Yeah, comic logic is "let me explain it in excruciating detail that will still make no sense," while manga logic is "it's this improbable thing now shut up and go with it." I probably wouldn't have much patience for comic book logic if I hadn't first been exposed to it at age 12.

SDK explains all the overpoweredness away with either "MIBU GENETICS!" (90% of people) or "Raised by person with Mibu genetics!" (Akira, Mahiro.) Then there's "I don't know so I'll say samurai blood makes it possible! I'll distract you from the total lack of logic by having Akira angst now!" (Benitora, Bon)
