    Eh, he pops up here and there in manga and anime quite often. It's not that surprising when he's used.

    Maka and Soul took him out in the very first chapter/episode of Soul Eater.

    In Fate: Apocrypha he's a loli who is the amalgamation of all the aborted children of prostitues from Victorian London.

Besides, this dynamic also touches on the underlying theme of discrimination in Black Clover. As Asta put it, "Just because he's a Devil, doesn't mean that he's an evil guy." Plus, it was just as well that this occurred because realistically, Asta had nothing but words to confront the Devil with since he's currently powerless and down an arm.
    I'd forgotten that they were a bit more aggressive in their first meeting. But yeah, the second meeting was a peaceful agreement and now we've got this. We're probably just going to get to the part where they team up properly a lot faster than Naruto and Kurama did.

    I would also like to point out that in Ichigo's case he never really became buddy buddy with his inner demon. Both Zangetsus were a part of him, compared to Naruto and Asta who access powers from completely seperate entities, so Ichigo had to learn to find balance within himself and accept them as part of him rather than befriend them. Really, Ichigo's relationship with the Zangetsus is more similar to when Naruto fought the manifestation of his dark emotions rather than Naruto's relationship with Kurama.

    And then there's Deku whose inner spirits are just chill and encourage and help him to the best of their extent.

    I got into an argument with my husband, which led to a weird thought.

    What if there was a fighting game, like street fighter, only the combatants sparred with each other verbally? Argued, debated, parried with words - no actual physical fighting, except maybe their words manifested in some kind visual way, physical or otherwise.

    Could be interesting, thought I doubt it would see as well as Smash Brothers or Marvel v Capcom.

    When I get that realization I've done more brainstorming towards my stories than actually writing said stuff.



    ...Looks like I better flex my writing muscles than continue turning one of my character's martial arts master into more of this badass yet unsociable weirdo who lives in the woods punching down trees and beating up bears.

    Well in argument/ debate fighter in general 4 stuff.

    Ask questions
    Answer them
    Deflect/ defensive
    Lie

    Not saying anymore as it sounds like a topic for politics ( as that is how all the knuckleheads here are treating it. Seriously the Clinton vs Trump debate they treated it like WWe and were loud. So could not hear what they were saying.)

    Well, the doctor put me on antidepressants.

    Never taken any mind-affecting medication before. This should get interesting.

    There's actually an informal term for this among writers: It's called World Builder Disease. Pretty common affliction, alas.

    That's one for the computer game history books, though I never got a chance to play it.

    It was great humor and point/click adventure.

    And yes you won sword fights by insulting the other to the point they do not swing good anymore.

    gyro and johnny's "battle" against the stand, sugar mountain, might be the most unique stand battle in the whole series.

    havent read all of jojolion but that's how i feel about it.
