Legendary Shipping Meltdowns (SPOILERS)

Ray Down said:
Dragon Ball also handle it's romance the best for a shonen action series:

Goku married Chichi and had kids. Krillin and Gohan both got wives. Bulma and Vegeta hooked up. Tons of romance. But never ever focused on, almost entirely off screen

Except Yamcha, where the only person that gives a shit about you is a talking, flying shapeshifting cat.
 
I'll have a meltdown if Hachiman doesn't end up with the teacher in SNAFU

I won't really because there's no chance of it happening, but I hate the 2 main girls quite a bit. They can fuck off, teacher is top tier.

And honestly, regarding Sarada as Karin's daughter could've been done well, and even done to make Sakura out as a good character. Say Sasuke only slept with Karin as a means to ensure some sort of heir, but she dies in childbirth. Sakura takes her in and raises her as her own, knowing that Sasuke has unfinished business outside the village. Sasuke eventually returns and they have their own Pink haired Uchiha spawn. Boom you get a whole message about how it's not your birth parents that define you but who raise you, blah blah meaning of family, etc. Instead Sasuke's just an absent father and Sakura overreacts to everything. Kishimoto is a hack.

Dumbest shit I've heard in a while. Well since the hilarious theories some of NarutoGAF were coming up at the time.

Explains why its shipping fanbase is so small.

Well Yamcha was only there to get beat up to make villains seem powerful.

Bulma had shit taste in men when she was 16.

They're shoving unexpected Ws down my throat. Didn't think NaruHina would happen, or Korrasami, yet here we are.

I've been on the right side of most pairings. I guess the TaixSora one kind of is an L but I think by the time it happened I stopped caring about it and completely forget how Digimon went until people remind me.

I'm also on the HancockxLuffy train, if OP has any romance at all then that better happen and I'm fine with whatever else happens.

The head writer for the series basically confessed in a message board that it was his plan to push Tygra as hard as possible by having everyone continually shit on Lion-O. Even went so far as to rage out at the people who called him out for that bullshit.

Thundercats Reboot is the ultimate example of shitty shipping due to shitty writing. CN did us all a mercy cancelling it, frankly.

It still sours me considering the fantastic animation and character designs, not to mention the really stellar episodes (which were NOT written by the Tygra self-insert, obviously).

Everytime I learn new things about that reboot I get more and more mad. That show went from making me not care about Thundercats as a franchise, to being invested in it, to getting angry about every single thing about it I learn regarding the reboot.

One of the few shows CN cancelled around that time I was perfectly in agreement with.

No dumber than being a proud shipper of this guy with anything.


And it's all about LuffyxHancock or LuffyxRobin. He needs some maturity to balance him out.

Imagine how significantly better this series would have been if they stayed committed to Sasuke being a villain.

It's no coincidence the retrieval arc was the last time I was max hyped for this series.
 
If Robin was a bit younger (then again, it never stopped hardcore shippers), she feels like the type of character you could ship with so many people in One Piece. She just goes with the flow. Like even as ludicrous as her being with Luffy is, you kinda get it, because she often just goes with his antics like it's nothing.

No it's Sanpu, I call them that because Pudding needs top billing.

I just realized, somewhere out there, there is likely a Big Mom x Brook ship.

We got Nami for that.
 
LotusHD said:
Nah, not the same at all. I can't think of any decent pairings for Nami outside of a generic ass pairing of her and Luffy.
Click to expand...

Like that's going to stop people.

I'm sure there are people shipping her with Sanji brothers.

I'm sure there's Nami X Lola fanart, Nami x Zoro, Nami x Koala etc.

I mean you're just proceeding to show you know very little of what you are talking about. Yeah sorry was Sasuke's response to the village's ruling aka he don't give a fuck.

Naruto and Sakura though:

Funny thing because SasuNaru and SasuSaku are the most popular ships and Sasuke consistently ranks as one of the fandom's most popular characters, if not the most.

What are the odds he doesn't pick anyone? I'll laugh hard if 8man doesn't pick anyone in the end.

Edit: change of mind. 8man and Saika. Well, 8man is already attracted to him anyways.

I think the point the dude is making is "sorry", even if he really really means it, doesn't cut it with Sasuke's actions. It shouldn't have flown with the village and it shouldn't have flown with Naruto or Sakura. And it wouldn't have if a better writer was behind it.

Sakura and Naruto have faith in him (they always did because they knew him better than anyone else). Who gives a fuck what some elders think. They wouldn't be able to jail him even if they wanted to lol

Sasuke's actions are as justified as the what some of the villages did: resorting to the genocide of a clan (Konoha) , invading and killing other nations (Sand to Konoha), trying to steal the Byakugan through murder (Raikage), starting countless wars, capturing bijuu to be within their borders, ruthless chunin exams etc

They reaped what they sowed. A better writer would of have not whitewashed the villages at the end (though Kishi did give them all new leadership) but tackled such issues.

Koala is 23
Boa is 29 as per volume 58 SBS, 2 years later makes her 31.
Click to expand...

Yeah I did the math. Boa was 12 when she was captured, then 4 years a slave, then freed 12 years prior to main stuff puts her roughly in the upper 20s range pre-Summit War. So weird, I don't know why I thought she and Koala were the same, eh whateves.

Rahxephon has other fans besides me? Thought I was the only one. I wonder though if any shipped the MC of that anime with the younger sister or the Red Haired girl because of age.

Haruka best waifu, no use shipping Ayato with her sister.
Does Ayato see a young Megumi in the Rahxephon? Nope. The real ship was obvious from ep one once you rewatch it.
