    1. Depends on when he shows up, actually. Because Alice had significant problems controlling and initiating her precog at will earlier in the series.
    2. They're going to know this one black dude showed up, killed everyone and then walked away. Sure. And see 4 for Demetri
    3. Blade's handled far tougher in Dracula and Deacon Frost via film, let alone the comics. And depending on when he shows up, they might even help him kill the Cullens. So...
    4. Demetri needs to be in their presence and taste their mind to track them to do that. So you're going to need bring him over from Italy, then track someone he's never met before. Well, he can track Blade if he meets someone who met him, but that of course requires him knowing who the fuck Blade is. And then of course finding him and killing him are two separate matters.

    Also, pretty much all Blade needs is some local vampire blood and he'd pretty much be in business. That dude goes superhuman once he gets his hands on blood, so imagine what he'll do with some turbo shit. :sherlock:

    Neither Deacon Frost nor Bladeverse Dracula could take a Twilight vamp :/. They're more badass, sure, but neither of them had the speed or strength of a typical Twivamp.

    I also say good luck in Blade getting his hands on any of their blood. See aforementioned speed and strength.

    Do Twilight vampires even bleed? For them losing limbs seems to be the equivalent of a statue's arm breaking off, IIRC.

    I think they have their venom in place of blood, but I'm not sure so I didn't want to bring it up.

    Your forgetting one thing, we are versing world vs world here, and it's simple comparison, in Twilight vamps are far faster and stronger than Blade vamps, including Blade and the rest of the big ones. You don't even need to take in any fancy abilities the twilight vampires have.

    In a direct comparison, they don't compete, by the time Blade runs ten meters Twilight vamps are past the 100 meter mark and and still haven't reached top speed. Or instead of speed, lets compare a fight. What's that? A twilight vampire picked up a fucking car and threw it at Blade, far faster than he could hope to react too? Oh shit.

    This isn't a how awesome Blade is, because he is, but more a Twilight verse is way more overpowered than Blades verse. It doesn't matter that on pure ability, Blade is the better fighter, when the opposition fighter is far faster and stronger than Blade by miles. It's not a slight difference, its like a toddler trying to outrun Usain Bolt, or trying out lift a professional weight lifter. It just ain't happening, no matter how cute that toddler is.

    If Blade were to cure himself of vampirsim, and get bitten by a Twilight vamp though... Game On. :sherlock:

    Blade as a vampire in Twilightverse. Just transplant his backstory into the universe where he doesn't shine like a disco ball or need to drink blood to live. You now have a Blade who can literally tear through most of the cast of Twilight.

    You really are going the full length to make it so Blade can't lose.

    If you're that desperate to prove that the Blade universe is better then the Twilight one, via how powerful Blade is, then you've completely missed the point. Edward Cullen being able to beat up someone because he's faster, smarter, stronger and can read minds doesn't prevent the story from reading like the author is an underfucked housewife.

    I'm not saying he'd kill every single vampire in Twilight verse and get away with it. I'm saying he could handle the Cullens with prep-time and expecting the Volturi to figure out who the fuck did it and hunt him down is a tall order when they're dealing with an unknown.

    I still disagree, but I'm sick of arguing in favour of Twilight over Blade, so I'm going to stop here.

    Well he is a Marvel character with connections. What he could do with prep time is ridiculous.

    I say five minutes. 4 minutes for the Twilight vamps to tear him apart while he is standing there laughing. 20 seconds for him to reform. And then 40 seconds while he plays with his food.

    Couldn't get into it at all. Like, as a concept, I just struggled to find zero interest in reading more of it at all. It's not that I'm against the whole "going to the future" fic as a guilty pleasure idea I often wish I could read for many fiction, I just don't think it works all that great with canon Naruto. Although that could also be that I lost all interest in canon Naruto around that part of the story anyway...

    Wow, I'd never seen this before. This is great!

    It's kinda sad that the standard of voice acting for a YouTube parody like this is better than most official dubs...

    Jarik, it works.
    Rather brilliantly, even.
    The younger-Naruto-gets-thrown-into-the-future device isn't something I've come across before, but what really makes the fic is the sheer depth she has managed to give his character.
    It isn't very often that I find a main character whose fate I'm really interested in and this, combined with the author's above average technical writing skill and the hints at an overarching plot, makes this the first Naruto fic I've been excited about since Shezza.
    I'm going to recc it for the Library once the next chapter proves that I haven't hallucinated its greatness.

    Do you guys remember the movie Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, by Dreamworks?

    If your answer was no, then watch it, and then come back to read the rest of this post.

    If your answer was yes, congratulations, you have taste. Now tell me what you think of this, Chaos Through Adventure. I watched the movie (for the 24857294th time) again recently, and it gave me the incentive to write a few words about it.

    Edited because I no want banz.
