ACES CURE PLANES posted:

Nasuverse rules exist to be broken.

Humans and heroic spirits are on totally different operating systems, there's no way a human could defeat the most powerful heroic spirit with a weapon designed to kill every heroic spirit and a reality destroying sword.
That rule was stated by Rin, and even then she stated its a general rule because of how much advantage they had in specs, and she was already trying to fight Servants with jewels even after and before uttering that 'rule'. Actually fighting servants requires the proper tool and situational advantage, basically preparations. You don't do a spontaneous direct fight.

quote:

Humans and True Ancestors are on totally different operating systems, there's no way a human could beat the strongest True Ancestor.
I don't remember that being stated, the point was more about Arcueid being immune to most weapons. While Shiki have one of the rarest ability in-universe that allows skip most defense measures. And having his assassin training pretty much beaten into his body.
And it typically was always about him having the situational advantage, like in the first encounter Arcueid didn't even register Shiki as a threat that would suddenly attack her.

Again, having the proper tool and situational advantage

quote:

Humans and the Ultimate Ones are on totally different operating systems, there's no way an unmodified human could ever beat Type Venus.

Etc etc.

Again having the proper tool and the opportunity to use them. the Black Barrel was a conceptual weapon excavated from the sealed region of Atlasia.


Most of Nasuverse is all about having the proper tools and stacking the deck with situational advantages. Most victories were achieved because of stacking the deck with those factors.
You rarely ever seen a straightforward direct fight.

So, the foreigner class is weak to Alter Egos. Recently JP got a welfare Alter Ego, so just about everyone going into Salem has one good awesome counter to Lovecraftian stuff.

So whats probably going down right now is a lot of Mecha-Eli-chan vs Yog-Shoggoth.

yes because Broly only knows punches and ki blasts, so he kills Heracles twice and then he can't kill him the rest of the times.

I think the real question isn't whether or not we're disrespecting the rather aged stories of a racist anti-semite, the question is whether or not we're disrespecting them enough.

It's not even disrespectful, reading the Salem story stuff it's pretty clear that whoever wrote it knew their Mythos cause there's a lot of clues and refs

Haiyore! Nyaruko-san has some deep Lovecraft cuts too, but I'm not sure that necessarily makes a thing "respectful" (whatever that means, anyway...) Certainly doesn't make it serious, at any rate.
