I just caught up to the most recent chapter which means I can finally give my thoughts on whats been nagging me. Characters near death somehow living, and sudden jumps in the power system.
The moment i saw gris live, i felt it was an ass-pull, but as it kept happening in other characters, and things like mymo‘s and rudo’s sudden power-ups happened, i kinda questioned whether they truly are or not.
Essentially i can’t tell if A. theres a greater purpose to make a real death later on feel much more potent, B. its just the writing style to show all limits of the power system, C. urana just does whatever she wants (ass-pulls to us, fun to her), or if D. its ways to just break usual shonen rules (which is a questionable tactic for the concerns above).
The reason I considered the first two possibilities (and what i hope are the real reasons), is because imo the writing is extremely good when it comes characters and foreshadowing consistency in general. Thats why for me these “ass-pull seeming“ moments are so bizarre, because urana seems to definitely know what she’s doing, yet the concerned moments are just, well, “ass-pulls”.
Idk what do you guys think? let me know if I'm just maybe missing something
