Nah I am pretty sure it was retarded. Then the publishers were like hmmm well everyone bought all this retarded **** already what can we sell them more of? And the author was all like well there is atleast a bajillion more retarded ideas in my head that I could use and everyone won. That is also why it didn't turn out like bleach (which devolved into DBZ with swords and ****) or Naruto (which devolved into a bad rendition of Crawling in my Skin by linkin park), it has just consistently been ridiculous and retarded from day one.
