I'm recommending Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated cartoon for everyone. I love it more than anything else in the Star Wars series. Over one hundred episodes of sci-fi wonder.
I'm scared of what havoc we could cause in Disney properties.
Considering the works in the list and what's going on in the Hero Academia anime right now... would anyone be interested in a tournament arc? Imagine us going to some universe, enrolling, and then roaming the multiverse between matches. I get the feeling that Ochako will want to test her new abilities in a practical manner after realizing her return home will take a while. Super Smash Bros, RWBY (if she gets Jumpchain companions), Final Fantasy, and any D&D setting with a gladiator battle are just a few of the options for a competitive arc. Who knows what the prize could be.
Ideally we'd purchase a few merits beforehand, but I'm just throwin' ideas around.
Edit: Have you played Transistor? The opportunity to use one or more Functions through... potentially any of our magical gear would be terrific. And it would be a Sci-Fi world!

what setting would net us a set of micro-thrusters with high endurance attached to a harness? they don't need to be powerful but we can use her power on the harness to let us fly.
[x] Stay. Convince him that you're not Ruin.
-[X] "I'm not ruin. I don't ruin anything, or at least I've tried my hardest not to so far in my life and I don't plan to either. My name is Ochiko Uraraka and I'm a superhero in training. My job is to help people and, no offense sir but this world seems like it needs a lot of help. What happened here to make things so horrible?"

World 5: Mistborn (Luthadel)
'The Ruin'
-----
Ochako wasn't sure where she found the strength. Maybe it was the dog talisman and its promise of invulnerability, maybe it was the 'demon' stuck in the card, or the fact she was probably a magic girl now, or just the past few hours, but Ochako didn't run from this obviously unhinged man with a mind-affecting quirk. No one had told her, but in the way that some heroes are born, not made, she knew she couldn't walk away.
Either he was insane and needed help, or he was insane and had killed thousands. Either way, she couldn't just run.
"I'm not ruin," she told him.
He turned, gazed at her flatly.
Then he gestured, it took a moment for Ochako to understand that he was pointing at her costume. "Plastics, Ruin? Unaltered human physiognomy? That low buzz, circling your head? I may not understand the how of it, but that does not mean I do not recognize it. What, will you tell me that the men in the South have already achieved flight and radio?" His lip curled. "Leave."
"I told you, I'm not Ruin." She started quietly walking towards him, balancing delicately on the slanted roof she found herself on. Just a touch and he'd be neutralized. She kept up a slow running murmur to deflect his attention. "I don't ruin anything, or at least I've tried my hardest not to so far in my life and I don't plan to either."
He scoffed, and she froze as the roof around her feet vibrated. Then a loose tile tore off with a metallic shriek, flashing away near her head: she yelped and ducked, but it missed her, ka-laaaaaanging against something else instead before ricocheting away.
"Hm."
Ochako raised her eyes to see him staring at fascination at his own hand. He raised it: it was like he was holding a... Ochako patted the air around her head desperately, but the communication ball she'd gotten from the golden grass battlefield wasn't there anymore. It was, she suspected, held, invisibly, in his grip.
She saw him raise his eyes to peer at her, and it was like he was seeing her for the first time. Years melted off of him and she could almost think of him as being human.
"What are you?" he whispered.
Well, at least the ball was still working. She coughed lightly into her fist.
"My name is Ochako Uraraka and I'm a superhero in training."
He blinked, nonplussed. "What is a 'soo pah hee ro?''"
Apparently the ball had limits when it came to communication: it couldn't actually translate alien concepts.
"Well, basically, my job is to help people and, no offense sir but this world seems like it needs a lot of help. What happened here to make things so horrible?"
3 successes needed (-2 difficulty, clearly not a Ruin-type self-introduction + ToG pocket) 1 success needed
Cooperation 4: 4 dice = 9,5,3,8 (2 successes)
PASSED
He smiled. It was awful.
"Me."

"Stay by my side. Ruin is everywhere."
Since the man then launched himself off the tower he was standing on and towards the big, central, villainous looking spire in the distance like an impeccably stylish clown shot out of the mouth of a cannon - Ochako found this to be a little difficult. Still, with a little zero gravity and a running start she could all but fly.
"Who or what is Ruin?" she asked, after she had caught up. This had taken several minutes. She was pretty sure the man had backtracked to make sure she could keep up.
From above, without the sun in the distance making a mess of her vision, Ochako had noted how torches had burned clear lines from the city towards what she could only think of as the 'palace.' The clearly evil palace. Up close, the more distant lines resolved themselves into a multitude of spike-ridden towers. They came in all different shapes and sizes: some nothing more than finger-wide spars of jutting metal, wide enough to accommodate people.
"Everywhere," he replied cryptically.
Ochako, whose legs were much shorter than his, had to run to keep up with him. Her footsteps clanged roughly on cold stone, while her eyes couldn't quite make out fine details. That might explain why she nearly ran into a man before she noticed that his eyes had been replaced by bloody spikes.
"OHMIGOD," was her reaction.
"Master?" the thing said, presumably staring at Ochako. He turned his head to the man and yup the spikes went all the way through his head. Instant nightmare material, right there, all nice and ready to join up with landing in a warzone, seeing a villain cannibal butcher, seeing a skinless man get up, getting hit by a laser and meeting a man who claimed he'd killed thousands of people.
Oh, she was not looking forward to going to bed tonight. If sleep was even a thing she could indulge in anymore.
"Kars, this is a... Superhero. She is a guest, and not to be harmed. Have it be known."
The spike-headed man looked like he was about to refuse, but then he bowed his head. "As you wish, master."
"I do."
After the apparition had gone, and they had traveled some distance through cavernous corridors, the man spoke.
"I realize I have not introduced myself. I am the Lord Ruler. You may refer to me as Lord."
"Kind of you," Ochako replied, with instinctive sarcasm that she regretted the moment it had left her lips.
He ignored it.
"To be surprised by my Inquisitor... to not know who I am... to be frightened, but for the wrong reasons entirely, you lack fundamental knowledge of this world, I think. You are a traveler?"
She stared at him. How had he...?
"When I can be bothered, I am quite intelligent," he said dryly. "I have known for some time that there are other worlds. Travelers between them I have... suspected, never proven. An exasperating conundrum. Until you. How did you come here?"
The question was innocent, but she could grasp, instinctively, a hunger.
"An accident," Ochako replied apologetically. "This is my fifth world in as many hours."
"Ah? Unfortunate. If it were a known process I could... but nevermind. Another question: has anyone else managed to come with you?"
She thought of The Butcher card burning a hole in her pocket. "Yes. Once."
"Was there anything special about this person's circumstances?"
Ochako thought back. The taste of fear in her mouth, the way he'd tried to chop her in half. "I... we had fought. I'd managed to touch him and..."
Was it related to her quirk? Had activating her quirk and the portal at the same time sent whatever her quirk had activated alongside her?
"...I think I know how he followed me."
"Good. We are here."
They had made it to a wall. A blank wall. Well, not blank, it was made of piled up stones, but the point still stood. It was a dead end.
The Lord Ruler touched a few stones in exactly the right places and then twisted the air with his hand. The entire wall caved in like a giant, pebbly flower. Inside was a very ordinary looking room, if you thought of ordinary in terms of holes in the wall that contained little more than a storage closet worth of space, a small wooden desk and a small wooden chair were normal.
The Lord ruler opened the drawer of the desk. Inside were eight flasks of some pale, shimmery ball floating in water.
"I offer you two boons in exchange for two boons. First..." he gestured at the desk. "These are eight fragments of power alloyed to another. Slivers of divinity. Swallow one and it will give you a mastery over one aspect of allomancy. I will choose one for you, and then you may choose one for yourself."
"In exchange, however, I would like for you to take an... observer with you when you next travel between worlds, and return him when you are capable or ready. Can such a deal be struck between us?"
We can already do Iron and Steel, Tin takes learning how to handle the heightened senses, and Pewter is common. Shutting down an emotion is not very common and very useful to prevent being attacked by spooked dudes..
also, i have no idea about the world. There are some i'd like if we stayed longer, but 5 hours isn't really long enough for much interesting to happen.
Will these pieces regenerate after use or just be digested? Or could they be far superior to the normal materials?
What does everyone think about gifting the second allomancy power to someone we meet in a Jump?
[x] Accept.
[x] Brass (soothes emotions)
[x][world] Pacific Rim
Let's go help out in the mech vs kaiju world! We can help pilots experiencing distress with brass (if we use it), live through a big attack via talismans, and chuck any removed pieces at the monsters.
Merit suggestion for our exp:
[x] 6xp Sherlock Scan (Major): Adds one die to Intelligence when searching the environment.
Ehhh... It depends, really. Sure it would be nice to gift a power to someone if we think they're worthy/in need of it, but in game terms it would basically be giving up a potentially useful ability. Plus, due to the nature of the jumps, we probably wouldn't even stick around long enough to see it actually be of benefit to the person we gave it to.

At this point, if you want to go home, I'm going to let you. You won't be able to stay, but...
You can go home.
If you go home I'll give you the option of appearing in:
[x][home] five minutes after you vanished
[x][home] five hours after you vanished
[x][home] five days after you vanished
The more time has passed, the longer you get to stay home. Five minutes gets you five hours of downtime at home, five hours gets you five days, five days gets you five weeks. Unless you mess around and accidentally go traveling around the multiverse again.
This probably reveals more about the jumpchain mechanics than I should (it was supposed to be discovered through trial and error), but we're a small group so I trust you can use the power responsibly.

from what I remember he's a monster that is stopping some form of even greater evil from breaking free and eating everything. If anything he would try to use world traveling to look for a solution to the problems of his world.
The first page has our character sheet. The spellbook absorbed on contact when we entered the next world. We know it, we can use it, and we have the option of upgrading it at the cost of exp. Our heroine just hasn't intentionally used magic before messing with the Sealing Staff. Arc one is supposed to be about Ochako learning the jumpchain rules, limitations, and consequences. Afterwards things might calm down, but we'll be a ways away from accomplishing any goals. It has a daily limit too so it isn't the safest option right now. So this is a bad time to think things through or practice. I think we will do our best at this stage by buying merits as opposed to upgrading powers.
If we take any metal, shouldn't we go to a world that could stand up well against this guy, or might cause him to rethink about traveling should he learn how to?

CLAMPverse canonically exists which means Tsubasa Reservoir exists which means that with the right setting, the observer too could learn to plane shift.
As for that world, the answer is: never read it before, but I see no reason why it couldn't work.

It's also a anime. Bottom line the most interesting thing there are mystical, magical books that can grant and/or achieve different things/effects and little humanoid libraries that seek them.
Here the opening if you're interested.
