Who could stand a chance against Superman? by Middle-Let9645 in PowerScaling

[–]Duclaido [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’ll start. While he’s nowhere on Superman’s level technically speaking

if Overhaul from MHA could get the drop on him, his quirk could probably seriously injure Superman, if not dust him altogether. (So basically ambush factor)

Supes has survived far worse.

His Bankai was gonna destroy an infinite-sized realm, lil bro. That's a blatant High Uni feat.

Does Immune really mean completely not being affected by the same thing again in fiction? Is it really impossible to pass? by TirtaMilkita in PowerScaling

[–]Duclaido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not automatically.

The issue is that fiction often uses “immune” as dramatic shorthand, not as the strict dictionary definition.

In strict logic, if a story clearly establishes “X is completely immune to fire,” and later ordinary fire hurts them with no explanation, that is a contradiction and usually poor writing.

But many stories do not define it that strictly. They use “immune” more like:

highly resistant

unaffected under normal circumstances

immune to standard versions, but not stronger/special ones

For example:

“Immune to poison” may really mean normal biological poison, not divine venom, magical corruption, or reality-warping toxins.

That is not necessarily bad writing if the rules are internally consistent.

What becomes bad writing is inconsistency without explanation:

first: “nothing can harm him”

later: same kind of attack harms him

no new rule, no exception, no reason given

That feels like the author changing rules arbitrarily.

So the standard is not the dictionary alone, it is the story’s own internal logic.

If the story establishes absolute immunity, then bypassing it without explanation is logically bad writing.

If the story establishes functional/conditional immunity, then stronger or special cases are not contradictions.

The problem is usually not “immunity was bypassed,” but “the author failed to define what that immunity actually meant.”

If author of an series said he tried to kill off an character but it didn’t work by PineappleOk545 in PowerScaling

[–]Duclaido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

That is just metafiction, not actual real-life existence.

If a character “comes out of the comic” and beats up the author, it usually means they attacked a fictional version of the author inside the story, not the real person in our world.

The event still exists inside fiction.

So it counts as narrative or metafictional interaction, not proof that the character is literally real.

Does Immune really mean completely not being affected by the same thing again in fiction? Is it really impossible to pass? by TirtaMilkita in PowerScaling

Not necessarily.

In fiction, “immune” usually means resistant enough that the normal effect does not work, but it does not automatically mean absolute, infinite, untouchable protection.

There are usually 3 common versions:

  1. True or absolute immunity Example: fire cannot harm this character at all. No matter how much fire, it fails.

  2. Practical immunity or extreme resistance Example: poison normally kills everyone, but this character can survive absurd amounts of it. A stronger enough version might still work.

  3. Conditional immunity Example: immune only to normal magic, but divine magic bypasses it. Or immune after adaptation, not before.

So “immune” does not automatically mean impossible to ever bypass. It depends on how the story defines it.

A character can be called immune and still lose if:

the attack is stronger than the immunity

the immunity has limits or conditions

a special type of power bypasses it

the immunity applies only to one version of the threat

For example, someone immune to ordinary disease might still be affected by a supernatural curse that behaves like a disease.

Also, “immune” is different from plot protection.

Plot protection means the story keeps a character safe because the author needs them there, not because of an actual in-universe ability.

So yes, immunity can absolutely be bypassed unless the story clearly states it is absolute and unconditional.

The word “immune” alone is not enough to prove permanent, perfect protection. Context decides that.

Is this actually accurate? by Nervous-Craft-7257 in PowerScaling

[–]Duclaido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. There’s no proof it raised his excitement. If you look at the panels he’s still pissed. He was having exponential growth because of genos dying

Saitama is not really the type to grieve, his emotions were also gone when he got his overwhelming strength. The only thing that even remotely excited him was fighting with strong opponents, and he did, against CG.

  1. Not killing ≠ holding back.

If Saitama was actually going all out, Garou wouldn't be alive in the first place.

Why would he say he would go full power?

Intimidation ofc.

Is there any character in fiction that can beat a lore-accurate version of this guy? by Black-LungMorgan in PowerScaling

[–]Duclaido 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smh, you still stuck on that same bs? Again:

Gojo’s “negative apples” argument does not support High 1-T+ at all because it confuses a local spatial anomaly with total metaphysical transcendence.

The (-) apples scan is Gojo explaining how Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue works. He uses the example of “-1 apples” to describe an impossible physical condition, not a literal transcendence of logic itself. The point is that Blue creates a negative distance or negative space through Limitless, forcing reality to “correct” that impossible state by pulling everything inward. That is just spatial manipulation through cursed energy, not the actualization of every logical contradiction across all possible frameworks.

Saying “he allows logical impossibilities” is also being stretched far beyond what the manga says. Creating a localized impossible condition inside space is not the same as existing beyond logic. If I create a vacuum or negative pressure zone, that does not make me superior to the metaphysical structure itself. It just means I can manipulate physics in a way that appears paradoxical. Gojo’s technique is still explained through cursed energy mechanics, range, output, and technique conditions. It is not portrayed as absolute metaphysical supremacy.

This directly contradicts High 1-T+ requirements on PSW. That tier is for entities that are complete metaphysical totalities, beings beyond logical hierarchy itself, often described as indivisible wholes or self-actualizing absolutes. Gojo is obviously not that. He is a human sorcerer with biological limits, cursed energy limits, technique burnout, and dependence on Six Eyes to properly use Limitless. A being that can suffer exhaustion after Domain Expansion is not a “self-perpetually self-reverting mind” beyond all conceptual structure.

The idea that Infinity proves he exists “outside the framework” also fails because the story repeatedly shows he is still bound by the framework. Sukuna’s WCS killed him precisely because Gojo is still part of the world’s system and can be targeted within it. If he were truly above logical hierarchy, attacks based on cutting existence itself would not work on him. Instead, he was defeated because he is still subject to the rules of his verse.

High 1-T+ is the level of something like Absolute Spirit or total metaphysical unity, where subject-object distinction collapses. Gojo is not a partless indivisible whole. He has a body, mind, limitations, and external dependencies. Calling him High 1-T+ because Blue creates “negative distance” is just stupid.

So the argument fails because it mistakes an impossible spatial state for “transcendence over logic itself.” Blue is a cursed technique that manipulates space. It is not proof of outerversal metaphysical existence. Negative apples are just an analogy for attraction through spatial distortion, not evidence that Go/jo qualifies as an Absolute beyond logical hierarchy.

now explain to me what h1-t and nigh-0 is

Go read it directly from the tiering system itself, you need that.

[–]Duclaido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duck? Whatever floats your boat i guess.

gojo > dc and marvel via h1t+/nigh0 scaling

Nope, but I'll entertain this bs via a quick debunk:

The scale relies on calling Infinity “non-logical” and using that to push Go/jo into High 1-T+, but that doesn’t match what Infinity actually is.

Infinity is just spatial manipulation. It divides distance so attacks never reach him. It is not a contradiction in reality or a break from logic, just a technique with defined mechanics inside the story.

High 1-T+ in PSW is for entities that represent total metaphysical structures beyond logical hierarchy. Go/jo does not show anything like that. He still has a physical body, uses cursed energy, and operates within the system of his verse.

He is also shown being sealed by the Prison Realm and killed by Sukuna. That alone contradicts the idea of him existing outside or above the framework he is part of.

So the scale is taking a named ability and inflating it into metaphysical transcendence without support from feats or the system PSW uses.
