It isn't "inconsistent", just different takes that varies verse by verse, some of them indeed make their characters bulletproof, some don't, we already mentioned some examples, DMC consistently shows characters being vulnerable to sharp weaponry, Resident Evil consistently shows people vulnerable to sharp weaponry and piercing damage, the list goes onGyroNutz said:Guns were created to kill other humans, not to kill other, much more powerful beings. Even then, high caliber rifles are needed to kill animals that don't even reach that high in 9-B, let alone 9-A+. Piercing damage being inconsistent in fiction doesn't mean that we should treat all 9-A+ characters as being easily susceptible to bullets, it means we ignore the inconsistencies in favour of what makes sense. Being 9-A+ doesn't make you completely bullet proof, but it provides a lot of protection against bullets.
For reference, 9-A+ is the equivalent of dozens of layers of kevlar.
6? I think so (Schwxnz, Zenkaibattery1, KLOL506, SpookyShadow, Jamesthetaker, GyroNutz)Zenkaibattery1 said:Can I just have a count of people who think this is a stomp or massively in Edward's favour?
Just reply to this
No author that knows fully how powerful their character is would have them get pierced by bullets tens of thousands of times weaker than them. Stuff like bullets, large falls, etc are consistently inconsistent throughout fiction, and if we want to rate characters based off of real life weaponry, we can't suddenly accept hundreds of different author interpretations of how powerful their character is in relation to bullets.Dante Demon Killah said:It isn't "inconsistent", just different takes that varies verse by verse, some of them indeed make their characters bulletproof, some don't, we already mentioned some examples, DMC consistently shows characters being vulnerable to sharp weaponry, Resident Evil consistently shows people vulnerable to sharp weaponry and piercing damage, the list goes on
