It's so refreshing to see actually competent female characters in a shounen manga.

>>279715052 (OP)
competent females are less realistic than shonen fantasy super powers

>>279715052 (OP)

>>279715052 (OP)
You mean COMATOSE FOR MOST OF THE STORY woman? I liked her but calling her competent is a stretch. Mahito basically ran right at her for the face grab, which she knew was his thing, and she just stood there and let it happen. Maki's the actual competent one and she only exists so Gege can have Toji again.

She broke the shounen main female lead curse

Wouldn't that be Maka from Soul Eater?

>>279715052 (OP)
Imagine Jujutsu Kaisen EXACTLY the same as we got it but Nobara is always on a micro bikini, do you rate it the same?

>>279715052 (OP)
pic not related? nobura never won a single fight. even her introduction ep was she jobbing against the curse

>>279716631
>Shiki
Does anyone remember that thing, other than the russians doing bass-boosted AMVs?

>>279722243
She won 3 fights.

>>279723239
List them, her duo fight with Itadori was more on him than her.

>>279722113
I rate it lower.
A big element of Nobara's eroticism is subtlety.
Knowing that she has a ridiculously stacked body, but hides it under her modest clothing.
It's the same appeal as a sexy nun.

If only they were capable of choosing what they watch instead of just eating the shit they see everyone else eating.

>>279715052 (OP)
What's refreshing is that she wasn't insecure

COMPOTENT

>>279717836
The best part of females in shonen is all the ryona kino.

>>279723797
Well one of the pinacles of JJK is showing that insecurity is basically a death sentence.

>>279723551
Concession accepted, have a nice day

>>279723527
Mad cause you got played. He even told us she could be alive. "There is a non- zero chance". This is Shonen 101

>>279715052 (OP)
Why shounenfags dont just watch Revue Starlight or some shit if they want competent female representation?

>>279723828
Nobara is built for AI slop.

>>279715052 (OP)
She definitely had potential, but it was wasted in every way possible.
Should have just let her stay dead, since now it just means if Gojo had decided to fight Sukuna a half hour later Nobara would have woken up and started fucking up Sukuna with soul attacks during his fight, making it low-diff for Gojo

>>279715052 (OP)
>It's so refreshing to see actually butch female characters.
yeah right.... KYS!!

>>279722671
Love the OP.

>>279715151

Would you?

>>279727132
Yeah

>>279724858
>Should have just let her stay dead
I think anyone who thought that she was dead at any point of the story is so retarded that they should be assigned legal guardians and prevented from voting. The real problem was keeping her in a coma for the rest of series until the climax instead of having her be a character.

Compilation volume of different essays. They are sometimes open to submissions from different authors. I submitted a chapter on Shiki after getting two publications over the past two years with the same people. It's likely this one will be published as well.

>>279727252
>The real problem was keeping her in a coma for the rest of series until the climax instead of having her be a character.
Oh, gee, where have I heard that one before?

>>279727322
In this case, it's more like the author pretended that Misaka died during the timeskip and then had none of the characters acknowledge it in any way until revealing right at the end "oh my god you guys she was alive all along! Can you believe it?!".

>nobara
>JJK
>faggotfaggot writing women
gaygay doesn't even like to write women. The only real woman of importance in JJK is MANki because she's "barely" man tier with 2 women's souls combined.

Real competent women?

>>279723364
I kneel. Take my (you)

Female characters who start off incompetent with a clear progression to competence are more interesting.

>>279727132
Absolutely

>>279725712
She does die for the majority of the manga, comes back and does nothing, fuck her.

>>279717515
Babies first Maka Alban

>>279727252
I knew the left the blatant clues, and general storytelling that she wasn't dead, but I thought maybe Gege was told by editorial to keep it ambiguous and that he'd eventually just let her stay dead, considering how she adds nothing by being alive after being gone for 60% of the story.

>>279715052 (OP)
Such a great return and comeback line. Nobara being back makes it a happy ending.

>>279723364
supreme taste, that's why I like her too

>>279715052 (OP)
>females can only be competent if they are physically equal to men
God I hate you emasculated faggots so much.

>>279727252
We're retarded? Not Gege bringing her back like five chapters before the end while everyone else was hanging on to a "maybe" from years ago?

Reminder that her return caused one anon to kill himself lmao

>>279730699
yes getting tricked by a retard makes you a retard

>>279731099
why

>>279731225
spent literal years spamming a pasta about how she was never coming back

>>279731257
I uhh only watched the episode where she died 2 days ago but it seemed like beyond obvious from the framing of it that she'd come back. Like I thought maybe there was a 5% chance she'd stay dead as an act of subversive writing

It's because she was manly.

>randomly becomes thanos

>>279731590
People just get very emotionally invested in being right or wrong.

>>279730696
Surprise. She isn't like that and that's not why we like her. She is fun and confident.

>>279717515
she's decently written for a "strong personality woman"
you already have a trillion of delicate moetrash flowers

>>279717515

I don't know what happened after shibuya but damn gege did some stupid shit

>>279731257
Lamer then that even. He spammed that nobody cared about her.

>>279732302
What the fuck happened to her? All I remember is that she was a moderately popular perflat waifu until her manga went down the shitter with faggotry. She probably could've been as popular as Megumin if her writer didn't cuck her with homos.

Because shounen anime is a fantasy and women aren't really competent in real life.

Same.

What did you write about in the essay, everyone's favorite character, Masao?

>>279715052 (OP)
Any Fairy Tail girl is more competent than Nobara, but people hate FT because it has "too much fanservice" or whatever

>>279715052 (OP)
This bitch was gone for years and appears in the last 5 chapters to join the round robin of literal who’s to fight the big bad. Gege just gender swaps a man and calls it a woman. All these girls are fight schizos and Manki is just fetish fuel for femdomfags. But at least the animation team did a good job making those mannish JJK girls look like actual girls, plus the tentbara is quite pleasing to the eye. Fairy Tail, Black Clover, and Soul Eater have the more competent women.

>>279732998
Is that her pussy being exaggerated?

>>279736227
People hate FT because nothing leading up to the end of the fights matter and the good guys win just because.

>>279717608
Literally everyone aside from maybe Miwa achieved more than Megumi. That bar is way too low to be proud of.

More about how the vampires are a recurring symbol in Japanese literature and cinema of otherness, usually western otherness. Foreigners that bust in and break everything, contaminate the culture and destroy the people. The Kirishikis in Shiki have a very European design, and even the main vampire is a Japanese girl that got bitten by an European. There's also how both groups come to despise each other but need to dehumanize their previously neighbours and family members to justify their extermination. Both groups also rely on a strong leader that directs them and absolves them of responsibility to be cruel to each other.

>>279715052 (OP)
pretty much my favorite female leads in shounen are pretty much just main characters of their own stories e.g. Jolyne, Ryuuko, Maka etc.

>>279736720
the sheer forces involved with ODM gear push her labia to its limits. It uh...doesnt come up much in the story.

>>279740899
>It uh...doesnt come up much in the story.
Darn shame. The series could have used some fanservice.

>>279715052 (OP)
Take her out of the story and literally nothing changes.
>b-but she did something to sukuna at the very end
They were already in the middle of "MC defeats the big bad" trope, her "contribution" was meaningless and never acknowledged by anyone she might as well stayed dead.

I swear JJK is like if you asked an AI to write shonen it's literally all tropes for the sake tropes

>>279731224
Oh, fuck you.

>>279715052 (OP)
Nobara really was just the Sakura of their group albeit not simping after the Sasuke equivalent. she had the biggest attitude but was irrelevant in every fight after the very beginning of the story except as a supporting role.

>>279732434
>what happened after shibuya
Gege fired his editor

>>279736227
She's a Mary sue tho, all FT girls are one note mary she's with hardly any short comings but being to stubborn to quit.

>>279720632
Soul Eater is fanservice slop catering to incels and pedophiles
JJK is a revolutionary battle shonen which focus more on the characters than on the fights

>>279737662
She's not a fighter mc, shes worthless compared to andy.

>>279715052 (OP)
What did she even do?

>>279715052 (OP)
My coworker even told me that she was super competent and an awesome female lead. Then she "dies" and comes back with a missing eye and saves the day because her power is op.

>>279746221
>Shows my greatest enemies artwork, a degenerate narusaku degenerate ntr sasuke hater
>pic related is the only best work hes done

I think the worst part about Nobara taking a nap for most of the story is that she didn't get to interact with the vast majority of the new characters. I feel like she'd have a funny dynamic with Yuki or Hana.

I like Nobara and partly Momo from Dandadan for the same reasons, because they're more like real girls; I love it when a character references Japanese shit in particular. I enjoyed the part at the very beginning when Nobara's all hyped up cause she's a hick who's visiting the city.
Momo is less genuine cause I assume that gyarus would be the most shallow and vapid retards imaginable but she's got that country girl shit going on and she's a bit more grounded than the usual female lead.
I've dated girls with a character like Momo IRL. I've always fucking hated the uguu moeblob shit. Especially the designated love interest for the faggot MC who's allergic to pussy, always the most bland wet rag of a character who's got fucking nothing going on except that retarded puppy aura. It's unironically something that only a fat kissless virgin who's never even talked to a girl would enjoy, for fuck's sake.
JJK is still shit tho

>>279750028
Agreed. Nobara would have been really fun with Hana and Yuki. Damn shame she'll never meet the latter.
I'd imagine her interactions with Hana would be very similar to the ones with Ozawa, except far more enthusiastic since she wouldn't be hiding her desire for Yuji

>>279737425
... Is not one of those characters

>>279715052 (OP)
Today I will remind them

>>279752575
>female cast
it's just Nobara really, everyone else is a regular anime character

>>279749287
That's not them being marysues, that's them being your average shonen fighter. Some of the biggest bitching about Erza was just her doing things that were done by Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya long ago.

>>279727132
