The recent assclass baseball one was surprisingly good.
>>123922366
I love it when the villain is portrayed as a nice guy with a tragic back-story.

>>123922585
I love it when the villain is the one who's right.
Or when the villain is the actual hero and we didn't know that since we were watching it from the biased perspective of the protagonist who's actually evil.

Yeah that annoys me. It's kind of a bummer that heroes in manga don't lose a lot. Zoro/Mihawk and Gash/Barry were great fights and set the scale for the rest of the series.
>Massively overpowered hero and villain both conveniently sidelined so the second-stringers can duke it out
>>123931282
Shin Mazinger did it right.
>>123934805
You know. that actually would've been pretty nice instead of throwing Temari at him because reasons.
>>123932354
I can't, But Rising X rydeen is similar, although I've only ever read the manga, which isn't even completed yet.
This sort of development should be used more often.
