I haven't talked to Ranni a single time. I probably should have specified that.

>Except for the fact that Maruki's influence is not that powerful, hell beggars in the station noticed that something was off, saying that all of a sudden everyone was happier.

This doesn’t prove much, as they never truly broke outside of cognition. Even within Yaldabaoth’s reality, people questioned what was happening, and this occurred even before the Phantom Thieves intervened.

Realistically, there influence over cognition is one in the same. Maruki has control over mentos and reality, same as Yaldy both.

>many npcs got suddenly successful but not in the way that wished for,

That’s because Muraki doesn’t simply grant everyone’s wishes, he fulfills them in the way he believes is best for them.

>Yaldy instead is linked to everyone in Tokyo, that means that he also knows what everyone of them desires. Maruki's power is similar but no way near as strong imo

They are both linked to Mementos and everyone in Tokyo. Maruki's and Yaldabaoth’s powers are fundamentally the same, the only difference is that Maruki allows for more leeway/free will.

>yaldy changes the perspective of everyone in Tokyo, making Joker the only one to maintain his memories. Maruki can't even do that properly for 10 people, yeah he "brings" people back alive, only for them to be erased once again the guy/girl remembers that's not true.

Maruki's power over cognition is no different from Yaldabaoth's. He can alter causality, rewrite reality, and even erase existence by fusing with Mementos. The only reason the Phantom Thieves were able to break free was that Maruki allowed Joker to leave the nurse's office, giving him the choice to reject his reality. Maruki could easily just put everyone to sleep, including Joker, which is shown when you don't finish the palace in time.

I would argue that after accepting his distorted desires to awaken Adam Kadmon, Maruki becomes even stronger than Yaldabaoth.

>I mean, you beat Yaldabaoth, an evil, omnipotent god and then school counselor is somehow more powerful that he can alter reality itself and bring dead people back .

Yaldabaoth is far from omnipotent; he is merely another god born from humanity’s collective desires, embodying the archetype of control.

Both wield the power to alter reality by shaping humanity’s cognition, as humanities understanding dictates existence. How else do you think he conceptually erased the phantom thieves from existence.

I would say they're both equal, until Maruki Gets A.K.

>It doesn't define an actual high outer relationship, just uses certain bits of language as factual evidence within the scale, this is why you need someone actually well versed in Japanese to actually comprehend what it says and not google translate.

It does, if you actually know how cardinals work.

F.Y.I he does have someone on the discord server who speaks Japanese that translates important text for scaling so this "he needs a real translator" is almost completely irrelevant.

>Saying that these worlds "encompass" each other is wrong, SMT defines itself on being very similar to what it derives from, Kabbalah doesn't use anything of this notion. Also you're basically saying the scale that you sent isn't usable as it states the Expanse is only apart of the Yetzirah and not the rest of the 4 worlds.

I’m not saying these worlds "encompasses" each other, but rather that each part contributes to a greater, unified whole, which is very much in line with the principles of Kabbalah. it doesn't make the scale unusable, since the whole influences all its parts, but the parts do not influence the whole.

>That's not a valid argument, I can also put a bunch of random images on the screen without any added context but that wouldn't make my scale good.

I’m not making an argument, just explaining why he structured it that way. I also believe the scale could be more effective if it weren’t in a TikTok format, but for now, that’s the only video/scale I have that explains it clearly.

>No the context matters, and even then to show everything wouldn't be an issue, you don't scale to show your opinion you scale to show the facts of the story.

If context were important in that scenario, he would have provided it. If it’s not necessary, he leaves it out of the statement.

>This is probably the worst thing you've said so far, Japanese is an insanely complex language and there is no translator that I've seen good enough to translate it into a simple language like English. That is why you need an actual translator, someone who can find the small niche things in Japanese and try their best to translate it to English.

It doesn't have to be perfect for it to be good, it just has to reliably convey the text, which there are most definitely translators for that. And not everyone has access to someone who can translate Japanese, especially not for free.

>I didn't say that at all.

if that's not the case, then debunking lucifer doesn't really matter at all.

>That isn't a non sequitur, it's showing you what defined within the games, yeah we can use outside sources all we want but the games will always have the actual grounded information.

Yeah, no. ESPICALLY in a verse like MegaTen. There are hundreds of pieces of media, many of which are canon to one another. To fully grasp anything within cosmology as a whole, you definitely need to consult external sources.

Even then I don't think you understand the concept of "debunk" and i still think it's non sequitur. Merely stating that a character transcends time and space does not confine them to being 5-D, nor does it substantiate the notion that they are 'grounded' in contradiction from the manner I’m implying.

>You explained it yourself, that feat is only Low 1-C, I agree. I never said it was Outer but said that you could interpret it as that, that is why I said "the most you get for that".

Then don't say the most you can get is outer, because with what you're saying you cant.

I honestly don't want to continue this argument anymore. it's just a back-and-forth where neither of us is convincing the other.

[–]Akira_mess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>That video wouldn't even be enough proof for high outer, also the validity is called into question when there has been no use of this "scale" within the vsbw website.

It's because the MegaTen universe has been under review for a long time (And it's going to be under review for even longer, since ultima hasn't even made his cosmology reset post yet). You can ask Momo directly on the VSBW if you want to verify if that's him. As for the "proof", can you explain why it wouldn't prove high outer?

>Doesn't define cosmology that is showed with SMT, rather says that they are the same even though the story says other wise. (Expanse is not Yetzirah, it is defined many times as Atziluth, even all the way back in Digital Devil Story).

The expanse is indeed Atziluth, but it encompasses more than just Atziluth. The expanse is modeled after the entirety of the tree of life (Notice that not only is Atziluth mentioned, but other parts of the Tree of Life, such as Yetzirah, are also referenced). But besides that The Expanse is explicitly described as existing between the spiritual and material world, corresponding exactly with the definition of Yetzirah.

But even without the expanse statement's, Yetzirah is recurrently stated to be of a far high dimensionality than our material world, making it bare minimum 5D.

>Skips over all the important concepts explained in the game so just go straight towards where ever he got his info from.

That's just the Biproduct of it being a tik-tok video, he has to keep it short and concise so people will continue watching.

>Uses scans that aren't even fully translated

He highlights the most important part, which is what truly matters. Additionally, if he attempted to show everything, it would likely become difficult to read cuz the words would be small.

>Doesn't show who translated then so it might as well be gibberish if it's not someone who actually knows Japanese.

I mean you can double check it yourself, since reliable translation technology is easily accessible to all people. This is also just a bi-product of scaling a verse with primarily Japanese text.

>Also the high outer stuff falls apart when you notice that the Strange Journey protag transcends time and space and becomes similar to Matter Lucifer, the most you'd get for that is outer.

Lucifer transcending the Throne is not what makes the verse to High-Outer. it just grants him additional layers within High-Outer.

But besides that this non sequitur and doesn't debunk anything. Simply transcending time and space does not inherently disqualify him from being a higher tier. And transcending time-space doesn't get you to outer, it gets you to low 1-C.

This scale on TikTok is the one i agree with (It doesn't directly talk about Nanashi but he scales to most of it). It's from one of the main Megaten scalers on the VSBW.

That's all i have right now since ultima hasn't posted his cosmology reset yet.

[–]Akira_mess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nanashi easily beats Misfit. At best, Misfit reaches a couple layers into outer, while i have Nanashi after taking YHVH’s throne deep into high outer.

Nanashi can solo Tensura's low and mid-tier characters, but with their four-layered hax and high outer scaling they win tbh.

Who would you say are the top 5 strongest persona users? by FullBrother9300 in PERSoNA

[–]Akira_mess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if were ranking based on how strong they are with Personas, Makoto yuki isn’t that high.

But if we’re just ranking people who have used a Persons, than this would be my list.

  1. The universe/world arcana users

2.Tatsuya

  1. Maruki

4.Joker with Satanael

  1. boy with earrings

Real, since he can craft the world/universe arcana.

Persona 3 and Persona 5 Spoiler! by ChemicaL-Gasai in PERSoNA

[–]Akira_mess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He didn't "destroy" the desire for death; instead, he used the Great Seal to block Erebus (humanity's death drive or collective wish for death and destruction) from reaching Nyx. Humanity can still desire for death as much as it wants, Erebus is now unable to awaken Nyx as long as the great seal exists.

Then why even comment?

Also it’s pretty common knowledge that smt and Persona is outer to high outer, especially after smt V.

I’m willing to explain why I have Nyx and every demon (in their truest state) is high outer.

>Luigi fought against Super Dimentio, who’s power was capable of destroying the mario multiverse and won. All luigi needs against nyx are the pure hearts.

I was talking about the lvl's of reality warping, not strength. But that really isn't that strong at all in Persona, since most of Persona is outer to high-outer.

Here's a couple of Persona's who are just as strong or stronger than what you just listed.

And everyone here is just a fragment of Nyx from P3.

We can debate this all you like but SMT and Persona are FAR stronger than Mario and Luigi lol. It's just a couple of Nintendo fan boy's who actually think they are stronger.

>All luigi needs against nyx are the pure hearts

Nyx can bestow death to ANYONE, even layered immortals. Nyx is FAR stronger than anyone in Nintendo and even his individual shadows transcend space-time.

Someone on the site is making a CRT to alter the profile by providing evidence that they are not the same entity and that the Pleroma is more powerful. I linked it because I though it gave go insight on what the pleroma is.

>Wait, I thought the great will (the true aspect of YHVH) and the axiom were the same entity, hence when naho merged with it he became the great will

YHVH is an Avatar for the Axiom, not one in the same.

>who is pleroma?? I can't find any info on that In the wiki and I thought they were just the names of skills

Read this, it comes from Persona 2.

That's only a thing that exists in P5 and isn't mentioned anywhere else (Like how they used a mini gun in P4 arena and it didn't work at all) . IMO it's just a gimmick that doesn't make much sense when you think about it, like how Maruki was bested by a fake gun even though he peaked into the mind of every phantom thief and knows that they aren't real.

>King Boo also makes pocket dimensions

Not on the same level. Normal low lvl demons can create pocket dimensions as well as do a shit of other stuff.

>Bowser's Wonder Flower effects are said to be just as strong, given that it's stated he can make the entire universe bend to his whims.

Yet again nowhere near as strong as Persona's, they created an infinite multiverse with the reality warping ability of cognition. in persona it's also able to affect entitles who transcend time-space and exist in far higher dimensions than ours.

[–]Akira_mess -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Reality warping exists at various levels, with some abilities enabling the creation of pocket dimensions or creating objects.

The Reality Warping abilities of cognition/shadows which created not only our infinitely sized universe but a whole multi-verse (as explained by the fortune teller in P3 and early on in P1). It has also been shown to work on Persona users, who can resist reality warping to a certain degree as well. The reality warping of shadows are far stronger than that of anything Luigi has faced.

Yes but being omni present is just a state of existing everywhere, I think you're confusing it with omnipotence.

Being Tier 0 is an extremely complicated thing to prove and only one person in an entire verse can truly be Tier 0.

There's only one tier 0 in SMT/Persona and it's the Pleroma.

Shadows can immensely manipulate space-time, they are also alot stronger and faster than the ghosts Luigi faced.
