So, because I am not agreeing with how the setting can suddenly jump from Multi-Continent level to Low Multiversal, suddenly the burden of proof must be on me to disprove your interpretation. Even though your post is showing that you'll refuse to budge from your interpretation, no matter what.
Since you're arguing the Soul King created the World of the Living in its entirety, let me ask this: what point would there be in the Soul King creating hundreds of billions of galaxies, the hundreds of billions of stars each galaxy contains, contained within an observable Universe 93 billion light-years in diameter...When Earth is the only place in that whole expanse that has Souls living upon it?
The manga shows that the Soul King's death led to earth-quakes in the Living World, and the physical material of Soul Society and Hueco Mundo starting to disintegrate. We know that Yhwach making the worlds one again would have resulted in the destruction of the spaces Soul Society and Hueco Mundo resided within. At a minimum, that's planetary to solar-system level.
As it happens, having the scope of the Soul King's creations be "universe-sized" changes nothing about what is shown in-story. However, it would be woefully inconsistent with the manga's internal power-scaling.
I.e. I feel the interpretation exists because you guys want to believe Ichigo, Yhwach, Aizen and the Soul King are guys that can contend with Universe-level opponents, regardless of how removed from the story that interpretation is.
You not accepting a large jump in power because you don't accept it is an argument from incredulity, which is a logical fallacy, and not a legitimate argument. I'm not "refusing" to budge from my interpretation out of stubbornness or my desire to see Ichigo be Tier 3/2 (I couldn't give two ***** on what his tier is). I am doing so because you haven't shown any proof that your interpretation is valid in any way whatsoever. Hell, you've barely even showcased what your interpretation is.
I used to be avidly against Tier 3/2 Bleach, but then I saw compelling arguments for it, and guess what? Now I agree with it. If the logic is sound, then the argument is solid. Your problem is that you aren't making an argument, you are just complaining that things are wanked because the characters are too strong. "In my opinion/interpretation. . . " is not an argument, nor is it a legitimate defense from having your statements criticized.
And what? What point does any creator god ever in any fiction have to make an entire universe when the only activity is on a singular planet? It doesn't ******* matter why the Soul King (Or any other creator god) did what they did, it's just that they did it. And the manga shows us other planets, countless stars, and galaxies, showing us that yes, he did do those things, that they exist. He also created realms that are parallel to the World of the Living in size as well.
The manga shows everything shaking with everyone saying, "We are all going to die, everything will be destroyed because X Y Z." - the context is what defines the feat, you can't just ignore what's being said.
And to try and insinuate that Yhwach wasn't going to affect the realm itself is pure negligence. It is explicitly stated that the three realms, and everything attached to them, like the Dangai and Gargantua, are all going to be destroyed and fused into a new world by Yhwach's power (Reversing what the Soul King did originally in an attempt to rid creation of the cycle of Life and Death - this was Yhwach's grand plan), it is explicitly stated that the Prime Soul King created nigh-everything in creation and that the Weakened Soul King maintains this creation, and that said creation will be destroyed upon his death without a suitable replacement.
Literally ******* how would any of this be inconsistent? Nothing but the God tiers scale to these feats, the same characters who were Planet level are now universal, the scaling remains unaffected, the only difference is the tiering of the feats that these characters scale too. You can't just say something is inconsistent, prove that it is. Give us examples.
Finally, no.
The problem is that you can't compute the idea of these characters being a certain tier, so you are complaining about it and making hollow statements like it "breaks the story's internal power-scaling" or it is "removed from how the narrative tells of the events", but you don't give any explanation as to why that is so.
You need to construct an actual argument if you want to contest the ratings on this wiki. So either do that or just leave if you can't handle it.
With that said, I will not respond to you again until you do so as this is a waste of my time otherwise.
