Within Re:Zero, there exists a character by the name of Regulus Corneas, within the current wiki page linked previously, he has multiple hax, but, surprisingly— not the hax that he's known for, acausality.
But, before we get into that, what is acausality? Well, VSBW defines it as follows:
But, this is vague, so they subsequently have different types. The types I will argue for Regulus Corneas to receive are types 1 and 4, along with possibly 2 and 5. So, all four must be defined.
Acausality Type 4
Acausality Type 2
Acausality Type 3
Acausality Type 5
So, let's begin.
Regulus's Abilities and Arguments
First and foremost, Regulus Corneas's ability works by stopping time within his own body. This frees him from all physical limitations, concepts, and even laws of the world. This also has the effect of stopping all means of change within himself.
Given the evidence, it seems very clear and that he either (1) operates on a seperate system of cause and effect, or (2) operates without cause and effect while lion heart is active. Given that, an given further context from the series, it seems that (1) is more probable, and hence, type 4 is as well. The reason we say type 4 is more probable is due to the limitations of his ability. Being that lionheart needs to be active for this to work; thus, instead of being devoid of causality as a whole, it seems far more likely that he simply operates on a different level of causality, hence qualifying for type 4. This is consistent with the fact that he was utterly immune to physical attacks, magical attacks, among others.
Next, for type 1 and 2, the arguments are quite simple. If he exists in a stage devoid of time; in his own flow or cause and effect, how would he be affected by timeline shifts, and how would he exist on seperate temporal points.
Finally, for type 5, self-admittedly this is very unlikely, but it feels like it's worth mentioning; with his ability, as seen in the original explanation, with lionheart active he goes through no change whatsoever. So, you could very well make a case that he's devoid of it, but given the “on-off” nature of lionheart, type 4 seems more likely.
Thus, I propose that Regulus Corneas should have the following hax added to his profile:
Acausality Types 1, 2, and 4; and possibly 5.
Disagree: Zabazab, MrTayman616
Neutral:
Agree with Type 4 but Not Type 5: UrongSygn1, Lloydblitzed, Hercules1125, TheReal7Cris, Nonynho, SatellaTheWoE
But, before we get into that, what is acausality? Well, VSBW defines it as follows:
“Acausality is the ability to act unrestrained by conventional cause and effect, on a scale that varies depending on the character. For some characters, this means not being affected by changes to the past; for others, this means defying all logic and acting with disregard for traditional causality.”
But, this is vague, so they subsequently have different types. The types I will argue for Regulus Corneas to receive are types 1 and 4, along with possibly 2 and 5. So, all four must be defined.
Now that we understand four of the five types, specifically the four relevant types, arguments for Regulus Corneas possessing each one will be made in order of likelyhood. That means we'll go from the most supported to the least. Which is the following order:“Type 1: Time Paradox Immunity: Characters with this type of Acausality are rendered immune to changes in the past and standard temporal paradoxes, but remain just as vulnerable in the present and can be affected by normal Causality Manipulation and similar abilities.”
“Type 2: Temporal Singularity: Characters with this type of Acausality do not exist in either the past or the future, only the present. This means they cannot be affected by changes to the past, while also making them resistant to Precognition that works by viewing the future, as they do not exist within it, and Fate Manipulation, for the same reason. In essence, they are able to choose their own fates, but they remain just as vulnerable at the point in time in which they do exist.”
“Type 4: Irregular Causality: Characters with this type of Acausality operate on a different and irregular system of cause and effect than regular causality. This has the potential to grant them resistances to abilities such as Causality Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, and Precognition, among others, depending on its shown capabilities which should be specified on the given page.”
“Type 5: Causality Transcendence: Characters with this type of Acausality are completely independent of cause and effect, existing outside causality. Characters of this nature require evidence of being unable to be changed by any effect that relies on a system of causality, meaning that interacting with them normally is impossible... ...Note: Being completely independent of space, time, laws, or similar forces does not make you completely independent of causality without the relationship between these forces and causality being clarified, with it only being considered as evidence for an irregular relationship with causality otherwise.”
Acausality Type 4
Acausality Type 2
Acausality Type 3
Acausality Type 5
