It's really quite convenient for the Black Mouth, if you think about it. No need to change Zack's outfit when he gets infected, because he's already wearing something that hides that his skin is covered by telepathic mold.
I think the Sea King was taked down by the Apostles themselves, Power manifested to scorch a Continent on that Planet after all, and i don't think anything other than a 'God' could take down the King/Queen of the Alt Humans, sure there are unrelated Deities in the universe, like the Wasting Mother that Malik's fighting currently, but those seem totally outside the Cycles of Monster Invasion, Malik had to travel to the Outer Rim of the universe to find himself in the situation of facing her. If that's the case, then the Trio might still be in line to be purged by the Apostles once they manifest, as the King and Queen were defeated even after having grown beyond being Spawns, but yeah, the story does make emphasis in this cycle being special, and the Trio as a whole something that shouldn't have been a thing.
I mean, being a straight male and then turning into a hot gal and getting fucked by big dick sweaty dudes because youre a girl now and your hormones are acting up not because youre gay or anything is a usual thing in superhuman so dont blame the guy for asking for more.
He comes back in berserker armor and a dragonslayer made of radiation and then proceeds to berserk all over the S class like Guts did against those weird sea elephant monsters.
I think you overestimate how much importance dedicating yourself to training seems to help. The powers aren't body building, the powers have a heavy spiritual element and getting stronger is different for every single one of them and constant training could completely prevent any serious growth depending on what it is. A mindset like Michael's would probably heavily hinder the memory side of the MC's powers. His mom was in the top tier and her mentality probably played a big part in why she was so good with Memory.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. It's a year already with invasion in full swing, and you're telling me Indra didn't curbstomp half of H.E.R.O. into the ground given the slightest chance to? Get out of here, there's clearly something not allowing him to go ham and erase everyone in a glorious fight but Nico, maybe Nyx and Henri too.
Ella herself said a single minded obsession with growing stronger is the key, trainning is just part of it.
Imagine how bad Bramon must have been to them that they consider Tanos great by comparison
From Cole's flashbacks, Tanos was actually being this super amazing parent figure to them while they were child lab rats. I assume to try to get them to ditch Bramon for him. Or maybe as a backup plan for if they try to escape, so they don't try to kill him. But we know from Ella, Liz, and Amber that he's just as bad as his father, if not worse. From Eisheth's interaction with Bramon, it seems like Bramon doesn't dissect things that are still alive (especially not humans), while Tanos does (Liz, Amber, Eisheth).
They considered Tanos better because they were ignorant dumbass kids, not because Tanos was actually better. We saw from Cole's flashback that Bramon never took pleasure in "torturing" Cole but doing it out of necessity so that Cole could survive his power, unlike his son who's a sadist and actually enjoyed doing that shit.
Ella say's a lot of things, some of them she doesn't practice, she also says different methods suit different people. But the power system is fluid enough where I think that single minded obsession would cripple advancement in many of the powers, that you need to be motivated by something other than strength simply for strength. I brought up body builder because Michael has the mindset for an athlete, take proven theory, apply it constantly and rigidly but I stick by the point that the power system of the setting does not work that way, even Michael questions whether his mindset gets in the way of further power.
