Yeah I'm downgrading this multiplier. Since it wants to make everything complicated (Boruto scaling is now horrifying because of it), and it makes a plethora of the scaling look weird, here's what I'll do.
First I'll go over the arguments that got it accepted, then I'll go over issues with the multiplier in general.
Why The Multiplier Got Accepted
I suggest that everyone reread over
this thread before you even think about giving input. It's very small since the OP is concise and everyone agreed.
This is an issue.
This is a valid strength statement for Jirobo, but not the other sound 4. This is because all of the sound 4 get different amps when it comes to Cursed Seals..
I will take this from the databook, the Tō no Sho.
In order from Jirobo, Kidomaru, Tayuya, Sakon/Ukon, and finally Kimimaro.
Jirobo (Jutsu File)
Which focuses on destructive power. The Arhat fist is known for its destructive power, which is shown by it's feats against Choji.
Kidomaru (Jutsu File)
His Level 2 amps precision.
Tayuya (Character File)
Her Level 2 amps Genjutsu.
Sakon (Jutsu File)
And character file
His Level 2 amps chakra levels.
Kimimaro (Jutsu File)
His biology is "amped".
These are all things which can be amped by chakra, but only Jirobo gets his strength amped.
The OP used Jirobo's statement for strength for them to justify it all, when he should've used another statement,
Kiba's about Sakon's, which amped
CHAKRA LEVELS by 10, not strength. This is consistent with
Jirobo's statement of chakra.
We know that chakra levels are not always 1:1 with AP, which is why Naruto's striking doesn't get weaker when he makes clones.
So no, the curse mark shouldn't even get that multiplier.
This statement was about segmental transformation, which is verbatim stated by Jugo. It's consistent, because we've never seen a cursed seal user use partial transformation in P1.
They do scale above Jirobo's cursed seal's
chakra level amp, but not because of that reasoning. That is a statement about their skill.
The rest does not matter because the rest is true, but it means little because of the previous being incorrect.
On top of that, a statement from the databook talking about the curse mark, specifically Sasuke's/Anko's and Kimimaro's.
The portion "Although their actual effect and potency are not directly evident" is basically saying that the effects and potency of the "amp" means that the amp isn't noticeable, which should be the case for a
10 TIMES MULTIPLIER.
It's basically stating that AP isn't the main drive for the curse mark.
Now.
It's as if this statement was created for the sole purpose of this verse.
Feats That Contradict the Multiplier
Base Naruto compared to Sage Mode
A Pain who was
matching base Naruto's AP could
block and take a kick from SM Naruto with minimal injuries.
A quick 2 Pain combo
could hurt Naruto and put him in a full nelson.
An even more tired, weakened, and injured Pain could
take a kick from SM Naruto.
Did he take the hits as if he tanked them or as if he was relative? Of course not.
The fact that they could keep up is an issue.
Ofc they shouldn't be relative for sending him flying, but the fact that he took the hit and could still fight him is a problem.
Base Naruto compared to Six Paths Sage Mode + KCM
I take it from my previous reply
here.
Boruto (Momoshiki)
Base Naruto got
kicked in the face through a stadium by Momoshiki and
isn't hurt (anime).
Base Naruto
fought against Momoshiki and
took hits from him (anime and manga).
Boruto (Delta)
Base Naruto
took hits from Delta and could slam her into the ground, kept up with her in speed, etc. (anime and manga).
Boruto (Jigensshiki)
Base Naruto
kicked Isshiki in his face and left a wound (manga).
Base Naruto
took a few knees from Isshiki (manga).
CS1 Sasuke compared to CS2 Sasuke
CS1 Sasuke took hits from KN1 Naruto then matched him with a 10x amp, which makes no sense.
Because of
this thread, this point is moot.
Base and CS1 Jugo compared to CS2 Jugo
CS1 Jugo is comparable to Suigetsu for
their feats of clashing.
Suigetsu could
block a hit from Ay. The same Ay who could
punch into CS2 Jugo, who's supposed to be 10x stronger than the one that fought Suigetsu.
In Conclusion
Those multipliers should be axed for SM, and possibly the Curse Mark as well.
