Yet we still assign all his techniques the same tier from a single calc, like how we scale Naruto to FRS for example in SM, he doesn't have X with FRS, Y with Rasengan.
Nobody ever asks "Prove Rasengan scales to FRS?", why ask now? Because we are on different sides?
Well, in Sage Naruto's case, these Sage Rasengans happen to be the same tier through scaling. Let me explain.
These Sage Rasengans upscale from Naruto's physicals for being able to harm Pain; who can partially withstand his own Shinra Tensei. The same Shinra Tensei that can easily dissipate a FRS with ease. Now, if you have a problem with how this scaling is done, that's fine, we can argue against it on the other revision thread. But at least I'm attempting to give a valid reason for why each of his stats are the way they are, which I apply to his durability and SS as well.
I never said it scales to their physical characteristics, it might've sounded sarcastic but if you disagree with Deity Gates scaling to other Sage Art techniques because this time you feel like it doesn't scale then we will have to do an overhaul not just Sage Art but any technique, because this isn't exclusive to Sage Art.
I don't think people here are gonna love seeing X with Rasengan, Y with FRS, A with TBBRS on the profiles and so on.
Again, if a specific technique have shown overall better feats, portrayal, potency, or anything of the sort, then yes, they should be rated differently.
I'll give you an example. Let's take Sasuke vs B. Base B somewhat overwhelmed Sasuke, and then V2 B easily busted his chest open with a Lariat, so needless to say Sasuke is physically weaker than V2 B (If you somehow disagree, just treat this as a random example, and bear with me please. I'm just attempting to make a point). Later, Sasuke chopped off one of Gyuki's tentacles with a Chidori Spear. Now, I know this feat is kinda suspect, and probably wouldn't be accepted, but let's pretend it was for a second, alright? Do you think Sasuke would scale to Gyuki now, even though we've established that he's below V2 B? Or would he receive an extra rating for his Chidori? I think the answer is obvious.
And yes, I don't mind applying this to every appropriate case, regardless of what people want. Accuracy is the goal, first and foremost. If pleasing people was our goal here, then we would have 6-C Hidan and 4-B Kaguya already lol.
Because Shinsuusenju is a more serious technique for example, that strains his body, Buddha in SM fights equally with Perfect Susanoo and the Madara and Kurama scaling I already explained.
My claim is that the Gates are a technique that's separate from the rest of his arsenal, doesn't scale to his arsenal, and is just a hax that he drops on his opponent and lets it do the rest of the work by sealing their will to oppose him, so of course it would not be strenuous on his body like battling to the death against an equal opponent using a technique you're actively controlling.
You didn't explain anything, you have yet to give reasons as to why Deity Gates are above his other techniques. Kushina never damaged Kurama with her Sealing Jutsu, she restrained him, and let's not forget that Kushina as Uzumaki has massive chakra, that's why her chains are strong.
Minato used Reaper Seal, it works differently.
The Deity Gates didn't harm the Juubi either, did they? All it did was restrain him, partially via Sealing hax/Willpower Manip. Also, Kushina's chains are made of her chakra, directly controlled by her, and she has no anti-feats, so why don't we scale her to Kurama as well while we're at it?
No, Juubi isn't fodder, but Madara and Hashirama are above whatever it demonstrated.
I'd argue they're not. Their best demonstrated feats are in the 6-C to Low 6-B range, while the Juubi you're attempting to scale them to is 6-A+, I don't think conjecture alone is enough to bridge such a massive gap.
This is literally headcanon, Sage Art Ninjutsu are all based on the users chakra, they create those techniques.
You have yet to prove it's not connected to Hashirama. Just give a statement, that's it, no headcanon words.
As I said before, being in the same category of Jutsu does not automatically guarantee that techniques are equal without feats, statements, or proper scaling.
The manga made itself clear on powerscaling, you are ignoring it for the sake of profiles and VSB shenanigans.
It's not my fault 100% Kurama is an actual beast, alongside Madara. I don't konw if it's usable but 100% Kurama still fought Hamura's Statue in The Last which was powered by Toneri.
That statue has no feats, so who knows how powerful it was? But more importantly, that was the Kurama Avatar, not flesh and blood Kurama, which means he had Naruto's chakra mixed in as well, meaning it clearly wasn't the same Kurama as the one in the VOTE due to potential Six Paths Chakra amps.
Not my fault Hashirama said that Alive Madara with SM was only regaining his true strength,
This statement has nothing to do with the Juubi though. All it means is that SM Madara ~ Alive Madara > Edo Madara, which I agree with.
or how Hashirama stomped the Juubi
"Stomped" is a bit much, don't you think? He just restrained it, and sealed its movements/willpower to resist with a special Sealing Jutsu.
, or how Hashirama was the sole reason the barrier withstood a giant BB.
Well, again, If we scale everyone to their barriers, I'll agree with this point.
Maybe it's time we accept that Hashirama and Madara which are reincarnations of Indra and Asura btw, are special and really strong individuals.
I am not at fault that Madara even after seeing the power of Juubi and Juubito was still confident he could put Juubito down.
Let's stop thinking that "oh, it's Juubi, you can't be equal or strong than that just because", when many things say otherwise.
Well, for the record, I do believe that Madara and Hashirama are the two strongest characters in the series that aren't on the Juubi/Six Paths level (even above BSM Naruto and CS Sasuke), but I digress.
Let me ask you, would saying that a character didn't seem visibly worried about someone be valid reason to scale anyone else normally? Let's say Itachi somehow made it to the war, and confidently proclaimed that he was going to defeat Madara. Would you automatically gravitate towards scaling Itachi above the Perfect Susano'o solely based on that? I highly doubt that, but even if you did it's simply not a valid reason. Hell, it's not valid in this case either because Hashirama had nothing to worry about in regards to the Juubi, as it was already contained and restrained. He did not have to fight it directly.
As for Madara's statement about being able to handle Juubito, I already explained at length in the OP why that would not be valid. Minato literally believed he could do the same to JJ Madara with SM, so are we supposed to scale SM Minato to JJ Madara?
This isn't an overhaul, just some changes on like 5 characters, the actual overhaul would be when we separate all Ninjutsu on all profiles because apparently now we need to prove those scale to each other, so happened that we never had to do that in the past.
This isn't the overhaul, but a part of it. You can't expect me to have all the changes in one thread, can you? You can see how long this one already is......lol
Also, appeal to traditon, or something.
Went all out against Madara, wasn't going all out against Juubi. Was the sole reason the barrier was indestructible, even used clones inside a barrier.
I think this says a lot.
Why would he go all out when he's essentially using hax to restrain someone's movements and contain them? I already explained my stance on the barrier stuff.
As for the clones, I'm not sure what that's meant to signify, but for what it's worth, they were significantly weaker than usual since he was focusing most of his chakra on the barrier.
Yeah, except Naruto with Sasuke still got shitstomped by Obito when he got serious.
Literally, the moment he got serious those guys were stomped to the ground and had to break his will.
Well, yeah. That's kinda the whole point of the second half of my OP, so thankfully we at least agree on this.
Hashi wasn't going all out against Juubi right from the start. Well, there was no hype for Juubi from Hashirama that's for sure, or from other Kage.
So we decide scaling based on portrayal now? Also, Juubi already got plenty of hype from Kurama and Gyuki prior to the Kage's arrival, so it would've been redundant to waste time on hyping him up all over again.
That's different,
Uchiha Flame Formation isn't all about Obito's power, it uses the ground as catalyst and that's why requires less chakra than usual barriers, and it's noted that its power comes from extreme heat.
Even If it was a pure feat of power that didn't require any catalyst Obito still wouldn't get an AP, because it's noted in DB that the thing which repelled Gyuki was extreme heat of this exact technique.
Heat doesn't stop punches though, it just burns. Gyuki was burned, yes, but the force of his punch was also halted completely.
In any case, I won't stall the conversation any longer with the Obito stuff, but you should probably stop using the barrier as an argument as well, since there's quite a few problems with using it to scale Hashirama anyway. For starters, if we were to use it for scaling, it would scale to his physicals because there's really no connection between it and Mokuton. At best it would get it's own separate rating, so I think it's really useless to continue arguing about the barrier because it'll lead nowhere.
Oh really.
1. His Deity Gates can restrained Juubi before lowering it's will, and those can tank Juubi Dama.
And I still ask why should they scale to his Mokuton directly, and not just get their separate rating on his profile?
2. He is the reason the Barrier was indestructible, this isn't my headcanon it was confirmed, the Barrier requires characters of Kage Caliber, so, not some fodder, meaning it's a feat of strength:
Okay, so are we supposed to scale the other Kage like Minato, Tobirama and Hiruzen to it as well? Orochimaru would scale to Hiruzen, Ginkaku and Kinkaku would scale to Tobirama, and the list goes on.
Also, on this "Nation-building God" thing, that doesn't really mean anything AP wise. Hashirama built Konoha, and led to the stability of the Land of Fire, and by extension the rest of the world. I'm 99% sure that's what it's referring to. Even if we take this statement at face value, and just slap "Country level" on his profile, that would still be significantly off the 6-A+ mark, so it doesn't work as a supporting feat, even with maximum wank.
3. Wasn't that concerned about Juubi. Has admitted his inferiority only to Juubito, who was stated to be stronger than Juubi. (because of focusing the power, but the method is irrelevant)
I already addressed this, but this really isn't a proper scaling method. A lot of characters didn't directly admit inferiority to other characters, but does that automatically scale them above those characters purely because of that? Even if the feats don't add up?
4. Madara with his Sage Mode was stated to be a threat to Juubito. He himself literally said that he could weaken Juubito to the point of extracting Bijuus.
Read the OP.
And don't make another comparison with Naruto in this case, we both know Juubito stomped Naruto and Sasuke when he got serious, that's one of the reasons they don't scale.
I love you rn, ngl. I'm contemplating a concession just because of this.
5. That same Madara that threatened Juubito was only started regaining the strength of Prime Madara which Hashirama fought in the past, Hashirama himself made a statement, not me.
We both know Madara required Senjutsu to do anything to Juubito, so while his Prime self may have been as strong as his SM self, that doesn't mean he was capable of doing anything to Juubito in his prime due to lacking Senjutsu (Which is the main property that all those characters who harmed Juubi Jins with their Jutsu have in common.
6. A comparison of Juubito to Hashirama from Databook. Doesn't necessarily mean they are equal but shows the level of power both possess:
You already admitted that Hashirama is far inferior to Juubito, which was directly stated and confirmed by Hashirama himself, so I'm honestly not sure what to make of this. You already know this, but if the DB contradicts the manga in any way, then it is ignored.
Edo Hashirama was no match for Juubito, that's true, Alive Hashirama on the other hand is unknown. I didn't make this statement, Kishi did.
At best, he would scale to SM Madara, who was comparable to the individual Bijuu; a far cry from the Juubi.
7.
I know this is not canon and anime only, but this is equivalent to Juubi Damas.
Well, we'd need to calc it first to confirm that, but as you said it's unfortunately not canon. Just to make it clear, I'm not being sarcastic. I genuinely wish this were canon.
8.
The explosion from Shinsuusenju is so big it almost makes mountains look flat. Nobody made such big explosions in Naruto besides Hashirama and Juubi. The explosion itself dwarfs Shinsuusenju that dwarfs mountains.
I agree that it's an awesome feat, but again we need to get it calced and accepted before it can mean anything. We can't just 'eyeball' feats like that, that's what calcs are for. Also, I highly doubt this feat will yield anything in the 6-A range, as we likely won't use vaporization for it like the TBBs, but this is one of the cases where I hope I'm wrong.
9.
Madara was the closest person to Juubi when Tenpenchi happened. He didn't move from that place at all,
and he took the very first shockwave that created a massive crater. With Susanoo of course, which lost one hand in the process.
So was KCM Naruto, and a bunch of other Ninjas who survived. They didn't tank the full yield of the Tnepechii, but only a small portion, which can also be calced whenever we get an accepted Tenpechii calc.
I am against scaling character to X level, just because you or somebody else thinks it makes sense. The manga made itself clear.
Once again, I would be inclined to disagree.
Edo SM Hashirama=>Edo Madara>=Juubi. I excluded Juubito because even I believe he is stronger than even Prime Madara and SM Hashirama, being able to fight someone and weaken them still doesn't make you equivalent in power.
I fully agree with your thoughts on Juubito, at least. Finally some common ground.
In the end, this is Madara and Hashirama we are talking about, not some random fodder, literally no one scales from them, they are special strong individuals.
And I'll stand by this always.
I agree that they are special, and strong, but there is a problem here. Other characters DO scale to their full power, or I should say just one. That character is called Kurama, and he is shown to be comparable to them time and time again during their VOTE fight, and this is also confirmed through multiple statements that I've provided in my High tiers scaling section of the OP.
Why is this an issue? Well, like I explained before, his 50% self (AKA. BM Naruto) has his literal full power, being the combined charged TBB, calced at Low 6-B. Even if we go with my interpretation that the MA greatly increases power beyond the sum of its parts, we'd still be left with the issue of it being an amp of literally thousands of times over, which just doesn't add up tbh. SM being that big of a boost doesn't make sense under any circumstances either.
