I am about to probably leave forever, so I want to remove a burden that is annoying me. Stop acting like what you think is the absolute truth and the only real interpretation of anything.
Ryusuke's statement being metaporical is your own interpretation and nothing more. Which is fair, but it's also not the absolute truth considering that the statement is pretty straight forward to literally anyone else that have actually read the comic in the first place.
And the fact that you continously says that Welt defeating Ryusuke is an anti-feat is also a pretty clear indication that you understand very little of the Tier 1 standards. It's explained as clear as day that he defeated him be manipulatibg the higher dimension in which he resided, creating a Singularity that affected the dimension itself. He defeated him with Tier 1 hax, which is a extremely common thing that happens in fiction.
The actual defeat of Ryusuke has never been part of my argument. IF Ryusuke were considered a valid HDE, then I would easily accept that Star of Eden has tier 1 hax. If you look back at my past arguments about Tier 1, I've never disputed the existence of smurf hax in Honkai, only the validity of the tiering itself on a case-by-case basis.
I don't pretend to know better, or that my interpretation is the best. If I did that, I would still be stuck on Honkai being Tier 6 at the absolute highest. It was other people who convinced me of Tier 4 and higher, so I don't see why you pin this on me.
And lastly, the new R>F possible standard actually makes the rating even more solid, considering what Ultima said in previous pages about the standards, considering that Ryusuke tells clearly that Welt cannot interact with him because he is the "reader", and Welt later interacts with him by altering the higher dimension, not by physically punching him or anything.
The main rationale of the new R>F standard was that ANY interaction between fictional entities and real entities should be impossible, and cannot be equated to dimensional superiority. No matter how many dimensions you put in between, the higher dimensional entity can never truly consider the lower entity as "fictional" in the actual sense of the word. That is why I believe that Ryusuke's statement was metaphorical. That's because IF Ryusuke's statement were literal, then Welt would never have been able to defeat him even if he became infinite-dimensional; because no amount of additional dimensions can turn a fictional entity into a real one.
Your interpretation is just as valid as the interpretation of anyone else, stop acting like only yours is the one that matters, it comes off as extremely arrogant and nothing more. Have you ever wandered why no one else want to be involved with Honkai Impact 3rd in this wiki, despite everyone voicing the fact that the verse is in horrible conditions? Make the question and give yourself the answer. I hope that the overhaul that Shiroiyo is working on will actually make the verse better, because damn it needs it. Goodbye.
And I never said otherwise. I've never asked for anything more or less than proper arguments to the contrary. When people provide scans and explain the thought process for their interpretation, I can agree. It's only when people don't want to bother explaining their points, or when their points don't hold up to scrutiny, that I disagree with them.
You can ask everyone that's ever debated with me on this site, since even before the forum move. I accept when others have more solid interpretations than my own, and change accordingly. Even in the most recent case, did you not see me ultimately agree with those who disagreed with my latest CRT on Honkai?
I've always appreciated your input, and even moreso your desire to participate in supporting this verse where most others were all talk. If you find it too taxing to continue debating, believe me, I understand because I'm pseudo-retired myself. I've been there and have nothing against you even now. I just hope this reply clears things up before you leave.
