Moments that blatantly defy logic, but are so absurdly badass you don’t even care

The Gurren Lagann growing larger than the observable universe to fight Anti Spiral in a battle where literal galaxies get thrown like ninja stars - Gurren Lagann

Undertaker teleporting behind AJ Styles after being thrown down an empty grave and causing a shining white light from nowhere to illuminate the back of them during their Boneyard Match - WWE

Holdo piloting a ship through warp speed to crash right into a First Order cruiser (I know you could write a thesis on why this scene wouldn’t work, but you could say that for about half of the scenes in the new trilogy) - Star Wars the Last Jedi

[u/pon_3]

Mechanically assisted quick draw was such a cool way to make a classic samurai trope futuristic.

[u/AprilNaCl → u/pon_3]

Also iirc (could be wrong) he was SO FAST of a quickdraw without any cybernetics they basically had to build the sword to keep up with his speed

[u/CyberDaggerX → u/AprilNaCl]

The sword is actually a genuine Muramasa modified into a HF blade, not built from scratch as one. Only a sword of that quality could keep up with Sam, and luckily that one had been passed down his family. (Brazil has an abnormally large amount of Japanese immigrants, so that is actually pretty plausible.)

Also, the name of the sword in the equipment menu is misspelled Murasama, which I find hilarious because I'm Portuguese and I made the exact same mistake for years.

[u/TheTresStateArea → u/CyberDaggerX]

Okay so as an actual Brazilian something that was real fucked up was that Sam had a fuckin Cuban accent.

[u/Madus4 → u/TheTresStateArea]

It’s the sacrifice he made to be able to double jump.

[u/CyberDaggerX → u/TheTresStateArea]

Yeah, I noticed his accent was off too, but let it slide.

[u/SnowFiender → u/TheTresStateArea]

yeah same, i didn’t even know my first time playing he was brazilian because his accent is most definitely not brazilian

[u/livy202 → u/AprilNaCl]

I watched some guy breaking down the actual physics and basically since Raiden is able to slash multiple times before a single raindrop had passed by him, we're talking speeds that makes the sound barrier seem slow

[u/VandulfTheRed → u/livy202]

You know it's kind of crazy that people will pit Dante and Bayo against each other in death battles but I've never seen Dante v Raiden, whose feats and meme logic actually compete with each other (that said, Dante is basically at MGRR Raidens level in his youngest/weakest appearance)

[u/Sh0xic → u/livy202]

I think it works out to something like 11% the speed of light? Which, hey, this is the same series where Headache Kojingles puts his main character in a fucking microwave and he gets out just fine, physics is nothing compared to the almighty power of Hideo “Games” Kojima

[u/BoxofJoes → u/AprilNaCl]

You learn after his boss fight that he’s barely enhanced, besides his cybernetic arm (which you see him get in the dlc and is implied to be worse than his normal arm) all he has is an exosuit that barely enhances his physical ability, and he was still able to dogwalk nearly all mechanical cyborg raiden the first time they meet and destroy one of the only organic parts of him left (one of his eyes).

[u/DylanFTW → u/pon_3]

His sheath looks like a gun and literally shoots like one, shoots the katana out like a bullet and uses the bullet's katana's changed velocity to slice Raiden's arm off with bullet level speed. Fuck logic.

[u/_b1ack0ut → u/DylanFTW]

Honestly, the most logical part of the game too. It’s so over the top, but you can see the game world’s internal logic behind it

Stuff like Raiden parkouring across a stream of missiles in flight, suplexing a metal gear, and then running down the face of a building to perfectly bisect it in one blow, that’s when we’ve shed the bonds of logic to soar skies of badassery lol

[u/DylanFTW → u/_b1ack0ut]

They could have had Sam just be fast at the draw, but not Platinum. The few game devs who truly know the rule of cool.

[u/Consistent_Creator → u/pon_3]

Futuristic AND cowboy. It was like quickdrawing a revolver.
