What's the most 'unexplainable' thing about a media you love?

To be more exact: Unexplainable within the rules of that universe is what I'm talking about.

And to be a lot more clear, I am talking IN universe, not as using 'logic' as an audience member.

There's a show I watched a long time ago called RWBY, and due to the nature of the wildlife, it goes with an accepted rule of 'everything can also be a gun' (And sometimes also a sword) there are quite a few silly (But cool) weapons and/or weapon transformations in this series, and I love it to death, but like excuse me, how does this work?


PS: If you haven't watched RWBY yet, what are you doing? Animation is a bit rough at the start but it only evolves with each season.
 
I have no idea how to answer this one.

Maybe that Sango can carry and throw such a giant boomerang...
Is the Boomerang comically oversized? Like guts's Giant Sword?

Another one of Mine is in Dragon Ball Z (Or really literally any show where they shout the name of their attack when they use it)
Protagonist: I'll use my special move and get in a sneak attack in.
Also Protagonist: wwww whattt?? How did they know I was sneak attacking?
Also Also the Protagonist: Shouted the name of their 'sneak' attack at the top of their lungs.

It happens SO often I'm surprised that there's not memes about it. I mean sure it's a common thing in Shonen anime, but it's still funny.
It's even funnier when the villains do it.

You dare tell me I must go and immediately watch RWBY, but you have not seen Inuyasha? For shame..

Surprisingly hard to find a good pic of her with the boomerang (Hiraikotsu).

Also, its not just that she can throw it, but with such perfect precision, and recovery as well.

PS: Don't get me wrong. I love this character, and her weapon. My fav part is hearing her shout Hiraikotsu when she throws it, and a lot of Inuyasha has characters with improbable weapons, but...the boomerang stands out to me. I'll also say that Inuyasha has done a masterful job of creating unique characters with one of a kind abilities.

I've seen a BIT of it, yet to watch it in full but I need to watch it. Probably gonna make it the next show I watch.
If you love that character's goofy weapon you'd probably love RWBY, lots of nonsensical weapons (That are also guns, and sometimes ALSO swords.) There's also a character based off of Sun Wukong who has nunchucks that also function as shot guns. lol Though the show's writing quality drops like a rock in season's 5 + Up Til then it's very good. Even the sternest of fans refuse to accept volumes 5 + as canon.
