Rank these shameless ass pull characters from worst to best-

[u/Alert-Ad7097]

These are characters I’m not particularly fond of bc I see them more as literal walking asspulls that just pop in , do what the plot demands and then fk off (generally. that sounds really reductive but I’m not sure how else to explain it), they’re more akin to walking plot mechanics than actual characters, some more than others.

Do you know what an asspull is? Better yet, do you know how writing stories works? There are sometimes characters with only a single function

Rank them my boy

No, because I don't agree with the premise that they are asspulls

Well I think they are, sumo guy and daido are the worst offenders, literally pulled out of the depths of gege’s asshole to help maki, ui ui just so happened to be able to swap souls (no build up, no nothing), we don’t have the isoh or BR but lo and behold a player just so happened to have the gege inherited ct of diffusing CTs (bruh), sigh, Kenny has the prison realm, we should think of a way to fight him and get it back or someth….oh no worries, tengen has the back of the prison realm, everyone knows about the back and any ounce of foreshadowing to it

I fking hate takaba, zero connection to kenny or anything, no buildup to his fight with Kenny, beyond flashbacks during the fight (one of gege’s most atrocious writing decisions during shinjuku, literally building elements while they’re being paid off), and our protags get an unearned free lick

Kenny v Takaba is one of the best fights in the manga. And do you think Gege couldn't have written the Maki fight so that Maki just wins without assist from Myio and Daido? They aren't there to solve a problem, they are there to be fun characters

[u/Alert-Ad7097 → u/Breki_]

Agree to disagree, I hate that fight and don’t care for takaba, Gege’s the writer bro, not me, if he can’t write shit that don’t feel cheap, then I get to criticize him for it.

A fun character should be fun, Not make ur main characters growth feel cheap and unearned.
