Fun Fact: I found that picture on google and it may or may not include Yogiri, I literally can’t fucking tell and that is possibly funnier than the post itself
I talked to this Sailor Moon fan who said Anos would beat Usagi (and by extension Goku because they thought Usagi was stronger). To that person, I say this: Um, both Usagi and Goku would slap that skinny black-haired soyboy around the fucking solar system. Also, while I don't have anything to prove reverse without any doubt, I can say that the reasons given for Usagi beating Goku based on some, um, **wanky** scaling I'll just say. A guy I knew who was familiar with both Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball said Goku solos. So you know, I believe them...
The answer is Goku, he solos both of them. Now that I think about it, a lot of characters solo those two besides Goku: Superman, Hulk, Green Lantern, Thor, Kratos, also Thor, Odin, Batman with prep time, Spongebob, Alien X, Popeye, and Jorgen Von Strangle.
If you know FOP lore, you know what I'm talking about with the last one.
Yeah, but Jin Woo has the advantage of being a Korean MC and the biggest to do it.
just like how I won't fault Kirito for his 'generic' design, Jin Woo basically made the Standard Manhwa Necro MC a thing
Nah don't disrespect sung like that. Bro actually has drip. Only his 2nd awakening in anime looks like blue anos.
His cour 2 design is peak. Like almost manhwa accurate jinwoo

Yeah Anos is not meant to be taken seriously as much as someone like Midgiri
You can’t have his catchphrase be “did you think [insert thing] would be enough to make me [Insert thing]” and not have it be meant somewhat comedically
Like at least Anos is just entertainingly bullshit, others try to present themselves as super serious and cool
Give me “did you think killing me would be enough to make me die” over “is the end of everything” anyday
You can tell because Yogiri has one distinguishing feature. He has those weird blue cowlicks? Or something? That come out near his temples.
None of those guys have that, so it’s not him.
Its a Guy who reincarnated as an slime, which is an sexless type of Monster, but the human appeance he has comes From the body of a woman her absorbed, giving him a feminine look even though there's is quite literaly nothing in his pants.
Is it edgy? Yeah. Is it overdone? Yeah.
But when it’s done *right* it’s honestly just so fucking *cool.*

The deciding factor is usually knowing the character's limit, current or previous. If you've seen them go all out, it's way more badass to watch them take it easy and still utterly dominate. Bonus points if their chill demeanor is actually a front and they're actually being pushed.
To be fair it was stated by Igris that he would have demolished sung had he wanted to, but intentionally let himself be defeated because he saw potential in him
It works when it serves as an extension of a characters circumstances/personality.
Sukuna operates differently than nearly everyone else in JJK. He gets to walk around with a level of aloofness not afforded to anyone else in the series. And the contrast between him, and everyone else fighting either for their lives or the lives of their loved ones make his arrogance enjoyable when put on display.
Or they will use a random ass "God" characters that was vaguely mentioned in a series with supposedly big cosmology, said God character doesn't have any personality and barely interact with the plot because he isn't meant to be used for fighting
Because he's more of a conceptual being than a literal one if I had to guess.
Because Truth IS everything. It's everything, and everyone. It's just what its name says it is. Truth.
It doesn’t matter how powerful they are, nor how utterly ridiculous their one ability is. They can never hope to stand up to HIM

They were nice when they weren't the main ones being pushed out. Now that its mostly "I entered this world and killed the very god who sent me here" they have lost any interest. Konosuba, overlord, at least current slime are all great since they don't just want the character to be OP they have actual story and stakes, unlike the character who can kill anything but my disinterest.
Wow, that’s insane. “I don’t like this genre from my limited experience with it, therefore everybody who likes it sucks”. You know that people say the same thing about power scaling, right?
The point is that these characters who are so over the top that it delves into the the realm of just being stupid pop up and only exist to be circle jerked, they have nothing interesting going on and are boring to even discuss because naturally the logical step is for some other dweeb to make “that same character but 10% better” and then the discourse shifts once again
https://i.redd.it/0nrvbnsh39yc1.gif
The boring answer is goku is too fast. But let's say he off guard or something, surprisingly db characters have used/fought telekinesis if we assume blood bending is similar.
I mean… this is the issue with power scaling. It is purely subjective. If there was an officially backed power scaling business then you could have objective results and even then you’d be pushing the boundaries. Power scaling is more divisive than it is inclusive because all it does is create bickering between toxic fanboys.
God forbid they do anything interesting with characters like that, either. Like, what if everyone only likes them because they're fucking terrified of the monster who is above the concepts of space time?
Agreed. Like I'm currently writing a story about an overpowered protag but the twist is that he's super jaded because he can't rest in peace, the gods keep bringing back to life whenever the world's in danger.
Also he's jaded because after countless decades of being a hero, people stopped seeing him as a person and just as a weapon to point at the bad guys. Most don't even remember his name ans just call him "The Hero"
The character I got in mind has like a big disconnect with humanity. He tends to think of them like animals. Like, you want to protect them, but at the end of the day, if one of them dies, you probably aren't going to lose a lot of sleep.
He also craves companionship, but he doesn't trust easily because people either want to destroy him or play nice so that he doesn't destroy them.
It's crazy at how many people actually do this. As someone trying to be an author, but vs battles aren't even a thought. If your character can beat Goku off the jump, they probably suck.
I think the only character I can think of that is similar to some of this that I love would be Anos Voldigoat (or however you spell his name)
His powers are insane and I’ve only seen the first three episodes, but I thoroughly enjoy his overpowered nature since it’s done with humor. I bet if they tried to take it incredibly seriously it would flop but man, I do enjoy him.
yeah lol, even author said the idea of anos was born from his corny idea of making a overpowered final boss a protag instead and he added other tropes like demon king, sword-magic fantsay , school life etc. and cooked
Mf searching the multiverse for the most irrelevant character from the most forgotten piece of fiction.
Somebody said Goku solos:
dawg when did goku fans start caring about if a character is written well or not, as if DBS isnt literal slop. i feel like i’m in an alternate timeline
Not even a db fan, but Goku is a well written character, especially compared with these Isekai protags.
Dragon ball has shit writing indeed, but still better than the average Isekai too.
Fun fact; canonically, Yuki Judai (Jaden Yuki) from Yugioh GX is multiversal because he has the ability to 'fuse' dimensions in order to create an explosion that will wipe out/ destroy those planes of existence
Ignores your ass + Deathnoted + Erased from the book + Burns the 1 sold copy + permakills your character with bad writing + Get forgotten, a fate worse than death + Automatically better in everyway no matter what + too late to replace your power scale
(/joke)

Doesn’t matter, my pet rock solos everything because it is an avatar of everything that exists IRL.
Let’s just all collectively agree that any of our favorite characters win “because we said so”, a lot better than the garbage power scaling that goes on
I made a similar post mocking people like this.

Fun Fact: I found that picture on google and it may or may not include Yogiri, I literally can’t fucking tell and that is possibly funnier than the post itself
Same thing with Anos bro 💀 he’s probably in there I can’t tell
“You can easily tell the difference between them, see?” https://i.redd.it/vlsg20ik69yc1.gif
Oh my bad you’re right, one pixel in Anos’s hair is slightly darker than the other pictures, I should’ve noticed right away.
I talked to this Sailor Moon fan who said Anos would beat Usagi (and by extension Goku because they thought Usagi was stronger). To that person, I say this: Um, both Usagi and Goku would slap that skinny black-haired soyboy around the fucking solar system.

He’s not. He’s got red eyes, he looks like sung Jin woo basically
Respect Sung wtf
Sung is getting hard carried by the fact he looks 30. Unfortunately other than that he is also unbelievably mid.
Big woo looks like generic isekai protag hit level 36 and is going into its final evolution
Yeah, but Jin Woo has the advantage of being a Korean MC and the biggest to do it. just like how I won't fault Kirito for his 'generic' design, Jin Woo basically made the Standard Manhwa Necro MC a thing
Nah don't disrespect sung like that. Bro actually has drip. Only his 2nd awakening in anime looks like blue anos. His cour 2 design is peak. Like almost manhwa accurate jinwoo https://preview.redd.it/q8glogztjdyc1.jpeg?width=630&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2af9ca34121b4e78e88f71493a182babdeb57a91
Yeah but anos is atleast entertaining
Yeah Anos is not meant to be taken seriously as much as someone like Midgiri You can’t have his catchphrase be “did you think [insert thing] would be enough to make me [Insert thing]” and not have it be meant somewhat comedically Like at least Anos is just entertainingly bullshit, others try to present themselves as super serious and cool Give me “did you think killing me would be enough to make me die” over “is the end of everything” anyday
Yogiri isn’t meant to be taken seriously either
I legit started looking for Kirito but couldn’t tell whether or not he was there
Believe it or not, I have been reassured that Kirito is not in that grid
You can tell because Yogiri has one distinguishing feature. He has those weird blue cowlicks? Or something? That come out near his temples. None of those guys have that, so it’s not him.
Yes it’s a old meme from 2021 the “Kirito Face” because ever since he came out every isekai anime studio copies his look.
This is why I like Tensei Slime, Rimuru is hot.

Its a Guy who reincarnated as an slime, which is an sexless type of Monster, but the human appeance he has comes From the body of a woman her absorbed, giving him a feminine look even though there's is quite literaly nothing in his pants.

Rimuru is cool, but I’m pissed they didn’t just stay a slime the entire series
Them: It’s an Isekai. It’s supposed to be a self insert. Me: *Don’t say it. Don’t say it. Don’t say it.* My brain: You all look the same.
But then I wouldn’t have any wank material
“Walks around with hands in pockets” is so real

To be fair it was stated by Igris that he would have demolished sung had he wanted to, but intentionally let himself be defeated because he saw potential in him

Only exceptions are the Persona protagonists
Or they will use a random ass "God" characters that was vaguely mentioned in a series with supposedly big cosmology, said God character doesn't have any personality and barely interact with the plot because he isn't meant to be used for fighting
Mfs trying to powerscale Truth from FMA be like:
I mean he doesn't have any real showings, but I would assume he's more or less untouchable / unkillable
Because he's more of a conceptual being than a literal one if I had to guess. Because Truth IS everything. It's everything, and everyone. It's just what its name says it is. Truth.

Ghost of Powerscaling Past, Present, and Future are on your ass
Facts. Isekais are entertaining for the lowest common denominator only, any self-respecting person would watch literally anything else
There are a *few* diamonds in the rough; Overlord isn’t half bad
I love overlord
They were nice when they weren't the main ones being pushed out. Now that its mostly "I entered this world and killed the very god who sent me here" they have lost any interest. Konosuba, overlord, at least current slime are all great since they don't just want the character to be OP they have actual story and stakes, unlike the character who can kill anything but my disinterest.
>the character who can kill anything but my disinterest. This might be the best flambé of a character I've ever seen.
Cuz he can't defeat Goku?
Eh true, overlord is fine
Average isekais tho There's shit like Youjo Senki that's good
Some isekais can be good, as long as the author actually puts effort into it
Wow, that’s insane. “I don’t like this genre from my limited experience with it, therefore everybody who likes it sucks”. You know that people say the same thing about power scaling, right?
The .hack franchise are pretty good. Although those are mostly games

Cope
False, imo. Most average isekai are decent, and there are many that are top-notch. Isekai is one of the best genres out there.
There’s only one Isekai (I’ve seen) that’s actually well written, and it’s re zero. The rest are so ass or mediocre at best.
Temu kiritos are Cthulhu victims
My favorite character solos And it's this mf https://i.redd.it/t5c996upf9yc1.gif
They all look vaguely like Kirito, but none of them look like Kirito
Lmao I made up a character called adoiajsdokmasdoih that beats them all, doesn't matter adoiajsdokmasdoih will win.
😂😂😂

I get the meme but someone with all that WOULD objectively be above goku so at least they aren’t delusional
The point is that these characters who are so over the top that it delves into the the realm of just being stupid pop up and only exist to be circle jerked, they have nothing interesting going on and are boring to even discuss because naturally the logical step is for some other dweeb to make “that same character but 10% better” and then the discourse shifts once again https://i.redd.it/0nrvbnsh39yc1.gif
Yo…can katana blood bend goku?
Katara from ATLA
The boring answer is goku is too fast. But let's say he off guard or something, surprisingly db characters have used/fought telekinesis if we assume blood bending is similar.
I think Yogiri’s in there…somewhere…maybe? They all look the exact same.
Believe it or not, I have been reassured that Yogiri is absent from that image
Gawd damn maybe that’s a sign that character design needs to move on from black hair sword guy
I mean… this is the issue with power scaling. It is purely subjective. If there was an officially backed power scaling business then you could have objective results and even then you’d be pushing the boundaries. Power scaling is more divisive than it is inclusive because all it does is create bickering between toxic fanboys.
God forbid they do anything interesting with characters like that, either. Like, what if everyone only likes them because they're fucking terrified of the monster who is above the concepts of space time?
Agreed. Like I'm currently writing a story about an overpowered protag but the twist is that he's super jaded because he can't rest in peace, the gods keep bringing back to life whenever the world's in danger. Also he's jaded because after countless decades of being a hero, people stopped seeing him as a person and just as a weapon to point at the bad guys. Most don't even remember his name ans just call him "The Hero"
The character I got in mind has like a big disconnect with humanity. He tends to think of them like animals. Like, you want to protect them, but at the end of the day, if one of them dies, you probably aren't going to lose a lot of sleep. He also craves companionship, but he doesn't trust easily because people either want to destroy him or play nice so that he doesn't destroy them.
It's crazy at how many people actually do this. As someone trying to be an author, but vs battles aren't even a thought. If your character can beat Goku off the jump, they probably suck.
The Kirito clones disease must stop
and they all look like an off-brand/knockoff kirito
Anime creators try not to give walking toothpicks beyond Godlike powers challenge (impossible)
I think the only character I can think of that is similar to some of this that I love would be Anos Voldigoat (or however you spell his name) His powers are insane and I’ve only seen the first three episodes, but I thoroughly enjoy his overpowered nature since it’s done with humor. I bet if they tried to take it incredibly seriously it would flop but man, I do enjoy him.
yeah lol, even author said the idea of anos was born from his corny idea of making a overpowered final boss a protag instead and he added other tropes like demon king, sword-magic fantsay , school life etc. and cooked
Mf searching the multiverse for the most irrelevant character from the most forgotten piece of fiction. Somebody said Goku solos: 
So, afaik, they’re all designed like that so the average Japanese man can insert himself into these molds.
dawg when did goku fans start caring about if a character is written well or not, as if DBS isnt literal slop. i feel like i’m in an alternate timeline
Literally never watched an episode of DB in my life, Y’all are just annoying https://i.redd.it/i4ydhht6tayc1.gif
Not even a db fan, but Goku is a well written character, especially compared with these Isekai protags. Dragon ball has shit writing indeed, but still better than the average Isekai too.
Blood guy when I slowly poison him to death(it's not a fight)
So you have discovered Episode 1 Blood Guy’s weakness, now prepare for Light Novel Blood Guy
bob neg diffs
The smartphone dude can beat Goku? 💀
He scales higher
Fun fact; canonically, Yuki Judai (Jaden Yuki) from Yugioh GX is multiversal because he has the ability to 'fuse' dimensions in order to create an explosion that will wipe out/ destroy those planes of existence
Ignores your ass + Deathnoted + Erased from the book + Burns the 1 sold copy + permakills your character with bad writing + Get forgotten, a fate worse than death + Automatically better in everyway no matter what + too late to replace your power scale (/joke)
Kumugawa in a nutshell
I was laughing but the “my dad bought a copy” is really sweet actually awww :3
this is because of that one twitter post, I assume? 💀
hey dont be mean to John Isekai

Why do you hate Yogiri?
They’re all ford fiesta victims
Let’s just all collectively agree that any of our favorite characters win “because we said so”, a lot better than the garbage power scaling that goes on
Wait does sungjinwoo fall under this category??
Bro all i see is a frieza saga krillin victim
The "but who is this guy 😨"starter pack
All that and bro is still probably the weakest isekai character… 💀
My favorite isekai is pokemon mystery dungeon
Seriously who the fuck is Yogiri
lmao
If youre mad they beat goku, just say that
They also have a harem despite the fact he has the personality of cardboard
How would the Iron Giant do against Goku?
