Can you show me proof willpower can't overcome the passive paralysis caused by reiatsu?
It effects the soul, you need Reiatsu to resist soul-based hax. You can't overcome soul manipulation via willpower unless stated that you can,
even Tatsuki could see Yammy, which people without Reiatsu can't do.
I mean you kinda do. Of course it could just be magic but there's no reason to assume it's magic if they're being affected by a paralysis inducing ability already.
One of the abilities you need is status effect inducement (which really is just "I don't know but you're stunned now") of anything the Paralysis is caused by Soul Manipulation, which even characters with it still get paralyzed in Bleach. In this case, Spongebob is screwed because he doesn't resist paralysis inducement.
Being cowardly ≠ having low willpower..
Especially given different people with different personalities. A coward might run away from something scary while someone braver might freeze in fear. Someone even braver could start crying out of fear. Someone else could pass out.
Take King from OPM for example. He's canonically a ***** who's almost at the point of crying and begging for his life in literally all his fight scenes. We always get inner monolog about him being scared shitless. Yet he could face an army of people actually trillions of times stronger and faster to stall them. All while pissing his pants and praying to be saved.
The point is that neither have willpower at all, and King himself also has broken SI and luck that makes him damn near invincible, so the two aren't comparable. Ganju is a coward and has no backbone at all, he was running for 90% of the time against Yumichika, who isn't even intimidating or particularly strong (at least compared to Kenpachi). Hanataro is no better, he's a f****** off-field healer for crying out loud. King isn't relavant here, moving
Is there any evidence of this being the case? Because I straight up don't remember a single them being scared.
The Fear.
So? I don't think I understand what you're trying to say here.
I don’t see how they're NLF given the stuff listed on Spongebobs profile. He's straight up said to be capable of turning his imagination into something real.
He's getting KS'd when the fight starts, it affects anyone within the range of his Reiatsu and it has universal range, Spongebro is getting KS'd and isn't gonna have a counter in time before Aizen gets to him, and once he does, it'll be too late cus then it'll be revealed that he did literally nothing.
His luck is stated to passively defeat opponents so I don't really see why not. And he can just unwind the strings of Kurohitsugi to erase it from existence.
It spawns immediately, je would not have the time.
+ Aizen isn't killing Spongebob through his low godly regen anyway.
Uh, yeah he is, Bleach attacks naturally neg Low-Godly because they attack the mind, body, and soul. You need Mid-Godly to survive getting destroyed by any bleach attack.
I mean technically that could be true but why else would someone look terrified in this context?
That's a possibility but we already accept reiatsu to cause fear so we know for a fact they are afraid.
Again being affected by fear and not being paralyzed is not evidence the paralysis is not the cause of the paralysis.
Uh, yes it is. There is no evidence that DIRECTLY claims that the paralysis is caused by fear, in fact,
we see in-verse the two are separate as well. As Nodt's Fear did not stop Byakuya from attacking him, only making him hesitate because of it, which is NOT paralysis. This is also the reason why As Nodt only gets paralysis inducement from his Fear with Vollstandig, because it
directly affected Rukia's nerves.
Imagine I send you a scan of a character getting hit by a fireball and I say "see they didn't get burned even tho they were affected by the fires temperature. This proves the fire isn't what causes the burns".
This is using a false equivalence. The two scenarios are NOTHING alike. Of anything, that would mean that they have a resistance to burns.
I mean, duh, that just supports fear causing paralysis.
Uh.... no? What? There is nothing that insinuiates that Aizen's SI can do that, and of anything, that would be a feat for his SI, not Reiatsu Crush.
If a teacher yells at a student they would probably be frozen because of her social influencing granted by her superior position.
No they wouldn't, trust me, I've been in school long enough to know this. Aizen in particular is an extraordinary case, he's a master manipulator and a sociopathic monster, anyone would feel uneasy about him.
That would further explain Grimmjow staying frozen as his boss is basically scolding him, but Ichigo running away when a strong enemy is approaching.
The scan literally shows why the two are different.
That's not really true? Fear causes paralysis. The paralyzed people are scared.
There is a clear connection between the paralysis inducing effect (fear) and the paralysis itself.
I know that, but this paralysis is not.
A direct statement isn't necessary because this is something extremely simple to understand just by looking at the manga.
Um, yes it does, because of the scans of Kenpachi's fear clearly not causing them to be paralyzed. The two are not linked.
Not a false equivalence at all. I would say this is also clear and obvious at this point.
Fire can cause burns.
Fear can cause paralysis.
People affected by fire getting burned would most likely mean it's a result of the fire.
People affected by fear being paralyzed would most likely be caused by fear.
It's undeniable that fear can cause paralysis. Both science and even the wiki itself note this. It's also undeniable reiatsu induces fear. Even worse in combination with SI which can also result in fear.
And given that there isn't any other known plausible causes behind the paralysis, the fear reasoning would be by far the most plausible one and the one we would use based on occams razor.
You are once again using an obvious argument though, the two don't compare at all. It's like saying my argument was false because since trees make apples, apples therefore come from trees. What you're using is basic science and completely dumbing down the actual argument. There is a difference between obvious logic that would fall under an Occam's Razor and something like this.
