Well, as established earlier, the Silver Way is infinite in sizeWe can't really quantify the amount of energy needed for that.
Everything has been checked and given references.Okay. So can the page be created now then, or is there anything left to do here?
Well Planck, QuasiYuri and Confluctor have all given confirmation on the profile itself a while ago. The profile hasn't changed at all since then.Yes, but I would prefer a confirmation/go-ahead from staff members that are more knowledgeable about this topic.
Infinite.We can't really quantify the amount of energy needed for that.
Sun Wukong having Infinite Energy or Power has been debunked way too many times in the Novel. He's gotten tired before and exhausted before, couldn't lift certain objects that were most certainly not infinite, and couldn't beat specific opponents without help.Infinite.
Wukong is constantly said to have infinite energy.
Which is why he slapped the shit out of Heaven while still an early adult.
Yeah, looks fine to me
We also have characters with multiple magnitudes of infinity in attack potency getting tired and exhausted. That's just how it goes with fiction. As I've said back when this thread started, due to the nature of journey to the west, some of his feats and counter feats are up to interpretation, including his inability to lift 3 mountainsSun Wukong having Infinite Energy or Power has been debunked way too many times in the Novel.

Way too many things happen that prove that while has a lot of Stamina and Power it is finite
I agree, and maybe someone in the future can make a CRT for Infinite Power/Energy and a Tier 3 rating. Personally, I'm content with what he is at.We also have characters with multiple magnitudes of infinity in attack potency getting tired and exhausted. That's just how it goes with fiction.

That’s not what infinite power means in this context.Sun Wukong having Infinite Energy or Power has been debunked way too many times in the Novel.

Guanyin straight up says he can't lift something as heavy as all of the water in the oceans and seas. She then casually does so.That’s not what infinite power means in this context.
And lifting strength is different than infinite power too, and to my recollection, only Five phases mountain was any problem and that’s as because the mountain was sealed by the Buddha, he later ended up destroying the mountain range to free himself.
Ya, he fought the Gods of Time and the Gods of Darkness and Light as well, that's why he has resistance to that stuff. It's also why he's 4-A instead of 4-C like he would have been.Also, are we forgetting the time Wukong fought off several constellations and the embodiment of the Cardinal directions?
Because he was nearly beaten to Death by the fires of Samadi briefly before. Also, Guanyin's vase is more than just a container for all the Water in the world. It is heavily symbolic, which, as the allegory for the mind, means that Wukong isn't worthy.Guanyin straight up says he can't lift something as heavy as all of the water in the oceans and seas. She then casually does so.
What? No they're not, we've had this argument, I've already proven it over and over again.The Infinitely long rivers are a mistranslation
Yeah, which isn't something I brought up, needless to say, why would it be mistranslated? Do you have any evidence to back that up?So was the infinitely deep river of the Underworld.
Why would that make him 4-A?Ya, he fought the Gods of Time and the Gods of Darkness and Light as well, that's why he has resistance to that stuff. It's also why he's 4-A instead of 4-C like he would have been.
That's never stated in the story and she specifically states its cause he cant lift the oceans. If you can find a scan in the JTTW Novel that says otherwise we can change it.Because he was nearly beaten to Death by the fires of Samadi briefly before. Also, Guanyin's vase is more than just a container for all the Water in the world. It is heavily symbolic, which, as the allegory for the mind, means that Wukong isn't worthy.
It is a symbol of Good fortune and contains pure water capable of relieving suffering, which would be why Wukong cannot carry it, because he is very far from pure at this point int he story.
Yes they are, they are not mentioned once within the most accurate translation of the novel. Trust me I searched the entire novel multiple times.What? No they're not, we've had this argument, I've already proven it over and over again.
We agreed on not using anything from outside of the JTTW Novel. Let's not argue over this again.Why would that make him 4-A?
If you're saying they have control over all Light and Darkness in the cosmos, then they'd be Infinite, not 4-A.
The Daoist/Buddhist cosmos is infinite.
The Silver Way itself is an infinite galaxy dividing Heaven and Earth because the Jade Emperor didn't want his daughter to marry a Weaver.
Then in the Buddhist notion of the cosmos, around 200 million miles below the Surface there's an infinite layer of Sky.
That's a statement from a less accurate translation. Sun Wukong does not scale to them in any way.I've also already shown infinities like the Infinite Dragon Realms, and if you only take them to be finite spaces onto themselves, that would still be High 3-A, Infinite again.
Citation, because there isn't "most accurate" translation of JTTW, because this isn't some manga series where there's "the official translation" by some company, there's many different translations, and the ones I have read confirm that many things in the cosmos are infinite.Yes they are, they are not mentioned once within the most accurate translation of the novel. Trust me I searched the entire novel multiple times.
The Silver Way is literally mentioned in the story, and this is what it would mean. These things have meaning you know?We agreed on not using anything from outside of the JTTW Novel. Were not arguing going over this again.
I don't know what you want me to say, this is what's accepted. If people hadn't ruined Mythology profiles so badly to the point they got banned and stopped digging into religion so much when making them we wouldn't need to do it this way.Citation, because there isn't "most accurate" translation of JTTW, because this isn't some manga series where there's "the official translation" by some company, there's many different translations, and the ones I have read confirm that many things in the cosmos are infinite.

The Silver Way is translated as the Milky Way into English, but obviously, they don't call it that, because that's the Western name for it, just like Chinese people don't call them China, China. It was originally called the Middle Kingdom.
This is what I mean about context and how nuances are lost in translation and when people who don't know the background context, come to wrong conclusions.
The Universe in JTTW is Infinite, but not because of the Milky Way statement. Atm a single World in JTTW is Low 1-C to 1-C in size.The reason why the original revision for Wukong didn't go through was people were doing what's happening now.
They're taking translation as literal, like the Milky Way just being the Milky Way galaxy and not actually what it would be to a Chinese artist in the 16th century, or any of the context.
The crux last time was "As many sands in the Ganges river" was taken to literally be that number that we know now, not the proverb.
As I said, I'm not using religion to scale Wukong, but people see me using the actual context behind the words spoken and freak out like I'm going to drop the Diamond Sutra onto the profile and declare Wukong is tier 0.
Nothing I'm saying is from the Religion, it's what these words mean.
It largely seems fine.
Not really, a bunch of things don't make sense atm.It largely seems fine.
The Divine Root Conceives and the Spring Breaks Forth As the Heart's Nature Is Cultivated, the Great Way Arises Before Chaos was divided, Heaven and Earth were one; All was a shapeless blur, and no men had appeared. Once Pan Gu destroyed the Enormous Vagueness The separation of clear and impure began.
The best evidence that they are not the same is when it talks about the Dharma and the Great Way separately in the same sentence, in this sentence, it says the Dharma is the way TO the Great Way, not that they are the same.When Sun Wukong was outside the doors he bowed to all his spiritual elder brothers and laid out his bed on the verandah. The next morning and every following day he studied language and deportment under his spiritual elder brothers, expounded the scriptures, discussed the Way, practiced calligraphy, and burnt incense. When he had any spare time he would sweep the grounds, dig the vegetable patch, grow flowers, tend trees, look for kindling, light the fire, carry water, and fetch soy. Everything he needed was provided. Thus six or seven years slipped by in the cave without his noticing them. One day the Patriarch took his seat on the dais, called all the Immortals together, and began to explain the Great Way.
When the Dharma king would destroy it the Dharma is infinite;
The Dharma runs through heaven and earth, opening the Great Way.
The origins of ten thousand Dharmas all come down to one;
The features of the Three Vehicles are basically the same.
Forgot to change the name for that, I'll do it in a bit.Not really, a bunch of things don't make sense atm.
Dharma Bodied Buddha. This is the Dharmakaya, Dharma Body or Truth Body, these aren't different things.
Great Sage Equal to Heaven is not a stronger version of Wukong, the only time Wukong gets stronger is during his training to be a Daoist Immortal. In fact, Wukong was given the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven specifically because it was an empty title with no actual meaning. In fact, Wukong was given the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven specifically because it was an empty title with no actual meaning.
Neutral to this, more people agreed to it than disagreed.His first key being "Post Buddha sealing" doesn't make sense, because Great Sage Equal to Heaven comes before being released, and Wukong isn't actually weakened by his time under Five Phases Mountain (IIRC)
Neutral, since it was accepted. If anyone else has issues with it they should speak up about it.While I think Wukong is a genius, he is not an Extraordinary Genius.
I'll edit that since a Dharma Bodied Buddha is as you said not a different thing.The Buddha isn't Dharmakaya. The scans in the JTTW cosmology blog do not say this either.
They say "Mind is the Buddha and the Buddha is Mind; Both Mind and Buddha are important things. If you perceive there's neither Mind nor Thing (Buddha), Yours is the Dharmakaya of True Mind."
This is stating that when you remove the division between the Buddha and Mind and see both as nothingness, you achieve the Highest Enlightenment of the Dharmakaya.
I'm not entirely sure what would make him Extraordinary Genius, he's very talented and combat smart, but we aren't going to be giving Goku Extraordinary Genius now, are we?Neutral, since it was accepted. If anyone else has issues with it they should speak up about it.
Fair point. As for The Great Way and Dharma separation I'll go through that in a bit to make the distinction.I'm not entirely sure what would make him Extraordinary Genius, he's very talented and combat smart, but we aren't going to be giving Goku Extraordinary Genius now, are we?
His best intelligence feat before he becomes a Buddha to my knowledge is him mastering Daoist Immortality in a short time, which is extremely impressive, but not Extraordinary Genius level, just Genius.
For example, Wukong's intellect doesn't exceed the peak of Humanities, as he was very easily tricked by Xuanzang relatively early into the Book.
I mean mostly, it's a nitpick, but it does change the way we scale things.Fair point. As for The Great Way and Dharma separation I'll go through that in a bit to make the distinction.
True, but still good to correct it. Anything else I should take note of?I mean mostly, it's a nitpick, but it does change the way we scale things.
Because it means Buddha preaches the way to go beyond the Dao and sees it as nothing, and the Dao is the origins of Yin and Yang.
Well Kenshiro IS extraordinary genius under his profile for learning how to fight and use pressure point magic really well. He mastered some new technique a very few can master or counter.I'm not entirely sure what would make him Extraordinary Genius, he's very talented and combat smart, but we aren't going to be giving Goku Extraordinary Genius now, are we?

I imagine then that rating is incorrect, for example, Goku has many similar feats, such as instantly copying techniques after seeing them once, and he is far from an Extraordinary genius.Well Kenshiro IS extraordinary genius under his profile for learning how to fight and use pressure point magic really well.

Kenshiro (Hokuto no Ken)
Kenshiro (拳けん士し郎ろう, Kenshirō?) is the protagonist of the Hokuto no Ken franchise, the 64th successor of the Hokuto Shinken style of martial arts, and the greatest of all of them in its 1,800 years. Originally an orphan from Taiseiden, Asura, and a descendant of the Hokuto Sōke bloodline, he was...vsbattles.fandom.com
Wonder if that changes how we view things.
He would have taken the throne from the Jade Emperor. Of course him winning was impossible.Also, would have happened if he did win his bet against Buddha?
The result would have likely been the same.Also, would have happened if he did win his bet against Buddha?
Well, the sum totality of everything listed in his intelligence section did seem to place him a bit beyond regular upper border human limits, but maybe "Genius in martial arts" would have been better?Well Kenshiro IS extraordinary genius under his profile for learning how to fight and use pressure point magic really well.

Alphys or W.D. Gaster fit better into the Extraordinary Genius categoryWhich isn't something that Kenshiro would fit into.
That does seem like an Extraordinary Genius feat, yes.Alphys or W.D. Gaster fit better into the Extraordinary Genius category
Although Wukong does have the intelligence feat of learning and practicing toaist immortality which usually take millions of years to learn (with the Jade Emperor taking 9.6 billion years to learn) but it only took him what was it a couple of decades or was it centuries?
Gotta ask, why is the Buddha’s word being used for the possibly section?True, but still good to correct it. Anything else I should take note of?
No, that’s not what happened with the Jade Emperor.Alphys or W.D. Gaster fit better into the Extraordinary Genius category

Okay, maybe the Jade emperor isn't the best example, are there any more examples of how long it took to learn Daoist immortality?Jade Emperor mastered Daoist Immortality practically immediately, he's beyond protege for Daoist practices, literally being an avatar of Yuanshi Tianzun
I guess it should be most lkely, I only have it at possibly because of how vague the statement is. We don't know how he's moving them, how far he can move them, etc.Gotta ask, why is the Buddha’s word being used for the possibly section?
Shouldn’t that just be flat out confirmation?
