Current Events > I tried Demon Slayer but I don't think I can get past...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...the fact that their explanation for human superpowers is just breathing the right way. I need some kinda handwave here. Give me chi or spiritual guidance or something, not a lamaze class.

isn't that basically hamon from the first two parts of Jojo

The special effects aren't real.

what about the part where the 6 year old gets an "adult" form with some D cups and all that

No, I know that's just for visual effect which is also kind of dumb.

But they say that breathing right lets you match strength with a superpowered demon which is dumb.

I only watched like eight(?) episodes? The episode I'm on now has the girl with the superball and the guy with the arrows.

I mean, functionally, what's the difference? There's always some bullshit secret technique to unlocking human potential. It's like those stories where people invent drugs to let you use "more than 10 percent of your brain" lol.

What about fire force and how throwing up gang signs lets you control fire better?

It's mostly that they keep talking about it. If it was just something they said in training and then rarely brought it up, it'd be different.

i never got why people where confused by this. The 16 year old demon girl regularly ages herself down to look like a kid for convenience sake. Decided to age her self up to fight

Oh, are ya'll talking about Nezuko? I figured she was like sixteen or something, not six. She just seems younger because she's dumb.

He probably doesn't actually watch the show

Nezuko shrinks herself down to be like 3 feet tall and look like an 8 year old (or whatever age the below pic is) so she can be carried around in a backpack sized box all day = I sleep

Grows and gets boobs = real shit

He showed up at the very end of the episode I just watched.

The show is really, really dumb. But it has some cool fight scenes.

The breathing thing is the phleb, same as chi or chakra or whatever, i don't see the issue

Nezuko is 12, not 16.

12

Nezuko is 14, Tanjiro is 15

First ep she is 12.

By the end is she will be 14.

Thought you were a fan?

Yeah as a person with eyes and a functioning brain, I also remember MC training for 2 years in episode 3 so let's do some complicated math right now. @WingsOfGood what is

12 + 2

and

13 + 2

Don't struggle too hard

he's wingsofgood, not brainsofuse

Tbf, Nezuko is a demon and doesn't age, so her natural form would still be twelve. And it doesn't even really have the "ackchyually shes a 500 year old demon" excuse because she's real dumb.

Chi and chakra at least has some mumbo jumbu backing it up, Tanjiro just breathes reel good.

Yeah I'm not arguing what her default form is. Point is (like gamepimp says) is that she ages herself up and down almost everytime she makes an appearance.

Big baddie ages himself all over the place too to look like MJ or a kid on top of turning himself into a woman for ??? reason. So freaking over Nezuko aging herself up a few years still makes me wonder if whoever complains about that actually watches the show

Same person and the pics are in reverse order of appearance. Nezuko aging herself up happens after this during a fight where she is fighting someone who became a demon at 13 a hundred years ago who definitely does not walk around as a 13 or 113 year old

Basically, yeah. Both involve folks using fancy breathing to get the power needed to defeat sunlight weak enemies.

lol TC you've got to watch Jojo

Btw unlocking chi is all about breathing.

Is this post a Jojo reference?

There are no superpowers. All the effects are in their heads.

Old dude literally says that the breathing technique gives them super strength comparable to demons.
