          Bejita did unironically start mogging Gokek when his grindset went from "BAAAAAHHHH I WANNA BE STRONGER THAN KAKAROT RAAAAAAAGH" to literally anything else. CHADren's power and Friegga being alive again gave him a training motive that allowed him to actually mog TARDku because he was worried for the sake of his family shit instead of letting him live rent free in his ego.

      naruto did work hard
      thats why hes the strongest ninja of all time
      he is the perfect triple blend of
      1) rock lees autistic obsession with self improvement
      2) gaaras jinchuruki demon bullshit power [steroids]
      3) sasukes god tier genetics
      he mogs all 3 with no issue because he has all 3 of those things. He trained as hard as Rock Lee who had no demon and shit genetics. He had a demon like Gaara who barely trained and descended from a political scummer who sucked at fighting. He had an OP as frick bloodline like Sasuke who had no demon and didn’t go particularly hard with training.

      Yes, so does Sasuke (even though sasuke also gets eye asspulls later in the series). Pretty much every anime MC gets workmogged by their rival, but the MC has plot armor so they always come out with the victory. It's why most people drop shonenshit by the time they turn 13 and start watching high IQ stuff like Steins;Gate.

          Are you a fricking idiot? Naruto does barely any training outside of the rasengan and learning sage mode in the entire series. Meanwhile Sasuke is trained and given ninja steroids by the strongest of the legendary sannin. In fact, Naruto never really wins any fights in the series, the nine tails does. Every important fight he's in, he gets close to losing and Kurama has to come in and save the day. Sasuke spends the entire series risking his health & safety training with Orochimaru just to surpass someone who relies on jinchuriki bullshit. Naruto is a terribly written character for someone who is supposed to represent hard work and dedication.

          Thats up for debate but sasuke has been training since a little kid with his brothers, once his clan was wiped out he trained to take revenge. Naruto was the one that never trained and fricked around, until he was forced into team 7 and prove himself. 9 tails fox saves narutos life throughout the series.

      Baki trains a lot. Like an absurd amount of time. before he attempted to fight Yujiro at the age of 13, he was warming up for 12 hours straight. Jack might be more autistic about his exercise but their training program is different in its basics. Baki doesnt even lift weights, and focuses on calisthenics instead. Okay, the Hanma genes are obviously a large boost but Jack also has them. His natural talent/resilience shows in the fact that he is still alive after the absurd amount of steroids he takes. The one however who is mostly natural talent is Yujiro. The dude forced his own birth when he was only 5 months old while his kids were more or less normal as infants. We saw Yujiro swimming but instead of working hard like his children, he smokes cigars and drinks alcohol in his free time [other than fighting of course]

    Goku is fine.
    Naruto is asspull + talk-no-jutsu, there's no hard work.
    Baki is 100% talent, he doesn't work.
    Kirito is only strong in a videogame.
    Yugi has the power of friendship.

      He supposed to be "the super saiyan" like

      Originally, there was supposed to be only one "legendary super saiyan", who turned out to be Goku. Then this was retconned by giving every saiyan the ability to achieve it, and Broly was made "the" legendary super saiyan later.

      said so yes it is genetics, Toriyama is a hack.

      No, the issue is that too many talentBlack folk are in the hardworking side. the point of the separation is to differentiate normal humans who honed their bodies to the limit to achieve their results vs people who needed additional assistance from luck, genetics, nine-tailed foxes etc. to reach their pinnacle in the story.

      Zoro is literally just a regular guy. He is exactly the same structurally as any other random mook in the story, the key difference being his willpower and training. Flip side, Ichigo, who despite working hard to get to where he's at, would barely be above the average no-name spirit let alone shinigami let alone captain-level shinigami if not for his cheater genes

        The are all genetically gifted and hardworking. Every single one of them. Zoro is implied to be some Wano noble lineage, so that goes right out the window. Its just like real life.

          quick google is telling me Zoro just had a strong resemblance of Ryoma, not like he necessarily directly descended from him. His mannerisms, willpower, and training method could easily account for most that logically in the story. And the fact that the story works just as fine without him being a descendent is the point of the inspiration. Contrast that with other well known talent goblins like the Fairy Tail guy or Yugi and the difference between them is clear.

            Zoro is pretty much confirmed for Shimotsuki bloodline, a legendary Wano family. That doesnt mean that he isnt still a hard working bad ass. He may have the natural born propensity towards swordsmanship, but his hard work is what made him what he is

            The point is that Deku is the type to miss the forest for the trees. His hyperanalysis is a blessing and a curse. He can overcome challenges but misses the simple shit simply because he overthinks it. Using his legs is such a simple concept that it never even registered in his psyche. Modeling himself after AM, its easy to see why he overlooked it

        He worked hard. He may not have been training his physicality his whole life but he was doing everything else right. Understanding the nature of quirks, how to use them in the safest way, best ways to use quirk synergistically etc. He is a fricking nerd, of course being physically capable was something so easy taht he overlooked, much like many nerds in the real world. However once he realized he needed physicality he worked harder than everyone else to hone his body to its highest degree. His lack of being able to utilize OFA at 100% isnt due to his lack of hard work, its a hard cap as of now because he is a literal child with an average body. Someone like AM is a genetic freak and as able to handle it because it was weaker at the time he inherited it, and he was just born blessed. Deku has made insane progress given the span of time hes had to work with

        I thought the Black Reaper moniker was in reference to his sister before she disappeared and gifted her powers to Hei. Since no one knew what happened to her, he simply inherited her alias

          It's been a few years for me but nope, he did get her star though. Most people don't even know who is sister was or her powers, they just know her by star so they think he's the original BK201. I'm pretty sure most people don't even know his powers, they just think he can electrify people because that is all he does. A lot of people want to know what happened at the end and very few actually do. Hei knew his sister was gone, he just couldn't accept it which is why all he did was electrify people and spend half the series looking for anything he could about her whereabouts.
          He begun being called Black Reaper as a non contractor, in a war fighting contractors alongside his sister. His name "Hei" is literally black in chinese (he's chinese).

              Yeah Amber was good and I definitely wanted more of her, she just keeps getting younger and you never see when or exactly for what she keeps using her powers or how they really work. Just part of the mystery now.
              I was holding out so much hope for an announcement for anything during the anniversary gathering a few years back.
              Been a bit since I've watched it, now I want to do a full rewatch and reread the manga. All I have is a discord, I pretty much just use it for vidya but if you have one we could talk about DtB there.

                at some point increasing edginess just makes a story cringe instead of making it more "mature" or whatever you are trying to imply. I could write a sonic fanfic with a mc that suffers ten times more than the humans in I Have No Mouth And Must Scream, but that would be something so detached from reality and over the top that it would lose its weight as a sad story

                Berserk is already so egregiously edgy that it's hard to take it seriously sometimes, but the eclipse after the relatively happy golden age arc hits the sweetspot for me in being a hard-hitting sadness wankfest, thanks to the build-up to it. Let's not kid ourselves, mangas tend to have very mediocre writing and Berserk is wayy above average in this regard

    >implying team hardwork isn’t a byproduct of luck/genetics
    Goku is a saiyan which already puts him over all humans in dragonball, Naruto has top chakra reserve genes and is descended from ninja Jesus, Yusuke has demon blood that descends from the top demon raizen, Baki has Hanna genetics. Also that homosexual Gon is related to Ging and is already powerwanked by everyone he interacts with. Most of these characters are would amount to nothing in comparison without some sort of advantage like team talent.

              Nah I don't think so. Everyone comes from different backgrounds, puts in a different amount of work off the field. Unless you're actually malformed any genetic differences can be very quickly overcome by hard work. I remember back in highschool you'd have nerds like me disparaging the "talented" kids as just coasting off their talent in Phys Ed, when in reality they were just working out and playing sports after school. Saying it was just talented was me arrogantly dismissing all the hard work they did to get to that level. What I thought was good genes was actually just weights. You could really see it when you saw their parents and siblings too

    What matters most in the gym is having the balls to don a ski mask and sexually assault everyone who is bigger than you over the course of years to avoid suspicion. By targetedly poisoning the well you can insure that you remain the biggest by asserting your dominance in the classical primal manner and driving away all competition. You could extend this mindset to any woman who tries to mog you as well but that would become gay because women are hella weak and that means that you felt threatened by someone who was weak. You'll know you've made it once you start driving off bears (the animal kind) using your penis as a weapon. At that point, you may as well turn yourself in and frick yourself to the top of prison society living as some bestial king

    Talent is just a cope. Most people don't realise how much effort and time mastery actually takes for the best in the field, they just see the end result, and so they blame it on this invisible, supernatural force that supposedly made someone a god at something at birth because it's easier to think of it that way. Truth is, no. Everyone's brain is malleable, and anyone can become as good as a master at something by employing the right strategies for improvement for long enough. Life isn't an isekai anime where someone is born with some special skill that no one else can get. Thinking about it objectively and looking at what a master is doing in any field, there is nothing preventing any non-brain damaged human from doing the same.
    Saying this means that if you're not as good as someone else then it's your fault and you have to take responsibility for it, though, so no one wants to accept it even when it's the truth.

      having luck as a part of team talent is moronic, any sort of success in life requires a degree of luck in your favor, in Shonen it's basically a requirement. Genetics is also kind of a copout since it doesn't invalidate the hardwork someone puts in.

      How is Yusuke not in Team Talent, dude has S-class demon genetics in him. Also Deku got hands-on training from the world's strongest heroes and was fighting villains since he was 13. Gon should also be middle considering how much of HxH is just dedicated to him training

          >show hot girls being raped and impregnated by “goblins” in great detail
          >hero goes and kills them
          I mean I read a cuck doujin with the exact same premise, a girl would frick the monsters and the hero would kill them when they are all tuckered out. I laughed out loud at how stupid it was but GS is pretty much the same but less in your face
          It has to be a fetish

            Attractive women have been raped irl and in fantasy with “heroes” in the “story” since the dawn of time, but where’s the cuck part here

            You don’t know what cuck means do you?

              Watching other men frick girls you like is pretty cucky

              And it was fricked in old stories too. Early orientaism was fricking weird, spawning an entire genre of “this fat bastard arab sultan kidnapped my gf and fricked her and put her in his harem, we have to save her”

                Ya but where’s the part where goblin slayers wife/gf gets fricked. Anyway this kind of story is common because love and betrayal is something many understand
                Pic rel is a “cuck fantasy”

    >hardwork
    >Naruto
    >literally only able to train as he did because he had half the absolute strongest tailed beast put inside of him as a baby and even only half was more than enough to give him moron strong amounts of chakra far and above anyone else in the entire franchise
    Also Deku has to work incredibly hard to use his abilities, the whole first part before he can even accept One For All is him training his body so the strain doesn't literally kill him and even then when he uses even 5% of it he breaks his limbs badly. He does later get asspull multiple quirks but he has to work to use those as well.

    Contrary to popular belief I think Naruto and goku do belong in hard work column because goku has Saiyan genetics but there r plenty of other insane genetic ppl in dbz, Frieza literally didn’t train a single day, vegeta, raditz, Napa, were all Saiyans, cell had saiyan genes and so on. Same concept for Naruto, he had the nine tails but had to work hard to actually be able to use it and there were a lot of other crazy genetics ppl in Naruto. Baki however should be in genetics, bro only fights other humans and is the son of literally the strongest human in the series due to “demon back” which baki inherited and it let him just beat the frick out of Olivia when Olivia was pounding him 10 seconds prior

    Kirito on luck is the most speedwatcher bullshit imaginable. He was on the frontlines from Floor 1 to the end. He does a ton of limit testing throughout and is subsequently the strongest player.

    He just gets exponentially stronger because the strongest player gets unique skills from the system but he was only the fastest from work.

    Gon is literally stated to be in the highest echelon of natural talent, yusuke was the strongest fighter among his piers before he got his powers, Naruto was just bailed out by a power given to him. Goku and zoro yea that’s legit. Don’t know who the gay on the bottom right is

    The gym requires no talent

    Talent is related to skill. Being good at piano or a sport requires talent.

    While you might need good genes to get strong or be recognized in lifting, those genes have nothing to do with the genes of talent

    I would argue that talent doesn't even require any genes behind it. It's really just learning a skill in a smart way it's knowing how to learn and learn fast. Which is something anyone can do to an extent
