O is for Overpowered
The argument started in the main hangar, like most arguments of this ilk did. The smokejumpers had been watching some new anime and the next thing anyone knew there was in a heated shouting match about who on base was the 'real' one punch man. While this type of development probably would have been concerning for an outsider, for the men and women who called the Piston Peaks Air Attack Base home, this was simply a Tuesday.
"So…" Blade sipped on his coffee from the piece of tarmac he had relocated to when the noise level in the hangar had gotten uncomfortably loud. "Does anyone understand what they are currently arguing about?"
Cabbie simply shrugged his wings. "Your guess is as good as mine."
"They are arguing about which member of base is the most OP." Windlifter grinned quietly into his own mug of coffee.
"Which means?" Blade pushed.
"Overpowered." The Skycrane replied as though he was surprised that his fellow aircraft were not familiar with the cultural reference. "They are comparing us with the title character of an anime that they are currently watching. He is known for being so completely overpowered that he can easily take out any enemy with a single punch."
"Windy." The Chief looked at his lieutenant with a raised eyebrow. "How in the world do you know this?"
"I have been reading the manga that the series has been based on." Windlifter blinked back. "It has been very enjoyable."
"Oh really?" Blade muttered sarcastically.
"Yes." The Skycrane replied clearly immune to the Chief's sarcasm. "But being familiar with the source text, it is clear that the smokejumpers are ignoring the most important question to debate."
"And what would that be?"
"Which character is the closest parallel to each member of the team." Windlifter got a distant look in his eye. "Given the size and complexity of the cast, they could have a truly engaging literary debate which characters represented each individual and why."
"I don't know why I let myself get surprised by this type of thing anymore." Cabbie mumbled into his coffee. Unfortunately for the old plane, his mutterings were not loud enough to derail Windlifter's ramblings about a TV show that neither he nor Blade had any interest in actually watching. They were trapped by a helicopter in professor mode until they were finally rescued by Patch and the call to respond to a fire. To say that the aircraft were thrilled for the interruption would have been an understatement.
Term – Overpowered – Overpowered or OP refers to something or someone who has more power than they know what to do with. It is a popular trope in both anime and superhero comics. Things in real life can also be overpowered, with a great example of this being the lifting power of a Skycrane.
