Alright, popping in my two cents. Jin-woo is IMO the strongest in the room with Goku at equal footing, or weaker, only because I'd classify LN Jin-woo at a Omniversal level threat. Could Goku beat him if he went 100% instantly and got the jump- sure! If Jin-woo sees it coming though? Nah, monarch domain or whtvr it's called straight up wipes Goku. But, enough glazing, because the facts from the video are 100% accurate. Jin-woo and the shadows are like 99% of the story. Bro goes from weakest to strongest in less than a year in a verse that has *zero* concept of power scaling. It's a shonen power fantasy, so the writing is kinda butt. Just about everyone has more substance comparitivly. But, that doesn't make them masterpieces. AOT gets a negative from me because everything in season one is drawn out and made to feel like a doomsday, only for Eren's awakening to come up and reveal the world is screwed from fate? Nah, just not into it. Friren has awesome animation, good plot, great characters. But crap pacing. Same with One Piece. Again, in some aspects, I can appreciate it- it builds the characters up and their interrelationships and motivations...but when you go from the crawl to awesome scenes like the Gear 5 reveal, the fight against golem Friren, HELL! Even Slime, which is my #4 Anime of all time- going from awesome scenes or arcs with great fights to just a slow crawl droning on to ramp up a new "big bad"? Eh. I'm bored. I can say with confidence that Demon Slayer and MHA does this between-arc pacing best. The characters get a full build without making it boring. They're simple in motivations without being overtly cookie-cutter personalities. Both also have awesome animation...but...both have *CRAP* fanbasses.
