....except that's not really what yuki's doing.
but not getting into that because you should go know the material since it's good in the first place.


I'm allowed to make generalizations when I want to avoid spoilers. <_<

Though I stand by the fact that superpowerful beings do share very similar characteristics. It isn't a coincidence that they have multiple things in common. power of such insane magnitude alienates the characters who have it from the audience. Their motives become more and more inscrutable and appealing to distilled concepts becomes necessary to anchor them to something the audience can hate/love. It's kind of like how Superman has to be made to jump through hoops most of the time so that he isn't a boring invincible hero, though different because the setup doesn't have as much in common.

EDIT: Also, I intended to read up on Yuki for this, but then lolRL came up. Doing research like I did for Red and the specific instances of power use I had prepared for Yuki just in case nobody talked is all I can do right now. :-/
