Continuing on from my previous thread.
Theme song of thread.
Like I said in my previous thread, I've gone through all the individual profiles of NNT to see if I disagree with anything, and to no one’s surprise I did.
Even ignoring the fact Death Zero isn’t actually Density Manipulation but rather Gravity Manipulation, and since nothing proves they resisted the pressure through some sort of esoteric means, it wouldn’t be accepted as a resistance but rather lifting strength.
Nothing about this feat shows anything that would grant a resistance, it just shows the sins physically resisting the pressure generated by the attack through pure lifting strength alone. Which wouldn’t be a resistance but rather LS.
So yeah this definitely needs to be removed.
Izraf’s regeneration got removed and Melascula’s regeneration got downgraded to Mid, so this resistance should be downgraded from High-Mid to Mid.
Resistance Negation -
Nothing in the scan provided shows Resistance Negation inherently, it just shows Zeldris and Meliodas “killing” the Supreme Deity with Tyrant Killing. Something which doesn’t require Resistance Negation to make sense, it could just be Tyrant Killing having a higher level of potency compared to other Darkness-based attacks which Supreme Deity resisted but wasn't able to resist this one. And since we’re never given any in-depth context about the functionality of the ability I believe my claim would require less assumptions to assert compared to the current rating we have on the profiles.
It should be removed, or at best turned into a “possibly” rating given the lack of concrete evidence for the ability and the higher levels of assumptions you need to assume are true compared to my claim.
High-Mid needs to be removed since Izraf’s regeneration got removed.
Radiation Manipulation -
The reasoning behind why we give Escanor Radiation Manipulation is a complete appeal to reality, just because in reality when heat reaches a certain level it gives off forms of radiation doesn’t mean we assume Escanor’s heat would also give off radiation without statements or implications. I tried using this exact same logic in one of my previous threads and was told directly by multiple mods that if we aren’t given a statement or implication about the heat generating radiation we can’t assume it does, regardless of the level of heat.
Also Sunshine having a “sun” motif isn’t enough evidence either to prove it would have radiation like our sun/stars in general produce, that’s another appeal to reality and isn’t something that’s accepted as shown in my previous thread.
Darkness Manipulation and Existence Erasure -
Izraf is getting his Existence Erasure removed, so this resistance would go with it. Also resisting physical attacks which are constructed of darkness doesn’t grant you resistances to Darkness Manipulation, similar how resisting the physical force generated by wood or plants doesn’t give you resistance to Plant Manipulation. That also needs to be removed as well.
Air Manipulation -
Same reason why you don’t gain resistance to Plant Manipulation just because you resist the kinetic force generated by wood or plants, Escanor overpowering Ominous Nebula isn’t a feat of him resisting Air Manipulation, it’s a physical strength feat of him overpowering the ability with pure physicality alone.
So that absolutely needs to be removed.
Same reasoning as explained in the “Meliodas” section of this post.
This should be turned into limited since Darkness, just like the Arks of Goddesses. is the direct counter to the holy nature of angels, meaning it’s a safer claim to assume that this is only applicable against holy beings, and not something that would work against anyone with elemental intangibility.
Also given the fact Tarmiel is consistently shown to not be able to phase through darkness attacks provides even more credence to my interpretation.
Radiation Manipulation -
Read the “Escanor” section of the OP for more context.
Regeneration Negation -
Read the “Escanor” section of the OP for more context.
Death Manipulation and Pain Manipulation -
Both should be turned into limited since both induce different effects depending on if the affected target is a demon or not, with Death Manipulation procing if the target is a demon and Pain Manipulation procing if the target isn’t a demon.
This is just blatantly not Regeneration Negation, the scan we currently use to support this rating is not only most likely a lower quality translation but also leaves out needed context. Melascula specifically says her stomach acid (which is the thing she affected Ban with, specifically its vapors) doesn’t actually negate Ban’s regeneration but rather puts him in a perpetual state of regeneration.
Given this very direct contradiction it should be removed entirely from her page.
Nothing within the scans provided actually proves Existence Erasure at all, and honestly seems to actively contradict that interpretation as well.
“Be utterly consumed by the darkness without a trace.” isn’t a statement about Existence Erasure inherently, just because the statement ends with “without a trace” doesn’t mean we’d assume it’s Existence Erasure without further context since other abilities would also do this exact same thing visually like Absorption or Deconstruction and would require a smaller amount of assumptions to claim. And since we’re shown how this supposed “Existence Erasure” actually interacts with objects I'm more inclined to believe this is more so Absorption or Deconstruction.
Existence Erasure should be removed and replaced with either Absorption or Deconstruction, i’m personally leaning towards Absorption because of the whole “be utterly consumed” portion of the sentence but i’ll ultimately leave this one up for thread participators to choose on.
