Not sure when to call it quits otherwise. Do you have a suggestion?

I'm preferring yes. The rotation is cut and dry to be High 3-A.

Scan pretty explicitly states it has infinite energy and the endless part is just a consequence.

I agree with it not being used to hurt with infinite energy at all times, but just 8-C over an infinite amount of time.
And you cannot count votes given without at least qouting or saying why you dis/agree.

It seems like ShiroyashaGinSan, who is a native Japanese speaker, has translated the original text as clearly stating that Johnny's attacks have infinite energy: https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/2493677

This was already brought up and I presented an argument on how the word being used had been redefined by the rest of the manga's explanation on the Spin and infinite rotation.Antvasima said:

Is no one gonna point out how Monarch added something to my comment even tho I had no idea of this CRT until a few hours back?
I seriously didn't type in this argument. I just said that the translation was neat, but I didn't pull up any lengthy argument.

Just source code messing up dude, that was me talking to Ant

Well, I am not informed enough to make an argument, so I am mostly neutral here, but both Shiroyasha and ALRF, who can read Japanese fluently, say that this is reliable, so that is worth listening to at least.
Then again, maybe the manga is simply inconsistent in its explanations?

The manga uses the word for infinity "mugen", which Shiro has translated to mean to limitless idea of infinity.
However, the manga itself repeatedly defines this "infinity" that the golden spiral aims for as something that means continuing forever, not something with infinite joules of force.
It's not that I don't have faith in his translation skills, it's that the manga changes the definition of the word he's translating.
And it's not inconsistent. The manga has never referred to the infinity as anything other than something that means continuing forever

Monarch, it would be better to bring some scans for that.
If you do I'm quiet sure most would agree (or you already did and I missed it.)

Apart from being even more difficult to find, how would that contribute anything to this? It's the same thing being said.TriforcePower1 said:

It could be a TL issue. Japanese often use eien which means lasting forever/eternity
It's why mugen is used for stuff like realm of infinite size, but for an exampke a place where time is stopped forever or an attack that continues on forever eien is more used
Can't confirm it to be the case for Jojo though but it's what it Jap usually do

Eng says: that spires forever
Japanese could say: that holds infinite energy
Or something like that. Or it could not say "Mugen" at all.

According to Shiroyasha who translated it, the word used was mugen.

To be sure, gonna address this comment:
"I'd say keep it. He does have to generate that infinite energy himself."
-Tac
This is wrong. In fiction one could easily say that the spin achieves what might be called perfect energy conservation and generates its own energy, which has been a(n impossible) goal for a very long time now.
