We begin first with the absence of essential elements that confirm the actual universality of the bubbles ← The lack of galaxies or celestial bodies within these bubbles negates their necessity as universes ← One of the fundamental criteria used by VSBW to determine whether a certain dimension qualifies as a universe is its containment of a large number of galaxies or cosmic structures of an appropriate size, as stated here ↓↓
Having multiple galaxies within it should qualify as a Multi-Galaxy sized pocket reality, but not enough to be a universe without more context or evidence.
The bubbles that appeared did not show any kind of celestial bodies or galaxies but were merely undefined energy spaces and probabilistic combat scenarios. As we reiterate, considering them as actual universes completely contradicts the cosmic size criterion on the page. Even if we assume that some bubbles displayed lights that might resemble stars, that is insufficient because the mere presence of a star or a small number of stars is not enough to prove the universality of the dimension. Instead, it requires proving the existence of a vast number of galaxies, which is not present here ←
Furthermore, there is no evidence that these bubbles are separate dimensions with independent space-time barriers. VSBW clearly states that universes must be separated from each other by space-time barriers, ensuring each universe's independence in terms of spatial and temporal structure.
If they are outright stated to be completely separated by the barriers of time and space....
There is no evidence in the scene that these bubbles are separated by independent space-time barriers. On the contrary, they seem to be mere reflections or energy interferences occurring within the combat environment, which definitively negates their spatial-temporal independence. Even if they were called different worlds, that does not necessarily mean they are independent universes, as terms like "worlds" or "dimensions" are not always synonymous with the actual concept of a universe, as VSBW has confirmed here ←
Being 'Different Worlds, Realms, or Dimensions' requires more elaborate context...
The lack of proof regarding the cosmic size or infinity of the bubbles is also crucial since VSBW sets a clear standard that any dimension can only be considered a universe if it is of cosmic scale or explicitly stated to be infinite in size.
If the size of the realms described has having infinite sizes or other synonyms, that should strongly indicate them being universes.
There is no statement in the texts or scenes confirming that these bubbles are of cosmic size or infinite in scale, which negates their classification as universes according to this criterion. In fact, the nature of the bubbles themselves suggests that they are relatively small compared to the known cosmic space, as they only appeared within the combat area and were never indicated to expand infinitely or contain an independent cosmic structure.
Secondly, the bubbles are merely an extension of a specific combat state and not actual universes. As mentioned, their appearance in a combat context indicates that they are merely energy reflections rather than real worlds. Additionally, their primary function... The bubbles did not appear as separate universes with independent physical laws; rather, they emerged as a direct result of an energy phenomenon that arose during battle. There was no indication that they contained an independent space-time nature or distinct physical laws, making their consideration as actual universes unjustified.
Moreover, combat effects extend into these bubbles, meaning they are not independent universes. If the bubbles were true universes, each would be expected to have independent barriers preventing effects from transitioning between them easily. However, in the scene, we observe that the battle itself extends into these bubbles, indicating that they are not separate universes but rather environments directly influenced by the exchanged combat energy.
Additionally, there is no indication that these bubbles contain an independent timeline, as one of the key criteria VSBW relies on is that any real universe must contain its own timeline.
If they're flat out stated to be entire timelines, then they are indeed alternate universes.
Nowhere in the texts or the scene is it stated that each bubble contains an independent timeline, meaning they are not universes according to this criterion. VSBW is not naive—it explicitly sets a criterion that even if there are a large number of dimensions, that does not necessarily mean they are universes unless their independence and cosmic scale are proven.
And even if the realms are larger than planet-sized, the 'Your World' aspect often refers to specific sceneries rather than the entire Space-Time Continuum.
The bubbles in the scene were not stated to be independent universes but were merely energy manifestations linked to the ability being used, which negates their independence.
Furthermore, regarding naming arguments, VSBW clarifies that naming alone is insufficient. Instead, actual evidence of size and spatial-temporal independence must be provided.
Being labeled as 'Entire Alternate Realities' generally indicates them being called universes, but the context and semantics should preferably be specified.
In this case, no proof was provided that these bubbles meet the universal criteria. Thus, merely calling them universes is not enough to classify them as real universes.
Simply having a star or multiple stars, as you claim, Firass, is not sufficient to establish that a bubble is a complete universe because the criterion used is the presence of massive galaxies, not just individual celestial objects.
Having a starry sky may qualify as being a Multi-Solar System sized pocket reality, but not enough to be a universe without more evidence.
Since the scene does not display any fully developed galactic formations within these bubbles, this confirms that they are not universes in the actual sense.
