 Since debuting in 1999, One Piece has quickly earned a reputation as one of the most popular fictional works in the world. Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates have spent over 1,000 episodes sailing across the Grand Line in their search for Gol D. Roger's long-lost treasure, and along the way, they have encountered a variety of fighters with devastatingly powerful abilities. However, as is often the case with powerful attacks, many of One Piece's strongest techniques suffer from serious drawbacks. Whether they incapacitate their user, damage their user's allies, or inspire some sort of unintended side effect, these drawbacks make their respective techniques a dangerous double-edged sword. Given Monkey D. Luffy's status as the protagonist of One Piece, it should come as no surprise that he wields some of the most overpowered abilities in the series. His patented Gear 3 and Gear 4 techniques are strong enough to take down the likes of Donquixote Doflamingo and Charl...

 Megumi Fushiguro was deemed a sorcerer with boundless potential by the Jujutsu Kaisen Society and his peers. He inherited the Zenin Clan's 10 Shadows, the strongest technique of the influential family. As such, Fushiguro's mentor, Gojo Satoru, has pushed him endlessly to achieve his potential, stating that his protégé's cursed technique could be just as powerful as his own Limitless and Six Eyes. Megumi has only managed to tame seven of the ten Shikigami that assist the technique and was almost killed by the strongest of the shadows, so he remains pretty far from mastering his power. Before he could prove his own potential, however, the evil Sukuna began using Fushiguro as a vessel and appears to have tamed some of the technique's remaining Shikigami. This means that two of the remaining three shadows are in the power of whomever wields the technique. Unfortunately, this has only made the King of Curses more formidable. Megumi Fushiguro's upbringing served him an o...

 Even years after its initial release, Death Note remains one of the most widely beloved manga ever made. Adapted multiple times to anime, film and television, the series tells the story of Light Yagami, an incredibly intelligent boy who stumbles upon a Death Note, a book that ends the life of any name written down in it. Death Note is notable for the great number of spin-offs that launched from the title -- full-blown, original stories that sprouted from the main story. Here is a list of all the various iterations and whether they are worth a watch. Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases by Nisio Isin was published in August 2006, placing it mere months after the series' proper conclusion in May 2006. The story is a prequel narrated by Mello, featuring a case L helped Naomi Misora solve in Los Angeles. Beyond Birthday is a violent killer who Naomi tracks down with the assistance of L. While L primarily talks to Naomi through a screen, as he does with the SPK in t...

 The sixth season of My Hero Academia seems to have ended on a fairly positive note. Deku finally got the rest he needed and he's ready to face the threat of Tomura Shigaraki and All For One with the help of his fellow Heroes and classmates. However, it's kind of a downer when one thinks about how this season ended as a win for those villains on the battlefield. This might have been fixed by the very next arc in the series, the Star and Stripe Arc. It would have been a place where the Heroes got one over on these villains and thus ended the season on a more positive note. Assuming Season 7 follows the manga, it should begin with a battle between Shigaraki and America's No. 1 Hero, Star and Stripe. It doesn't quite end with Star and Stripe winning, but it does end with Shigaraki losing. Whether this would have been a good place to end the sixth season depends on what reaction the anime wanted to get out of fans -- it's all about whether viewers feel properly satisfie...

 Naruto's highly impressive "Sasuke Retrieval" arc was built upon careful planning and jumpstarted the franchise into a new tone, narrative and meaning. At the center of this arc is Sasuke Uchiha's quest for revenge -- which proves to be a defining part of his character and a significant challenge for his closest allies. Upon building up the traumatic impact of Sasuke's past and his brother Itachi's massacre of their clan, the plot goes from the direction of uniting Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura together to tearing them apart as Sasuke begins to see his motivations are leading him down a different path from his friends. Despite the heartbreaking moment of Naruto failing to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, there are a number of reasons why Sasuke's escape was actually for the best. Though revenge is a controversial path, Sasuke definitely needed to face Itachi in some way, and only one person was willing to support him without any restrictions. Orochimaru was one o...

 There are two names repeatedly brought up when discussing the most powerful anime characters. First is Goku from the classic shonen series Dragon Ball. Second is Saitama from the highly popular One-Punch Man. Both leads are known for their immense strength and for defeating the strongest villains in each of their universes. The mere question "Who is stronger: Saitama or Goku?" begins inevitable fan wars in comments and threads. It seems fans of the latter tend to ignore the fact that Saitama is an overpowered hero in general. He's not just powerful, but is definitively stronger than any other heroes. Let's break down these two glaring differences between them and explain why Saitama is stronger than Goku. Saitama is a B-class hero and just a plain old human. He experiences everything an average human does and ages with time. Additionally, he has no special abilities like regenerative or magical powers. Goku, meanwhile, comes from an alien warrior race with superpower...

In Chapter 79 of the Boruto manga, a shocking turn of events with Kawaki makes the Hokage's son the main villain that Konoha has to murder. One of the most enthralling components in the Boruto manga has been the recent heel turn by Kawaki. Fans knew it was coming, as the flash-forward that started the series showed him and Boruto fighting atop the devastated Hokage Mountain. But it's never been revealed how they got there -- and nobody expected their rivalry to begin so soon. They've only just accepted each other as brothers, but Kawaki has turned on Naruto and Hinata. He trapped them in a secret dimension and then tried to kill Boruto, not wanting Momoshiki to possess Naruto's son again. Kawaki thinks it's for the greater good, but while he's truly betrayed the Hidden Leaf, a sudden bombshell in Chapter 79 has made Boruto the story's new villain. Boruto Becomes a Villain Thanks to Omnipotence When Kawaki tries to flee the likes of Shikadai in Chapter 79, Ei...
