Can High tier beings like around planetary and above get sick?

[Gzartus]

if goku gets sick does it matter? does it make him weaker on his durability status? lets say there is this character that is like universal and has a lot of durability feats like tanking big bangs, etc. If he gets sick for a while just for idk...comedy or other purpose, what would happen? Can lowntier characters with disease manipulation kill him? is it even possible for high tier characters get sick by a flu or stuff like that (ignoring the plot of course). Please explain

Goku literally died to a heart disease lol

What does physical durability have to do with your Immune System? Just because I can tank a missile to the face doesn't mean I'm immune to say, Ebola.

The "limits of the flesh" so to say. It's different, of course, if you reach the stage of being a "4D existence", since we assume that no 3D Biological Manipulation would work anymore at that point anyway.

Likewise Inorganic Physiology and Non-Corporeal form protect you from diseases as well, usually. Having Resistance to Biological Manipulation obviously helps as well.

yeah but i think its quite silly for a multiversal being to get a flu

At such a level I doubt the flu would do much against someone able to manipulate 4D powers, but we're talking about beings that are higher in tier but not an entire dimensionality higher.

3-D Flu can't kill a 4-D being. So that's indeed invalid.

It depends on the character. Not all Superpowered Characters can be assumed to have Superpowered Cells and Immune Systems, as silly as it might be.

It also depends on the type of disease. I'm not a doctor but I'm pretty sure a common ability like Self-Sustenance 1 and 2 would be enough to resist most diseases on Earth, including nasty things like Tuberculosis, but not Ebola for example.

inb4 they catch a higher dimensional disease

I mean, it depends on the degree of potency of the disease or in this case Biological Manipulation in question. Obviously to a 4-D being or higher, the effects of 3D diseases are about as effective as a drawing of a HIV virus attacking you.

Planet to Universe level characters without resistances would still be affected of course.

The issue you run into is the conflation of durability with general resilience.

Germs or virus don't care how strong your body is because they aren't trying to break your skin or anything like that.

Just the same way how some really shitty minerals are great handling heat and some of the stronger ones are really weak sauce. These things don't care about durability much unless you are dimensionally above it in the first place.
