The Fourth-Placers' Revenge
3/10. While darkening the tone has its place, you shouldn't have to distort the existing story for it.
I like cute things. You gotta deal with it.

4/10. Sometimes a bad guy's defeat and subsequent death is the only way to save the day. Though some heroes I do like have a Thou Shalt Not Kill rule.

9/10. It’s a really epic trope when done right, and it’s (almost) always used greatly.

9/10 It works pretty well.
10/10 Great example of Rule of Cool.

5/10 I don't mind if it's used for Deliberate Values Dissonance or historical accuracy, but otherwise I'm not a fan of it.

6/10. I am not a big fan of languange blending due to sounding unrealistic (but not neccessarily being so), or just plain weird, especially to fluent speakers. That said, moments like "ZA WARUDO" are unforgettable.

You keep using the term "POV". I do not think it means what you think it means.
