movie night
You’re a mimic. You were disguised as a chair in a dungeon when an adventurer decided to take you as loot. You’ve actually enjoyed your life ever since as furniture in a jolly tavern. So when some ruffians try to rob the now-elderly adventurer’s business, you finally reveal yourself.
When your dramatic name reveal is overshadowed by some jeans dude who was supposed to be dead
when your spectacular return from the dead is overshadowed by some temporarily quirkless guy stealing your thunder
when you just revealed that you got your quirk back after everyone thought you had to give up on your dream of being a hero and some angry kid yelling his hero name steals your show
when you just told people your hero name after your refused to say it for months and the focus gets taken away from you because some villain takes his mask of
Had this idea when i saw the vol 21 back cover :'^)
The reason why this question comes up is because Fukuchi is built up very heavily, as an incredible fighter and as a big boy villain. In comparison, Aya is a self described incredibly average girl with no special traits. So the question goes, how did Aya outsmart Fukuchi?
1. Fukuchi isn’t actually built up to be smart. Fukuchi is strong as hell, he is the perfect soldier, he can take down armies, he is Fukuzawa’s equal or greater. But he has never won because he was particularly clever. He wins because he has the overpowered weapons, the element of surprise, and a very good ability (+hunting dogs surgeries). This is not to undermine his overwhelming combat prowess but he is just a little stupid! Do not be fooled by his confusing time shenanigans! This man is more himbo than you think.
You can skip to the next reason but I don’t want to sound like I’m making unbased claims so here is why I think he’s (as stated) a little stoop:
In his first ‘battle’ we see he almost frees his own prisoner, his second battle he wins because of time shenanigans (where at the end he is outsmarted, if by chance), he mistakes a tracking device for a flash drive, he didn’t foresee being found out by Ranpo despite knowing the ADA, he is bested by his own subordinate in battle and again only wins because of time shenanigans, this is a small one but he literally monologues his plan! Bitch what if that tracking device was also a recorder!! Old man doesn’t understand technology. His own subordinate who he expected to betray him gets a hit on his neck, and even after beating said subordinate he didn’t even know then that there was anyone else was in the room, and etc.
2. The encounter of outsmarting was very short, probably under a minute in between Fukuchi finding out someone was in the room, and Fukuchi being called away. I have no doubt that if there were any more time Aya would be dead, but great luck was on her side, very simply.
3. If during his whole fight with Jouno he didn’t realize Aya was there, then him not realizing Aya was in the coffin isn’t that unlikely. Especially since the sound of breathing and rustling would just sound like Bram. Even with the heightened hunting dog senses he isn’t Jouno, he can’t parse different heartbeats.
4. This ties into the first, but he is used to high combat situations. He is not used to these types of encounters (he has subordinates for the grunt work of killing witnesses) so non-head on fights would catch him by surprise. Aya’s moves are so simple that that is what claims her victory in the end.
All of these are theoretical but I find Fukuchi’s constant running into small evil plan inconveniences situation to be hilarious, which is beautiful because it’s even more surprising then that he’s actually the closest to taking over the world and doing the most damage any character ever has. Fukuchi as a villain is Fyodors opposite, where Fyodor has the all encompassing vibe of having everything planned out, Fukuchi has small issues constantly stopping him. While Fyodor commands total respect from his subordinates, 3/4 of Fukuchi’s have gone against his plan in some way (two directly betraying him). Where Fyodor killed nobody noteworthy, Fukuchi has killed 3 well established strong characters. Fukuchi being bested by a 10 year old is the biggest highlight of their differences: where Fyodor’s plans are a graceful sword slash, Fukuchi’s plans are a bashing mallet.
i kind of think tecchou would eat soap anyway but for the sake of the joke
ok hear me out: scaramouche is a trans man. i mean why the fuck would there be a male puppet when the electro archon (i dont even know which is which anymore i literally call every version baal) can literally make one that resembles her 100%? idk but that doesnt really make sense to me, even if he was a prototype. so in conclusion, trans scara is canon bc i said so /hj
low effort low quality memes from a classic video
I have a feeling someone did this already but anyway AHHA
