1- POWER UP! Power Systems in Anime and Intro to Us
In this introductory episode to Brotakus, Hal and Pax (@PaxLillin) talk about their patented system for classifying power systems in fiction and anime!
MAIN CATEGORIES OF POWER-UPS: BORN THIS WAY (Born with the power/grew into it) WILLPOWER (I want it SO BAD!) BONDS/TRUST (We work better together!) ARTIFACT GET! (A rare or powerful item/substance initiates the Power Up) *TRAIN LIFE (You train like WAAAY hard and now you’re better forever)
We also touch on power systems in general, both literal and figurative, in real life and in fiction. We talk about disempowerment and disillusionment in the era of COVID-19 and police violence, and talk about some of our own experiences with what's going on in the world right now. We love you and believe in your ability to make a difference, both in your own life and in the world around you. Be safe and take care of yourself, and when you're ready, take action.
