THIS. THIS FUCKING TROPE.
I find it strange that so much of anime is about the power fantasy of improving yourself, often with the help of some externality, until the protagonist can become self reliant. Then it turns out they are the ancient ubermensch and they can just clap everyone in existence. Maybe it was always about the power fantasy of complete domination for these otaku/weebs? :thinkin-lenin:
