openValid or not? Spoilers for the My Hero Academia movie. Anime
InsanePryomanic removed an entry I had made regarding the usage of Foreshadowing in the My Hero Academia Movie, My Hero Academia: The Two Heroes. His reasoning being; "doesn't make sense, 3 of them besides wolfram use their quirks, and guns are still deadly if your name isnt Kirashima or All Might. A lot of people in MHA world don't have super effective combat quirks. A Lso the heroes took down the mooks too fast to tell anything about them."
I explained why this example made sense within the film and readded it. I should of discussed it further which would fit as an edit war and I should of done so, so I made a mistake on that. After however, InsanePryomanic readded it after adding a note to the discussion saying: "Foreshadowing section on mooks using guns is grasping for straws, to the point of not making any sense."
The passive-aggressive attitude does not help but the user failed to explain how this does not count. The example below is the entry he removed most recently (October 26th at 2:00pm). I even acknowledge some errors in the original entry and tweaked it to make more sense. Nobody else has mentioned this isn't an example so I wanted to ask here if this is considered a valid example.
"The villains use firearms instead of their Quirks to threaten the Pro Heroes, and only resort to using Quirks when they are away from the Pro Heroes they have hostage, namely when in the security room, or when dealing with the students. Given how rare it is to be Quirkless, the fact that the villains use firearms while dealing with the hostages and actively seem to be hiding their Quirks from the Pro Heroes, yet use their Quirks when dealing with the students seems odd until The Reveal that the villains were originally actors who played the part of villains. This can also be seen with the films main villain Wolfram, who uses a firearm for most of the movie, until he reveals his plan to double-cross David Shield."
I can concead if it ends up not being a point but InsanePryomanic is acting like this is illogical to assume and is acting as if it is 100% not an example without clarifying why since his first reason is incorrect and does not explain how this is not an example.

openNaruto: Cleanup on Sakura's character page Anime
A while ago, some entries from Sakura's character page were contested for various reasons, mostly their (frankly absurd) length and minor character bashing. There was a brief discussion, but it died out and the problem remains, so I'm asking for advice before I try to tackle them.
These are: Character Development, Faux Action Girl, and Manipulative Bitch.

openPage on Emergence (Manga)? Anime
I did a search for the doujin Emergence (also known as Metamorphosis) just out of curiosity in order to see what kind of tropes you were able to find within it... and I noticed that there wasn't a page for it. I was considering making a page for it due to it being a massive case Porn with Plot, especially since it is a rather noticeable doujin, having its own Know Your Meme page and everything, but I wasn't sure about it due to the rules about adult content here. If you've read it, then you know what I'm talking about.
I did read through the guidelines about your restrictions on covering H-content, including the rules created by 5P, but I wasn't really able to come to a decision by myself due to the fact that there are some pages about h-content while others get immediately nuked, so I figured that I'd post a thread here to ask if a page for this doujin would be acceptable before I make a page for it myself.
Edited by FEARattataopenDoes this allow for inversions? Anime
Does Oblivious Adoption allow for inversions?
- Doraemon: Inverted. In "Noby's Birthday", Noby thinks he's adopted and that Tammy and Toby just found him. It's obvious that Tammy and Toby are his true parents, but Noby doesn't believe this due to how his parents treat him. In the end, he realizes that Tammy and Toby are his true parents.
I think it allows for inversions, but I'm not sure and I don't want to shoehorn anything.

Edited by eschlowxopen One Punch Man edit war over whether Saitama is Strong And Skilled or Unskilled, But Strong Anime
A troper by the name of croga and I are edit-warring over whether the main character of One-Punch Man, Saitama, is Unskilled, but Strong or Strong and Skilled.
I'm arguing that Saitama is Unskilled, but Strong. He shows enough skill to properly hold back when he needs to, and when Boros punts him from Earth to the moon he has enough precision to jump back and land in the same spot... but in battle, Saitama's defining trait is his absurd raw power, not his skill, and his speed in battle is undercut by his lack of finesse and tendency to lose his balance.

I was on the Subbing Versus Dubbing page and there seems to be a lot of complaining about dubbing on it, with quite a few snarky or irrelevant comments, to me anyway. Would it be possible for someone else to have a look at it and see if it comes across as that to them, please?
open Need help Finding Correct Trope Anime
There's a death trope I'm searching for, but I don't know the exact name and the index is huge, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. It's where someone is afraid of dying. The closest one I've found is I Don't Want to Die, but according to the trope description, it only applies to heroic characters and is more about the phrase itself.
The one I'm looking for is for someone who's terrified of dying (almost as if it's a phobia), to the point of either thinking about it constantly, or spending most of/their entire lives doing everything they can to prolong their very existence. I need it so I can update the Kamigari character page for Maken-ki!. Any help would be appreciated.

openPokemon Anime subpage help Anime
Over on Heartwarming.Pokemon Anime, the folder for the Sun/Moon series—and only Sun/Moon—is organized not only by series/season, as the rest of the page is, but episode-by-episode. This makes the folder even longer and doesn't look attractive, and I had previously attempted to delete at least the episode numbers and consolidate redundant examples (IE one bullet point was 'Everyone encourages Litten to master a move' and another was 'Everyone cheers when Litten masters a move' which I combined into 'Ash and friends encourage Litten to master a move and celebrate when it finally does'.) and posted the results in the clean-up thread for episodic troping.
Recently, however, people have been adding the episode numbers back and making the page longer as more and more examples from S/M specifically are added. What should be done? The entire Alola folder is as big as Kanto through Unova combined and we're only 87 episodes in.

First, the "Characters" sub-page for Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet has an edit lock for seemingly no reason. The anime adaptation is coming soon, so we need to unlock it.
Second, I think this site prefers to use the official english title for japanese works, right? In that case shouldn't the page be renamed "Boarding School Juliet"?
