In which universe is Naruto a historical Manga?
Dude do you even know how a discussion works? I give you a hint. It isn't what you are doing.
Dragonball? Fighting tournaments are a thing. Boxing? Judo? Karate? And all that jazz? When one of those are in the Olympics, wouldn't you call those sports? But okay, you don't like my Naruto example. How about something like Makai Tensho? It's historical, and it still features superhuman samurais and ninjas.
And no. It isn't realistic.
I didn't deny that. All I'm saying is that it has realistic portions as well as unrealistic portions. You're saying everything is unrealistic. I'm pointing out to you many realistic elements of the series.
A school tournament bringing tons of fans into a world cup stadium? TV coverage?
The number of fans are exaggerated, but you also realise it's an anime, and things like that are done on purpose to increase the drama. TV coverage? Sure. I even saw high school female soccer coverage on TV. It's not impossible.
In which universe do teams only have one goalkeeper at a tournament?
Middle school ones? They aren't professionals yet. Even a half in CT at this stage is only like 30 minutes, not 45. They do have substitutes, but considering the number of characters created for the series, you really expect the author to also go out of his way to detail every bench member of a team? Tsubasa has already so many named characters compared to other soccer series.
Second, wasn't Morisaki a substitute for Wakabayashi during the elementary school tournament? Keep in mind that they're still all at school. Maybe the requirement for this tournament is to only get 11 players for your team and if one's injured, it's your own problem. Not all schools put that much resources into their sports, so it's very possible for a lot of teams to not even acquire 11 members for a soccer team. Remember that a school also needs resources to dedicate to the other sports.
You can't do a sliding tackle at 0 velocity. Is it that hard to understand?
Who said the tackle was done at 0 velocity? If you mean Izawa's, he was clearly running so I don't know what you mean by 0 velocity.
Or even better. Hyuga shooting a ball through three feet at once and the ball actually gains speed? How is that supposed to work? Never minding the fact that he was working as a 11-12 year old and already looked like a grown man.
Yeah, it's not realistic, but if you read, I already conceded that the laws of physics aren't applied, but I wouldn't like them to, since Tsubasa relies on special techniques to keep things interesting. Hyuga doesn't look like a grown man, he looks like a grown teenager. I've seen those kind at my own school years back so again, this is not unrealistic. Where's the unrealism with him working at 11-12 years old? You should know that kids in many countries actually start early to help their parents in need. It's a very realistic scenario. You're just grasping at straws now.
It is pretty annoying to quote and write on the phone so I will (sadly as I must be some kind of masochist) come to the other nonsense you came up with later today.
What nonsense I came up with today? You're making unjustifiable claims. I only pressed you on it and you got annoyed first. That's what a discussion is about. If you don't want your ideas challenged, then don't post. I'm an open book.
You continue to bring up stuff I never said. Again with Inazuma Eleven which I still don't know.
What stuff I brought up that you never said? In fact, it was you who brought up stuff I never said, like how I supposedly said that I think soccer is boring. Never did.
I bring up Inazuma Eleven because it's relevant, and also because you made a claim that most sport series are realistic. Sure, that may be the case, but your point misses a bigger point, is that some of the most popular sports series are those that require you to suspend your disbelief. Realistic sports anime isn't the standard, just as much as realistic anime in general isn't the standard either. |
