Good points:

Ymmv Points:
- Once upon a time there were this game reviewer ranting about how mirror matches most of time don't work with the game lore at all and when they do it's always some cheap excuse like a cloning or black magic... And here we have the Four Great Black Saints... Probably the major headscratcher is how they are at this point in time the image and likeness of the protagonists... Elaborating it here would require going into spoiler territory so let me leave it as it seems...

Bad points:

@mrponeis Those peoples just so happen to look like the heroes. No in-universe excuse. (that's what makes it so funny: Kurumada is only after what would "look good" with no concern for plausibility , after a beginning where he bothered to put rules/"sciences" everywhere)
What does "ymmv" stand for? Is there no bad point?

Hoping to read more of you here.

@Rei_III Ymmv stands for Your Mileage Might Vary, as they are so random that in the moment of posting I was still ok with giving Kurumada-sensei some credit... These reviews are an exercise to take shounen writers less seriously...

About why I think this trope had some potential, I believe he had at least three reasons (none of them very good) for using the Black Saints in such way... I will use spoilers since according MAL rules I should've discuss each in their respective chapters...



The only thing to like here is probably this: he tried Sure, he failed hard. But he kept trying... I don't regard him in my list of favorite authors so I can keep my expectations low...

Até mais ver
mr. Poneis

Ps.: By the way I think that overall one of the best uses of the mirror match trope was Samurai Jack...
