This is actually how liberals feel . They think having reading standards to vote is racist against blacks , implying that they cannot read . Im not saying they are incorrect , just pointing out that they believe the same things that people they rail against , do . <| sep |> A gag order that prevents him from walking by a window . Yeah , no . <| sep |> That ' s literally the same as every other battle shounen . Every fight in Naruto is filled with exposition explaining the strategy behind battles and who is getting the upper hand . Look at any battle from the Chunnin exams or Sasuke retrieval arc . Same goes with other battle shounen like Yu Yu Hakusho which was also made by HxH ' s creator , Togashi . The same thing is in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood . What you ' re talking about is narrative stakes in battles , but every battle shounen has those , Hunter x Hunter isn ' t special at all in that regard . It ' s the same for Code Geass . It ' s not special because it has narrative stakes in all of its battles , that ' s the same for any Gundam series as well . When Char and Amuro clash there is some narrative behind it , there ' s also this chess game that we see as Char attempts to trump the Gundam and Amuro tries to figure out the Red Comet ' s strategy . It ' s not as intricate or emphasized as Code Geass ' s strategy , but it ' s still there . Code Geass isn ' t special in that regard . Are we going to say Aldnoah Zero which also takes heavy inspiration from Gundam is unlike other mecha because it has a large emphasis on strategy ? Hell no , it ' s as mecha as mecha can be . People need to stop trying to make the distinction between HxH and other battle shounen , and the same goes for Code Geass .
