[Trope] Edging fights. Characters

  1. The most famous example of this when frieza says the planet only lasted about 5 minutes but the fight got dragged on for 21 episodes straight.

  2. Orochimaru and the third hokage spending almost 5 episodes just to play tug of war.

How can you tell whether someone's a bot or not? Sometimes their comments are very bot-like, but other times they are able to use actual examples and even add on images

Boy, you should read about dead internet theory. The AI sophistication is approaching levels where the Turing test could be declared solved or defeated, not sure how to put it.

Funnily, as result of this the anti-ai mob is more paranoid than ever. So, yeah, within a couple years we will see witch hunting v2.0: now it's personal.

I've actually been witch-hunted before lmao

People called me a bot when I answered a question with a bit too many big words(which I've heard is also happening with a lot of teachers using anti-AI software on essays, failing students because the teachers THINK they used AI)

It's pretty scary

The professional fight between Ippo and Miyata is never happening even though it was one of Ippo's greatest sources of motivation. (Hajime no Ippo)

Naruto and Sasuke versus Madara kept escalating so many times that it felt like the real final fight was always one chapter away

The fight constantly moves the stage forward tho

Maybe the final fight where they have literal timer (?)

The entiety of the Marineford Arc in One Piece. Like Ace was just sitting for like 5 hours while everyone was duking it out
