All of Anime vs the Principality of Zan!

Post by HemlockGrey »

Bwahaha!

Yes! The Reckoning! The ultimate showdown that will crumple the pillars of space, time, and the heavens!

ANIME VS ZAN!

Unfortunetly, no one on this board has read The Principality comics. Therefor, you have no way to know whether or not I'm pulling stuff out of my ass. However, it works both ways, as I have yet to see All of Anime.

There is one rule, however: There may be no NGE in the competition, because I don't want to read any spoilers.

So! FIGHT!

Sorry, but I can already tell you one thing.

Zan loses due to massive sugar overload.

The Zekes'll put up a good fight, but against all anime-dom, they're toast.

No idea why you call them 'Zekes', but I'm quite certain a force that controls half the universe and is ruled by God will put up more than 'a good fight'...

Because the name sounds like the Principality of Zeon from Gundam.

When was this 'Principality of Zan' marketed?

A year ago. It's a local comic book. Trust me, the only similarity between it and the Principality of Zeon is the name.

From reading your posts, I'd say you're correct.

However, this debate is rather asinine. Since you appear to be the only one who's read "P.o.Z." you can make any claim you want and we'll have no way to confim it (unless it's online somewhere?) On the other side, an anime fan CAN'T make any claim they want because other anime fans would catch it and call them on it. Really, the whole thing is based on your honesty. I'm not saying you're a liar, but the temptation to.....exaggerate...is there, and in this case, would be very easy to fall into. Understand what I mean?

Of course. I even mentioned it in my post. However, the anime people can make up whatever claims they want, because I haven't seen all anime and couldn't tell if a show was real or made up.

Therefor, I propose the Honor System(TM)

Ultra-advanced civilization ruled by the Imperator of Zan, commonly known as God. The Imperator allows the Principality to interact with all civilizations and organizations that have some measure of humanity in them, but does not allow any contact with cultures or organizations that do not include humans in some way.

For example, he'd have no problem with them contacting the Culture. However, he regularly destroys billions of atoms every other hour or so because each atom will, given trillians of years, become a planet that will give rise to a xenophobic, alien race that will eventually kill just one Principality citizen. He wouldn't interfere with the anime vs Principality thing, though, since humans are amply represented in anme.

The Principality of Zan controls half the universe. It's main weapons are the energyless and matterless 'disruptor cannons' which defy the laws of physics and destroy energy and matter- just make it vanish utterly. Their ships travel with instantaneous FTL. They are shielded with both energy shields and 'warpshields' which take any form of energy that they are hit with and warp to the nearest unshielded enemy target, or just an empty portion of space.

Fleet battles involving millions of ships are over in less than a second. In that second, the ships warp around their home systems or wherever they are, to foul up disruptor aim, while similiarly 'warping' disruptor shots right next to the enemy ship's shields.

Fleet battles involve taking down the energy shields with disruptor cannons and then vanishing the main ship. However, you have to do this with one volley, because the ship is run by living energy, which is kept 'alive' by the brain-waves of the millions of sleeping crewmembers who subconciously rule the ship. The living energy can transform itself instantly into matter to repair any breaches in the ship's hull.

Thousands of solar systems are routinely destroyed and created(yes, they can make stars). Principality shipyards involve parking outside a star, taking energy out of the star and instantly converting it to matter(i.e. a warship) until the star runs out of energy and a new one must be used(they change every few days or so)

Someone was wankingreallyhard when he thought this up. WTF's the point of pitting this bunch against anything? Obviously they've been crafted so that nothing can deal with them.

Oh, hush up. You could say the same about the Culture. Besides, I'm sure that somewhere in anime there's an answer to these guys.

Actually, that's only when Mihoshi's around.

Scarily enough, he's right though. There's always the Lord of Nightmares.

Majin Buu wouldn't have a chance.

Washuu wouldn't have a chance (She has never shown the capability to make things simply vanish)

Now Evangelion would have a chance, but since you don't want spoilers, I'll put this in small type: Third Impact would mean that principality citizens (I presume that they are Humans) would no longer be able to retain their individual forms, therefore the principality is LCL. Granted, this is a "nobody wins" situation, but against a race that could trump the culture, that's the best that you can hope for.

Look up the animes Slayers and Lost Universes. For those two dimensions, and two more, She's the equivalent of God's Mother.

Image

The above chart shows the Hirarchy of the Mazoku(lit. "Race of Evil." essentially Daemons). The circle at the top represents the Lord of Nightmares, and the four circles unded the star are the Four Mazoku Lords, the Ultimate Evils in each of their Universes: Chaotic Blue, Dark Star, Death Fog, and Ruby-Eye Shabranigdo.

The Lord of Nightmares is not only above them, but is also above the Four Dragons that oppose them, as shown in the diagram below.

Image

The Lord of Nightmares is also known as the Sea of Chaos. Within the Sea of Chaos are four staffs, or Planes. These are the four universes upon which the Shinzuku/Ryuzuku and the Mazoku fight(Slayers, Lost Universe, etc...). These Staves are all actually parts of the Lord of Nightmares herself.

Image

This is important to know because of a nasty spell known as the Giga Slave. The Giga Slave is a spell of immense destructive power that basically summons part of the Lord of Nightmares into the world. It's a dangerous spell, and the first time it was cast it turned a beach into an inlet. It's even more dangerous than that, because if something goes wrong, the spell can destroy the entire universe as the Lord of Nightmares enters it.
