*I didn't write this. Was one of my facebook notes and I thought it would be nice if I could post it here :P


SPOILER
1. Any color ever imagined is a natural hair color.

2. No matter where you are hit or how minor the injury you will bleed out of your mouth.

3. All living things (and some non-living things) contain 50 gallons of blood and every single bit will pour out or shoot out geyser style if you get injured.

4. Nobody's hair is subject to the laws of gravity.

5. The old guy is the most perverted person ever. Or the most powerful. Or both.

6. Not showing your whole face doubles or triples your power.

7. Other worlds are found in incredibly random places.

8. He's your father.

9. Your eyes must be 3x the size of your nose.

10. You don't necessarily need a nose.

11. Being friends with the main character will automatically cause freaky stuff to happen to you.

12. Your hair will blow in the wind during a dramatic moment even in pouring rain or when there is no other breeze for 50 miles.

13. You're never too young to fight monsters.

14. If you're a girl, the fewer clothes you wear the better you are at fighting.

15. Or you will be completely annoying and of no use at all, and will probably either get in the way or cry hysterically. Or do both at the same time.

16. No matter how small you are, you can totally lift that weapon.

17. If you're cute enough, bubbles will spontaneously erupt behind you at random moments.

18. If it's undeniably impossible in real life, don't worry, you can totally pull it off.

19. Sleeping heals everything...EVERYTHING. So do bandages around your stomach.

20. Pupils? Psh, who needs em. Most likely if you don't have pupils, you have better power than those who do.

21. The cuter the animal is the more gruesome it will be when it kills you.

22. Travel of any form will either take 3 seconds, or 30 episodes.

23. Staying in one place for more than one season is referred to as 'being on Namek'.

24. One punch will fling you through a wall. And you will stand up, wipe off the dust, and be fine.

25. No matter how many explosions you survive, the love interest can kill you with one shot.

26. It will take either 297 episodes for the love interest to kiss you or it will never happen.

27. No matter how ugly you are, wings make you amazingly hot.

28. You're lips don't really have to match what you're saying.

29. You will sound absolutely horrible in English.

30. If it has more than two tails, it'll totally kick your ass.

31. Screaming for an obnoxiously long period of time or drawing out the name of your attack for a full minute will make it awesome, no matter what.

32. The girl in the schoolgirl uniform is way more powerful than you.

33. The longer the guy's hair, or the worse his attitude the sexier everyone thinks he is.

34. Every fight will contain a clip of a particularly good hit and will show it at least three times in 12 different angles and at least one close up.

35. You will be asked to do totally random and pointless things for filler while the writers try to catch up.

36. If your boobs wouldn't break your spine in real life then you probably won't last for more than a few episodes.

37. Your outfit will defy gravity.

38. If you stand on or near a cliff, you will have a painful flashback.

39. It’s not face paint, it's a birthmark. Or sleep deprivation.

40. The opening sequence has absolutely nothing to do with the main story, but looks really good anyway.

41. Nobody has body hair unless it's there for a joke.

42. There will be long boring speeches explaining why the good guy is good and why the bad guy is bad and how the bad guy is, better than, or just like the good guy because of these reasons.

43. The bad guy will try to bring the good guy over to his side.

44. The title doesn't have to have anything to do with the story, or even make sense.

45. Someone has to have amnesia, or at least has forgotten some important event.

46. The quiet girl is in love with you, and the girl you love either doesn't know, doesn't care, or loves your bitter rival.

47. Nobody ever has to use the bathroom, unless it's for a joke.

48. Somebody will have some sort of transformation.

49. The smallest person will eat the most food.

50. There will always be a giant version of some animal. And you will either have to ride it, kill it, or protect it.

51. There will be at least one overly muscular stupid guy.

52. If you can't tell if it's a boy or a girl, even after you hear them talk, it's probably a boy.

53. Cross-dressing will be required to get away from a bad guy, and the task will probably fall to either the main character or the biggest ugliest guy on the team.

54. Shadows do not have to make sense.

55. If you're eye is covered by hair, it will take something like a nuclear explosion to move it...or a plot device.

56. Dramatic lighting and single rays of light can turn any moment into a profound and meaningful moment.

57. Breathing under water? Totally possible.
