Skit: How the writers of some Animes just be letting the villain's abilities make no sense.
(very minor Arc 5 spoilers)
In a corner of Pristella that had seen much, much better days, a vicious showdown between the newest knight Natsuki Subaru and the Sin Archbishop of Greed was taking place. A spectacle that any bystander would tell their children for generations to come.
[Regulus]: "I've had enough of this staredown, you buffoon. Can't you see that you are imposing on my authority by staring at me like a sick puppy!"
[Subaru]: "Greed, today is the day your evil deeds will end. HOH!"
With an enraged battle cry, Subaru went in for his finishing move.
A normal punch.
Said punch was immediately caught by his enemy. Mentally panicking that his finishing move had failed, Subaru was left to worry about how to free his right arm from the cultist's dirty clutches.
Suddenly, he was blown back with meager difficulty, but something wasn't right. He couldn't feel his left arm. What had happened-
[Subaru]: "GAAHH! My left arm! What the hell? I didn't even hit you with this arm!"
Subaru's left arm was quite literally twisted into the shape of a pretzel from his homeland. If Regulus knew what pretzels even were, he would have undoubtedly come to the same conclusion. It almost made him question if it was intentional.
Subaru quickly crumpled to the floor. He grit his teeth to take his mind off the pain. There were more pressing things to think about, like what the hell even happened.
Regulus laughed, reveling in watching this worm wriggle.
[Regulus]: "You may want to get your arm checked out. Do you want to know what I did? How considerate of me to inform you."
Not waiting for an answer, he continued.
[Regulus]: "First, I hit every pressure point in your left elbow. Then, I started kneeing your left elbow. Then, with my right elbow, I elbowed your left elbow. Your left arm is completely shattered."
[Subaru]: "W-What?"
[Regulus]: "I even had time to go through your refrigerator, have a bowl of cereal. I ate one of your NutriGrain bars."
Subaru gawked in shock. Had he ever stood a chance to begin with? Could he really protect Emilia? And most importantly, how the hell does he know what NutriGrain is? Subaru mentally cursed Hoshin.
[Regulus]: "-I used your bathroom. I fed your cat, I took a nap right there."
Greed pointed to the side, where an after-image of himself sat, resting in a king-sized bed.
[Subaru]: "HOW?"
[Regulus]: "Now, how are you planning to fight me?"
Safe to say that Subaru was f*cked.
