That's cause if she didn't exist, it'd be harder to explain how ikkaku wasn't long since dead before canon starts. She's the strict younger sister type who can rein him in just enough to not go glory death seeking left and right.
(AN: Infinite void is badass. But bleach is full of monsters. For example, Mayuri created a poison that had effects really similar to infinite void. He used it against the Espada scientists. His name is too fucking long. As for Ikkaku's sister. She was introduced in Manga at the start of the Blood war arc but the fact that she is Ikkaku's sister was only said in the novel Can't fear your own world. That is set a few months after the blood war. But Ikkaku is from Rukongai. So she could be an adopted sister or his true blood sister when they were humans. Honestly, she is quite sexy. But we already have Soi Fon who has basically the Same personality and looks. Really don't know why Kubo created this Shino.)

That's because of the simple rule of anime, the more unique the more important. Colorful hair is everywhere? Give the 'more' important one a less colorful or multicolor hair. Metals and gem like hair are a shoe-in for super important no matter the world and only become more important depending on it's value. Silver is more valuable in a world of evil, whilst gold becomes the secret strong character in mixed worlds. In a world chockful of colored hair, be weary of the ones with pure black or white hair. In a world of brown and black hair be weary of the blonde or red haired.
(AN: For those who read or watched bleach and still remember. Jidanbo is supposed to be a little childish and a little mentally retarded but it's a little hard to show it in his speech. For example, he had a hard time counting past seven or higher. So yeah. Not the brightest one. Anyway, I tried my best and seriously though. Did you notice that in anime, generally if someone has silver hair, he is some kind of badass genius or a total monster? Just for example. In bleach we Ukitake, Toshiro, Gin. In Naruto Kakashi. In jujutsu we have Gojo, in HxH we have Kirua. In Tokyo ghoul we have Kaneki second form. In death Note we have Near. There are simply too many examples.)

Explain how some matches have more than 300 pt differences then.
After all, a gap of 150 points cannot be beaten even though the enemy had tremendous skills in normal scoring.

Let's put it in simpler terms, 4 houses means 3 games a year, one per the other houses. So if mc's plan is to instantly catch the snitch every game, the year's score is 450. The average final score is 500~600, even minus the score from playing against slytherin, it's easy for the other houses to fly past them. Especially if they conspire together to drag out the games to inflate the score just to beat slytherin's arrogance, which would only be at an all time high if mc overperforms this way.
He can't afford to stay here for more than two or three hours. He needs to finish the game early and return to magic study as soon as possible is the proper course of action for him.

It's worse when you remember them mentioning it worked on the Hulk at least once before. So it's probably adamantium tipped and super experimental tranquilizing liquid filled dart. It's probably enough to even work on a blue whale let alone a possessed wizard who's probably only a year or two away from entirely rotting away even with endless unicorn blood infusions.
The important detail is that the army's unique tranquilizer sniper weapon has a 1,000 meters range. He is capable of making covert attacks that his adversary cannot see.

During a math class I created my own formula but it was rejected for being outside the lesson's scope. What originally took multiple steps and formulas got boiled down to one plug in the numbers and get the answer. So twice the speed with half the effort type deal yet still 100% the right answers. I thought it was an intuitive formula, but when the teacher came around and saw that my paper had barely any 'work' shown I had to explain it and then be told to redo it all with the proper formula because "The point of the assignment is how well you understood the application of the formula and not about if you got the answer". Standardized testing basically forced the teacher to 'correct' me, thus butchered any ideas I had. I still kept using use it though, but just to check if I got the answer right and whether I messed up the original formula's process.
Various little subtleties that were overlooked during the independent study will now be brought to light under the teacher's explanation. Additionally, the teacher will explain many information, experience, and minor things that are not addressed in the books.

Terrible comparison. Language arts would be better, just because you memorized all the grammar and spelling doesn't mean you understand how to analyze and read between the lines or how to write a compelling essay. Math doesn't require much outside the book, most of those classes are just practicing what was in the books and the teacher keeping you from misunderstanding what the texts meant. Experience only becomes useful when the results demand more than written answers. Physics and chemistry are similarly simple, that is until you have to actually perform the experiments where a guiding hand will prevent you from making a mistake like using the wrong materials or chemicals just because they're visually similar.
It's similar to memorizing a math textbook, which would allow you to use the formulae through independent study, but it's still true that you must attend math class and pay attention to the teacher's explanations. In addition, magic's complexity is comparable to the difficulty of mathematics.

Why the utter bs? Just give the half-truth that the magic's power originates from good deeds, so the more good the more power and hence the more good. An endless feedback loop of more power for more good. You can even sprinkle in a lie that performing misdeeds reverts that growth so they don't have to worry about you going rogue. It's not an entire lie either, since the moment he goes supervillain he'd be killed by 'superheroes' effectively turning his power back into nothing.
Because of his excellent physical control at the moment, Jerry took a moment to unwind before gently raising his head, his eyes somewhat red, and responding, "Because there was once a person who taught me: With great power comes great responsibility."

Room of Lost things, I think, is the only room that lets you take things from it. The rest only create copies that disappear when taken outside or destroyed. Always thought it was a cop out to skip the tedious search by creating a room of wands, gold, or whatever to have all the lost items pop up neatly sorted. Only makes sense that the ROR only lets you keep the things you earned, even if you didn't lose it yourself, by digging through a mountain of junk.
"I need that location to preserve belongings!" Jerry repeatedly considered this in his head before proceeding to stroll past that white wall three times in a row.

Man those corpses must take a lot of power to be killed a second time.
The magic spell does not imply that once you learn it, you can use it to your fullest potential. Jerry can only use it to light cigarettes for now, just like a regular flame spell, but Dumbledore can use it to burn thousands of corpses to death.

Weird to bring up the elder wand in a history class when the general consensus is that it's an obscure mythological object from a short story barely anyone reads. It's like if someone brought up a knights of the round table wielding Excalibur during the holy crusade segment of world history.
"Emeric the Evil was a short-lived wizard with great power. Early in the Middle Ages, he rose to become the master of the Elder Wand and unleashed fear across southern England. He was fighting Egbert the Egregious in a duel."

I'm confused, just because he's in Slytherin he's going to apprentice under Voldemort? Sounds hella stupid to approach the insane dude that puts a self-destruct on all his loyal followers. I get trying to butter up to Snape, but voldemort sounds like the worst choice, especially when you can clearly see the dude sacrificed quite a few things to get his power. I mean who the hell thinks abandoning their humanity is a good idea not even to mention destroying your own soul. I wouldn't touch any of that dark magic with a ten foot pole let alone actually use it.

Despite what everyone says, they aren't that much different beyond the nuances. I had a friend who was an avid hp book reader, whilst I've only seen the movies once each. It took them a year of talking every so often about deep hp lore before they finally found out that I never read the books, and even then it was about dumbledore's mundane actions where I just plainly admitted that I was speculating without any knowledge of the subtler things he did in the books. So...with just a bit of theory crafting and you too can go unnoticed by hardcore hp fans indefinitely. They stopped talking to me about hp though when I refused to read the books. I really did try once upon a time, but the books were such a chore to get through that I didn't even finish the first chapter, despite being at the peak of my book binging spree.
This...shouldn't...be too much of a distinction between the movie and the original work, right?

Kind of pointless to hide the konoha headband when he struts around with a sharingan active. Only known uchiha still alive are two kids and an S-rank rogue. Would be hard to confuse a kid with itachi though, so...it's basically guaranteed that the only ninja would be one of two in konoa. One being publicly a genin strikes off that too, so the only one left is the mysterious 10yo with an unknown rank.
Even though there was smoke coming out from the entrance due to one of the fires, Yami could see everything clearly as he had his Sharingan activated. Yami unsheathed his sword and covered it with a thin layer of wind chakra. He used the same technique that Asuma had taught him and gave him a scroll.

Not really, Kurenai only promised to use her network to get Yami in touch with Asuma. Kurenai is owed a spar from Yami, but still owes a favor to Asuma for getting him to meet Yami. Asuma is trading the knowledge for his team to spar with Yami, but can still cash in the favor from Kurenai for a date or whatever.
'Did I just fuck up?' Asuma thought as he realized his mistake. He could've asked her for dinner but settled for a spar. He was mentally cursing himself but he couldn't change anything now as his students were standing right beside him.

It's like how 007 is cooler than just "James Bond", except japan has a thing for english. It's why sometimes you'll find that attack names are in other languages, most commonly english for japanese authors. What's cooler than a foreign language though? A foreign alphabet. So in conclusion...it's chunnibyo style. Pretty sure I remember reading somewhere the author regrets being so impulsively immature about the naming scheme for kumo but that 'it is what it is' or whatever.
(A/N: I don't know why but just A as the name of Raikage feels odd. I wonder what the writer smoked that day)

Pretty sure the 'limit' has nothing to do with bankai. That's more of a spiritual attunement thing rather than straight up power like it's so often portrayed. Soi Fon's bankai is the perfect example, it's only powerful because she hyperspecialized in speed which takes full advantage of an attack that kills anyone when she manages to hit the same spot twice. Otherwise it'd be the most useless bankai in existence, since no matter how high a being you can kill with it, you're strictly limited by whoever you can accurately hit twice in the exact same spot. Every bankai is more like a manifestation of your spirit, so as long as you refine yourself through trials and tribulations you can eventually reach it. I think the more nonsensical thing, is that despite everyone having literal centuries of time to practice/train they never thought to branch out and work on their weakest points like kido, hakudo, etc. I mean I get kenpachi never trying out different branches of power since he doesn't care about even maintenance for his sword(also could've swore he didn't even have a shikai/bankai until near the end and decides on a whim he has one now). But someone like rukia wouldn't stagnate for so long as to be barely above average at the start of canon. All that time, yet for some reason it's only during the story that they actually make any meaningful jumps in power crammed within the relatively minuscule time frame.
(AN: What I hated the most in bleach was the power system. Initially, Bankai needed ten years of careful training. But behold. I have created a technique to learn in three days. Awesome, right? Like Ichigo in two weeks, went from not even knowing Shikai and being beaten by a Byakuya who only had 20% of his strength, to learning Bankai and fighting Equally with Byakuya at full power. If shit like that only happened with Ichigo, I could say okay. He is the mc. But that happens to everyone. Shinigami are supposed to have a natural limit. That's one of the reasons why Aizen created Hogyoku. But it seems like this limit doesn't apply to people Ichigo is close to.)
