Because it has been overused to the point of losing its meaning?

It's particularly bad because it's meant to serve as a major reveal/twist... but always follows the same pattern which makes it completely fail to be a twist or have any substance.

There's actually three holes in a woman; the ass, the vagina, and the urethra.

I was just thinking about along the line of anus and vagina, actually.

...wait.

@Saiga - Is that really that common cliché? The only character I can recall is Kujo Jotaro from Jojo Part 3.

[up][up] If Adam's sword had punctured her kidney...Well, let's just say there'd be a hell of a lot more blood on the ground. Of the places you don't want to get stabbed, your kidneys are pretty high up on the list.

I mean, I legitimately can't think of a single example where someone's ability was revealed to be time-based?

Maybe the cliche he meant was that Time Manipulation is usually the most Bullshit ability available. That one i can agree

Speaking on Blake's stabbing:

It was too low to be in the kidney. However, the area she was stabbed in looked somewhere in the lower left-side stomach, closer to her hip. It either hit nothing of importance.... or the left side of her reproductive system.

I'm waiting for Weiss to combine time dilatation with summoning, and have the Knight use Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs on someone. Fancy poses and kiai optional.

[up][up]But the dragon has been frozen for more than 9 seconds... OH Crap!

[down]I was looking for that.

Yeah, I'm with Ninety on the whole "actually time manipulation powers" thing not really being a cliche. Unless it's really common in anime/manga?

The only anime I know where that happened was with Homura Akemi in Madoka. But we were never told she was teleporting, the audience assumed that was the case.

You know, I could actually see that; ie Ruby's semblance is actually time manipulation rather than just speed. If it's the "good" kind of time travel, that's basically the only way Pyrrha going to come back. But that would kinda be a Story-Breaker Power unless it was seriously limited.

Seriously though, I hope if they bring her back it isn't through time travel
