comes back to life with shear determination alone even though he's in a virtual world of someone else's creation. JoJo season 1, When he gain his Hamon Power. Gain power by holding a cup of liquid in your hand and all of a sudden you say you understand how to use this new super power, Defeats bad guy. JoJo's season 2, When the MC defeats the bad guy. The boy says, I am half dead with plenty of broken bones. I don't know why I pulled this rock out and I never knew what it does but all of a sudden I understand it now. It amplifies Hamon. Defeats bad guy. Demon Slayer. Zenitsu fights. Makes the coward character that doesn't fight, pass out and start killing Demons. Demon is dead, He comes back to his senses. Oh snap, Who did that? Demon Slayer. Fights the Ghost of a Kid for a few months thinking he's fighting a real boy as training. Nope, its just a Rock. How do you have a sword fight with a Ghost? Dragonball Super. Soooo many asspulls. Trunks somehow does a Spirit Sword despite never learning the technique and Goku taking for ever to learn the spirit bomb technique. He takes their Ki without even asking like Goku has each time. When 18 was fighting that wacky character. The character absorbed Ki from the people of universe and THE GODDESS OF DESTRUCTION (which can be considered cheating but I guess not cause Dragonball Superrrrr) . Annnd 18 wins the fight. When Goku, 17, and 18 were fighting those Dog looking characters. They changed the gravity and was holding them down. Then Goku goes to Super Saiyan Blue, and overcomes the gravity and defeats them. Which makes no sense because when Goku was fighting 17, Goku couldn't even hit on 17 with a SUPER SAIYAN BLUE Kamehameha. Every time Goku is in trouble in the tournament against Jiren, Ultra Instinct. Something that not even the Immortal Gods of Destruction can easily pull off. But he constantly spams it. |

| whats the difference between plot twist and asspull? because some of this responses make me question this especially with Darling in the FranXX |
Nubiellee said: I can't help but think about Dr. Stone, especially like it happened at least three times and I bet it will happen again in future episodes. I still love this anime so much. lol When who died? and How? @deg Plot Twist is when something very unexpected happens. Say for instance a woman that looks very young hits on a character. He thinks she a child. Plot twist, She's actually a 1000 year old Goddess. AssPull is when the author saves a character with some great power or determination with no justification at all and cant possibly even make sense.

I almost forgot about DBS because I had to stop taking it seriously after a certain point, the asspulls in that were some really next level stuff, absolutely horrible. |

monkeyDberzerk said: WrngHoleOniiChan said: Deus Ex Machina? Sounds like Code Geass and TTGL! I still really like TTGL tho. Also Hunter x Hunter I wouldn't call Hunter Gon an asspull because it obeys nen laws. Nanika on the other hand is one huge asspull. You're right, what I meant was the fact that Gon had to sacrifice literally everything, and Alluka just recovered him back to his usual state, besides the fact that he's not able to use nen anymore. The thing is, Ging said that he still has the ability to use nen, he just have to search for something in order to use nen once again. But yeah, my bad here, I've forgotten the details because I watched it quite a long time ago. Tista said: It ties to the new arc in the manga, and if you read it you see that things where not so simple for Gon. Anime only will never understand it, though. You have to read the manga. Yeah, I think I'll read it in the near future. Internet says that anime ends on chapter 338, should I start here or read it from the beginning? Does the plot vary significantly? |

| The weird Black Stone crap that encases them all was actually some sort of Miracle healing crap. Senku had it on his neck. The guy broke Senku's neck. Senku healed with it. The guy thought he killed Senku when he hit him, but he never even killed him. It was assumed that he killed him. I can't remember what episode number it tells about the Miracle crap but yeah. Whatever entity that encased Humanity in that crap, actually gave Humanity some sort of super healing concoction. |

monkeyDberzerk said: Nope. Nor G4 nor Snake man can be considered an asspull but rather "gear second" but it's an asspull done however right. Oda realized he did a mistake and tried resolving it to which he did later on with Luffy's training. It was something with it's downrights to which makes it an asspull done right.Orion_Gospel said: Every One Piece arc, especially after the Any examples?
