Holy shit, this thread became a shit-show since I left.
I'll try and answer all of the points that I see.
>Is Magia Record cano
Yes
Cool, just checking.
>UKG's 5-B scaling
Refer to this.
Also, I'm not really getting the reasoning "Meth is 5-B, but he has tier 3 outliers so Reinhard is stronger than UKG in raw AP"
It's not that they are outliers, it is, similar to the scaling from Madoka, and immense lowball.
Although AP doesn't matter here as Gretchen is already growing to 2-A - so even if he did have the AP advantage, he wouldn't keep it for long.
And it is not like AP is what is going to win this fight.
>Do the passives kill instantly
It's lore stuff so we don't really know, but I'm pretty sure that if Reinhard is busy dealing with a dozen of powers at once, he'll be overwhelmed fairly quickly.
That's the point of the question.
If, for example, the poison and holy passives destroying Reinhard would cause Reinhard's body to instantly rot and burn for his sins
which he doesn't have - then I would say that UKG would win via incapping him indefinitely as he is continuously being resurrected via his 1-A immortality.
If it isn't instant, however. I would make the argument when Reinhard gets assaulted by UKG's thirty passives and feels himself dying, that in what would be his last thoughts he would summon Glads as a "shield" to protect him, where he can regenerate safely.
Reinhard never has gotten ****** over by dozens of passive abilities in the series, for obvious reasons as he is the big bad antagonist in Dies Irae so him getting yeeted wouldn't make much sense in the story. And every time he encounters a hax ability whether it be passive or active, he always just brushed it off to seem more unstoppable.
So while something like this has never happened in the series and something I can't physically show you with scans of it happening, I would make the conclusion that my argument would happen because Reinhard isn't dumb - quite the opposite really - the most logical thing to do in a situation where someone (Reinhard in this case) is getting ****** over by all sides, is to retreat and rethink the plan of attack.
Then, because of her almost killing him, he will reward her with "his love" by throwing his spear at her, as he did with Meth after he stomped the LDO.
>There is also the fact that UKG has "all the possible futures" level precog, so if she has a power that works on Reinhard (She has pretty much every power that you'll ever see being mentioned in a PMMM thread, excluding Homura's stuff, plus resistance to it on a 2-A scale) be it active or passive, she'll use it.
1. This is a tangent I admit, but I am curious, why does she have every witches' abilities besides Homura? What makes Homura so special?
2. Well, the powers that we are talking about are passive, correct? So it's not like she really has to think to use any of her powers that would be able to kill Reinhard anyway.
>Also, UKG can get away if Reinhard tries to snipe, so that's moot. Rein can reach her, but he won't really know where she is because he doesn't have any sort of cosmic awareness, while she does.
At which point she really only have to wait until she reaches tier 2, which wouldn't take long
I am kind of confused here.
Why would being Tier 2 matter?
And wouldn't running away be Self-BFR?
>Idk what Glads does beyond regen and teleportation
Glads is Reinhard's Hadou-type Briah, it is his castle constructed from the skeletons and souls of his legion, his spear is his Yetzirah.
Briahs are the Die Ewigkeit (Magic of the series) caster's deepest desires being imprinted onto reality.
There are two types of Briah - Gudou and Hadou. Hadou is when the users desire effects the surrounding area with a limited range. Gudou is when the desire emanates inwards, changing the user's body.
Now about what it can do:
It has a passive effect of distorting distance and coordinates letting only those that Reinhard wants to come inside - cutting itself off from the world of Foreknowledge - which is the law of
Mercurius.
Since the castle is detached from the world, Reinhard can summon it at any point throughout creation, and instantly teleport with it. When it enters a space,
it will rip out and absorb any nearby souls in its range, although that doesn't matter here.
He can also summon his legion to it at any time, and Reinhard is able to indefinitely resurrect them even if their souls are destroyed or erased from existence.
The castle can also become a giant skeleton that shoots Light beams, but that doesn't really matter here.
Reinhard also has a skeleton army that he can summon, but that doesn't really affect this fight.
I think that's it.
Did that answer all your points?
