For Dragon Ball Super Characters under Bergamo (edit #2):

• Big Brother Worship: He's on the receiving end of it. Both Basil and Lavenda love their elder brother dearly.

• Weaksauce Weakness: Bergamo's Energy Absorption might make him a Mighty Glacier, but his durability doesn't rise alongside with his power. So even if he is able to tank attack's from an opponent of equal in power. Anyone that is stronger than him will still be able to harm him even if he absorbs the power of the blows. In layman's terms.He is only absorbing the power of the blow's, not nullifying the damage at the same time when doing so..

• Shout-Out: His Energy Absorption is a mixture of the powers of several energy absorbing mutants.

Okay. I'll try again.

For Spliced.

• Hair-Trigger Temper
  • Two-Legs Joe has very little patience when Peri and Entree are around, which usually results in him stomping on them.
  • But Peri is not much calmer. As seen in "Poosh and The Quest for the Blargy Parble", when he gets red with anger at Entree for essentially violating his home, and in "Two Arms Joe", when in one scene he just seems slightly annoyed, but abruptly goes Ax-Crazy. It goes on for 30 seconds, but it's still hard to watch, and the face he makes does not help.
• Nightmare Face: In "Two Arms Joe" Peri suddenly gives Joe an insanely angry look. It has everything: Clenched Teeth, bulging eyes and an insanely feral look.
  Peri: ARMS.......... NOW! *bites*

again, what now?

@xxlogos

• doesn't rise alongside with -> doesn't rise along with
• he is able to tank attack's -> he is able to tank attacks
• opponent of equal in power -> opponent of equal power

• In layman's terms. <- This is a sentence fragment and not really needed.
• power of the blow's -> power of the blows
• damage at the same time when doing so.. -> damage while doing so.

• Shout-Out: His Energy Absorption is a mixture of the powers of several energy absorbing mutants.

For My Hero Academia

• World of Buxom: Downplayed, women doesn't have ridiculously big boobs like in other mangas, but when every girl has the Most Common Super Power, even Jirou is well filled and consider that the main heroines are 15s, this trope is in play.

• Downplayed, women doesn't have -> Downplayed. Women don't have
• and consider that the main heroines are 15s -> and the main heroines are in their mid-teens

While I am a native English speaker and consider myself at least a decent writer, I'm pretty sure I have some issues with minor things (pretty sure I comma splice a lot without realizing) don't recall my grammar rules as well as I would like.

I just added this to VideoGame.Fire Emblem Heroes, though upon review it looked a bit stiff.

• Mood Whiplash: After Xenologue 1 is completed, a cutscene plays where Veronica asks the mystery man to have tea with her. He declines and instead asks Veronica about how she's been feeling, which leads to her talking about a voice in her head that compels her to kill people. think I messed up subject stuff and would like somebody to look this over.

Whoever answers, please tag me.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

For One-Punch Man —> Characters —> other characters P.s. i'm temporarily suspended, so if someone can do the edits, please.

First for the tournament contestants as a whole (yes, possibly a new folder)

• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Literally, almost all of them have an ego far superior to their abilities.
• Face–Heel Turn: Some decided to eat the monster cell and become a misterious being, it was a Join or Die situation, but they didn't think through this decision too much.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Those who faced Saitama or Suiryuu didn't have a chance to show their true potential.

For Volten

• Supernatural Martial Arts: Combines classic hand-to-hand combat with his electric powers.

For Zakos:

• Smug Snake: Claims to be very strong, but the announcer doesn't have an high opinion of him, and was defeated easily. Tough the opponent was Saitama.

For Lin Lin:

• The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female contestant of the tournament.

For Deadpool (Self Demonstrating page)

• Popularity Power
  • I gave another demonstration to Gwen Poole, another fourt-wall breaker character like me (an human girl that like comics and is sucked in Marvel universe). That silly girl assumes she'll be safe since I was a guest-star in her own book and Plot Armor would protect her. So, I inflicted to her and her team a Curb-Stomp Battle combined with a long "Reason You Suck" Speech that remember her WHO AM I while she is just a minor character that causal readers mistaken for another version of Gwen Stacy..
  Deadpool: I've had hundreds of issues. I don't know how many series. I guest appear everywhere. Comics, video games, TV shows, and lets's not forget, the highest grossing R-Rated film of all time. You however, first appeared as a back-up in Howard the Duck because they weren't sure if anyone would like you. You are the last person who can kill me.

  • She had also the courage to say that don't like read MY COMICS because I'm too lol, memes!. Despite has stealed half of my name and part of my costume (the other from Spider-Gwen). Ok, now It's Personal.

For Dragon Ball Super -> Characters -> Zamasu -> Merged Zamasu: (With corrections from Arivne)

Just wanted to add a few things in Zamasu's folder.

• Power Fist: His mutated right arm acts as one, giving him more power and the ability to create shockwaves with just the swing of his arm. Vegeto gets spooked when he senses the first blow from it and gets the fuck out of the way when he tries to punch him with it.

• Groin Attack: It's hard to see because the of lighting. after Zamasu wins the Punch Parry struggle, he punches Vegeto in the dick with his enlarged fist, knocking him out for a few seconds.
  • But since Karma was finally about to catch up with Zamasu for the crap he has done. He ends up on the receiving end of one by Future Trunks, who cleaves him in half vertically starting at his groin. With a ki blade powered by the combined energy of everyone still alive left on Earth.

• Mighty Glacier: As Zamasu unravels physically and mentally, he gains a variant of Cell's Power-weighted form. Unfortunately history repeats itself, and he ends up becoming Vegeto's personal punching bag for the duration of his fusion as it costs him the speed to even hit him.

• Not So Different: Zamasu in this form actually have a lot in common with Cell. Both:
  • Consider themselves the perfect/ultimate life form and believe all others are inferior to them.
  • Have some of Goku's cells in them.
  • Possess a powerful Healing Factor that makes them damn hard to kill.
  • Bulked up after getting desperate and becoming slower as a result.
  • Killed Goku and took somethingfrom him. Cell gained his instant Transmission, Zamasu stole his entire body.
• The only difference is that Zamasu was born naturally and seeks to kill all life for the sake of "justice", while Cell is a Bio-Android who holds no illusions about being evil and wants a good fight along with the genocide he commits, not to mention both are green skinned villains.

For Zamasu in general:

• The Extremist Was Right: The scary thing is, had Zamasu not breached decorum and done things hisown way, but instead stated his grievances with mortals to Zen'O or The Grand Priest, he would have most likely being able to lawfully eradicate mortals, as he would have learned about the mortality rank system and how he could work within it while being under the watch of the Top God. Essentially Zamasu would have been able to carry out his goals if he weren't so selfish and had learned to be more patient.

• Hidden Depths: And not in a good way. Zamasu's growing mental instability and eventual transformation to a bodiless being of madness represents the core of who he really is: a sadistic, narcissistic psychopath that seeks to consume all existence because he thinks he is the only good person left in reality. All his talk about justice and good means jack, because he clearly doesn't have the empathy needed to understand what those concepts truly mean.

I'm going to add a possible Hilarious in Hindsight entry in Naruto:

• Hilarious in Hindsight: Naruto: Heroes Path from Snafu Comics already guessed the correct answer about who the main trio will end up with. Both canon and fanon stories agreed that Naruto will end up with Hinata while Sasuke and Sakura will hook up with each other.

"I'm going to add a possible Hilarious in Hindsight entry" - According to Examples Are Not Arguable, something is either an example or it isn't. If you're not sure, it isn't.

For Killer Instinct -> Characters -> Shin Hisako: (edit:2 with pointers from Arivne)

Arrogant Kung Fu Gal: Oh, so true now. She is no longer driven by vengeance.

Ascended Demon: She became a Kami after she received her father's katana. Yeah, you hear that right.

Character Development: Now that Hisako has gotten her vengeance against Ultracorp, she is no longer driven by rage. Revealing her original personality prior to her death.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: She is stronger yet calmer now. Messing with her clan's grave again would be the biggest mistake anyone could do in their life, and we have all seen what she is capable of as Original!Hisako. Sadira and Aira learn that the hard way.

Pride: Shin Hasako is more or less her old self in Kami form. It's safe to say that had she swallowed it when she was alive she would have averted the death of her family

Jerk with a Heart of Gold:Haughty and prideful, but she cares about her clan and is the newly appointed defender of the astral realm.

Nightmare Face: She may have dropped the Thousand-Yard Stare. but by God can her excised facial expressions be scary.

Limp and Livid: Subverted. She's got a better posture, but she is still hunched and leaning on the flat end of her sword.

Smug Smiler: Flashes more than a few confident smirks now that she is no longer in Unstoppable Rage Mode.

Slasher Smile: Reveals a fucking scary one in her intro. Her intro quote and sharp fangs do not help matters, but she could just be trolling people for the heck of it because she is much more sane now (?).

Hidden Depths: As much of a bitch as she reveals herself to be now that she is no longer blinded by rage. The fact that Original!Hisako went to great lengths to restore the graves of her clan shows that she cares a great deal about them and She didn't object at all to becoming a defender of the astral realm when her father asked her to do so, showing that she wants to make up for her mess ups in life she did in life by doing more that she ever did as a vengeful ghost.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Original!Hisako is this to her, as she was practically drunk on rage.

I'm going to add a Better Than Canon entry for The Nutshack:

• Better Than Canon: It's common for people to consider a single piece of the show's fanart to be better than the entire show itself.

While grammatical, that is a violation of our rule on "general" examples because it gives no specifics. Also, fanart being "better than canon" is nonsensical, unless the work its itself merely still images.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Post 3476 says "Wes’s death -> Wes’ death", but apostrophe-s was already correct. It is a common misconception among native English speakers that all words ending in the letter s should be made possessive by s-apostrophe, but it's only plural words ending in the letter s that should be made possessive by s-apostrophe.

You can somewhat verify this by comparing the written to the spoken, which are usually in agreement: "Wes's" has two syllables. On the other hand, the second word of "these posts' content" has one syllable.

^Disclaimer : There are exceptions and objections to many English grammar "rules", especially minutiae. Most style guides etc agree with this, though, e.g. [1], [2], [3] & [4], [5]
