I see no reason to assume that.
Please do explain why that is your view on it, because it is literally the case and I can't personally see where you could find a valid counter point to that without invoking something that is baseless.
But I'm open to changing my mind
Yes, really.
Because Jigens abilities allow him to make up for a lack of power far more than Codes marks.
That is an irrelevant point. As I accurately guessed what would happen, You're seeking to invalidate a statement of power by invoking "Skills & Abilities", when the manga doesn't state or imply that is the case, then turning around and discounting "Skills & Abilities" to affirm a statement of power simply on the basis you think one person's abilities are better than the others. No offense, but this is full of shit and disingenuous.
Code simply having teleportation can't be compared to the offensive capabilities of Jigens rods, shrinking, karma absorption, etc.
None of which impacts Jigen stats, same as Code. It's all utility based since you want to compare abilities.
- Karma Absorption ~ Delta had Absorption.
- Sukunahikona Evasive Utility ~ Code's Claw Marks Same Evasive Utility.
- Sukunahikona Offensive Usages ~ Code's Claw Marks have Offensive Usages.
- Jigen's Chakra Rods ~ Code has Ninja-Tool transformation enhancements.
The point being made here, which you fail to realize, is that Code has abilities (Claw Marks) that make him more dangerous and hard to kill, than Delta. The Claw Marks + Ninja Tool enhancements means he can enhance the lethality of his hits, increase his evasiveness and attack from almost any location or angle his Claw Marks are place, and they can be placed almost anywhere.
So no, you don't get to deny Jigen's statements and keep Code's. You're either factoring them in for both or you're not factoring them for either.
This isn't Ohirume, where the ability has both Utility and Actual AP Offensive Capabilities.
Point is that they were clearly relative to him.
"Literally" they weren't when you look at the factors stated, and I even if they were. It doesn't change a Damn thing in regards to Kv1 Jigen and Naruto being relative and Delta being weaker as Naruto was holding back.
Yeah he held back by not nuking her with a Kurama avatar and 2000 clones but that doesn't mean he physically held back his power and speed.
Except that's not how that works. Naruto makes a general statement of holding back and doesn't imply or state it's only in reference to "
Ninjutsu Usage and Kurama Avatar", etc.
When you say things like that, it's you inserting your baseless head canon. It's also a highly ignorant stance to take when you realize that Naruto engaged in Taijutsu with her, under the premise of taking her in for interrogation & not killing her, even before he knew how her absorption worked, meaning yes, he was pulling his punches.
Like it's crazy seeing a lot you fight this hard against the narrative.
He doesn't need to know about TE when Jigen is literally Isshiki himself in a human body.
Irrelevant assertion. Kawaki was trained by Jigen in the usage of Karma. He knew of Jigen's Kv1 form and mistook Naruto as potentially stronger than him. THAT, coupled with the fact he didn't even know True Essence implies he didn't know about Kv2 Prior to his statement on Jigen's strength.
What's more, Kawaki didn't even know anything about Naruto's capabilities prior to him thinking Naruto might be stronger. His statement was made purely based on what he was sensing from Naruto vs Jigen (Not Delta Mind You).
That would be true if the belts didn't suck ass compared to Jigens hax
It doesn't matter how you feel about the Claw Marks. The fact is they make Code a far tougher opponent than Delta.
I'll give you Kv1 Jigen, WK Code, & Delta being in the same ballpark in stats with abilities being the deciding factor, but you're not about to get that picky-choosy shit off with me without substantial evidence.
Also, yes, Naruto commenting on his strength does imply Jigen > Delta (To what extent is up for debate, obviously).
I hate VC debating
and not a 2x gap) before going into SPSM and stayed on top throughout the whole fight.
