it would scale. because the means are irrelevant because sasuke's mind resistance is not based on the delivery method as described and accepted on this wiki when i made my genjutsu thread like 2 years ago.
No genjutsu doesn't require you to control the chakra flow of your opponent(its the other way around) given the fact that a massive amount of Genjutsu is described and stated to work via effecting the persons senses directly.
The fact that the mind manipulation happens through reality warping doesnt stop it from scaling either, and our resistances on the wiki are built with holistic definitions in mind , which is why when we divide the means within different levels we work from the conclusion. a strong example would be how we treat regeneration, when we divide the levels we are looking at the outcome not the method. being able to regenerate your arms is the same level of regeneration regardless of if they were chopped off, put into a blender, erased, or blown away. the alternative counter point is to divide resistances into extrinsic and intrinsic
that being that preventing the delivery method from succeeding in the first place, but this has nothing to do with resistance at all. if your skin is too hard for a poison needle to puncture you, your not resisting the poison your prevent the poison from taking effect. however if your Influenced by the effects of the poison what comes after is what defines resistance and at that point the delivery method is superfluous.
there's also this weird belief that Genjutsu is this very super specific thing, it isnt. genjutsu is a broad term that defines a variety of abilities.
Genjutsu can be physical barriers that obscure things that exist in the real world that are applied to surfaces, they can be Illusions that exist in real time with the real world and can be countered Physically, they can be created by
altering light around the environment in similar ways to how Illusions work in the real world or they can be
internal hellscapes like Tsukuyomi and in severe cases
can warp the fabric of reality itself. so pointing to Genjutsu as some sort of contextual thing is irrelevant.
Reality warping is a means not a state. if someone can survive fire that was reality warped onto them, they not resisting reality warping, they resisting the fire. in the same way when someone gets their memories changed via reality warping, its not that reality warping is their isolated kryptonite, its that they are susceptible to effects of that specific mind manipulation, and if they resist it they are resisting the effects not the means. which is why characters like Sarada and Sumire aren't suddenly getting reality warping resistances, or why we don't do this in general across the board unless theres strong evidence that the resistance is universal to the method.
So yes I do think it should scale but only to the version of sasuke that was effected. i should also clarify i am talking about resistances here not potency and there doesn't have to be inherent linearity between potency and resistance, given that sharingan users can put themselves into a genjutsu.
Now I've said what I needed, I leave the rest for the other staff and other members votes.
