You can't just post this and not at least say which animes are referenced...

    In Overlord, there's also the one guy that just flies around in a sci-fi mecha suit.

    In a fantasy world.

    It's a pay to win mmo, what did you expect?

    They even mention “cash shop” items a fair bit throughout the series. It’s actually kind of funny that one of the items used a few times would essentially break combat in an actual MMO and he seems to have quite a few of them.

    Also: Mashle

    “Everyone has magic with rules, spells, ranks and techniques.”

    Mash: punches it harder.

    In case of Chainsaw Man, guns are very much part of the power system

    When those space pirates tried to shoot Krillin in the forehead and it just left a scorch mark

    In dragon Ball z, one dude actually managed to shoot Goku.

    Which is funny because in dragon ball mini goku had no problem with guns, just a little sting, which is the same reaction 300 episodes later, where he survives stupid as ki blasts which destroyed whole cities.

    OP watch Fate strange/fake. It's Fate in America. There is a particular scene near the beginning

    Is it about complexity though? Gachiakuta isn't complex at all (although pretty fun) and JJK is just random BS the author wrote on the fly (Makes for crazy visuals but you never know the stakes so it dampens tension a lot).

    It can be pretty funny, though. Especially in Gachiakuta's case. Really reminded me of the gun draw scene in Indiana Jones which probably popularized that joke.

    However I only found it upsetting in JJK's case and a little gut wrenching in Fate's case here. I didn't think those moments were supposed to be funny at all.

    In Bleach it wasn't very funny tbh, but it's also real that we had Quincies with their bows...
