Worst Users Of Every Power

Nominating Derek Baum for worst Purification (Type 1). His Kitchen Gun and Toilet Grenade can clean surfaces, removing germs, stains, grease, rust, limescale, etc. However, they're also actual weapons so whatever they're used to clean (assuming they're not magically more durable than they appear) will most likely get damaged or blown up. Derek doesn't care about this and will still use them as long as they remove the filth, even if they destroy something in the process. If the only thing they can safely clean is a literal tank then why not just use a regular cleaning product at that point?

Also, small question. For abilities such as Immortality, are we allowed to nominate a different character for each of their types or is only one character allowed?

I nominate Nanno from Girl from Nowhere for being the worst user of blood manipulation.

Nanno is a demon / demi-goddess in the form of a human, whose aim is to be the bringer of karma, punishing humans using very particular methods in accordance with karmic retribution and poetic justice. This is easy for her because she is super clever, has immortality and has many other supernatural abilities. In season 2, she saw potential in another clever girl named Yuri, who kind of outsmarted her for a moment. Yearning a challenge, Nanno decided to grant Yuri the same immortality and paranormal effects she has, letting Nanno have a worthy rival on her missions. This was done by Nanno non-physically moving blood in water, into Yuri's mouth after she had drowned, to make her immortal and bestow her power.

There's no evidence Nanno can use blood manipulation in any way other than moving it in water and being a means of power bestowal. As strongly implied during the Wonderwall story from season 1, Nanno can bestow her powers into something just by thinking it, so blood manipulation is basically just an extra unnecessary step.

Nanno actively jeopardized her role as the bringer of karma and had put humanity in danger by giving Yuri her powers. Both characters can be cruel, but Nanno prioritizes slow and meticulous methods of punishment that suit people's misdeeds and situations, whereas Yuri's sense of justice is selfish and she doesn't care about who dies if it means victims quickly get the pleasure to triumph over those who wrong them. Nanno is more responsible with the power to avoid consequences and I bet most people would rather Nanno be the judge, but she had put herself in a situation where she had to win a sort of battle of wits in order to maintain being the bringer of karma, risking Yuri revolutionizing the world by spreading Nanno's powers to more bullied psychopaths.

I know it's technically useful to be able to use blood manipulation for power bestowal that grants a long list of abilities, but until someone finds a worse blood manipulation user, I think Nanno is a good choice to list as the worst one. In summary, the only advantage she can get from her blood manipulation is power bestowal that she doesn't need blood manipulation to perform anyway, and the canonical way she utilized blood manipulation was to her disadvantage.
Since Nanno hasn't won the spot yet, I'll nominate this skeleton for worst Blood Manipulation. It can constantly ooze blood despite having no organs to do so. The blood itself seems to have no other supernatural properties and is effectively the same as normal human blood. Vampires and other blood manipulation users be eating good with this one.
 
Nominating the European Honeybee for worst Bodily Weaponry. Its most effective weapon can inject venom into a target, but it can only really use the stinger once before losing it along with some of its vital organs which causes it to die shortly after.
Nominating Sad Larry for worst Supernatural Luck, Power Bestowal, and Empathic Manipulation. Another extremely unlucky character - won't you look at that!

Now hear me out. While Larry's bad luck doesn't seem to cause destruction on the same scale as Bennett's AND it also prevents him from dying as he is suicidal, this is all intentionally done to make him as miserable as possible. I think how much the user suffers from their bad luck is a more important factor than how potent it is. You don't need to cause an earthquake to ruin someone's life. Sometimes, all you need is to give them severe PTSD by making them fatally wound their own father in a car accident. None of the other candidates for these abilities are in as much misery as Larry which is why I think he deserves the spot.



Listing out every single bad thing that has happened to him will take me a lot of time so here's a video.

By the way, the only reason I won't nominate his Toon Force for the worst as well even though it's pretty useless is because a kiss is one of the few things that can bring Larry happiness other than, well, death.

Welp...Characters from Final Fantasy XIII for Precognition and Retrocognition. It only allows for one to see changes throughout timelines, and it slowly kills the user every time it happens. Only being alleviated if it happens in a timeless void (but as soon as one returns to a place where time functions normally, it almost immediately catches up with you).

Ahem, make sure to actually link a profile or verse next time.

I'd also like to elaborate further on his Empathic Manipulation just to make it clear how bad it is. While the profile doesn't mention it, Larry's bad luck seems to be able to influence people to become angry and hostile towards him without any reasonable cause, or at least make them indifferent to the things he goes through.
 
Nominating Firecracker for worst Fire Manipulation. Jimmy can at least set himself AND his enemies on fire under specific conditions while a literal lighter would be more effective than Misty.
 
Nominating the Minecraft Cow (Mooshroom key) for worst Fungus Manipulation. Both the red and brown variants have mushrooms growing on their skin. These are permanently lost once removed with a pair of shears, turning Mooshrooms into normal cows. All they really seem to do is make Mooshrooms immune to lightning damage.

Nominating the Shotgun Farmer for worst Corrosion Inducement, Regeneration, and Size Manipulation.
For the first two, the Farmer while playing as a snowman in the Hide and Freeze gamemode will start melting apart if he stays still for too long. Moving around will allow him to stop the melting and regenerate his form.



However, this regeneration seems to only apply to melting specifically. As you can see in the video above, he doesn't regain any health when he gets damaged by Seekers or when he's set on fire (even though he does regenerate his form after being melted slightly by the heat).
For Size Manipulation, the Farmer's head grows bigger in the Big Head Snipers gamemode. In case you couldn't tell, this has no practical usage and just makes his head a bigger target.

So:

1. Corrosion Inducement because he has a snowman disguise made of snow that melts, & that's the "corrosion"?
2. He can only regenerate his snowman disguise? (& only while moving.)

1. It's on the profile. The snow just melts unnaturally fast when he hasn't moved for a bit even when it's cold outside.
2. Yeah but he'll also die if he loses it because, well, he's an actual snowman.

Strange for snow melting to be listed as Corrosion Inducement, but I guess it is what it is. Shrug.

Oh, lol.
 
Nominating Pearl for worst Sand Manipulation. She has only ever used this ability once to create and control small sand figurines. I guess it can be a pretty cool party trick like Constantine's Water and Smoke Manipulation?

Admittedly I am working on a revision for the profile that removes the Corrosion and Regeneration abilities.

Size Manipulation is staying though

She might be tied with Bolin for the same reason. He's only been shown to use sandbending once to make a (rather bad) sculpture.

It's worth noting that this is when he has just started getting the hang of sandbending and while we haven't seen him use it after this point yet, he has probably gotten much better at it considering how much time has passed since then and how he's skilled enough to lavabend which is a more complicated application of earthbending.
 
Stride Vollachia as he has a body riddled with curses making him super weak and not only is he unskilled as **** in a verse where the average warrior can outskill goku, summoning the sword would destroy his mind,body and soul first

Yang sword also has
 
Theresia Van Astrea for Holy Manipulation, she literally never drew the sword in her life and the only time it was used was AGAINST her. The holiness of it also has no functional purpose at all

Holy Manipulation with Reid (Reid is the most holy blade in the world, and is blessed by the Sword God himself)

Grimm for weapon mastery, can ONLY use a Shield and has no other way of attacking anybody

And someone you might not have expected

Reinhard Van Astrea, He has these 2 blessings
  • Unnamed Anti-Nuke Divine Protection: If a tactical nuke was used against him, it wouldn't go off. [Nukes dont exist in his verse]
  • Divine Protection of Salt Reasoning: He never mistakes salt with sugar.

Blessings have these:


Also petelgeuse and Regulus for Precognition

Limited Precognition (Archbishops have gospel's which tells them the future, however the gospel's are incomplete and it's contents are vague, varying depending upon the interpretation)

Not only is it almost completely useless aside from giving them orders, it lead to both of their deaths which i will argue is worse than the current one because atleast it gives him a somewhat useful information (and doesnt cause death 💀)

Looks like we got ourselves another Straizo situation.
Theresia Van Astrea for Holy Manipulation, she literally never drew the sword in her life and the only time it was used was AGAINST her.
Isn't it just because there was no opponent whom the sword deemed worthy enough to be drawn against? Ironically, the sword when used by Reinhard deemed Theresia herself a worthy opponent.
The holiness of it also has no functional purpose at all
Divine Protection of the Sword Saint which seems to be the Sword God directly aiding the user? Also, I'm pretty sure Holy Manipulation is naturally super effective against demonic, monstrous, or otherwise evil beings.
Grimm for weapon mastery, can ONLY use a Shield and has no other way of attacking anybody
It says on the profile that he can use swords as well. Even if he can only use shields specifically, at least he's very good at it and has a strategic mind. Spear Thrower literally just stands still and lets the opponent run up and hit him.

As funny as it is, these abilities apply to all of his blessings, the majority of which are much much more useful.

She was born in an era where the sword is unusable, and yes Theresia being the worthy opponent is truly the most ironic thing about her life
Divine Protection of the Sword Saint which seems to be the Sword God directly aiding the user?
that is the Divine protection, the sword itself is useless by itself (Unless you are Reinhard and can use even the sheath as a ******* weapon)
Also, I'm pretty sure Holy Manipulation is naturally super effective against demonic, monstrous, or otherwise evil beings.
None of which exist in ReZero 😭

Fair enough

yes but these specific divine protections are useless
BTW just letting you know that most divine protections are even worse than this

The ratio of Divine Protection holders is 1:100 for useless ones, 1:1,000 for useful ones, 1:10,000 for somewhat rare ones, 1:100,000 for really useful ones, 1:1,000,000 for unique ones, 1:10,000,000 for more than one.

Still going to be useful if she happens to be fighting a demon or something similar from a different verse. I would argue that anyone with a Witch Factor would qualify even though they may not be necessarily evil.

Good thing Reinhard can just get any Divine Protection.

The sword itself cannot be drawn by her though

and no, there is no confirmation on any of them being weak to Reid
Good thing Reinhard can just get any Divine Protection.
the powers i sent weren't for all divine protections but for the divine protection of sodium knowledge only (which by itself is a useless dp that a lot of people probably have)
It would be the prime waste of law manipulation and blessed
 
The sword itself cannot be drawn by her though
Is that an actual weakness specific to her or just the sword refusing to be drawn against unworthy foes?

But those abilities apply to all Divine Protections which make them not useless. If Reinhard only had those two specifically then it would indeed be a waste (the fact that he felt the need to obtain them means they're useful to him somehow even if they don't give him insane powers).

Robin for worst resurrection instead of Koichi Zenigata.
Although situational his ability to restart his heart did save his life and can be useful.

And although Robin's did saved his life as well it is much more limited. It work in only one specific scenario:
-If he dies by fatally wounding Grima himself which would kill the both of them.
But for it to work, the bond he must have with his comrades must be stronger than those he have with Grima and even then the probability is rather slim.
Also he reappear in a random location months, if not years after his disappearance.

The sword has a will of its own and is stubborn as ****

We are specifically talking about the weakest ones, btw this ability is even more useless in the hands of Reinhard because his godly intuition alone would never let him make this kind of mistake

The entire ability qualifies (or doesn't), not just facets of it

Yeah I'm gonna just put this at the bottom cause I don't want him to take up a bunch of slots
Also petelgeuse and Regulus for Precognition

Not only is it almost completely useless aside from giving them orders, it lead to both of their deaths which i will argue is worse than the current one because atleast it gives him a somewhat useful information (and doesnt cause death 💀)
To my understanding the idea is that overusing their powers kills them? I don't think that's worse than the current one, which is useless in all scenarios

Divine protections are different powers, it would be more accurate to call Divine blessings a power system with each one having a unique ability

Unless you want to argue that each grimoire in Black Clover is essentially the same

You have that completely wrong, how do you even overuse a book?

Then nominate the actual abilities those two Divine Blessings grant instead of the abilities they all share.

Ok but they are all "Blessed, Limited Soul Manipulation & Law Manipulation" so unless you have a character that only has the bad ones, they don't count.

If I have it completely wrong it's because the profiles don't explain it well, I don't see how you expect me to glean it beyond that.

We are talking about the worst users of every power, Reinhard is the worst user of the DP of sodium knowledge because his physiology already assists him with that and so the dp is completely useless to him
If I have it completely wrong it's because the profiles don't explain it well, I don't see how you expect me to glean it beyond that.
The profile explains it pretty well, I have no clue how you gleaned them overusing their precog when that has never been mentioned on their profiles (Also they have superhuman stamina)

How does it kill them, then?
 
Mario (and other playable characters in Super Mario Bros Wonder) for Immortality Type 7 and probably the worst layered hax example. Yeah, the ghosts in Super Mario Bros Wonder only last five seconds and they can't do shit while they're ghosts.

They can be revived by contact with other player characters or the other player characters' Standees, though, no?
(& also, they're mostly Invulnerable during those 5 seconds, as opposed to a lot of 'verses' ghosts, no?)
