You posted a giant blog and I did my best to address it in my points. It's not shotgunning. You can respond to it at any time you'd like, now or later.
Shotgun Argumentation: "The shotgun argumentation
fallacy occurs when one chooses so many arguments, firing many shots as it were, in order to disable your opponent from answering them all."
Well I can start over and just make a CRT that says: "Ichigo, Aizen, and Yhwach are all Low 2-C to 2-C" but of course my doc has multiple points, so people can see the full thought process. That doesn't change the fact that you can choose to respond to the points one at a time or shotgun me.
This is not evidence that they are separate space-times only that they're realms. Pocket Dimensions exists and they have time which is something people seem to not understand in several threads. Shall we mention the ROSAT from Dragon Ball which is planet-sized but has hyperbolic time different from the rest of the entire universe?
I'm not quite sure what you are getting at here, could you please go into more detail?
And yet he differs from it considerably. He also takes inspiration from other anime and manga too but you're not going to use Saint Seiya to upgrade Bleach simply because Kubo was inspired by it I think.
Which isn't what I'm doing. What I am saying with the Buddhism point is this. "Being that Kubo draws heavy inspiration with his manga's cosmos from Buddhism, it is likely that Kubo believes his realms to be much larger than planets." <- This is merely support that the realms aren't planet sized.
This isn't addressing my point that they are universal. All souls are contained in the Garganta and can go to several realms that are inside the Garganta. The Garganta isn't the Universe so acting like the Cycle of Souls reaches across the entirety of space across the whole universe is a demonstrably false fallacy.
Is the Universe in Bleach not the Garganta and everything inside it? AFAIK your point is "universal can vary in meaning" which sure it can, but if we know the Souls can reach across the entirety of the Garganta as seen with Valley of Screams, then the Garganta is included in the "Universal flow".
This is outdated and I explained my problem with it in another post, sorry for not making it clear here.
You're posts are numerous and I have difficulty following them due to their sheer frequency, so if you could further elaborate that'd be great.
But you argued that Muken is infinite definitely in the SAndbox while also arguing that the realms itself, the Garganta, and the whole universe are infinite. This to me shows less a consistent cosmology and more that the statements of "infinite size" are either taken out of context or referring to different things (Such as a blatantly non-literal poem mentioning the moon and mars, or Ichigo's classmate swearing on the universe, or Ichigo metaphorically saying that his mom was "his universe" because he loved her).
Either way the evidence for Infinite Realms is extremely weak and circumstancial at best.
Yeah you're misunderstanding what you are reading. Because all I argue is that "at bare minimum the realms are universal in size, and potentially infinite" but I'm going to remove the stuff about Muken so it stops confusing you.
You do understand what "could be likened" means, right. IT means that they are similar to planets and are comparable. The word "likened to" literally means that something is like another thing, you wouldn't use it if they definitely weren't similar to it.
The fact that Memories of Nobody unambiguously and definitively portrays both as planets doesn't help your cae either. You also acknowledge that Soul Society is a planet to address the Yamamoto issue but then you argue that the stars of Soul Society are also part of it, when they're part of the Garganta.
You do understand what "if they could be likened" means right? The narrator is saying
IF not that they can be likened.
Still doesn't change the fact that the realms share the garganta so things like stars for the realms are part of the garganta.
Stars exist within the realms, the realms are closed off from the garganta, but they exist within the garganta.
