Don't bump before 24 hours, as we have written somewhere.
Well, this is dogmatic. You take too much meaning on something that's not worth it, her personality isn't the same, and that's it. She's different=/=she had to be 100% erased via EE for this to happen.
Well first off, I've always bumped every 8 or so hours and nobody's ever had an issue with it so :v
Secondly, I don't know why you're assuming that only some small parts of Yuuma changed when the text says she was
completely different. That's not the same as going through a mood change or whatever, and I would appreciate it if you stopped misrepresenting what's in the text.
No, only if you want it to be one of our superpowers rather than just take in what happened. She was destroyed, meaning that she was destroyed, no EE there. Flan's ability technically blows up things but that doesn't matter.
Destroyed to such an extent that nothing was visible, that's the important part. If Flan's ability really did just blow shit up, there would've been, y'know, blood, guts, or other viscera lying around (or at the very least a soul; can't recall many examples of explosion manip that destroy souls as well).
I have no idea from where do you get this assurance, trace it back; the text pretty much said "vaguely something, then something happened that makes part of that inconsequential", you point to the idea that that something is literal, that it has a very specific, uncommon meaning, and that the vagueness isn't vagueness but a reference to the thing that's yet to be said that will make part of that something inconsequential. There is no "No less of an assumption than your own interpretation" here, someone blowing up being said to be erased with nothing seen can easily mean just that with no EE, and the vagueness about it can simply be vagueness about it, not a direct reference to how the thing said isn't actually true, if it was saying "she maybe died, then she wasn't dead" then that's a 50 50 depending on perspective ("she did die, then she wasn't dead" and "she didn't die, because she wasn't dead"), but it also says how she died, which is being apparently erased, the specifics on that don't need to be false in a reference to how she wasn't dead as that hinders the exposition of how she died. It's too much of a stretch.
You have yet to explain why Yuuma having some weird disembodied laughter post-death somehow disproves EE, so either explain that or stop bringing it up. And I'm not saying that the text itself is literal, just that what it's describing is at odds with any other description we can give it. Explosion manip, deconstruction, or just good ol' fashioned organ crushing would all leave a trace of the victim; but that evidently didn't happen. You're assuming it's 'vague' based on the words "it looked as though", which merely means the characters themselves didn't see any trace of Yuuma's body or soul;
that is the context we have to go off of here, and as it stands now EE is the most reasonable explanation we have.
Definitely not similar to outliers, sometimes you may not want to use hyperboles many times to not get information wrong but other times it doesn't really matter, like people saying in real life that space is infinite while knowing they have no proof of it. Intelligence isn't necessarily something that avoids using hyberboles, that would be like saying that lack of intelligence is what makes people use them. "Approaches infinity" again is no lie, the infinitely long time it would take for a long ride is one odd translation from what I can see from myself ("may not cross even after a long time.", the Touhou wiki has it as " or an practically interminable amount of time", no idea from where "infinitely long time" would come) and also goes against what she says, unless the boat amps its speed to infinite when that happens & to a degree where it would still take some very long time to cross that infinite distance, it's absurdly more likely that the speed of the boat is the same and the travel is simply annoyingly longer but finite.
Interminable literally just means endless so, translation differences aside, the point about it being infinite still stands (especially with 3 other statements backing that fact up).
I'm not saying that intelligence makes one immune to hyperbole; I'm saying that, because Ran is positioning herself as somebody doing these calculations for the sake of mathematical accuracy, she would have no reason to lie or exaggerate about her results. And the intelligence comes into play since it helps us prove that her results weren't just wrong either.
Also I never said Komachi's boat amps its speed; genuinely no clue where you're getting that from. I feel like you're bringing up things that have no real bearing on the points brought up?
Didn't misinterpret it. "Approaching infinity" is pretty meaningless as it just means "the values are going up". Exponentially, if you will.
Let me break this down a bit.
The river has an infinite width by default. This default distance is represented by '0 money paid'. The distance decreases based on how much money is payed. So, say somebody pays the equivalent of $100. Every cent or fraction thereof subtracted from that brings one ever closer to an infinite distance, until, at 0 dollars and 0 cents, the width becomes infinite. Every step along that subtraction process can be described as approaching infinity (after all, if you subtract, say, $50, you are approaching $0 and thus approaching infinite width).
The river does not merely 'approach infinity'
in its default, unaltered state. This is only the case based on the reactive nature of the river, and when we're talking about what the river is like
unaltered, then discussions like this mean absolutely nothing.
If I destroy a cup with a universe inside I destroyed a cup, if I destroyed the universe inside the cup I destroyed a universe, that you can't tell a difference between both established sizes of the same thing in how it matters to destroy it seems exaggerated. She's not even targeting the whole place, just the part of it that's bothering her, what's bothering her being the water around. Just because she claims she would do that it doesn't mean she knows what she's talking about and thus that she's able to do what she claims.
Destroying a cup with a universe inside still requires destroying the universe, though... At that point, if you're assuming that Flan merely destroyed the physical vessel containing infinite space and NOT the space itself, the implication would be that the space still existed. But how? Where? Theoretically it'd just spill out, but that very clearly did not happen.
The Sanzu has an infinite supply of water so its not like Flan could
just destroy a small section of it; it'd flow right back to her location, endlessly. Her claims are also given weight via the actual showing of destroying infinite space (Yuuma's stomach).
Went over the "completely different individual", you very much can't pull a "her soul was destroyed because we didn't see her soul" when we explicitly didn't get to be told the full context (like in an animation), but just what is pretty much "maybe she was erased, and then she laughed from somewhere". The fact that she laughed could have been from her soul escaping, the text before not lying as her body was desroyed.
Okay, but the
text says nothing visibly remained. If Yuuma's soul was still there, the text could've just said that. It being text doesn't mean huge details like that would just be omitted; there's a vast number of ways it could've described Yuuma's soul being intact. Also, even if her soul
was 'escaping', Flandre would still be able to just see that? Like she isn't ******* blind, if she sees the soul of the guy she just killed floating away she's probably gonna notice (especially since it has audio supposedly attached to it, making discerning the location far easier). The fact that she didn't notice means either 1. Flandre is a dumbass or 2. Yuuma's soul really did get destroyed.
