You're forgetting that Gums really had the opportunity to swallow and severely harm him at all.
He hit gums with enough force to **** him up this bad and explode the top of his head
most of the blood in this page is literally coming from gums himself, who clearly was not doing very severe damage to ugly when chewing him
even the blood coming from his mouth lines up with him barfing blood moments before
Even it that's true (it's not), my example of Bang while just using Abandonment (not AB) being able to kick Fuhrer's ass still holds up.
Darkshine > Bang normally, so VFU > base/abandonment Bang.
actually base bang is scaling to the same AP as darkshine, just not really his durability
6-C AB bang > High 7-A+ Base PD Garou ~ Bomb = Base Bang
And
Base Bang= Rover AP > High 7-A Half monster garou < High 7-A+ Darkshine
Cool, but Fubuki at her peak >>>>> Do-S/Fubuki.
Also, your scaling chain wouldn't even suggest that Darkshine > Peak Fubuki (which isn't even a point that I brought up).
Peak fubuki downscales from rover
Darkshine upscales from half monster garou who also downscales from rover
I mean Darkshine can almost one-shot half-monster, VFU can get one-shot by Bang, weaker Fuhrer can one-shot Sweet Mask, Sweet Mask can-one-shot Do-S.
Darkshine High 7-A+ for one shotting half monster garou
High 7-A+ VFU can get one shot by AB bang who is 6-C, which lines up with him being equal to 6-C garou
Amai mask scales from a high 7-A fubuki, and ugly is high 7-A+ for one shotting him
do-s got one shot but was also able to harm him so it's tricky but with the current scaling she'd just be at most high 7-A or 7-A+ depending on what we go with
I'm not seeing the contradiction here
That's not what I said, I just said that damaging him doesn't even necessarily make him weaker, especially since the acid had become part of his body to the point where its intensity grew as his inferiority did.
That's nice, but it was still melting him regardless and he was still regenerating from it, it's not something you can deny
there are clearly some parts left over that aren't acid, such as that eyeball. The fact that he doesn't have liquid intangibility shows this anyways.
If you are being constantly destroyed by an acid increasing in power over time and having to counteract it with regen, then I think it was most likely damaging him and lowering his durability.
