ORDEAL is a Webcomic written and illustrated by Brent E. Bristol. The protagonist Che is just a human in a world full of superpowered "Kimyos", but he's determined to become the greatest fighter to ever live. When his beloved mentor is murdered, Che swears vengeance and embarks on a mission to unmask the killer. But soon Che learns that the world of Kimyos is much larger than he ever imagined, and that he himself might be one -- the most powerful Kimyo on Earth, with the power of the sun itself. Will Che be able to harness his new strength, or will he burn up in the heat of this ordeal ?(Fandom)

It's connected to their chi
Yeah, but what is that exactly ?

Im currently gathering what I can about Kimyo(types and modes) and their power seem related to their soul and lifeforce.

Chapter 24: Thatanos talked about absorbing energy(soul) to empower or sustain himself and called his brothers "lifeforces" while the nature of his power is different(death).
 
The official description used in the webtoon is "an energy force emitted by the kimyo race, used to manifest abilities"
Said energy force comes from the soul

Im still at chapter 30

Is that how some weapons gain sentience ?
Weapons with sentience are Talents, living talents iirc
I'm caught up on Ordeal but a lot of details elude my memory due to the writing quality and probably me not being invested enough, but I've been on it weekly since season 2
 
Any idea where kevin pulling two neutron stars away from each other would scale?
 
When was the last time the profiles were updated? They seem outdated, and the Che vs Jose fight seemed to push the top and god tiers far above the 6-B range with Che getting insane lifting strength too
 
The wiki has Ordeal pages???
What part of the Jose fight is 6-B, wasn't it mostly high tier 8 low tier 7 feats then Che's tier 5 f*** off blast from nowhere

I was thinking more Tier 4 based on Jose/the author emphasizing and repeatedly stating the weight and power of dying stars, Jose saying he has the power to lay waste to the cosmos, and, Jose saying he can create a cosmic dimension in the wake of the destruction he brings, and Ilios saying Jose has enough chi to fill an entire void

With Kevin being able to push apart Neutron stars etc. I think the strongest characters are supposed to be hitting that stellar tier

Which is consistent with someone as ‘weak’ as Ryu who’s just a Titan general and not a god tier or Gakki being able to create a small planet level black hole

Given how the stars portrayed in the fight seem more like sticky bombs than actual stars, I'd be more inclined to say the Kevin feat is more representative, albeit one Che doesn't scale to yet

The black hole also didn't really function like a real one, seeing as it created shockwaves and cut through buildings

Jose's statements don't have any amount of scale in display to really back them up, sure we can try and use the mass statement, this wouldn't give AP just LS, you could also use KE for Che's sun attack since it has a stated speed of 100m/s or something? Subsonic I think the ke was city block or there about

Kevin at said point is pretty much an outlier, his feats are definitely in the Tier 4 range and I think Class Y LS? I don't remember
Thing that bugs me is speed, while enraged and wanting to meet Leo ASAP he was only moving at the SoL but to have performed the feat he did earlier in the timeframe he did wouldn't he have had to be much faster than that unless I'm not remembering the details well

The properties of it don't qualify it as a legitimate blackhole iirc, it's wasn't even a mass creation thing was it

I find it really hard to remember Ordeal stuff for some reason 💀

Shouldn’t Che be stronger than Kevin by a decent amount though? They said Kevin only reached Rank 1 because Leo died, and Che at this point far surpassed Leo. It’s implied Levin hasn’t gotten stronger as he’s been on the moon in a meditative state for 20 years after failing to get his talent’s equivalent of the ‘War State’ and destroying his own body. You’d think being made of pure light and chi would be an amp but the series treats it as a failure of containing your power.

In terms of raw stats (not skill), Che from the Greenland Arc after his 1 month training Arc should be in the same general tier as Leo, especially after entering war state and having his flames stated to be hotter than Leo’s by his son.

And then Che post training arc should be ridiculously above Leo and Kevin with the anointed war state

Though I just read through the series, idk anything about Q&A’s, author statements or anything

The black hole also didn't really function like a real one, seeing as it created shockwaves and cut through buildings

The wiki has it accepted on the Ordeal page as a small planet +

You can’t really show Star busting DC on a series that takes place on Earth or the story is done. Which is probably why the author had Jose and Ilios make statements on his power both aloud and in their own minds. And it’s consistent enough with a far weaker character who isn’t scratching god tier having a Small Planet+ feat (accepted on the wiki), and Kevin who should be weaker than Che having the Neutron Stars feat

I explained why I think Che is stronger than Kevin above, and adding to that, isn’t Vaal considered stronger than Kevin in the series?

Ryu’s feat is accepted on the wiki as low 5-B

Do these pages give a comprehensive explanation on talents?
