Today's custom is one very special to me, Autobot Air Lieutenant Starfire! Having started out as a concept I saw on a now defunct site in 2020, I would give credit if I could, Starfire has gone through three iterations in my journey as a customizer. Starting with the Earthrise Seeker mold, moving onto the Legacy Needlenose mold, and finally ending on the Legacy Metalhawk mold. He is very near and dear to me and I personally believe he is my best work and closest thing I have to an actual OC.
A little bit of lore about him:
Starscream finally having had enough of Megatron's bullying as well as having a crisis of conscience after being saved by his old pal Jetfire decides to join the Autobots taking on the name Starfire! During his time with the Autobots he has become the protector of Earth's Cyber Key and realized his latent ability to control and manifest weapons made of the ultra rare and ultra powerful blue Super Energon. No longer vain, but just as proud, Starfire finally sees that being good ain't so bad!

Today's custom is a bit more subdued than the others, it's Sunstreaker! As one of my favorites I decided to touch him up. I made his forearms completely black and added his trademark red shoulders.

It puts you in a state where you can die from overexcursion, but its not a guaranteed death sentence. In context of this, the panel on the right has Kakashi speaking in reference of the Curse Mark. Sasuke use a portion of his Chakra to suppress the Curse Mark. He was able to do this until he fought Version 1 Gaara where he forced out another Chidori when he didnt have enough Chakra which allowed the Curse Mark to manifest.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney The same way XXI is getting attention once the story is ready for him to be focused on?
Regardless, I dont imagine either of us are gonna make any headway here. I thank ya for being respectful, but I think we've both spent enough time on this.
@THEWEEBNINJA1@GuyShishioh@Wingstarb6wb You can just argue its the rule of cool. Its the same with Hirudora. Guy says its not Ninjutsu so he isnt applying shape change. He says its just a punch, a super one, but a punch nonetheless.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney Beerus almost destroyed Earth
Gohan almost got everyone killed in the Cell and Buu Arcs
Vegeta almost got everyone killed in the Cell Arc
The fact it was almost in of itself shows that he isnt over himself yet, he almost is, but he obviously not yet.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney So youre saying in these examples something happens after the stomp that makes up for the hero losing badly? Thats what I've been saying this whole time.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney He's had five fights and every single one was definitive. Then of coarse you have him blowing away Zen buu. Then we got his spotlight chapters explaining what he is. I dont really see the complaint.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney Thats because he has been purposefully keeping a low profile so he could bring his plan to fruition. Thats a classic villain trope. Thats literally what Palpatine does Star Wars. He masquerades as an unassuming character until he is forced out of hiding.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney Sure they were at the forefront of their arcs, but a villain doesnt necessarily have to be. Black Zetsu, Palpatine, Professor Quirrell are examples of villains who were largely background characters until it was actually revealed what or who they were.
@lovesouthh@sasukesolos@SaintFuego Thats not what that says though. Kakashi says once you hit zero if youre not careful you'll die. Thats a much different statement than if you hit zero you will die.
Yes, multiple things in Naruto were retconned. One good example would be the Tailed Beasts. Originally Kurama and Shukaku were just referred to as Spirits. There wasn't really any indication of a larger group until Shippuden, but I digress.
A retcon isnt necessarily a bad thing and maybe it isnt a retcon, maybe Sasuke was gonna use a nerfed version of Kirin. But every time weve see it used in its full form its been preceded by a weather system being created through the use of Fire Style Jutsu and then natural lightning from the resulting weather system is used to attack.
Also the sky has more than a couple dark clouds at the start of this. Then as you can see thats a giant fireball shot by Sasuke's Susanoo. Naruto's avoiding them, but theyre going up into the sky. In that third image you can see the lightning storm cloud begin to form. And lastly in the fourth image is the sky directly before Sasuke uses Kirin.
Sure if you go by the literal definition, but I wouldnt say this is one anymore than I would say Super Evolution Cooler vs Base Goku or 50% Freeza vs Base Goku or SSJ2 Gohan vs Cell is. Its just one person not trying and then absolutely stomping out the other person with no pushback.
@willyumrogers@RaxRazing I mean sure, I'm not saying it couldnt hurt Luffy. I'm just saying in a fight you don't necessarily need a counter to every technique your opponent may have, just don't get caught by what they do.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney The difference is that Freeza was show to hold back consistently, XXI was never shown to aside from not revealing his true nature.
Justu just means Technique. There are many types of Jutsu. You have the three main type which are Nin, Gen, and Taijutsu. Then you have Bukijutsu which is weapon based Jutsu and that subclasses into Kenjutsu which is specifically about swords as well as Shurikenjutsu which specializes in thrown weapons. Theres Juinjutsu a Jujutsu which are seal based techniques. Not to be confused with Fuinjutsu which are sealing techniques. You have Kinjutsu which is more so a designation for various Jutsu than a specific type. You also have Combination Jutsu like Nintaijutsu or Cooperation Jutsu. You have Sage based Senjutsu as well as the Otsutsuki's Shinjutsu.
All that is to say, Jutsu again just means Technique and Kirin in and of itself would qualify as a Technique.
This from chapter 128. Running out of Chakra doesnt necessarily mean death, its possible you die but its also possible you are just put in a very dangerous position. Mind you in this chapter Sasuke did use a third Chidori which would mean that his tank would've hit zero, but he uses the Curse Mark to forcibly draw out more power and then right after the 4th image he collapses and is unable to suppress the Curse Mark. All of this also happens in his fight with Itachi. Sasuke does eventually stand up and says he gonna "hold off" Garra for a moment, but I'm sure we both know how that would've went.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney Goku literally said Buu killed Vegeta's family and Vegeta almost didnt listen just because he was mad at Goku. Now juxtapose that with what happened when Beerus slapped Bulma.
@43Aagamer@schizojourney Sure the story isn't necessarily built around him, but I don't think it has to be until theyre ready to pull the trigger on that. He's been a foreboding presence regardless that we knew was up to something since Zen Buu snuck into his room and got vaporized.
