@matrix What's really OP is the power of friendships forged through hatred.
@ArdanianRight @matrix I kinda liked how Mekaku City Actors handled the "power of friendship" thing. That anime was complete fucking garbage and not worth watching, one of the worst anime I've ever seen, but it did have a cool twist - the villain was abusing one of the main character's power of friendship asspulls to his own advantage. I can't remember the exact setup for it, but iirc, one of the MCs had some gay power of friendship asspull power that let her rewind time whenever her friends died and start an alternate timeline. Main villain was some weird sadist who could keep his memory in between time resets for some reason, so he'd torture and kill all her friends, then she'd use her power of friendship asspull to rewind time, everyone but the villain would forget everything, then he'd kill them all in a different way, then she'd rewind again, and so on. It was a really cool concept and would've probably been great if it wasn't only brought up like 3 minutes before the end of the last episode of the series, without any implication that this has been happening beforehand.
Who the fuck decides to do an anime focused on time loops without actually showing any loops?

@matrix the big storytelling benefit is that anger causes you to lose perspective, which permits misunderstandings that are obvious to the audience but plausibly missed by the seething actors.
@matrix My protagonist who is the leader of the Black Sea Bratva uses his hatred for rival gangs (especially the Crimean Tatars of the Girai Mafia) to keep his daughter and Odessa safe from harm. He was so angry at three Girai envoys from the Crimean Tatar mafia, who showed him disrespect towards him and his daughter, so angry that he busted a blood vessel in his brain, giving him a stroke.
But luckily he survived that.
