Glass did it more succinctly but by god I'm not gonna leave this draft half finished.
I. Time Energy and Time is fundamental for the existence of the multiverse and everything it contains
To be blunt, this section is wholly unnecessary. Time is, of course, fundamental to the universe. None of us would be here without time; This does not make it a concept, as many abilities on this wiki - such as the ability to control matter, souls, space, dimensions, and so on - deal with equally fundamental parts of reality, yet are distinctly
not concepts. Still, I will humor this section a bit by tackling each segment bit by bit.
Right, this is basic time stuff. Fine. I take issue with how the scan being used to say Time Power creates histories and dimensions does not actually say that Time Power can do that (it just mentions the creation of universes/timelines), but I'll let it slide. For now.
This is a somewhat deceptive phrasing of what the scans actually say. Time Power does control time (f
ucking obviously), but the parts regarding control over dimensions is fairly odd. This scan refers to
ruling over time and space. Demigra states he will
conquer the world (please note how he doesn't actually say anything about space-time like the imgur album claims he does). Tokitoki very vaguely
saved(?) all the dimensions. The first two scans are blatantly not related to hax of any kind; They are literally referring to just like, ruling over/conquering something. You don't need to have the power to reshape the universe in order to rule over it. The last scan also requires elaboration; How did Tokitoki do this? Is it something they do by existing? Did it require a specific ability? Saying "(x) saved all the dimensions!" is so incredibly vague devoid of context that this is basically nothing. Same deal with the
plot synopsis; Saying Tokitoki is responsible for all dimensions could imply a lot of things, not all of which are "Time Power sustains the existence of all dimensions".
So uh, a lot of extrapolation being done here, taking a lot of typical villain prose as literal and giving vague statements the highest interpretation possible. Of course, feel free to post additional context if there is any.
First link is dead. However, this is deceptively posturing time as a more fundamental force due to how it affects the physical world, when like... yeah, no shit? If you get erased from time, you get erased from space as well, since you just... don't exist. That's how existence erasure works; Whether it targets the body, soul, narrative, or what have you, whatever you erase doesn't physically exist because it's just
gone; That doesn't mean whatever you erased is conceptually tied to reality. This is especially pertinent to temporal erasure, due to how space and time are linked; If you no longer exist in any "when", you can no longer exist any "where", because time and space are inextricably tied to one another. Obviously, this works in reverse too, so the temporal restoration bit is similarly moot. This is merely a universal property of time, and not something unique to DBH.
I've covered the first few scans in point 2, so I won't repeat myself. However, saying his existence sustains
all dimensions simultaneously is uh, wrong? The
first scan doesn't say anything about distorting
all of space-time, just that there was a distortion in space-time (which, if you aren't aware, doesn't automatically have cosmology spanning range). The
second scan also implies a limited area of effect, being limited to a single timeline (it also doesn't mention Tokitoki at all, to be clear).
This scan just says "the universe", and not the entire multiverse, as does
this scan. It is absurd to me that yall have managed to get away with taking a scan that says "universe" and saying "no guys it totally means the entire multiverse!!!" with nobody calling you out on it, jfc.
See point 3.
This is subjective reality at best, and not particularly relevant to concept hax.
II. Time Energy and Time can alter and remove concepts
Okay, yeah, that's what time does. Nothing too notable, except this is
another instance in which the word "universe" is being misconstrued as "multiverse"; Genuinely, what is even the point of doing this? You know anybody can read those scans and see the text doesn't say multiverse, right?
This is taking the word "concept" overly literally; These places have a "different concept of time" (or absence of it) in the sense that time flows differently there (or not at all),
not in the sense that the literal fundamental abstraction of time is different there. I need you to understand that those are two
very different things. However, even if they weren't different, it wouldn't matter, because...
Creating a space without concepts does NOT mean you are capable of erasing concepts. It just means it was never a part of the world to begin with; For example, I can bake a cake without human flesh in it, but that
doesn't mean I have some special existence erasing power. It just means I didn't add a certain ingredient, just as Time Power users aren't erasing concepts, but rather, simply not adding one. Choosing to "not add" something and choosing to "subtract" something are different processes. I'm not sure how else I can describe this, because the blog's take on this matter is very far removed from how reality works. The same goes for the alteration of time; Changing the flow of time is, yknow,
time manipulation.
III. Time Energy and Time can influence and establish other, lesser fundamental abstracts
Okay, first of all, capitalizing Order to treat it as some important thing is a bit disingenuous when the original text doesn't do that. That said, time establishing "order" does not mean it controls the abstraction of order, just that time is what keeps things organized and, well, orderly. Much like how time works in real life, if time ceased to exist, there'd be no order (or anything at all, for that matter); This is not something unique to DBH. The second scan is just the name of an attack, while the third scan doesn't even seem related to the main point at all?
But the funniest part of this is that, even
if these statements were 100% valid, it wouldn't even be conceptual manipulation? We literally already have a power for manipulating laws and order?
Okay, so there are dudes with type 2 abstract existence in the verse. Cool. This doesn't mean blowing up a timeline is concept hax.
All of this is predicated on the idea that Sealas is talking about the abstract concept of evil and not like. literally anything else? This is taking a guy saying he's going to get rid of evil and drawing the highest possible interpretation from it with not a whole lot of evidence beyond "I'm going to remake the world so there isn't evil anymore!".
You know what, it's late, discussing DBH plot hax sounds like hell, and I'm tired, so let me just say that none of what's listed here is a concept. In fact, I'm pretty sure IZ got his concept-based AE removed, so you can't even use that. The rest of the blog is based on assuming time power is a concept already, so I won't tackle that.
TL;DR: This entire blog is looking at time manipulation, going "wow, time is really important to existence!" and instead of concluding that it works like, yknow,
how time is supposed to work, it comes to the absolutely insane conclusion that time manipulation must also be a form of concept manipulation.
