Alright I'm only gonna comment on a few things here, the others I don't really care for.
What part of the explanation gives this type 2? I don't see anything about being neither existing nor not existing, plus I don't see anything about Conceptual and Information stuff being nonexistent here, and lastly the fact that their bodies are still there shoots NEP in the foot here since you need to lack a physical body for you to get NEP.
Are you looking for a hard quote for nonexistence? one does exist in the verse but it mostly applies to gods who have far surpassed the 9th sense.
To my understanding from what i been told, Type 2 NEP can be granted in a variety of ways one of which is being/becoming more nonexistent than nonexistence.
As for the conceptual part its because Karma could in theory be a Type 1 Concept which is stored in the 8th sense and that is destroyed upon awakening to the 9th sense.
The informational part is because all of Saint Seiya Verse reality is composed of a primordial nothingness and primordial chaos called "Dunamis." it is the foundational building block of the whole verse. This "nothingness" and "Chaos" that composes their existence is destroyed upon awakening to the 9th sense.
Their bodies allows them to affect the world in a physical sense, and their physical bodies aren't even needed at this point. The 8th sense allows them to exist without the need of a body, but to affect and be perceived by the physical world they would need to either "deactivate" this power, use a more indirect method of manipulating the world, or possess a physical body.
The whole plot point of the 9th sense is achieving a state of nothingness (not directly stated but thats what is very heavily implied with the many showing it has)
Yeah I'm not seeing dimensional manipulation here. The scans just sounds more like the old HDM standards which aren't a thing anymore so...
well thinking about this scan. I think its just reactive evolution becuase the character the realm should be controlled by straight up said "
he adapted to this dimension."
Sooo can you show where it's stated that they're an unchangeable entity because of the fact that they're beyond causality itself? Because you need the two to be connected for it to qualify as type 5.
thats the whole point of the 8th sense. its based in Buddhism. This ability would be limited to only the Soul and The Mind of a character, but to give you examples.
The true nature of the world in Saint Seiya is
impermanence/transience here is a
second scan for that.
everything is in a state of constant change. Here is a second scan that
says everything is changing
The point of the 8th sense is to become "unchangeable" so that these constant changes in the universe will no longer apply to these users. This was explained by buddha in the series when talking to a young shaka.
[here] and then shaka reexplained this when he was reduced to a soul
[here]
Anything about this Karma thing existing prior to reality? Because there's no scans for that.
According to my understanding and what was explained to me in the past, there are other ways to show a concept is "independent of reality."
Karma is shown to be the force that drives the multiverse through "change." It also causes Universes in the multiverse to disappear showing that it is independent of these realities. even if all of them disappear the concept would still exist, as it even has an affect on the primordial nothignnes, and primordial chaos that existed before the multiverse.
Edit: Sorry for the really late response. Life has been kicking me over.
