No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I recently finished Blue-Eyed Samurai, and Mizu's increasingly powerful plot armor comes very close to ruining the whole show.
spoiler
They make a point of inflicting fairly realistic injuries, and of showing the required treatment, and in the early going they even need time to heal, but the farther we get into the plot, the more intense and more frequent the injuries, while at the same time the less time it takes for Mizu to heal enough to function at a superhuman level. The arrow through the ankle is one that comes to mind. It's not that there's anything wrong with power-fantasy anime (or anime-adjacent animation), but it felt like a bait and switch, especially since no one else seems to have it so the stakes end up yawningly low.I disagree because
Blue Eye Samurai isn't realistic, it's authentic. Recall the thousands of arrows falling on Mizu during the ambush. The fucking sword bounce. The absurd technology and traps in Elijah's house.This isn't a realistic depiction of feudal Japan, this is an authentic depiction of feudal Japan. It's a show about how this period felt to live in. And people in feudal Japan believed in onryo. Mizu is an onryo. As their quest for vengeance progresses and they suffer more punishment, they become more and more obviously supernatural.
