Well I see where you're coming from, but I don't see a reason why zeno would target himself with his own attack, it's like saying that a character who creates a big shockwave with ki is also attacking themselves because the attack is hitting everything around them. But I'm staying neutral, so you should try to get an admin to see this comment.
well that kinda is what happens with ki but a lot of Ki attacks are like some kind of weird kinetic energy or explosion thing? It's like they would be being "hit" but not really absorbing the impact of the attack. But we also know that Ki itself increases durability, so that likely has something to do with it
we also see it happening with Vegeta blowing himself up vs buu, but the difference is that Vegeta himself is constantly in the radius of the attack so it kinda screws himself too
but regardless, EE ball thingy is different from Ki, and the EE attack is most certainly touching Zeno
you could also say that Zeno's visual thing is just some kind of aura, but that's unlikely because the white balls are visibly expanding from that, which is showing that they are the same thing, and thus, he was still touching the exact same thing that erases shit on contact
but that doesn't even need to be acknowledged anyways since we literally see him absolutely devoured by the EE, which shouldn't be a thing unless obviously EE resistance
This is just stupid now.
The bright light that emanates from Zeno's hand when he is not what erases his targets. The light expanded while Zeno erased Zamasu, but we clearly see that the light did not expand to the size of the universe. Zeno has the ability to selectively erase targets without having to be near him.
He erased Frost in the stands from his pillar by pointing at him.
He erased several universes from within the World of Void by simply raising his hand.
Zeno's Erase technique does not engulf the target in some kind of energy that erases them from existence like the Hakai does. Zeno has the power to just delete things, like an image editing program—he can click on things and press the "delete" button to completely remove them.
Zeno erased the universe/Zamasu, not himself.
Zeno erased the universe/Zamasu, not himself.
I'm repeating this, because I need you to understand.
Zeno erased the universe/Zamasu, not himself.
He can select his targets. He selected the universe/Zamasu, not himself.
He can select his targets. He selected the universe/Zamasu, not himself.
I'm repeating this, because I need you to understand.
He can select his targets. He selected the universe/Zamasu, not himself.
It's not stupid and let me explain why
yes, he can select his targets but the fact that he didn't during the zamasu scene is already proven, and the explanation for "why would he do that to himself" is because he didn't have to avoid erasing himself
can does not = did
we already know that he did not, so this point is simply invalid
and it did expand to the size of the universe, it obviously just happened semi offscreen but we know it kept expanding because
1. zamasu literally reacts to it expanding when it starts destroying him
2. we literally see it happen when the time machine teleports away
also, during the scenes of erasing individual people, yeah he does select them individually without the expanding but
the brief moments showing the actual universes erased proves my point as we also see an expanding white light in those scenes doing the exact same thing
when he erases universes it's always an expanding ball, and when he erases small individuals it's just instantaneous and selected
also stop repeating yourself I don't think it's helping your case
the facts are simple, zeno erased the entire universe
he was in the universe
he visibly is caught in the blast as well and we know it made contact with them
if something erases what it makes contact with and zeno makes contact with it and doesn't get erased, the most basic form of 1 2 logic tells us that zeno has ee resistance
once again, it makes sense from both a logical and narrative standpoint
and once again, nobody has presented any anti feats yet.
but I assume you'll be open minded enough to agree with this now that you've thankfully helped me lay out all the counterarguments left to beat
