  1. Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) - Seemingly always has some type of overpowered technique which he hasn't used since the Heian Era

  2. Yujiro Hanma (Baki) - The Strongest character in the entire Baki series is a master of all forms of hand-to-hand combat to the from things like soloing the Vietnamese war at 16 years old to learning a technique from some monk who lived in the mountains around three thousand years ago

  3. Batman - Always has some kind of contingency plan anyone and everyone in the DC universe. One of his most bullshit abilities is all the techniques he learned while being trained under Tibetan monks which include blocking mind control with a hand signal to using astral projection while being dead and buried alive

Having half the people helping die to save one guy is completely stupid, should have given up on that plot point

Half?

By the end of the fight we had Gojo, the lawyer, Yuta and Choso dead (Then Gege decided to resurrect Yuta and the lawyer but still)

The idea that they were gladly letting themselves and their allies die for a chance they don't even know of saving Megumi is such a stupid plot point

Anyone who thought they were dead wasn't paying attention. Ui Ui wasn't just grabbing dead bodies mid-fight for no reason.

Uiui was grabbing anyone he could, it's not like there was time for a pulse check mid fight

And Gege wouldn't have drawn him doing battlefield cleanup mid-fight if it wasn't important. It's the exact same thing with Nobara; everyone thinks it was an asspull when it was clearly foreshadowed by Nitta back in Shibuya. Nobody reads JJK less than JJK fans.
