At least Genesis has interesting plotlines, moral lessons, variety, interesting magic systems; if it were an anime it would be a groundbreaking original masterpiece.
This 200 million warrior power level shit is literally Dragon Ball Z.

There is nothing as cringe as this shit in Genesis, lmao.
This reads like the powerlevels debates in the youtube comments of anime videos. It reads like it's written by a 12 year old, holy shit.

Genesis is mostly about Abraham/Isaac/Jacob doing the same thing over and over again, none of which was that exciting.

Genesis has 11 chapters of genealogies. Obviously I was exaggerating, you autist, but it's a lot.

[Anonymous No.18047602]

It doesn't have them clumped together.
Besides, genealogies are infinitely more respectable than literal powerlevel debates, kek.

The Jacob arc would be based. The Hikkikomori BTFOing his jock brother with the help of his big titty mom. Hell the hentai adaptation would be lit.

what is easterners obsession with really big numbers? it seems whenever western stuff needs to apeal to something big it simply says “inumberable” or “infinite” or “all powerful” or simply “grate” instead of feeling the need to give a specific number. Not that its always the case, but it seems to be a difference in trend.

>>18047496
It says god created everything, it didnt feel the need to say he creaded 650,409,300,200, stars or whatever, he created all this shit in 7 days and doesnt give a specific quantitative top of his power.

at least with genisis you only need to read the first person in the list and the last person since they are the only people that show up, with hindu shit you need to know whoo all these cunts are and then they list all their fucking powers

poojuna: mighty armed one, snake slayer, women sex god, good climber, swimmer of the sea, curry enjoyer, slayer of 50 armies in mount shitmypants, son of Shitlargeet, brother of mighty Coomahkeemji the 12 eyeed.
and then there is coomahkeemki: the 12 eyeed, seer of far away places, long distance runner, javalin thrower, man of walking every where, enjoyer of feasts, knower of sex positions, lover of bobs and vagin, champion of shivas left testicle. literally for 30 pages.

Inherent weakness of polytheism, you can't play tall you have to play wide and keep adding more stuff. See Greeks with Titans, then Olympians, and various offsprings etc. Or Orthodox that have to keep adding new gods, erm I mean saints every year in order to keep their mana pool fresh.

The East is more concerned with quantity than quality. You can even see this reflected in their staple food. Bread vs rice. It’s also because the orient is more feminine, and women are smaller than men and more concerned with small details, which exact numbers are.

[Anonymous No.18049502]

Quantity is the best quality is a phrase I do agree with. Perhaps it's a reflection of my Indian heritage :)

>You see Frieza, you're not dealing with the average warrior anymore. I AM A MAHAMAHARATHI! That's right Frieza, I have risen beyond the limits of a normal warrior, and into the realm of legend. The legend that you fear. The legend known throughout the entire universe as the most powerful warrior to ever exist. I, Prince Pajeeta, have become a Mahamaharathi!

This is nothing, have you seen the Astra? I genuinely believe anime is influenced by hindu mythology. See:

In Hinduism, an astra (Sanskrit: अस्त्र) was a supernatural weapon, presided over by a specific deity and imbued with spiritual and occult powers that caused its effect or impact. Later the word came to denote any weapon which was used by releasing it from one's hand (e.g. an arrow), as opposed to being used while held like a sword (Shastra).

To summon or use an astra required use of a specific incantation or invocation. The deity invoked would then endow the weapon with supernatural powers, making it impossible to counter through regular means. Specific conditions existed involving the usage of astras, the violation of which could be fatal. Because of the power involved, the knowledge involving an astra was passed in the Guru-shishya tradition from a Guru (teacher) to a Shishya (pupil) by word of mouth alone, and only following the establishment of the student's character. Certain astras had to be handed down from the deity involved directly, knowledge of the incantation being insufficient.

Brahmastra:

In ancient India, the Brahmastra (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मास्त्र, IAST: Brahmāstra) and its variants, the Brahmashirsha astra and the Brahmanda astra were supernatural weapons used in the war of Mahabharata and are collectively called Brahma weapons. The Brahmashirsha astra was a weapon that was said to be able to destroy the world, capable of destroying creation and vanquishing all beings. It is one of the most destructive, powerful and irresistible weapons mentioned in Hinduism. These weapons are all created by Lord Brahma, except for brahmanda-astra.

It is termed as a fiery weapon that creates a fierce fireball, blazing up with terrible flames and countless horrendous thunder flashes. When discharged, all nature including trees, oceans, and animals tremble, and the sky surrounds with flame, glaciers melt and mountains shatter with copious noise all around.

When used, the Brahmastra can destroy every useful resource in a given area and prevent even a single blade of grass from ever growing in that area again. There will be no rainfall for 12 Brahma years (1 Brahma year = 3,110,400,000,000 Human years) and climate condition will worsen. The strike of the Brahmastra will eventually destroy everything.

Sudarshan Chakra:

The Sudarshana Chakra (सुदर्शन चक्र) is a spinning, disk-like weapon literally meaning "disk of auspicious vision," having 108 serrated edges used by the Hindu god Vishnu or Krishna.

The Sudarshan Chakra is not thrown. With will power it is sent against the enemy. It rotates very fast after leaving the finger and chases the enemy. The Chakra is described to have spikes in two rows moving in opposite directions to give it a serrated edge. It has tremendous occult and spiritual power to destroy everything. Nobody can stand against its power.

It is believed that once the divine chakra has destroyed its enemy, it returns to the attacker. This means that even after the launch, it remains within the control of the warrior. It travels along the path of zero stress nature and can reach anywhere within a moment. Sudarshan Chakra is silent and when an obstruction is posed in its way, the speed of the discus amplifies.

Narayastra:

The Narayanastra (Sanskrit: नारायणास्त्र, romanized: nārāyaṇastra) (or Narainastra) was the personal weapon of Lord Vishnu in his Narayana form. This astra ("weapon" in Sanskrit) in turn fires a powerful tirade of millions of deadly missiles simultaneously. The intensity of the shower rises with increase in resistance. The only way to defend against the missile is to show total submission before the missiles hit, this in turn will cause this weapon to stop and spare the target. It is one of the six 'Mantramukta' weapons that cannot be resisted.

And there are many more astras just as absurd.
