Destruction vs Erasure vs Vaporization

[Ambrosia_and_duck_sauce]

What is even the difference between these, and how can I tell which is which by appearance?

 

[Ultima_Reality]

Erasure: You are simply deleted from reality, everything in you is gone, your Soul is gone, your Mind is gone, and your Body is gone too

Vaporization: You are destroyed and reduced to vapour i guess

 

[SchroKatze]

Vaporization breaks you down to your molecules and makes you poof.

Erasure is just deleting you from existence.

 

[Antoniofer]

Destruction involve several things, including vaporization; values depend of the material, the volume or how is destroyed.

Erasure is hax oriented, it depends of the interpretation of the verse.

Vaporization means that the material was reduced to vapor (passed from any state to gas), generally used if stated or was caused by a heat based attack; as some kind of destruction, the value also depend of the material and volume of it.

 

[Ambrosia_and_duck_sauce]

can erasure happen gradually or does it have to happen instantaneously, like how zeno does it? If it is gradual, it would seem more like destruction right, not erasure. I'm mainly asking this because of beerus' hakai. So, I ask again what does erasure "look" like?

 

[Akreious]

Erasure doesn't really have a set "look". Beerus' Hakai is as much existence erasure as Zen'Os one (on a weaker scale). We can SEE Zamasu turning into purple particles, but he's erased. Nothing can refute that. As opposed to Zen'Os killing of Frost which basically achieves the same thing.

Curiously shouldn't mid tier ER remove mid godly regen? I mean it erases all parts of you, including you ability to regenerate in the first plsce.

Mid-Godly Regenerationn is linked to something like nonexistence or a concept itself.
