** This can lead to the breaking of WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief for some. A lot of anime series [[{{Anvilicious}} have the message]] about bullied and oppressed minority, but to have this minority [[BullyingTheDragon to wield THAT amounts of power]] -- it's definitely stretching it a bit. Realistically the society in question ought to look more like [[Literature/LabyrinthsOfEcho Echo during the Age of Orders]] rather than "modern Tokyo but with magic".
