So who are your top deuteragonists/tritagonists in manga and/or anime? Mine are, in order: Lavi (D.Gray Man) Armin Arlert (Attack on Titan) Matsuno Chifuyu (Tokyo Revengers) Roronoa Zoro (One Piece) Accelerator (A Certain Magical Index) Hyuse (World Trigger) Karma Akabane (Assassination...

Reviving this cos World Trigger anime is trash in Season 1, which is like... 90% of the content. But manga is actually interesting. Anyhow... just something for fun:

Yeah, that's why I specified Season 1. Fairy Tail later on gets kinda insane with the powercreep.

Hyuse from World Trigger ends up in Season 1 Fairy Tail and has to fight a gauntlet: Jet Macao Elfman Lucy Gray Natsu Ichiya Gajeel Erza Laxus How far does he go? Assume that everybody is in character, has no prior knowledge of opponent's abilities, and the fight is to the knockout. Stage is...

World Trigger. It is easily better than say Fairy Tail, and definitely on the level of something like D.Gray Man or One Piece. Yet I don't get the impression it is very popular, at least in the West.

To be fair, it was IIRC Luffy himself who said that G5 is his peak. But yes, it makes absolutely ZERO sense, logically or thematically, for Luffy to get another gear. What he will get are new Haki powers and further refinements to G5.

Exactly. It turns on full Toon Physics mode, and there are no limitations. No limitations = no creativity to get around said limitations. It is exactly the problem introduction of Haki caused, except Haki was kinda necessary to explain how a fist-only fighter like Garp could be a powerhouse in a...

This is possible, but if it happens, it won't be a new gear. 4 means "death" in Japanese. Gear 5 is thus something like "rebirth", "resurrection"... in keeping with Luffy being a Jesus-like figure. Remember, he unlocked Gear 5 by dying and then being revived by his fruit. Gear 5 is his...

Bloody hell, people. Roger here doesn't even have his moustache yet. How could he have even approached the peak of his power without it? This is like comparing Luffy from Arlong Park and concluding he's a fraud because he nearly died beating a minor pirate. Roger apparently knew enough to...

That was half a joke. As for not-half-a-joke part, again, we simply don't know what had happened there. What we do know however is that Garp had clashed equally with Kuzan, which is about what Whitebeard himself had managed. In fact, Garp vs Kuzan fight is almost an exact mirror of the...

It's Whitebeard. What did you expect?

Garp fought Offscreen Blackbeard Pirates and survived. That is frankly at least as impressive as what Whitebeard did at Marineford, even if it doesn't look that way.

Not to mention, author can be wrong about their own work, which can be dangerous if people choose to take author's word as a gospel. For example, many think that Federal Service in the Starship Troopers book is an al-encompassing civil service, when in the book it is clearly a military...

This. Those however are just tools. What exactly did Rocks do with these tools? Nothing of lasting importance, as far as can be seen so far.

Koby likes Luffy, yes. But he is aware that Luffy is a pirate and that they might have to clash in the future. Look at the panels posted here: I mean, Smoker ended up liking Luffy during Alabasta, but still decided to chase Luffy during the Punk Hazard arc.
