My first Majikoi revision was July 13th, A1-2 revision was on November 9th, which by that point I was already done with the whole series, so give or take 6 or so months of reading, though I took weeks off reading here and there. Only read like 2 or 3 hours a day, each series is suppose to take like 20-30 hours to read. So probably 1 series a week i would say.
Technically, Kaito can only deflect blows from a black bear with auto counter
Lunamaria was a top ranking adventurer before becoming a maid, and she had to be taught by Illness before becoming one, so you could honestly interpret that as maids>adventurers, though Luna isn't exactly a normal maid, seen as she is currently considered a raising star in the maid world, but again from memory you need a certain level of maid power to enter the Maid Olympia which Luna didn't have before, when she was just below Baron Rank, and only has now due training with Kuro and becoming Baron Rank.
I turn my brain off at the maid rot, but you have to be a pretty gifted person to be a maid due to all the requirements to be one, it just so happens everyone relevant is a peerage holder, thus already a genius, but we could beef up the intelligence ratings for maids, will I go through that effort? Probably not lol.
They really do have their own power system that can only be perceived and understood by being a maid. Since we saw things from both a maid and a non-maid perspective, it made my thoughts fluctuate between “is this for real (serious)?” or “is this chuunibyou something?” So it is impressive that these are actual abilities.
This makes the most sense to me, although it's nonsensical that the characters can nullify powernull
. We should have added that to Counts a while ago, but it got forgotten.
If you think about it, the 6 Kings have causality based regen, then all have the ability to nullify regen with causality disruption, but during their fights as far as we can tell still regen, so....
Counts normally have resistance to diseases, so that's baseline for them, but combine that with a Supreme Gods True Blessing, they can even resist Illness disease manipulation, which works on people who have the true blessing of high ranking Gods, so that's 1 layer of resistance.
It becomes a mess of: regen < powernull < null powernull
Low-ranking blessings block diseases, and high-ranking blessings block stronger ones, so would that be greater resistance?
I don't think you need to be too concerned about that because the author never answers fan questions when prompted on twitter. He only says stuff when he wants to without prompt and then answer questions to clarify what his original post meant.
The exact wording for her disease manip is that she pierces through the blessing, not bypass it with a new disease it doesn't register, implying she doesn't need to.
Yeah this explains a lot tbh. Cause they fight for a long time, + their fights ignore defenses and nullify causality and regen. They're dismantling/countering these effects
Right, forget what I said, about that portion then. But yea idk why this matters much only ones who have profiles that are blessed are Kaito and Lilia, what I said before pretty much stands, Lilia has 1 layer of resistance because she can resist Illness diseases. If you were trying to do some sort of layer scaling by saying high blessing>low blessing, doesn't work like that, you would need someone who can pierce the low rank blessing, not being able to pierce the high rank blessing to say it's more layered, which doesn't exist as far as I know. More powerful doesn't mean more layered.
We already added Epilogue explanation based on the author statement a while ago. Also only thing being added so far is stuff which already has evidence of existing in the story, for example we see Shiro ending a universe like turning off a tv, which matches the author statement, and the nullify power null will be more of the same, given the 6 kings example I gave before.
Statement is a little weird due to Kaori saying she can't stand up to Baron Rank, when she just became able to, but eh could just chalk it up to her speaking from her perspective before the new amp which she isn't used to.
Unless world creators automatically get 4 layers of that due to scaling from the layers below them if that's how the logic works?
