Aku's Type 4 Immortality

[Agnaa]

Aku currently has type 4 immortality listed and unexplained, but doesn't have reincarnation/resurrection listed as an ability. This feels to me like it could be a holdover from the old type 4 immortality, but I'm not knowledgeable enough on the verse to know for sure.

It should either be properly explained and resurrection/reincarnation added, or it should be removed.

I’m thinking removed. I don’t recall Aku ever dying in the first place until the very end of the series, when Jack finally makes it back to the past and beats the ever living crap out of him.

a holdover from the old type 4 immortality

It is.

Spoiler: Derailment

Everyone may ignore this in this thread but bring it up on their own if they feel like it, I just lack the time myself:

• Aku can smell blood to sense where others are as maybe shown in s1e2, better shown in s3e4, and in s4e8 he eventually sensed a presence nearby by means not stated.
• His tier is just wrong. He didn't create nor survive what's there, let alone can he recreate it with an attack. The fraction of that evil being fell into Earth, made that feat, and yet another fraction of that was given life; that's Aku. He's not that whole thing that fell into Earth, but a fraction of it. He doesn't always hit Jack, but he did so many times w/o one-shotting him, got amped via the work he gave to slaves over Jack's lands and needed armies to take over the world.

Honestly i don't see the issue with tackling AP here, but i guess we can just wait for another thread and remove his type 4 first.

 

[Agnaa]

idk enough about the series to talk about the other things. I wouldn't be upset if this thread turned to include it, but I dunno how to argue about it.

 

[SuperDino85]

Oh yeah about those.
Enhanced senses would probably make sense because Aku figured out Ashi (or whatever her name was) was related to him by sense of smell (somehow) and on a separate occasion was able to pinpoint Jack’s location while he was hiding (also via smell)

Tier-wise... I...can’t really say one way or the other tbh. I guess I can see him being lower due to not having feats on par with the damage done by the fragment crash-landing.

His profiles says he fell as a piece of his current self, but eficiente claims is the opposite, that aku is a piece of the evil that fell.

One scales, the other doesn't, also the jack scaling makes sense too.

 

[Antoniofer]

Yeah, I do not recall Aku resurrecting or even dying once (maybe being sealed, but not dying).

I just saw his profile again

• The image of Ikra isn't relevant enough to be shown next to his first form, he just used that to fool Jack on 1 episode. He did the same with the form of some hermit we're not showing there.
• Aku is a fraction of the Nameless Evil like the Classification says. He's not the (whole) meteor who killed the dinosaur like his AP says, and nor was that "only a small fragment of his current self", when he was given life that was all of him, the rest he could manipulate parts of it and I believe he used them to make fortresses(?), but he didn't add all of it to his body or something. And even if he had, that was the mess left from what fell from space, typer 2 Immor. helps a lot there and there would be no reason to say that Aku could recreate as much damage with any of his attacks.
• Speed wise he should absolutely scale to Jack, but I fear his speed feats may be taken out of context.

 

[Agnaa]

Well, given the consensus on type 4 immortality I'll remove it.

 

[Thelastmlg]

If there are no other AP feats he should just scale vastly above jack due to constantly overpowering him physically.

IIRC the only time jack traded punches eith him was in that human form and even then he didn't use "superhuman strenght" so that fight was weird.

Someone should get those speed feats, but he already scales to jack, his lightspees stuff is only travel.

@Ultima_Reality @Ryukama

What do you guys think of the downgrade?

 

[Eficiente]

Bump.

 

[Eficiente]

Bump.

 

[Antoniofer]

I think we should leave the potential downgrade for another thread; I think the main purpose of this thread is concluded.
