Since Dragon Ball Z, power systems have transformed the fictional stories I enjoy. However, I never thought about it as more than something that made fights look cool. So today, I want to analyze some of my favorite power systems to find out why they are so amazing.

Thanks so much for watchin, fam. Don't forget to like, share, and let me know your favorite power system and why in the comments below.
Nothing to do with the video, but there was a WEBTOON that I just found it’s been going on of two years didn’t know if you’ve covered or not. It’s called school bus graveyard. It’s kind of like a thriller or horror series but seeing as how I hate horror series and I read it just fine. I don’t know what to classified it as.
Shoulda brought up World Trigger most underrated power system
got to go with dragon ball and SAO because its close to dark souls. i like if you train you see growth
Nen and Cursed Energy. I like power systems that add technical aspects, like the contracts and binding vows.
Don't wanna sound like I'm dissing your webtoon vids, but its always nice to see you return to these styles of videos you used to frequent whether it be games movies or just general stuff like this 🤓😎
No worries bro. I completely understand. I really want to put more videos like these out, its just the time
@@TheBlackMastadonte Oh absolutely!! I'm looking forward to the Megaman HGH, I know you been working on that one for GOOOOOOD MINUTE lol 🥴💀
@@TheBlackMastadonte (I'm also low key waiting for to shadow drop a What Really Happened for John Wick Chapter 4)
@@TheBlackMastadonteare you still doing honest gaming history ?
@@HORIZON00236 Yup yup. The Mega Man HGH should drop by the beginning of July
One of the power systems that i love the most is Spiral Energy, this power system was one of the basis of my own power system, even wanted to keep the inspo through how i named it: *Rush Energy*
I see you been hanging around Hisoka with that explanation of what a Good Power System supposed to make you feel.
Devil fruit plus haki make some really interesting fights and Dynamics which I don't see talked about enough
One Piece did an amazing job with the power system
@@TheBlackMastadonte yes especially the awakened devil fruits
There okay... liffys gear 5 annoyed me a bit. Because the of the OP fans who RAG on Bleach and ichigo kurasaki for having ass pulls....even though Kubo time and time again foreshadowed GOD Teir levels. But he get ragged on all the time. Bur luffy gomu gomu since the start is Now a MYTHICAL ZOAN TYPE?#$+ BUT THAT fine fuck off.
The worst part I REALLY LOVE how luffy was this bundle joy it made sense. And ichigo made MORE SENSE. I just hate how one is hated for what the other does that
Haki is cool devil fruits as well. But that system isn't as ingrained as bleach is. So yall stop....hate bleach idc...don't simply be a fucktartd. Juat say you hate bleach... k
@@holloify_tensa_zangetsu I can't blame them because Ichigo is literally every single race and yeah him Awakening gear 5 was definitely an ass pull there's no argument about that and this isn't his only one his fight against crocodile is also one, but I would definitely say that it definitely happened a lot more in bleach from my knowledge. However asspull isn't what we're talking about; it's there a power systems

Ay, I was TRYIN to be mature about it bruh. But you just HAD to double back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoo
My absolute Favourite type of youtube videos are Video Essays, and this was an incredible one. You can feel the passion you have for the topic pour out of the screen every second from beginning to end. And as someone who loves Powersystems and coming up with new ones myself, i one hundred percent agree with every single point you have made.
Thx for the awesome watch man^^
Thanks for watching man 🥹
Including P4G was such a solid decision. This is one of the most unique videos I've seen from your channel and its awesome
Thanks so much fam
It’s been a while since Donte has made a video like this but I love it.
Trying to get more videos like these out for you guys
This was a fire video especially the editing you and editor-kun popped off. You should put Maaksushido in your novel or the donteverse overall lol. For the end question I don't have a definitive favorite power system but I have a top 3: Reiatsu from Bleach, Ki from Dragon ball, and Cultivation from wuxia stories.
Really appreciate this man
genuinely one of the best videos exploring an interest in magic systems that i've ever seen, keep it up
I really loved the vid, man.
Watching it made me rethink of characters that I looked up to when I first watched anime.
And the first characters that popped into my mind was Joseph Joestar(JJBA), Naota(FLCL), and Guts(Berserk).
Mostly because those characters showed me no matter how rough life, how foreign the world can be the next day, don't stop moving, persevere, roll with punches.
When I watch anime, sure, I watch for the story, plot, and the fights. But, there are anime where I just want to watch for the characters and their development.
Thanks for making this vid.
First video of yours that Ive ever seen. This video was a BANGER! It was incredible! You did a great job, bro.
Thanks so much fam!!
One magic system that i've recently read about is witch hat atelier where the magic system is done really well
I recently started reading One Piece, I’m currently on Skypeia, and I really like the power system of dials and Mantra. One Piece in general has so many fighting styles that they feel like their own power system on top of Devil Fruits. Oda really knows how to worldbuild.
Thx for the upload
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the awesome video.This really gave me a lot to think about when a it comes to making a interesting world/story and how I can use the supernatural to convey the message of said world/story And also gave me a greater appreciation for the power systems of stories I have read so far
Love these types of videos man! The passion you have behind this is just awesome! 💯💯💯
A power system that I do like is one from an anime not a lot of people talk about that being Chrome Shelled Reigos. Their power system involves something called kei. Everyone has it and can use it because of an artery in the characters human body. If you are a military artist (that's what fighters are called by the way) and you train or you are born with gifted talent then you can learn things like ballistic kei, the deadly kei roar. There are also characters called nenny operators who have psychic powers such as mind reading and telepathy though something by nenny which comes in the form of different colored rose petals. The weapons can vary as well and it really depends on how strong you're kei is too but kei also is a double edged sword because if you have too much or take an illegal substance in the universe called overload then we'll say goodbye to your body.
Omg someone who actually knows how ki works In dragon ball😭 to many people think it's the raw strength of the dragon ball characters and not their ki
This is a masterpiece of a video bro. Love this sort of vid!
Thank you, bro! Really glad you enjoyed it
@TheBlackMastadonte Your content is really good! Keep making videos! ❤
Great video I love getting to see new and unique power systems or unique spins on already existing power systems
Thank you
Banger video!
Starting out with Re:Zero which has an entire story that *only* works on the premise that it has such a unique power system was a perfect touch 👌
Bro this was absolutley sick!!!
I feel you on that Persona part. It's rough watching them all grow only to leave em behind, because you also have your own growth to go thru too. Persona in general has its best moments when its showing a character's growth and how they come closer to accepting "the true self". Without the player's intervention in the main plot, most of the ppl would be going about their day to day lives, worrying about missed opportunities, refusing to change their way of life because it's comfortable, and just not reach their fullest potential. There's some serious power in the bonds we share, cuz those bonds help shape our reality. Our experiences, what everyone sees and feels, our drive to improve and grow, all of it. Love the series and this video is fire.
And yep, that post Persona depresso is real. P3, P4 and P5 left me in shambles.
My favorite power system in any fiction is rhe A Certain Magical Index/A Certain Sceintific Railgun franchise's and it's spinoffs
You're telling me Two completely different powersystems that might as well be polar opposites share the same world and it all makes sense!? I love the series so damn much.
Instant subscribed loved this
Thanks fam
Amazing breakdown, love videos like this.
I don't know if you'd have time for it, but I'd really like to hear what you think about the Cradle series by Will Wight and it's power system. Granted, you might not be too into it the first book or so, but it's easy to speed through, and you'll definitely get hooked midway.
I don't have a favorite power system yet as my two favorite anime has different types. Eminence in Shadow and Slime data ken. Those are the only ones that are keeping me locked in. It's my age, I assume. I'm reading Ordeal and I'm waiting for the return of The Beginning of the End currently. This is another banging video that we all love and look forward to from you. Keep funky my guy.
Gotcha gotcha. I still have to catch up to Eminence in Shadow myself. Also, thank you bro
Good video, I love Cultivation systems generally speaking from Chinese Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuanhuan novels tbh.
Dope video 👍
That Naruto part went hard😊😊😊❤❤❤
that was so sweet
My fav power system has to be bleach. Gotta love a juicy cero from time to time
Reiatsu goes crazy
this video was good 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved the vid, but are we gonna get some more TBATE soon?
Thanks fam. And yup yup
5:25 RE-ZERO!?😐😐 I TO MUCH OF A FLEDGLING IN TERMS OF MY ANIME EXPERTISE!
Fav is Demon Slayer, followed by Avatar. Lots of awesome similarities in there between them, at least for one of its systems.
I feel that. Though I’m not a fan of Demon Slayer, the breathing power system is pretty dope
One of the best power system in my opinion is Negation. The people who had this ability had the power to negate a certain rule of the world and they're called Negators. Their ability name are also all have the prefixes "Un" in front of them. For example, Negator of Move would negate any concept movement that they see as long as they too don't move and they would be called UnMove.
What makes it interesting is that since the power is conceptual negation themselves, the power also evolve the more they understand their rules. And these power evolution are also followed by huge personal growth since you literally change how you view the rule and how it impose those rules onto reality. Example, Andy or Death Negator , he negate all form of death, conventional or not and the power give him INSANE healing ability but he has one huge weakness, people can just cut his head and seal it in a container so he won't heal. But after meeting this one girl saying, as long as people's memory exist, they won't die. This cause his power to evolve, he's easy to capture before because he heals from his brain cuz he views braindead as a form of death but now he can heal from anywhere cuz now, he heal from his soul.
One of my personal fav power system is telekineses from mob psycho cuz to me it reprent your emotion and the more u represt your emotion the more likely u will explode because of your power and the more mature u becom3 the stronger you become and that is show thank my BOY SHIGEO KAGEYAMA or MOB
It's good my guy
Hey checkout the power systems from Golden Mist, Walesena, Element, Grand Reign and talk about Eleceed power system
im so reading that recommendation
Your the man blackmasterdonte you one of the best you tubers may your pain be champaign and may all your bills be hundred dollar bills 😅😢😂❤❤
I really like Nen and Alchemy as power systems
Yooo lets gooo
🔥🔥🔥🔥
combined power systems both at full
We should hear my animes power system Regen/Defines
I was wondering if you try this new webtoon called jupiter men which was made in 2022 you may not like it but thats ok its not like most webtoon that are written in a manga format but gives a type of cartoon you would watch in the 2000s pls read this and consider to read it
SUGGSVERSE says hello!
What it magical?
Worse still, I think it's a very interesting part of universes, even though I don't really know how to make a good Power system, my ideas still don't seem to have reached their maximum potential. Any tips?
I’d say think about the theme of the story you want to tell and build off that
YEAHHH BRANDON SANDERSON!!!! everybody read all eight mistborn books now
❤
"Hunter x Hunter" is notoriously known for having one of the best most creative consistent power systems in all of Anime. This video however talks more about showing off power systems for the sake of the story especially in a flashy or plot twisting way, which is more akin to Naruto. Although Naruto's power system is definitely not more creatively consistent than the series that inspired it which was Hunter x Hunter.
Agreed and this video was by no means trying to say one power system is better than the other. I just wanted to use some of my favorite ones to show how much they affect the plot
@@TheBlackMastadonte Trust fam
HxH 🎉
Naruto has a more creative and expansive power system than H×H, maybe not as consistent tho
@@shakaj1525 You realize Naruto was massively inspired by Hunter x Hunter right? The author of Naruto even said so himself... the power system of Naruto is expansive, but it's definitely not more creative and consistent to HxH's Nen system.
Persona 4 golden is PEAK persona!!!!!!!!!!!!
AGREED!
From a writing standpoint, Qi is pretty versatile, it can do anything.
Yh, it's very versatile due to the fact that it's a Soft Magic System. The problem with Ki is that it's too soft. The only thing we know is that Qi I'd life force. There are never really any explanations as to how characters use it. So while it's very versatile, it's also ver bad imo
@@chijiokeokorafor6690 That's not really true. The show isn't even about Qi. It works good enough for the story which is what it should be.
A bad writer introduces hard rules for no reason other than padding the story out.
Then they introduce more rules when it's convenient for the plot, like HxH.
@@encouraginglyauthentic43 No show is truly about the power system. The power system, no matter what it is, should be a way of driving the story forward in a positive way, whether in driving and building the world or adding tension and conflict into the story
@@encouraginglyauthentic43 HxH never introduces rules just when it's convenient for the plot. Nen is a complex power system that has strong, unshakeable foundations and limits. And seeing characters find unique ways to use the powers and get around things that would be the end for them in other shows is just amazing. Nen emphasizes creativity and ingenuity above all else, along with sacrifice and equal gain, whereas Ki is only used to give the characters new transformations/new moves. Don't ever compare the two
@@chijiokeokorafor6690 This incorrect the show can be about whatever the author wants it to be about.
Just because you haven't seen the show where the magic is the backbone of the narrative doesn't mean they don't exist.
lessssss goooooooooooooooo

hey man i made a manga script if you want you can read it,if you want tell me and al see how to send it to you,w video btw
My hero academia is definitely one that's on the least of my list
Eh sounds like you don't like any complexity in Re: Zeros system cuz you just wanna see him be traumatized and nothing else but ok
First
SMH
I think it's just profitable to like Japanese Manga and anime WITHOUT CRITIQUE OR RIDICULE
Power systems in all of anime either completely ditch the power system, make up new rules for the power system to boost the MC out the blue, or just outright ignore the rules of the power systems they set up
Remember JJK, or Naruto rasenshuriken lol BTW JJK is basically Naruto but with demons instead of ninja
But the rasenshuriken was supposed to deal cellular damage to Naruto but..... they ditched that idea as the story progressed lol
There's so many examples of how Japanese Manga and anime can get away with the worst writing and you guys will never hold them to any standards whatsoever
They ditched it because... they made him able to throw the Rasenshuriken by improving his chakra control via Sage Mode training. The reason why it damaged his hand is because he held it _in_ his hand even when it hit the enemy and blew up into all those cellular level needles/blades. Of course it would stop doing that if he didn't keep that close.
Also saying all of anime ignores or twists its power system just to make the MC stronger is just flat-out wrong
they only hold their critique onto their own western medias, typical posers.
