Also, have you all reached any conclusions here yet, and if so, what?
Can you just close the thread? Baki threads never lead anywhere because the user are either to stubborn or new users come in out of no where to voice their opinions. Nobody actually debunked by points. But because people are completely not paying attention to the points I actually made. Prime Doppo hasn’t been debunked and I want to address the rest of Baki scaling with my next few crt

I didn't debunked your points, i added new to explain why there was a retcon, is different.

You can't just be this immature and wanting to close a debate thread because people is debating when that's precisely the point.

I wouldn’t call it a retcon. But sure show your points lol.
 
I definitely don't agree on there being a retcon, the characters simply changed a bit as time passed.
Motobe passed from threatening to kill someone without an actual reason to risk his life to save people with no further context.

Baki was much more coward with 17 years than when he got 13.

And y'know, i'm gonna reread the first chapters by a third time just to put more points, i'm 100% sure of the retcon argument.
 
The context on motobe was explained repeatedly by himself. He admires the main cast and thinks they're valuable, and he thinks only a weapon master like himself can really take on musashi.
Also we have an edit function. Why do you keep making a new post like 3-4 times in a row? Just edit. Half this thread since page 2 is you making a dozen posts in a row for no reason.
 
There is no implied retcon, past events are referenced constantly and if there had been a retcon, Itagaki would've clarified, but he didn't. Some personalities have changed slightly either due to characters maturing or because Itagaki realized he couldn't keep Yujiro as an über evil bastard for the whole story.

If your whole argument hinges on that, I frankly can't even call it an argument. At least NotoriousSoda has tried to bring up more points in favor of the arguments he supports, and I'm seeing things making a little more sense with what he says.

^ literally what I was going to type💪 Thank you Dark-Carioca. But was also going to add scans as well

That's really a bad habit i got sorry xddd
past events are referenced constantly
That's not really how a retcon works, most stuff can be retconned but letting some stuff up, at least that's how people in general use the term, you just need to look at the Wikipedia page

"Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short,[2][3] is a literary device in which established diegetic facts in the plot of a fictional work (those established through the narrative itself) are adjusted, ignored, or contradicted by a subsequently published work which breaks continuity with the former.[4]" this doesn't mean everything was completely and absolutely erased, but previous stuff being modificated for narrative purporses.
if there had been a retcon, Itagaki would've clarified
There's a ton of things Itagaki didn't said and we use it due to being logical, this doesn't actually means anything, Itagaki is not constantly speaking to answer every little doubt we have.
Some personalities have changed slightly either due to characters maturing or because Itagaki realized he couldn't keep Yujiro as an über evil bastard for the whole story.
The first part is not actually a thing, a character being rewritten is not character maturing, why would Baki became more coward post 13yr/o to became more determined and aggresive immediately after?, and the "Itagaki realized" thing is literally what retcon means, rewritting stuff for narrative purporses.
If your whole argument hinges on that, I frankly can't even call it an argument.
It doesn't, when i was rereading the series i seen a ton of weird stuff that should apply for retcon, but i didn't wrote that in my note cuz i fault it was irrelevant, for that i said i will reread it, so i WILL have more arguments within a few hours.
 
When has Baki ever been a ******* coward. That’s not how I would describe teenage Baki at all. The MF saw what Pickle did to Retsu, Katsumi, and Jack and still wanted to throws hands. Again all your points are literally just characters development.

EXACTLY LMAO, Baki pre-13yro got affraid of Kosho's brother just cuz he fault that he was too strong for him! Baki didn't even wanna fought him because he was very intimidated, you are talking of the POST-RETCON Baki, which is extemely brave, but that's precisely cuz the Post-Retcon Baki HAS Character development.

Baki when he was 13 was really coward and insecure and you can see that in the first fight with Yasha, but then he surpass his fears and finally defeats Yasha.

Then, at the beggining of the manga, he became so insecure that he was affraid of fighting Kureha because he fault he was weaker.

But then, after the 4 years old flashback he again became aggresive, determinated and brave.

You know this, you also read the manga, don't pretend like if Baki attitude didn't got a 180 degree flip for no reason at all.

The Baki that has character development is the Post-Retcon one, Baki Pre-Retcon is actually inconsistent with his own story development.

Oh I thought you call teenage Baki a coward. No your still wrong. It’s literally character development, he goes from being nervous in fights to wanting to fight. Like your legit wrong

You really don't get my point: He already pass something far more exreme in the Yasha fight and also with Gaia, he being affraid of Kureha is just inconsistent when he already learnt in the past to be more brave.

I will repeat it.

Oh my god your wrong. You do realize the fight with Kureha happened before the Yashe Ape and especially Gaia? Like after the Gaia fight he went to go fight Yujiro. Then Yujiro killed his mom which made Baki have a new goal in his life is to avenge his mother.

Also just because there would be an inconsistent in Baki with its characters won’t be enough to make different tiers. We don’t do that here
 
NotoriouSoda seems to make sense to me above.

What revisions do you think that we should apply based on this thread?

No... i mean, in the Manga it happened before, but CRONOLOGICALLY it happened after, that's precisely what i'm talking about.

Anyways if Admins do believe you're right i actually don't care, retcon thing is not something i will die for meanwhile Sikorsky won't get upgraded to 7-C lol
 
What revisions do you think that we should apply based on this thread?
This is actually very important since as i said i'm rereading and taking note of relevant stuff like feats and there's a ton of feats that should be calced and likely gonna upgrade the verse, so the new scaling is very relevant.

Oh don’t worry I’ve already got that done for lol
 
Isekai Retsu is at least building level.
Wrong. Isekai Retsu is 7-A due to scaling to the real Retsu, who has the rating due to being best girl. The only other character who would scale to this is Shinogi, since he is also best girl.

for ***** sake this is a thread about prime doppo can we stay on track and not talk about unrelated things
 
Geez I missed a lot.

Just want to make one point. Yujiro does grow stronger obviously, but it’s unquantifiable how much stronger he grows over time. All we know is that he’s an unknown amount stronger between his fight with Doppo and the MT. An unquantifiable strength boost doesn’t disprove my points. Yujiro even from the 13yo Baki arc should be far stronger than everyone in the MT based on his feats and also just from a narrative perspective. When he arrived at the MT, Tokugawa was convinced he could kill everyone there and ruin the entire tournament before Yujiro even had a chance to show if he was any stronger than the Doppo fight. However if we assume MT Doppo never got weaker, characters like Filth and Amanai would be Yujiro level fighters that can solo armies and stop earthquakes.

Also I’ve said this before but Katsumi was never, ever stated to be above Prime Doppo, only MT Doppo. So this is a moot point.

My stance is clear on this. Whatever we decide as a team is what we’ll go with though.

prime doppo does not exist picke nor mushashi or sukune are promoted as threats to armies but they are stronger nonetheless. olive who is promoted as a threat to armies if it does not affect amanai or others escalate that yujiro
 
Also, have you all reached any conclusions here yet, and if so, what?
Keep this open, I'll make a comment later.


I don't mind the scaling but seriously the amount of stupid ******* arguments about "Yujiro getting stronger." is getting absolutely wanked into oblivion.
First of all, Stury doesn't have any type of enhanced senses nor information analysis to truly tell if Yujiro is getting stronger by every minute. Him being an associate to Yujiro means nothing, and even then let's not sit here and act like Yujiro is gonna get stronger by several tiers, he's had multiple fights where Yujiro hasn't had any amp in his fights such as Doppo, Kaku, etc. He doesn't magically get stronger to the point of eclipsing where he was before instantly.



You guys are seriously taking these random ass statements to heart and trying to extrapolate said statement in order to attempt to disqualify any existing anti feats.

Why do you keep commenting on baki related threads when you have clearly no clue on what you're talking about ? Strydium isn't the only one who comments on Yujiro getting stronger, Baki says it as well and he explicitly mentions that his growth is so significant that he can't be considerd the same man Doppo fought.
Secondly, why does Strydium need enchanced senses or perception in order to attest Yujiro gets stronger and why are you assuming he would be wrong despite there being no contradiction to his statement ? Baki doesn't contest it, nor does anyone else. Sure let's just dismiss a statement because we don't like it, right ?
 
Exactly right. We shouldn’t be treating Strydum of all people as if he’s an all knowing source of info.
Strydum literally knew Yujiro during his teenage years and is totally qualified to see Yujiro insane growth. Hell there are feats of training that we can literally use to prove these characters grow stronger.
Also agian Baki said the same thing Strydum said, is Baki not a creditable source now? Stop saying characters statement are not valid just because you want it to be.
 
The only preposterous thing here is using a statement about an unquantifiable increase in power to boost a vast majority of the verse to far higher levels of power than they are.
 
Again, Strydum might be able to accurately say Yujiro has gotten stronger since his teenage years (obviously) but anything after the 13yo Baki arc is not something he could possibly know with full certainty. It’s assumptions at worst and unquantifiable at best.
 
it's clear that Itagaki never planned to make such an exaggerated power scale and he originally was trying to be more realistic
cool, got a statement from Itagaki about this? No? I don't care. You're entirely arguing off of disbelief and your own personal views of the series. I won't even entertain this "argument".
We shouldn’t be treating Strydum of all people as if he’s an all knowing source of info.
He's probably the single person who knows Yujiro best, he's known him since he was a boy, they hang out regularly, why would he not be reliable? And again, Baki confirms it, so what's this even about? And btw, we wouldn't even need a statement when we have such ridiculously blatant examples of him getting stronger.

what do you mean "unquantifiable"? I literally quantified it in my comment, y'all gotta stop with this dumbass concept that if there isn't a number attached to an improvement then it can just be ignored, we see him be comparable to Motobe in base, Motobe gets negged by the Yokozuna, Yujiro casually overpowers the Yokozuna. That's it, this is undeniable proof that Yujiro got massively stronger, you don't need a number or anything like this, you have a direct scaling chain right here of Yujiro getting stronger to the point where he would be able to casually fold his past self. You ignoring this doesn't make it go away, you calling it "unquantifiable" doesn't mean anything, you either debunk this, or you don't have an argument to stand on, stop derailing.

Will reply to this later, trying to take a swing on me isn't gonna do you any good there buddy ol pal. If we're gonna turn this into a contest of insults then I can guarantee you, that's a route you aren't gonna be winning with me.

Classic Baki fan move kek. Everyone can cleary see your ulterior motives. Needless amounts of condescension and aggression with no real argument.
 
Can everybody stop being rude and/or abrasive here please?
