As time went on, he got a better feel for how to hold specific shapes steady while carving them. He broke a ton of stones along the way, sometimes by accident, sometimes because his mana was too much for the surface to handle.
But once he got the hang of it, he returned to midair drawing, and this time it felt way easier. After failing who knows how many times, definitely over a million, he finally succeeded in keeping the magic circle stable in the air.
Luckily, mana was everywhere, and wasting it didn't matter. Any mana that scattered just ended up getting reabsorbed by his energy field and recycled.
So he kept going, pushing the limits. He started drawing multiple shapes at once and linking them together into complete diagrams.
Multitasking wasn't that hard. He just kept grinding it like a skill, forcing himself to improve. The real problem was making sure the overlapping loops didn't mess each other up.
Each mana pathway had a set flow direction, and if you weren't careful, it was like trying to drive two cars in opposite directions on a one-way street, inevitable crash.
So Belial went back to his usual solution: brute force. He trained until he could manually control every single part of the intersection, making sure the mana paths didn't collide.
It was dumb and overly complicated, and he was pretty sure there was a smarter way to do it. But then he remembered this one anime where a high schooler's brain worked like a supercomputer, and that gave him some weird sense of comfort.
If that guy could do it, then so could he especially in a world like this.
So he kept practicing, just to pass the time. Over and over, he drew more complex patterns, stacking shapes, forming layers, then moving from flat 2D symbols to full 3D structures.
Eventually, he even started adding motion, making the diagrams shift and rotate like living machines. With Godzilla's insane brain and processing speed, he could pull it off.
Then, for fun, he started drawing random things just because he could. Before long, he could sketch out magical girl characters in midair using nothing but pure mana. But even that didn't feel satisfying.
Then he had another flash of insight. "Wait… mana gives off light depending on how dense or active it is."
That changed everything.
If he could control the way mana lit up, both the brightness and the shape, he could actually draw pictures. Real pictures. He gave it a try.
First, he defined a small area and shaped a simple image, adjusting the glow of mana to create shadows and highlights. That was one frame.
Then he made a second one with slight changes. He kept repeating it, frame after frame, until he had a full sequence.
Finally, he started cycling through the frames at ridiculous speed—dozens, then hundreds of times per second. With just a bit more control over brightness, something incredible happened.
He did it. He created animation.
Belial had officially unlocked his greatest achievement in another world: creating anime entirely out of mana.
Belial's curiosity flared stronger than ever. He started using his magic to project images in midair, replaying every anime he still remembered from his past life.
Since he was the one controlling it, he took the liberty to tweak some scenes, changing sad endings and fixing unresolved plotlines the way he wanted.
With his recent training and strong learning ability, he managed to pull it off without completely messing up the visuals.
The only problem was the frame rate, it was still a bit choppy for someone like him with sharp, dynamic eyesight, and he had to blink regularly to smooth out the motion. There was also the issue of color; everything was still stuck in black and white.
Still, he went all in, editing scenes in real time with a level of focus that would make a theater director jealous.
In Jujutsu Kaisen As the chaos in Shibuya reaches its peak, Yuji Itadori and his allies find themselves overwhelmed by the relentless onslaught of cursed spirits.
Just when hope seems lost, a sudden surge of cursed energy emanates from the heart of the city. The Prison Realm shatters, and Satoru Gojo emerges, his presence immediately turning the tide of battle.
Gojo's return is not just a display of overwhelming power but also a moment of emotional resonance. He reunites with his students, offering words of encouragement and acknowledging their growth in his absence.
In the ensuing battle, Gojo confronts the primary antagonist, showcasing not only his formidable abilities but also strategic acumen.
The fight is intense, with Gojo pushing his limits to protect his students and the city. Ultimately, his actions inspire a coordinated effort among the sorcerers, leading to the defeat of the cursed spirits.
My Hero Academia's final ending changed. As the final battle against All For One and Shigaraki reaches its climax, the battlefield is a scene of devastation. Deku, having pushed One For All to its limits, stands battered and barely conscious.
Just as Shigaraki prepares to deliver a fatal blow, Bakugo intervenes, unleashing a new technique born from his relentless training and determination.
This new move, "Explosive Requiem," channels Bakugo's explosive power into a concentrated blast that momentarily incapacitates Shigaraki.
However, the strain of the attack leaves Bakugo severely injured. Despite his condition, he helps Deku to his feet, and together, they launch a coordinated assault that finally defeats Shigaraki.
In the aftermath, Bakugo is hailed as a hero who stood shoulder to shoulder with Deku in the world's darkest hour. Recognizing his growth and heroism, society begins to see Bakugo not just as a fierce warrior but as a symbol of redemption and resilience.
Years later, both Deku and Bakugo have become top heroes, leading a new generation with the lessons they've learned. Their rivalry has evolved into a deep mutual respect, and they continue to inspire others with their unwavering commitment to justice.
Every motion, every spark, every dramatic pause—he nailed it, frame by frame.
And he didn't stop there. He kept going, driven by both obsession and the sheer fun of it, even going so far as to remake a Re:Zero timeline where Subaru actually chose Rem first, because, as one fan had commented, "Justice for Best Girl, please."
His magical control kept improving until he proudly joked that he could probably craft a lithography machine with how steady his magic had become.
It was an exaggeration, of course, but it showed just how far he had come. Even though all this effort was originally just to make his projections smoother and clearer, it turned out to have other uses too.
With help from his energy field and the foundation he'd built up, his magical control kept pushing into smaller and smaller details. Eventually, while trying to boost the clarity of his magical images, he stumbled upon something new hidden within the magic elements.
He didn't make the discovery through any breakthrough or theory. It was simply because his control had reached such a small scale that he started noticing things he hadn't seen before.
