    Sarutobi Hiruzen was probably a good teacher with systematic drilling, look at Jiraiya. But Jiraiya is an idiot so he didn't adapt to having a genius as a student. So Minato learned everything on his own. He expected the same from Kakashi, and it was wartime, so Kakashi learned on the go. And this is why Kakashi doesn't know how to teach kids, because Jiraiya is an idiot.

    Come to think of it, the Danmachi and Hunter x Hunter settings are pretty great for this type of growth and powers synergy story

    The Boys is good but has a problem that it doesn't really have anything to build plot out of outside of stations of canon, but Batman, hm... tbh I haven't had much goodwill for DCU; never liked Young Justice, recent movies were mid... lacking something, idk

    I kinda wanna do one of those "several versions of yourself isekaied at the same time" type story because they seem so fun in how they, you know, overlap each other's advantages and disadvantages together for a common goal, which is so neat

    I found two of these "disgustingly hypocritical, betraying family and friends" type male protagonists, in Wuxia, like Yi Xiaochuan and Linghu Chong, but you know, even so, they're not as bad as the "oblivious yet maintaining a harem with only redeeming quality being seemingly kind" type in manga, you know, like DXD or Strike the Blood...

    ... so many unsatisfactory protagonists

    uhhh Linghu Chong is from a classic wuxia on the level of, idk, LOTR, I guess, but in the wuxia genre, anyway, so he helps rapists, betrays the people who raised him, professes one true love to multiple girls, causes his own teacher to self-neuter because Linghu Chong is unwilling to help that teacher by teaching him a skill that belonged to their own school of martial arts

    but you know, for all the awful shit they do, I still feel like they're better than Hyodo Issei or Akatsuki Kojo or Kusanagi Godo... who seem like they're copy-pasted each other... but well, IDK why? Some instinctual latent disgust? Hmm

    Apparently, there's a saying that "Wuxia cannot be without Mrs Guo (Huang Rong), just like the West cannot be without Jerusalem, and 3D cannot be without Tifa, and Japan cannot be without AV"

    If you think about it, if you have the power to phase through things, hide in shadows, invisibility, then you could act like a ghost
    d.fish
    A nickname for ghosts is "a piao", you know the "a" is what's put on most nicknames, just like how "-chan" is used in japanese, but the "piao" is "floating", so it's sort of like when you say "oh, and there's an a piao", it's like you're saying "oh, and there's a floatie" or something like that, but it's never really translated well directly, it's hard to find an equivalent

    in truth, Daluo Jinxian is just something made up by people on the internet trying to do power levels, they're just orthodox immortals, whereas Taiyi Jinxian are just unorthodox, and Dajue Jinxian are buddhist, and they're all just kinda parallel in power in mythology

    However, "Demeter" isn't as good as "Ceres", after all, one sounds like "the meter", and that doesn't sound like a good thing at all, and the other sounds like a cute girl, despite her being a mommy milky

    I don't understand why everyone says "Fuck irodori and fakku" but the nature of humanity is to repeat what other people say, so I'll say it too

    you can check out the series 猎冰, which is more breaking bad than breaking bad

    mainly because apparently the protagonist is based off of a real person, like that dude actually exists apparently

    Yeah, the guy is a real person, only went to middle school, self-taught chemistry, became a chem teacher, had these weird nationalistic principles of "let's sell to the foreigners only to avenge the opium wars", only was caught because some underlings wanted to make some quick cash and stole some goods and sold domestically

    had a wife and three kids who didn't know anything, but also had a mistress on the side who helped him with stuff, no "Jessie" though, was moving like 12 tons a day or something, the show is basically just recreating what actually happened, but you know, it's pretty good

    madara's fire extinguish whatever giant wave jutsu seems deadly, but it's a momentary thing, because you know, it's just a spray of fire, right, but if it was like, water or earth, I think that would be far more devastating, I mean, like, even after the move is used, you'd still have your 200 meter wide 50 meter tall tsunami wave fucking over everything

    For example, there was that one tribulation where an arhat went to test a meritorious king, but he kept taking the donations from people who needed it, so the king tossed him out and soaked him in a river for 3 days, so the arhat sent a famine to the kingdom, and his pet lion went and killed the king, transformed into the king, and fucked the king's wife while the king's corpse soaked in a pond for 3 years

    If you think about it, Journey to the West is kinda like Grimm's fairy tales, you know, with how brutal and bloody the originals are compared to adaptions

    I mean, that wasn't the only thing censored, right?

    Tripitaka got killed and eaten by Sandy nine times in nine previous reincarnations, and Sandy tied those nine skulls into a necklace around his neck, right?

    But in the cartoons or the shows, you only see like, you know, beads or some shit
