Current Events > which of these anime skills would be most useful in your personal life?

(+) Yeah! (+)

access to the alchemy one doesn't require the loss of your limbs. you just get it for free. but everything else is equivalent exchange.

You don't have a whole lot of ki with the dragonball one, but it's at least enough to fly and do small energy blasts.

You can create two additional clones with kage bunshin, and they last until dispelled or harmed. As with Naruto's clones, when they are dispelled, you gain their experiences. You do not have access to sexy jutsu or harem jutsu.

the death note works the same as in the series. ryuk follows you around.

Steal has a 100% activation chance, but failure means that the stolen item is the target's underwear.

The transformation pen transforms you into a pretty soldier. Despite looking the same, no one can recognize you for some reason. You gain the power of the celestial body of your choice.

I could probably do a whole lot of good with the Death Note.....but I'd also probably fuck up a lotta stuff by accident.

Whereas the real world doesn't have laws against transmuting gravel into gold.

Also why are your explanations not in the same order as the poll?

i wasn't originally going to explain each of the options.

You could do a lot of good with the death note by just using it a couple of times. Used correctly, you would save more lives than the few that have to die.

I mean, we are allowed to have mass murder weapons in the house, why not a tome that can as others said, do actual good in the world if used maybe 5 or so times? As the saying goes, you gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette.

which one lets me flash step? because that's the one I want

Shadow clones as they work in Naruto would make life so much easier. Extreme multitasking

Shadow Clones on their own would be great... But effectively multiplying your gained knowledge and experience with even just two clones would be so nice...

I've not watched Naruto, but I imagine Naruto is much more dedicated than your average CEman.

If I had shadow clones, I think that would just mean there were three of me sitting around doing nothing.

Clones would be massively helpful. You could send one out to work while you chill at home, have another do chores etc. Especially since these never disappear until you dispell them so them getting tired won't matter if they're around forever. Or, if you wanna abuse their experience transferring to you, just have one focus on hitting the gym and then dispell it and get all the gains. Have one study a new language, a new career etc. The possibilities are honestly crazy.

Can I make my clones go to work for me?

Shadow clones with no chakra requirement is OP

You can go to work as normal, and have the clones learn and prepare certain things

You can tag team any single task and learn how to do it 3x as fast

You can send the clones to work for you, hopefully it's not dangerous

I didnt know the Naruto one so I voted for alchemy. But clones would be more useful

Clones as the single best outcome. Every skill in life is just brute force practice, the clones allow you to cheat-code the entire system for any skill you desire, and because they're me they'd share the exact same interest in achieving the goals I want to achieve.

The Death Note is tempting for rather obvious reasons but lets be real here it 110% is corrupting whoever picks it up with no exceptions. It'll start with positive changes and then quickly slide into "but if I just killed this person while having them do Y thing the entire planet would be better off! Small sacrifice to pay!" territory, and then get increasingly petty as the person using it gets increasingly desensitized to the killing (which is definitely going to happen to everybody who picks the Death Note because humans are hardwired to get better at handling the mental toll of killing if they do it often enough.)

If there was an option for a mind control power that didn't kill the target I'd pick that but alas no Geass on the poll, so I'll stick with the self-improvement status buff.

Death Note - as long as you don't fall for the painfully obvious trap that Light fell into, you can't be caught.

You should try and remember how effective those dudes were and what exactly they needed to get them to work.

The funny thing is that the anime never argues this. People like to think Death Note is a series about absolute power corrupting absolutely....but it's really just about one specific asshole. Apparently Ryuk says most people who tried it immediately got rid of it and the few that didn't just used it for personal gain a few times.

No one else who uses one goes to the same batshit extent that Light does. The show is very specifically about Light being an historically monumental monster.

that's a huge contradiction though

i think the clones would be the most useful. send one to work, the other to the gym, play video games

Transmutation by a mile. Even with equivalent exchange, how helpful that would be with just every day shit is astounding, not to mention what you could do as you got better with it.

They can no longer used alchemy after the big bad of fullmetal alchemist was defeated.

I feel like y'all picking the death note would create more chaos and unintended consequences than you could ever imagine.

Don't forget, with the Death Note, if you use it even once, you're doomed to go to neither heaven nor hell for the rest of eternity.

Assuming we're going by the same rules of the Death Note universe, there's no Heaven or Hell for anyone

I was more just commenting on human nature tho. Even a good person who decides to use it will start with only the most evil people where a single targeted elimination would evoke the most immediate change, but would very quickly fall into the trap of wielding the power again and again as lesser evil people rise up and they gain knowledge of them.

Then there's the whole "you won't go to the afterlife if you use it even once" thing which is liable to lead someone to develop a God complex because they decided to sacrifice themselves for the species, every kill becoming just a sacrifice to them until they end up the sort of person who'd go on long-winded rants about how much they're giving up for the world.

That's not even getting in to how it'd likely backfire long term. Say a person picks it up and decides to start eliminating certain brackets of people at the top of society. How long is it before that group realizes something supernatural is picking them off and they simply go into hiding, running the world from the unseen shadows and completely nullifying the Death Note? And with the rise of AI the odds of at least one brutal dictator/oligarch plugging the question into an AI and the AI pointing them to Death Note (and thus a detailed rundown of your abilities) gets higher and higher as well.

The world's on a bad path but I just don't see the Death Note working out. It'll kill the "person" who chooses to wield it as surely as if they'd written their own name in it via corrupting them utterly, and long term the world will adapt in ways that leave it worse off.

The Shadow Clone Jutsu would be the most useful and practical, especially for learning stuff.

And yes, I'm also one of those psychos who would use the Death Note if I had one.

Its said that nobody goes to either anyway, so it makes no difference whether you use it or not.

I mean, I half-expect to just stop existing period after I die, anyway.

@HighSeraph
@ImAMarvel

I wouldn't risk it. If they take any kind of bump, they'll disappear. This is risky for more important tasks such as work, cooking, or watching a baby.

I'll take Transmutation.

If I was younger I would take the shadow clones, hopefully they can be used as many times as you want and not just once.

But being that i don't think I have that long left to go, I take the death note so I can have someone cool to hang out with for a bit, and possibly pick how I die when I am ready.

know what would be a scumbag thing to do with clones? go on two dates at once and if one's boring, the clone just poofs out of existence.

Honestly, I'm surprised Death Note isn't winning this poll.

Defense of another is generally an accepted defense to murder.

Holy cow at that people considering the Death Note even in this hypothetical.
I'm going to go with ki control like in Dragon Ball. If it works like in the series, even at a modest level, it would be enough to sustain oneself as an elite athlete.

Accolon posted...

God, they really shouldn't have omitted that scene from the anime. Towards the end of the series it flashes back to a scene shortly after Light meets Ryuk, where he figured out pretty early that the "no heaven or hell" thing was a joke rule, and that there's no afterlife for anyone in that world.

Kage bunshin sounds cool, but us normies don't have the stamina to make it a safe prospect.

EpicMickeyDrew posted...

@

Murder is a specific type of crime. You can't, for example, have committed murdered if it is ruled that you justifiably killed someone in the name of defense. Do you mean to ask if they believe it's okay to kill someone?

I ask if you believe there is never a reason to kill someone.

I assume they felt the last eyecatches of the anime where they mention these two rules of the Death Note were enough.

Death Note.

Do the shadow clones *poof* if they get hit, like in Naruto?

Imagine you send one to work, and someone slaps you on the back, and you disappear in a cloud of smoke. Just to return the next day like nothing happened.
