i have these weird feelings with gabimaru, like hes super strong and stuff but like?? idk feels like theres too much of a plot armor on him

  i think gabimaru is just unintentionally using the energy thing that the hermits are also using. same with choubei which allowed them to keep fighting

  He's probably part tensen, had the elixir, or was a child of someone who drank it. Though given the story, the dude is probably just like the tree dude, given it's a battle shounen, it has to be some dumb shit like that lmfaooo

  not really, anyone has the ability to do it

  A staple of all shounen is that the main character gets stronger over time. I agree, all these fights so far it feels like he hasn't really struggled, like this man is just too strong. Sure he didn't win against orange hair, but they're kinda setup to be the final bosses of the island so he did a little too well for a first encounter. I honestly have no clue how they're going to power scale or progress anything in an interesting way, not to say that they won't be able to

  i miss animes where there were actual threat and the mc actually was scared of something, last time i remember seeing something like this was at the beginning of jujutsu kaisen like first 5 episodes or so where itadori and his friends found the special threat curse

  He was actually strugling and almost died tho, Gabimaru lived enough to know how to adapt to situations and he's kinda OP but also there's other reasons to how he could hurt Zhu Jin so much (not spoiling tho)
  
  but yeah this beggining is just setting how the Tensen are not invincible and Gabimaru is a weakness to Zhu Jin (for reasons) but he will struggle more from here onward, there's plot armor yes but there's actually some real hardcore dangers that you feel like they can die at any time

  Plot armour was the only reason why I didn't like reading the manga, like ik its a new gen action shounen which is ought to have plot armour, but the characters in this series have too much of it
