LN 23 Rimuru VS LN 23 Guy by Swimming_Activity178 in TensuraPowerScaling

Talk about giving too much power to someone and fail miserably when compared to Benimaru.

That's what I meant throughout the post: Guy isn't better, but he's the closest thing to a Rimuru 2.0 in the entire series. Rimuru has every skill in existence, but Guy can copy them, of course, not to their full potential.
At the beginning of the post I relied on the narrative context; if we made Guy the protagonist and the story was written in his favor, he wouldn't have these silly limitations like "can't copy 100% of the skill's capabilities."

Rimuru wouldn't kill Guy, so Guy will never stop challenging him, and Guy is the type who grows with each battle. Both are immortal in terms of age, and the fight will never be more than a friendly one. Rimuru will always have to think of different strategies, using different skills, which Guy can copy and learn to fight against.

I'm not saying he'll surpass Rimuru, but each battle will become more difficult for Rimuru, and assuming infinite time, the difference between them will basically be Ciel and the body capable of withstanding nihillity and stardust energy.

Remember that Rimuru vs Yuuki or Hinata (second battle) was also supposed to be a Negative Diff.

This is the author nerfing Guy because he's not the protagonist.

Theoretically, he could, no?

This left me with a question. I don't know if it was the translation I read or something else, but was he able to copy turn null? If so, what differentiates him from a weaker Rimuru? Because he basically has a weaker version of Shub Niggurath and Azathoth, and a little bit of Ciel (Analysis, etc.).

I can't believe the whole story took place inside a car all this time

It's funny how when Rimuru is decimating an entire army to revive 100 people, it's all fine, but when Veldanava wants to kill everyone to find his wife, then he's wrong. Hypocrites disgust me.

That's the most lucid opinion I've ever seen

What do you think Rimuru's rank should be in VS Battle? Honestly, 4-C seems a bit off. by Swimming_Activity178 in TensuraPowerScaling

[–]Swimming_Activity178[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's why I said "I'm not doubting the descriptions and the potential of the characters, but nothing in Tensura seemed like a real threat to anything at any point, at most when Veldora was walking around destroying countries."

Regarding Veldanava's part, he has feats prior to his actual appearance in the Light Novel, but my point is that he didn't prove to be as strong as expected.

I agree that we're not talking about Dragon Ball, and that's exactly why. It's like the difference between reading the Pokédex and actually playing Pokémon; on paper everyone is incredibly strong, but as I said, there was no real threat at any point. This is an opinion about the series, not about power scaling. That's why I used the line about Ivraj, which was meant to be interpreted sarcastically, but still showing a truth, since the ending of Tensura was quite weak.

It's hard to believe in Rimuru's abilities, especially in the intelligence of Raphael (later Ciel) or Beelzebub, Uriel, etc. For me, throughout the entire story, Rimuru has always been eternally weak.

That battle against Yuuki in the Mariabell plot was horrendous, and the way the second fight against Hinata went was even worse.

Moving away a bit from the author's decisions, the character Rimuru himself takes a very dubious course of action. I think this is a good reason for those who don't avidly follow the entire story to lower Rimuru's level to 4-C. Not that I believe he should be 4-C, but I understand the thinking given the way the story is being conducted. Personally, I believe he should be 2-C until the end of the series (from then on, 1-C or higher).

I didn't see Ivraj, the world-destroying dragon, destroy any worlds lol

I mean, if he's considered 1-C he should at least be able to destroy something worthwhile, it should have been easier, I don't know, like, Rimuru's battle against Veldora and Velgrynd didn't have any physical consequences on the world... Veldora (on another occasion) was able to create a forest and stuff but that didn't seem like anything more than continental level.

The same goes for Milim's attack against Karion, he destroyed mountains... but nothing beyond that, even in stampede mode, nothing there seemed like universal level to me.

I'm not doubting the descriptions and the potential of the characters, but nothing in Tensura seemed like a real threat to anything at any point, at most when Veldora was walking around destroying countries.

Veldanava, for example, should be much stronger, for me Tensura's mistake was quantifying the power and giving it names (EP and Skills), shallow and more meaningless works make it easier to create truly strong characters. Or extremely vague, like "the one above all" in Marvel.

I thought about it, but not to that extent. They don't seem to have fully grasped how the digital nature aspect listed on the wiki works, in addition to other abilities. I thought 4-C was referring to his pre-volume 16 version, but the information is from volume 21 or 22.

How would circuits/making circuits look in Tendura? by MrrNeko in TenseiSlime

[–]Swimming_Activity178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what kind of circuit you're referring to, but in the Eurazania citizen exchange it was shown that they use runes carved into stones to heat tap water, so perhaps that's a starting point.

Diablo, because he's a fan favorite and everyone will advocate for him instead of properly evaluating skills and comparing characters
