Why? You continue arguing against a point I never made. I'll bold it this time

A MAGICAL SPELL THAT DOESN'T CONJURE A PHYSICAL ATTACK

That's my initial statement, the thing you claimed to have debunked and yet have provided nothing but physical attacks like lightning.

The being is magical. He punched and uses lightning. Why is that any different from throwing a fireball if they're both magic oriented. You're literally arguing semantics to waste time.

But here:

Half of those aren't even a thing. Conventional Superman being the way he's been written since the Bronze Age barring outlying events such as the time he was split into 2 beings with electrical powers. It nearly isn't as complicated as you're making it out to be

Dear lord... Again, you're the one making the claim. I never was making any claim but taking issue with yours. Your claim is akin to claiming Superman is a murdering dictator because he did so in the Injustice universe. That's not who conventional Superman is and neither is the one you attribute this never seen before power to.


TheSavageDragon posted...
They are! As recent as last year Felix Faust landed an illusion spell on him. And unless Faust is working with some powerful entity he is low on the DC magic totem pole.


TheSavageDragon posted...


Again, you're trying to turn this into a thing I haven't been discussing with you. I've never made the claim a certain FF character would be able to kill Superman. I've made the counter claim in regards to yours that non physical magic affects Superman while magic conjuring a physical thing like fire or lighting doesn't or does very little. That's it. Because that's a thing that's been shown throughout the ages to work on any conventionally written Superman.

And again you've just restricted Superman to a "conventionally written Superman"

This is stupid lol. I guess we're playing by your rules now. Define "conventionally written". Because nothing Superman does in the DC universe is "conventional" by subjective standards. Shooting eye beams? Blowing up planets? Pulling a chain of planets in space?

You're just trying to dilute him to the point where he can be affected by FF magic. Whereas if this was a topic against Dragonball, you'd be sure as hell people would be pulling out the most insane versions of Superman to beat Goku (And rightly so, if there weren't any rules stated).

Because when someone makes the bold claim that Superman is somehow pretty much invulnerable to magic unless cast by an extremely powerful wizard that claim isn't made about characters that aren't written to be conventional Superman.

Literally look at the fight with Shazam. Do you think FF characters are at the level of Shazam?

TheSavageDragon posted...
I didn't. It's literally in the very first reply I made to you. Try to keep up.

Forgive me for not remembers everything you're saying. I've been debunking your points throughout this topic so its just an afterthought for me >_>

TheSavageDragon posted...
If you don't know, why even make bold claims when you aren't knowledgeable on the subject?
I mean, I get DC's history can be confusing as fuck. But any Superman fan knows what you mean by main universe, conventional Superman. Hint: They don't mean a bunch of alternate versions or Silver Age Superman.

Answer the question? Which Superman? New 52? Age of Crisis? Platinum? Or the most recent?

TheSavageDragon posted...
Because conventional Superman isn't capable of what you're claiming of. Just like conventional Batman isn't a vampire that eats his villains.

Doesn't matter which version. Topic didn't state any rules. Stop making them up now that you're in a corner.

TheSavageDragon posted...


Same here. And I agree 100% with that statement. But that's not what you and I started to discuss. You made the claim that magic only affects Superman if extremely potent. Which isn't true in any way, shape or form.

Yes it is. If it isn't then any old magic user would be harming him constantly. And yes he has had times where magic users have hurt him, but again, there are versions of him that aren't affected. Superman is insanely strong when he needs to be, and he's not losing to an FF character.

TheSavageDragon posted...


.....yes, the person arguing in favor of the JL this entire time and has been tackling this match-up with different versions of DC characters obviously is looking to get a win over Superman...
Again, the issue I take is with your non factual claim which you still haven't proven to be true.

Okay. How about you go on the defensive for once. Which character and spell could kill Superman?

There is a single person in this topic that even mentioned Lulu casting a fire spell and that would be me. So how wouldn't I assume it wasn't directed at me when I was the only one mentioning anything of the sort in conjunction with the previous line being directed at me?

Its funny since I just said that out of jest. But I truly do believe that if you said anything about Lulu's fire being able to harm Superman then...

TheSavageDragon posted...
And we're obviously discussing the main universe regular ass Superman. Not some alternate universe Superman as there are versions literally powered by magic.

Which one is the "main universe regular ass Superman"?? >_>

Why are you restricting all of his alternate versions? There was no limit or rules to this topic.

TheSavageDragon posted...


Okay, now try doing that with a panel that obviously doesn't feature an out of universe Superman. I can post panels of Batman being a vampire and eating his villains, but people would take issue if I were to claim Batman is a vampire that eats his villains.

Why is that not allowed? Again you're restricting Superman now because you know he is stupidly overpowered and not well written, which I agree with. Again, superman sneezes the galaxy away, instant win.

I'm not saying he's a good written character, I'm just saying that you can't pitch FF characters against him. And I'm a huge FF fan. I don't understand why you're so adamant in defending something that's so black and white against an insane character, to the point where you're trying implement "rules" to the topic now because of how ridiculous his power scaling is.

The fact that you've started to do that just shows how much you're reaching in order to get a win over him.

The fact that things like mind control, illusion,... spells have been shown to work on him before? Spells that don't conjure something physical to attack him with. He has straight-up stated multiple times he has little to no defense against magic.
Wonder Woman's sword is able to cut him because of its enchantments and it's not like DC's Greek pantheon are the universal beings you claim Superman to be.
I could easily ask you the same question in that where are you getting it from that he's able to no-sell those types of magic? His physical strength and defense which has been shown to not apply in those cases?

Because to hurt Superman with magic, the magic has to be potent. Thus a character from the DC universe has a much higher chance of harming him, due to being overpowered as fuck, compared to Final Fantasy characters who are not even in the same league as the DC universe, not even close.

Like seriously, how are we debating that FF characters even have a chance against Multiversal beings this is ridiculous lol.

Because by your logic we could just go "Why would you assume all JL attacks would hurt and aren't just are the same as if your Str and MG stats are 1."

I think it's safe to say abilities do what the abilities do regardless. Rather than randomly assuming Zanmato stops doing what it does when done to Batman.

  1. That's being disingenious. You know full well a punch from superman would take out a planet. I don't even know why I have to explain this.
  2. You're relying on possible "effects" of a character based in his own universe. Whilst a planetary punch, is still a planetary punch, regardless of a universe.
  3. You're putting a baseline on each and every spell and effect these characters possess, possibly putting them at God level of power, which is ridiculous.
  4. If that truly was the case, Lulu or Tidus should be able to stop the universe if their time magic abilities could affect a being that can literally influence universes with their power. There is no logic here.
  5. I didn't say Batman.

But a spell like Stop or Doom would have effect on him all the same, no matter the magical strength of the caster.

Where are you getting this from? At what point will the magic be potent on a Godly being? You have to put into perspective of how powerful the being is.

Imagine if an ant threw some paralysis powder at you. That powder being such a minimal, small AOE, that it can barely harm you. I'd wager that's the difference (Putting it lightly) between a FF character's magic pool and potential compared to Supermans durability. Just because you can cast a spell like slow doesn't mean it can effect every being in the universe.

If that was the case, then by that logic you should be able to slow the whole universe down by how potent that magic would be. Again, Superman is beyond universal level.

Yojimbo is also a bit of a Dark Horse in this.

I think any DC hero could take him in a straight fair-fight but if he did Zanmato he'd win instantly and kill everyone.

If the FF Crew kept him back would the JL realize the threat and take him out first before it's too late?

Why? Because Zanmato worked on everyone in FF10? Why would you assume the same thing would happen to a DC character?

That's like saying no one can withstand Hakai energy in Dragonball, except when they did. You can't scale an attack that's "supposed to kill" because you'll never know if you could scale that to universal proportions.

Again, DC and Dragonball characters are at now multiversal levels. Why would one summon with a blade be able to take those beings down? Makes absolutely no sense, especially at the speed he runs. The guy wouldn't even be able to move before Supes or Flash decimates him on the spot.

Superman is vunerable to magic, but the magic needs to be powerful. FF characters are in no way powerful enough to conjure something to take on a being like him lmao.

Seriously, if the DC characters have gone up against all of these scenarios in their own universe, the scale of power in the FF universe would not be comparable.

If someone in the DC universe could petrify, and Superman has withstood it, there is no way an FF character could come close to that scaling.

Are you trolling, or are you just struggling to understand? I am not saying that the act of liking an idol is any more weird than liking a band. I am saying that everywhere in the world, including Japan, finds the obsession with idols to the point that if the idol in question is seen with a guy it becomes a serious threat to their safety due to the potential of getting attacked super weird. Like, do you not get that I am keeping this to the topic in question or something? This topic isn't about all idol stuffs, but specifically about how one is getting threats because she dared to have a music video with a guy in it. Everyone in the world thinks that people like that are weird, it's not some sort of mystical thing that only exists in the west.

You were not clear at all in your last post, seriously:

You statement is about "idol culture" in general. Your statement afterwards spoke about "this sort of deal", but the statement before is what I called out.

Edit: Also the weird side "in western eyes" I was talking about was its obsession with youth, uniformed schoolgirls and its fixation of "kawaii" culture. Pretty sure everyone was already in agreement that hating on an idol because she's with a guy is bad.

You're the one who quoted my quote and misunderstood it. Look who I was replying to, the other poster asked the question of the schoolgirl outfits.

Just to back up my points:

Sakurazaka46's 6th single "Start over" (Apparently, the hunter x hunter creator loves the group and even quoted the song in his latest tweet, also having an MV of it for HxH) hit 1st place in the Daily Single Charts on Oricon, breaking their own records. And they pale in comparison to their sister group Nogizaka46 in terms of popularity:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1290757/japan-most-popular-female-idol-group/

Also whilst AKB is decreasing in popularity, the gap they left has let other group fill it.

Also Nogizaka46 destroying Billboard Japan 100 with a million sales in a week

https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/nogizaka46-japan-hot-100-chart-shiawase-no-hogoshoku-9349514/

Idol culture is pretty mainstream in Japan. To say its weird pretty much eliminates every other level of idol culture that we're talking about aside from this topic. There are many fans who are into it as a daily activity or another past-time. Then there are people who have Oshi's and Kami Oshi's, then there are people who are toxic like this.

To say "everyone thinks idol culture is weird" is totally disregarding every aspect of the industry, even major big time actors and actresses who have literally come out and expressed their favourite idols in the past. Not to mention idols appearing on CM's, movies, magazines, even billboards in Shibuya and Shinjuku.

You ask anyone in Japan, or even parts of Asia like Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand ect, who Shiraishi Mai or Watanabe Mayu is, and they would instantly know who you're talking about.

n addition the main reason that there is any amount of it being considered "not so" is pretty much exclusively a weeb thing, as it even exists in people who are into idol stuff (specifically the level of fanaticism that would cause things like death threats). And that includes people in Asia. Instead it is mostly just a weeb "this is how the other culture thinks about things" far more than anything else as to the misperception that you have.

I have to ask. Have you been to Japan? If so do you actively watch Japanese TV or Movies? Or do you keep up with current news events there? Not being condescending, its a legitimate question. I'm wondering because if you ever have visited or lived there, you would know multiple aspects of their industries are imbued in idol culture. To say "everyone except for weebs find it weird" is totally off the mark.

Correct. The closest equivalent is something like Paris Syndrome, but even then it doesn't quite encapsulate the complete disconnect from reality that many weebs portray.

Just one thing is that idol culture is pretty huge and in Asia, its something of a normalty. I wouldn't equate weebs with those people. You have business men and women going to idol shows. I literally went to some and was kinda surprised at how diverse the crowd was. Even my ex-girlfriend (who hated that I was into idols, admitted she knew some and even had an Oshi lol >_>).

But I do agree that there are some who don't bother learning the culture of the country, or even the language and its people. I really don't understand those people at all myself.

I think with Japan specifically, they have a stereotype of behaving a certain way and flaunting their fandom in ways people interested in other cultures don't.

Fair enough, I hate people who do that too. I see that a lot of Twitter, especially with Kpop idols too. I still remember when people used to fill replies with kpop videos.

ellis123 posted...
I say weeb rather than idol lover because an idol lover would include people from Japan but the only people who have such a tiny view of the country are those whose entire view of the country's inhabitants came exclusively through a mono-cultural anime lens. Thus "weebs" as they are the people whose brains cannot fathom that Japan isn't just a homogenous moe-blob.

Oh I see. So people who know nothing of the culture. I guess why you get so many culture shocked westerners who visit there.

Every culture thinks its weird. It's mostly just weebs who think it isn't.

A lot Asia absolutely love AKB and Sakamichi groups. Even groups such as =Love and not Equal me are starting to gain traction. So its not every culture.

Edit: Also just to clarify, the whole Weeb = idol lover thing is so foreign to me. At least when it comes to groups like Love Live I can see the connection. But when it comes to the 46 groups, A lot of people I know who are supporters of them don't even watch anime that much. Unless you equate weeb as "Japan lover" which is kind of a generalization. Does that mean you're a weeb if you enjoy a specific thing that comes out of Japan?

Why does liking things from that country have such a specific term?

And people still want idol culture to be the standard in Vtubing outside of Japan. This is exacly why people embrace Phase Connect and Vshojo in droves, fans want some talent freedom instead of the cooped up idol culture, because you get a better product and less of this crap.

Babymetal is probably a good standard. They're an "idol" group but not traditionally an idol group. They broke out of Japan and don't adhere to a same standard. I can assure you if Suzuka started dating, not many people would have an outrage over it.

She's 26... why is she pretending to be a high school girl

Kawaii culture, marketability towards a recognizable style that's Japanese. Not all idol groups do it, but youth and innocence are pretty well sought after and celebrated in Japan.

And yeah theres also a weird side to it in the eyes of a westerner.

That being said, Nogizaka46 has brought in males and without any backlash. Probably because it was more on the wholesome side.

Why is the Idol scene still big in Japan anyway?

America got over the Teen Idol phase sometime in the mid-00s.

Because its a different country >_>

You should see india and how they idolize their celebrities. Its still big in Korea too, and even more toxic would you believe.

Idols in Japan are huge, and after their graduation, usually become top tier models, actresses ect.

As an idol fan myself these people are some of the lowest standard of a fan you can become, its sad.

That said, idols know exactly the kind of industry they enter. To say they won't expect this kind of backlash would be disingenious. Again, I'd prefer it if idols had their own say with who they could hang out with, especially in their MV's.

But the whole industry is built upon these losers who buy into their merch and products, the fake idealized version of a female who is "innocent" and is "for them". To bring in another man (a good looking one at that) would only ruin the fantasy and their ego's.

I'm not defending the backlash by any means, just giving my two cents.

I hope JULIA or Sakura Miura show up in Yakuza before they retire. I'm glad they got Anri Okits before she did >_>

Even if they do retire whats stopping them from doing a cameo in a videogame.

I remember a lot of the cameo's in Yakuza primarily because I was watching tons of Doctor X before I really got into J-drama. I recognized like 3 or 4 actors and got so happy lol.

Oh hell yeah. Definitely top tier hostess in K2.

Koyuki > Yuki > Kirara > rest

Yuki sucked in 0, but aging to 39 years or whatever made her s rank in my heart >_>

I really hope they bring in idols next time. Yakuza 5 would have been the perfect opportunity to bring in AKB and Sakamichi girls with Haruka's idol storyline. Such a missed opportunity lol.
