@S-Mazoku Yes I am a filthy fanboy. You can't nitpick what is and isn't foreshadowing. Also I never said that scene with Ging took place on the Dark Continent. It's just like GI an unexplored island, implying there's much more.

@monkeyDberzerk Nen is just life force in HxH, any living thing has it. In Yorknew there was a girl who could foretell the future but didn't know anything about Nen.

Also no repercussions?? I'm pretty sure there were... except with Killua's wish that indeed is kinda BS but not an asspull when Nen as a concept is fluid and we've seen examples of that throughout the series


The fact that it can grant practically any wish without any repercussions while breaking the very law that nen hatsus are based on (vows and limitations) makes it broken. Togashi simply ignored every limitation of nen and created a Mary Sue with no foreshadowing, and that's what makes Nanika an asspull.

And no there were no repercussions for the user, i.e., Nanika/Alluka/Ai.


Mary Sue? Lol sure some demonic creature who killed hundreds of people and doesn't have any morals... not even a shred of human qualities.

''Give me your liver!'' asked the Mary Sue

That aside we still don't know what repercussions there are for the user or how different this type of aura is for creatures like it. Whatever, feel free to call it asspulls. I call it expanding the world

Let's just leave it at that

Then the minority of readers don’t pay attention.

The form was efficient against Katakuri precisely because it utilised the Advanced Future Sight Observation Haki that Luffy learnt from fighting Katakuri prior to using Gear 4th: Snake Man

He needed to train his Observation Haki by fighting against Katakuri in his normal form so that when he used Snakeman, he would be able to use Future Sight to track the location of Katakuri to quickly hit him.

If anything is an asspull in One Piece, it’s Gear 2nd.
But nobody calls it that because prior to first using it, it was already established that Luffy comes up with techniques on the spot when he sees something cool — eg, when Luffy saw a pinwheel hat in Arlong Park, he got excited and thought of a new technique which he used later on.
Yes, he was inspired to create the Gear 2nd technique by seeing CP9 agents using Soru.
But still, it could’ve been foreshadowed better.


I already said that I don't consider Snakeman to be an asspull so I have no idea why you're still arguing. Or are you not?


Haha I wasn’t arguing with you, but disproving the minority of readers.

The last point was clearly foreshadowed, that’s not an asspull.

But the very end of this series, THAT was a definite asspull xD!

That was a big asspull, but it was a fun asspull, so I'd agree more with part 3. There was an explanation as to why it happened, but they didn't explain it well enough or at all in the show so it instead felt like it came out of nowhere

I'm not sure how you found that an asspull, Tanjirou didn't win the fight... the breath of the sun fits perfectly in with the story and writing.

Recent fight Luffy vs Katakuri is the ugliest asspull I ever seen. A really disgusting thing. I still question myself if I should drop this damn show already :D
And speaking of Deus ex Machina, I gotta mention Clannad. When the show is kinda boring and nonsensical and just goes nowhere, but it still needs to be somehow finished and creators just pull some random pseudo-emotional events right out of their asses. (Yeah, I know it's just a porn game adaptation and is made by notorious KyoAni, but man, it was incredibly lame)

Well, each stand has its distinct ability, and for some reason Jotaro's didn't have any. Until he acquired Za Warudo. Let's suppose that Jotaro's Za Warudo is just Star Platinum Act 2. Why it copied Dio's ability is another question. I guess it's just another "Araki forgot" and there had to be some adequate explanation

I think it was pretty obvious that I was taking abut the fact that Nanika lacks any weaknesses when I called her a Mary Sue archetype, and then there's the fact that Alluka is kinda of a Mary Sue (when taking about Morality).

If every random addition to a story was considered to be 'a part of the expanding world' asspulls wouldn't exist.

The fact that a character as powerful and limitless as Nanika was introduced right when Gon was about to die makes it an asspull objectively. If you understand what 'assull' means, there shouldn't even be any argument here.

This 'asspull' had already been debunked in a lot of comments throughout this thread.

Nurguburu said:

*Pain vs Naruto or Sasuke's fight with Deidara.





Doffy's insides were sliced up by Law's Gamma kinfe, Luffy was protected by Sabo, Gyats and all the fighters from the colloseum, and Doffy was finally defeated in the third fight, first with Law, then with Luffy and then Luffy again with King Kong gun. I don't see how Luffy vs Doffy was an asspull.

Pain vs Naruto isn't as asspull as much as it's bad writing. Naruto spends days mastering sage mode only to get thrashed by Pain and then he defeats him with the one solution to all his problems - Kurama.

Gon's powerup against Pitou from Hunter X Hunter. He pulled that one directly out of his anus and basically one shotted an enemy that's been hyped up for some 60 episodes until then.
To compare their difference in power, it would be like if Sasuke just killed Itachi with his Chidori during their first encounter in Naruto. But it's fine because he was really really REALLY angry. That stupid. Yes so many braindead fans will defend it as masterful writing. lol

I guess you didn't get it right. This power wasn't taken from nowhere. It is called a 'vow', similar to what Kurapika had made. And these vows always cost an equal payback. The price for what Gon had gotten was very high. Actually he was going to suffer and die after that (and would definitely die if there wasn't another asspull from Killua).

No no, I am not saying emiya shitro IN universe has asspulls. Like feitan did with that fuckin SUN! the very existence of shiro is an asspull, I mean he was literally pulled out of a burning ass out of nowhere at the end of fate zero by kiru. Everything and everyone else was burned to a crisp, but he survived.

ok lets T roll.

well, there was a precedent set with the vows. He used all his future potential to go supersaiyan. and then he nearly died and would be unable to use nen ever. so not much of an asspull.

what really turned out to be one was that stupid fucking in universe world breaking nanika that just senzu-beaned him right up to full power.

@Nemo_Niemand He's retarded, let him be. His reasoning is that of a whiny kid.

'sO wHy DoEsN'T EvERyONe jUsT dO ThAt'

Probably got spasm attacks when the fight didn't turn out like he wanted it to

He doesn't cary about the facts, refuses to acknowledge the rules behind Nen and the breakdown of what happened

Says enough he uses a comparison with another story where the power system is entirely different

At least he's not as obnoxious as Hryabmi who still has mental scars (literally admitted that)

BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thanks for the laugh I really needed one. But no, giving him a consequence for using the asspull doesn't make it not an asspull. Not to mention Killua's brother/sister/thing healed him right up with another hax power making the sacrifice worthless. Just lol.
And no a precedent was not set either. We saw people gaining power by setting restrictions on themselves. We've never seen anybody sacrifice future potential to pull that much power out of their ass nor was there ever any indication it could be done.
Lastly even if we did, it would still be a garbage mechanic for the universe to have since in that case everyone would be using it if you were about to die anyway. People would just be using armies of kamikaze fighters who would all be as strong as Pitou for a few minutes before dying.

I never said it was taken from nowhere, I am well aware that it was pulled directly from Gon's anus at the perfect time to defeat Pitou and I said as much.
I'm just repeating myself but adding a negative consequence for an asspull doesn't make it not an asspull. If Sasuke had one shotted Itachi back during Naruto and died right after, that would not make it any better. It's just trash writing.
At least other shounen like Bleach or Naruto let us know early on that the protagonist has a hollow/nine tailed fox inside of them which can grant them power so we can except this type of thing but in HxH, one second Gon is a little kid who Pitou can slap around effortlessly, next second he's all: "Lolz I can one shot you now because I sacrificed my nen or whatever because I can do that apparently." BRILLIANT writing guys! 11/10 BEST SHOW EVER!

No they wouldnt. I mean, FUTURE.

POTENTIAL!

Gon, son of Ging, direct descendant of Don Freecs.

Has the actual future potential to go Beyond the RG. I t would probably take a Netero like regimen to achive and about 50 years, but he could/would get there eventually. he just skipped the 50 year long process, and while at age I dunno 78, he would be in his peak and use such insane power without consequence, he basically got fried for using it now, when he wasnt ready. Literally what happens to deku in mha.

Your average idiot cant even use nen, and even among those that can, their levels are really low. so even if they pulled all their furute potential, they wouldnt stand a chance against pito, ever.

The fact that Gon did it, its because hes Gon Freecs. The MC, who obviously is meant to surpass the likes of netero and ging.

you know whats funny, they literally did this in fairytail too. And it got subnverted. IN FAIRYTAIL!!

Oh so Gon is just super DUPER special and that excuses him being able to one shot an enemy who's been shown to be insanely stronger than him. Totally not an asspull then.
I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse tbh. Haven't seen MHA or Fairly Tail yet so I can't comment on those but all the shounens I've seen have handled similar protagonist power ups MUCH better. There's usually tons of foreshadowing and they don't use it to defeat such a hyped up enemy that's been shown to be THAT much stronger than them.
Like in Naruto he goes Nine Tails mode against Orochimaru, fights him for a bit and Orochimaru just runs away leaving Naruto's team to deal with his rampage. Yea he got the power up but it just backfired. And when he used it against Pain, it really just helped him get out of his restraints and he still had to defeat Pain by himself. Not to mention the hundreds of episodes of foreshadowing that he had a fox and could get power from it. See that's a decent way to handle it. But Gon just pulls his power up out of his ass 100 episodes in to one shot his strongest enemy so far not counting Meruem.
Such a garbage piece of shit conclusion I can't even believe people are deluded enough to defend it.
Btw, if we're talking about potential then it doesn't matter whether the rando on the street can use nen or not. He has the POTENTIAL to learn it and maybe after 100 years of training they'd become super strong. Why the fuck not? Even if we assume that Gon is the only person in the world who can do this because the writer says so, it's still shit writing no matter how you slice it.

What? Thats not what the fire at the end of the 4th war did at all. The grail mud caused devastation and fire but if the mud didn't touch you it was definitely possible to survive. There were plenty of people who weren't just dead Shirou walking past them in the fire is big part of his trauma.

As expected majority of listed (if not all of them) are Shonen...

For me it's the entire Nanatsu no Taizai. Almost every major character has died several times but still came back... like how and why?

There's no debate about Fairy Tail, I liked it but that many asspuls are really ridiculous.

Carole and Tuesday - I looved it but have to admit Valeries decision in last episode looked alogical and forced.

Exactly!

Emiya Kiritsugu had absolutely no reason to stick the sheath of the excalibur in a random baby's ass at the end of zero. He didnt need to save an unknown lil shit. The only reason it worked out that way was bcz its a prequel and they tried to justify shitro with that.

I have more watch time than you so I've seen plenty of shows to compare it to and I'm not sure HxH would even be in my top 100. But both MHA and Fairly Tail are on my ptw so I'll get to them eventually. Right away I can see that they both at least have 1 female character in their main cast so there's a one up on on HxH it right there.

KuroudoAkabane said:

Yea great and he's the single WORST example. As I said earlier, other shows like Naruto or Bleach handled it much better because it's usually foreshadowed early on and it's not THIS much of a power up. Gon just did it out of nowhere in episode 130 (or close enough) with zero indication that he could do such a thing (No the fucking vow thing doesn't justify it because we've never seen anybody do anything CLOSE to this before) to one shot an enemy that's been hyped up for like 60 episodes. The single biggest asspull in anime history as the thread was asking for. Pointing me to another not nearly as bad asspull doesn't help your case at all.

You might as well be saying: "Well he can do this because the writer says so and that excuses it."
We could have instead had a fucking unicorn show up to one shot Pitou in exchange for Gon's left nuttsack and you'd be repeating that the HxH universe has unicorns that sometimes do this so it's not an asspull. And to foreshadow this, we would have seen a few horses standing around during the first 129 episodes.
That is literally what your argument sounds like to me. Even if I grant every single thing you're saying, we are left with shit writing that was foreshadowed but other shows have shit writing too so that makes it better. Brilliant case mate.

There were plenty of people who weren't just dead Shirou walking past them in the fire is big part of his trauma.
when the hell did that happen? its not shown in zero or fsn......

Even then Shriou was going to die Kerry saved him as he literally lay there dying and he could only do that by sticking a ridiculously powerful artifact in him.
Exactly!

Emiya Kiritsugu had absolutely no reason to stick the sheath of the excalibur in a random baby's ass at the end of zero. He didnt need to save an unknown lil shit. The only reason it worked out that way was bcz its a prequel and they tried to justify shitro with that.


Edit didn't see the first part: Well yeah it was shown in the fate route which doesn't have a proper adaptation. It was still shown in UBW a bit but Ufotable has been average to just bad at adapting stay night.

Did you decide to ignore the end of Zero? Kiritsugu was desperate to save someone, anyone. He justified a ridiculous amount of killing by saying that it would be worth it to save to world. His plan to do this just spat in his face. He thought he just caused the absolute disaster in front of him and had to save someone to retain his sanity. Shirou says when I looked up it felt like the man above me had been saved instead of me. How genuinely happy Kiritsugu looked after doing so, because of what I just said, is a big part of Shirous character. Also not sure what you mean by this is because it a prequel this scene is described in the VN.

Definitely SnK S3 P2, especially since it was so important an entire episode was devoted to it when it shouldn't have even happened in the first place

Also Pokemon had a lot of asspulls

Love Live as well although I can't remember too much about it though

I actually trust my knowledge and experience so much that I can GUARANTEE without a shadow of a doubt that whatever happens in MHA and Fairly Tail is not going to be as bad as this. Probably not even close. Otherwise I would have heard about it by now.
That right there is the problem.

Come back and say this after you watch the entirety of FairyTail.

I mean first of all you ignored everything I said that had nothing to do with the VN but I answered what you were saying about it happening because its a prequel. It clearly wasn't since it was in the source material. Also wut are you saying manga and other source material should be ignored? If you've got some kinda stigma against porn the remake without it has been out for 7 years. Anyways thats why Kerry saved Shirou which I'm still confused you missed it was very important part of the end of zero.

Surprised no one mentioned Aldnoah.Zero, it full of them. Probably no ones cares because the anime it's pretty shit even if you ignore the asspulls.

The most recent asspull I have seen is Dragon Ball Super and Goku infinite energy. It's so bad that it even becomes a meme in the show. Shockingly bad.

Yea sure let me watch all 326 episode real quick and get back to you. Foh. We both know that HxH scene was trash and Fairy Tail being worse wouldn't change that fact. You're just too blinded by fanboyism to acknowledge it.

@-michira- Well I think it makes sense, that's generally the genre that uses asspulls because of fights, power ups and other shit. I heard really bad shit about this season of Nanatsu no Taizai with censorship and the like.

Doffy's insides were sliced up by Law's Gamma kinfe, Luffy was protected by Sabo, Gyats and all the fighters from the colloseum, and Doffy was finally defeated in the third fight, first with Law, then with Luffy and then Luffy again with King Kong gun. I don't see how Luffy vs Doffy was an asspull.

Pain vs Naruto isn't as asspull as much as it's bad writing. Naruto spends days mastering sage mode only to get thrashed by Pain and then he defeats him with the one solution to all his problems - Kurama.


*talk no jutsu*********** That fight made a lot of sense tho, Nagato had the Rinnegan and Naruto hadn't got SO6P mode yet

I'm assuming 'made a lot of sense' is just sarcasm.

Abd what about Luffy vs Doffy?

then that's a very fine line of a difference

There's legit no believable reason how they were even alive at that moment, even the show itself (at least the anime part) didn't even bother to explain it.
