| For me personally it has to be one moment from Naruto Shippuden |
| Whenever the character that doing the asspull is my favorite character. EDIT: More like, why my character had to asspull their way out, such blasphemy! I'd hate it, but in the end I'd still love the character still. Not sure if that make sense lmao. |

| To be honest, nearly everything that people call asspulls are things I'm okay with. The way Giorno beats the big bad in JoJo Part 5, the final episode of Soul Eater or N psychically knowing the correct answers in Death Note. They're all executed well and the emotions hit their mark so I'm not really bothered if they're "asspulls." |
| Basically Fairy Tail's entire story The entire thing is asspull after asspull but I can't help thinking it was fun to watch |
| Anything from YGO because the story are designed to be working that way. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Most asspulls do not hinder my enjoyment of the show. Its just that most shows i enjoy, that got a new asspull every other episode, are shows i would not call good, enjoyable yes but not good or well written. That said i can forgive asspulls if the show still remains fun to watch, but not if it actually wants to be taken serious or have a realistic approach in their world. That only happens when said asspull is so huge it completely gets me out of the world i am so invested in, wich rarely ever happens. |

| Joseph Joestar is a walking asspull.The way he defeated Kars was the biggest asspull of the series but I love Joseph.If you ignore the asspulls in JoJo you are in one hell of a ride. |
| JoJos is like the king of enjoyable asspulls. |

| When Luffy defeated Lucci in One Piece, I mean, Lucci is an experienced marine who trained all his life for combat and Luffy is just a young pirate. But I was surely happy when Luffy kicked that bastard, too bad he didn't die, but that' OP for you |

| Each part of Jojo has lots of asspulls. And you can't even dislike it. They don't bother you at all. Because it's the genre's distinctive feature (gar genre, I mean) |
 |
| Most of the time what people call an "asspull" doesn't bother me too much. I think people put far too much emphasis on the logic of stories instead of the themes and meaning behind the events and the emotion involved in the character's journey. The most common is "dude somehow becomes more powerful than he has been before and overcomes an impossible situation". Usually the reason given or implied is that the character reached within himself and... I guess just "tried really hard", which is a simple and silly way of putting it (kind of lazy of me for not spending a minute to think of a better way too lol), but the meaning/theme here is that people can achieve things if they have enough will and really try their hardest. The character doing something miraculous is not like reality of course, but this is fiction. The exciting, unreal aspect of them literally doing the impossible just through sheer will what makes it exciting. Or rather, that's what should make it exciting. I'm kiiiind of playing devil's advocate here because the vast majority of action anime / battle shounen -type stuff where this kind of trope is used aren't really my thing. |

| 7 deadly sins is pretty much all Asspulls. It's asspull the show. Feels like it would be pointless to be upset considering the whole show is made entirely up of random asspull power scaling and abilities that are often never seen again. |

| I don't hate asspulls, from time to time i've grown to love them. |
| Fairy Tail is full of asspulls but it's hard to hate it completely when you're so invested in the world and characters |
Vazka said: CheyneGreene said: Luffy's been training since he was a kid though and has had plenty of fight experience with Ace and etc. Fighting the same person over and over as a kid shouldn't make him stronger than people with decades of experience. In defence of One Piece, Ace was actually one of the strongest character in One piece, so obviously Luffy had to profit. Also it's not like Luffy wasn't on his level. He had less experience in fighting than Lucci, but Luffy is about as strong as he is. |

| Sasuke somehow summoning Manda and putting it under a genjutsu to avoid dying in the epicentre of a nuke all in under half a second. I mean, talk about asspuls this is some India Jones refrigerator level shit. But the rest of the Deidara fight was just so good I can't hate it. |
 She smiled sweeter than Crème Brûlée |
| The entirety of 4th Great Ninja War Arc was one giant asspull and I didn't mind it even for a second. |
| It completely depends on the tone of the show, Symphogear makes their asspulls fun for example but anything that takes itself remotely seriously is a big yikes. |
| In Legend of the Galactic Heroes, there were definitely a lot of moments that felt like some side won for the purpose of plot or to make sure a certain character would or would not die, but I never felt like it was ridiculous enough to hate it. It happened enough to not give it a 10/10 (along with other issues) but I never hated the “asspulls Another example is all the asspulls throughout the JoJo series but they are usually so ridiculous that it becomes funny. Honestly they probably actually add to the charm of JoJo. It’s wouldn’t be JoJos without an expertly timed and ridiculous asspull. |

| On the topic of Naruto, Madara being able to just do everything ever was definitely an asspull, such as , but I didn't mind, because he's a total badass. |

| Usually calling something an asspull is an attempt of pulling criticism out of your ass. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| Asspulls are basically a special instance of plot hole, the one that relates to a character's power or abilities. When something unexplainable by the established narrative occurs. As long as it isn't integral to the plot I needn't concern myself over it, many times you even miss that an asspull occurred, if one isn't careful. |

zacisaweeb said: “So it’s the same type of stand as Star Platinum” THANKS I HATE IT JoJos is filled with asspulls but I usually don’t mind, as long as corresponds with character development, is really funny (battle Tendancy... tommy gun) or is just Araki working his weird suspension of disbelief magic... The end of battle Tendancy is a good asspull, because dumb solutions to serious problems are sprinkled through the arc. It makes sense for it to end that way. SDC not so much, kinda made the whole final battle less enjoyable >:( |

Catalano said: Since I'm a One Piece connoisseur, lemme debunk that real quick.When Luffy defeated Lucci in One Piece, I mean, Lucci is an experienced marine who trained all his life for combat and Luffy is just a young pirate. But I was surely happy when Luffy kicked that bastard, too bad he didn't die, but that' OP for you Lucci was ruthless but he wasn't as strong as he thought he was back in Enies Lobby. The main reason of such thing is that he never learned Haki and he didn't have too much time to train on that. The reason why he never learned haki is because it would have required much more time whereas Rokushiki wouldn't. Also, Luffy's durability is the reason why he lost. Lucci probably would never have imagined suffering in that state of pain since you know, he is very arrogant and his own arrogance has cost a lot.

TheFirmSword said: Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood ending the way Ed gets back Al's body. Why would that qualify as an asspull? He got what he want by making an equivalent exchange. It didn't come with no cost, and it was consistent with the show's own internal rules. |
| @Damerino if we're talking haki we get the God Enel problem, for he used haki (mantra), I know Luffy was rubber but still, Luffy only gave Enel a hard punch and game over. Since when durability was Luffy's trait? we found out there. Well, picking on it isn't my style, if you debunk the fights you get inconsistencies, like I said, I enjoyed Luffy beating that mothefvcker |

He used a few times to dodge some attacks and he pretty much gave up in that since he was pretty confident on his power and was really pissed off that the fight was dragging for far too long. Enel is the epitome of arrogance, to be honest. He's probably the number one in the One Piece world. That's because he had never met people who can give him a run for his money. |

Still, Lucci was pretty experienced, we know Luffy trained in the past, but both had a devil fruit power, i still think it was an asspull |

| No, in example, Madara's death in naruto was something that discouraged me to finish the series forever. they ruined an entire series in 1 episode xd |
