And Chuck Norris has sex before his father.

Myths and legends and claims of amazing deeds are not uncommon.

Factual proof is lacking.

And hey, I can give a 13-year old a gun, and he can kill someone. That doesn't make him a expert marksmen.

 

And tell me, if she were a few years older, would that negatively impact her role in the story at all? No, it wouldn't. If anything, it would give her role as a gifted mage apprentice more credibility, as learing requires a lot of time.
 

So please, give me one good reason why is her age so vital?

Oh, let's not forget that scene you posted a while back...

 

Her age isn't of any importance at all.

 

Whether she older, a dude or anything.

 

It doesn't matter.

 

What should matter is that she's a brilliant character and does a lot to further improve the narrative with her relationship and interactions with Gatts.

 

You're focusing on the entirely wrong thing here. Miura doesn't care about her magic or how good she is and nobody else does too.

 

The fact that she's a gifted mage is there as a device, that's all. Or are you seriously questioning the credibility of her talent when Gatts is around doing things that are beyond human capabilities?

 

It's the same with your constant b*tching about gender bending in the Fate series. Did Nasu make them female to get more male attention? You're probably 100% correct on that one.

 

But does it matter?

 

No.

 

You can pull the 'unfaithful to mythology' card but that's not what Fate is about. The fact that Saber is a chick and not a dude has absolutely no impact on the writing whatsoever. She's a great character with a past made even more tragic seeing as she's female. Yes, Nasu included that fact, nobody simply forgot that she was a girl.

 

The entire point is that you focus on completely the wrong things. There's no point to why they make these decisions and it's okay as long as it fits.

 

LOTGH can't have hyper-intelligent/whatever little kids because LOTGH isn't that kind of anime and doesn't want to be that kind of anime. It would be completely out of place.

 

It's the same with everything. It's fine as long as it fits.

 

It's why Gintama can get away with Gintoki breaking swords with his teeth and why One Piece can get away with random power ups. In fact, it'd be completely out of place for both of those to shift their tone to something else. I'd be the one complaining if Gintama suddenly became LOTGH or if One Piece characters didn't want to go on adventures.

 


Historical accounts of that incident are sketchy at best. Mostly because the primary source for it comes from Miyamoto himself, which also goes to tell that he basically sucker punched the swordsman as his uncle was apologizing for trying to call off the duel.

 

Yep, probably went like that.

 

Dude did amazing things when he was still a kid though.

 

Most 18 year olds I know jerk-off to porn then get wasted on Friday nights.

 

Myself included.

Hell yeah!

 

Was actually worried I would have to delay my experience until Monday or something do to me having to visit the capital for work, but Chewin was a Good Guy Greg and invited me to stay at his place for the weekend, instead of me checking into a hotel. So I get to view UBW in comfort!  :wizard:

Just an aspect of life during that time. Kids were supposed to work at that age and the transition to doing hard manual labor to whacking people's heads over with a big stick is rather smooth if you look at the circumstances. It wasn't uncommon for kids to enlist with the military, even lie about their age if there were restrictions in the 18th century still. The arguably most influencial person on modern warfare, Clausewitz, enlisted with 13 in 1793.

 

It's just that this kind of stuff is not as necessary nowadays as most kids don't have to start doing manual labor or enlist to feed themselves and their family. And in parts of the world where wealth isn't quite catching up, kids still do hard work at ages where most kids in rich nations would still be crying to mommy when they stepped on their toes.

Oh sure, I know all that.

 

It's why I have no trouble in believing all the amazing things kids have done before.

 

Like Sougo from Gintama (his real life counterpart) did was beating Masters at like 14? Or was it 16? Can't remember.

 

Even in Historical Manga like Kingdom.

 

Which is shounen-ish at times, but it's still plausible.

Her age isn't of any importance at all.

 

But does it matter?

 

No.

 

To you.

 

You say it fits. I say it doesn't. I say it hurts the anime - not jut the individual series, but anime as a whole.

 


You can pull the 'unfaithful to mythology' card but that's not what Fate is about. The fact that Saber is a chick and not a dude has absolutely no impact on the writing whatsoever.

 

Well, I'm sure the mana-transfer scene would be written differently...

 


It's why Gintama can get away with Gintoki breaking swords with his teeth

 

Which is stupid, even for Gintama, especially since Gintama shifts tones during serious arcs, but whatever...

BS.

Enlisting and pealing potatoes is not the same as being a proper warrior.

 

Experience and body strength is not something you can have at 13. Period.

Nah, but we've known each other through BSN for 3 years or so now (way back in ME2-3 days). This is actually the first time I see him in person (since I live like a 6 hour drive away from him and don't visit the capital that often).

 

And of course, as he once put it--"he has no business up north" so he doesn't visit me neither :P

Bashing a by his own accounts more arrogant than skilled warrior's head in by sucker punching him isn't being a proper warrior too. I can beat someone I catch offguard to death too. Don't need experience for that. And people that have been tending fields and/or doing other manual work ever since the age of six or so do have enough body strenght to beat you to death with a big club. It's actually not that hard if we recount that the example of Miyamoto which we've been discussing says the initial sucker punch knocked the other guy down and then got clubbed to death after he tried to get up again.

 

 

So what's your point here?
