Ability additions look good except for the layered power null.

To get a layer in power nullification, you need to negate the ability of a character who has power null resistance. A power null working against a layered hax does not give a layer to that power null.

Can you rewrite this? I didnt understand what you mean lol.
I meant that a power null working against a layered hax does not make that power null layered.

Anyway, if it works against someone with a resistance to power null then I agree with that too

Canonity of the Novel
Counter Arguments!

First of all Saiki breaks the fourth wall regurarly so him suddenly showing us the novel does not mean the entire novel was actually two dimensional, plus by this logic this would make Saiki High Hyperversal

  • "Saiki needed powers of his alternate version to create the distortion!"
Which is why its not one of his base stats and will be stated that he can only do it if he is given enough power
  • "Why would Saiki gain five dimensional hax if R>F does not give HDE?"
Well right now R>F page states

"For example, if a character were to view an entire space-time continuum as fiction, they would be superior to such an extent that finite, or even basic infinite, differences in power cannot overcome their superiority. Thus, they would be treated as more than infinitely greater, such as in this case Low 1-C. The gap between the higher world and the lower world would be strictly one of quality, not quantity."

and

"Potential mediums for viewing a cosmology as fiction include: written media (Books or stories), images (Paintings, comics, or movies), data (Simulations or video games), or mental constructs (thoughts or dreams). All of the above would be considered less 'real' than the person who views the cosmology as such, and can directly imply qualitative superiority."

So unless the page will be changed this would give five dimensional hax, though if the page changes then I will agree and remove the 5D hax.

Final Additions

New Power Additions: Healing, Extrasensory Perception, Instinctive Action, Summoning, Transmutation/Sealing
Stats: Inf Stamina and 5-B Durability

I think Saiki would gain passive Plot Manipulation for being the "P
rotagonist" which would give him similar passive abilities with Mikami. Plus this is supported by how Saiki said his first manga before serialization along with the novel were his own doing and that he was the one who wrote them

The 5D would only affect Telepathy, Psychometry, Reactive Evolution and Plot Manipulation.

At the very least Sight Energy feats would be 2-A for affecting infinite universes rather than being Low 1-C because they come from the readers depending on how the standarts work for "power sources"

Agree: 6 (@Eseseso (Neutral on 5D), @edutyn, @Abscoolguy, @TWILIGHT-OP (Neutral on 5D), @Benimōru (On 2-A but Disagree on 5D), @Vzearr (Disagrees on Inf Stamina))

Disagree: 2 (@Georredannea15 (On 5D), @DontTalkDT (On 5D))
Abilities seems fine! Only thing is the 'many' link for Extreme cold resistance seems to be a dead link, but the other two included in it seem to justify having such resistance.

Also, the Metafictional stuff is pretty solid as well. That said, I'm not sure how it would translate to powers/abilities, and/or tiering (4th wall awareness, Low 1-C with psychic powers maybe?).

All in all, I'd agree! This is a pretty good compilation of both manga and novel statements/feats.

It would give him some 5D hax and give him Passive Plot

I could see this being passive plot manipulation. Especially considering the plot manipulation he could do by accident (thinking things into existence). Fair enough!
 
I suppose that's fine.

Saying someone's 'aura is different' is a figure of speech. It refers to when some aspect of someone - whether their appearance, personality, or whatnot - has noticeably changed the vibe they give off. The succeeding dialogue makes it clear that this is all this statement was meant to convey. This is not extrasensory perception - this is just an expression that shouldn't be taken literally.

Is the statement "The world's characters are all under my control" literal? I would expect this statement to be expanded upon.

Telepathy is fine. Reactive Evolution is a bit more contentious - again, 'this trick won't work on me twice' is a figure of speech, used to refer to when someone is prepared for someone to try something again they'd been duped by in the past. That could refer to what we'd consider Reactive Evolution, but it could also just refer to general preparedness.

Instinctive Action requires some level of 'surreality' to qualify. To quote the Instinctive Action page:

"Actions done through a regular human's realistic instincts don't count, their feats need to be surreal (e.g. displays of the concept of Mushin as it is in real life don't count, but a portrayal of it in a series as an actual, reliable phenomenon would count)"

An off-hand statement about how someone 'instinctively [moved] out of the way' would not qualify.

This is fine.

That's fine.

This is fine.

  • Extreme Cold (Saiki has been in space many times and has not suffered any effects from radiation or cold)
This is fine.


That's fine.

1 and 7 are fine. Why 2 and 3? I don't believe we usually give those just for having a non-corporeal form after death.

What exactly are you pointing to in that scan as evidence?

It just says that he "killed the momentum, quite a bit" of the meteorite that he called down. This doesn't show that he manipulated the property of 'momentum' itself to do that - it just says that he slowed it down. This isn't Vector Manipulation.

Eh. Saying 'this fight would go on forever' is the kind of hyperbole I would expect in this context - that is to say, it probably wouldn't literally go on forever, but it would go on for long enough that it shouldn't be considered as an option. This is contentious, but I'd be willing to consider it as a literal statement if there is some substantiating context.

And Saiki without his limiters is 5-B, I take it? If so, that's fine.

I don't see how Mikami becoming a protagonist and having certain powers proves that Saiki would also have those powers while he is a protagonist. If he does, wouldn't that be directly demonstrated in some form? Why are we inferring it indirectly?

I'm neutral on most of the 5-D and Sight Energy matters at this stage. There's something worth investigating here, but it's not clear where the boundary between 'an ability we should take the implications of seriously' and 'off-kilter 4th wall breaks' falls in these scans. We don't give characters 5-D hax because of brief, tongue-in-cheek references to how they're affecting the viewer of the story, but the idea that these abilities could come from 'supreme observers' who see the world as fictional bodes some credence to it. I'll remain neutral for now.

I won't comment on the canonicity matters. These questions are always tied up in subtleties of authorial intention that, for a verse I have no prior knowledge of, I can't give meaningful comments on.

I guess? I dont agree with you but I cannot really disprove that.

Yes. Yes its literal.

From the page

"Saiki has the ability to mind control but this mind control is so powerful that it can change the rules of reality; It can make colored hair a natural occurrence by changing human genes, made it so that all injuries in the world heal much faster than normal, made it so that buildings are built in weeks instead of months, made it so that the brain works way faster in important situations, made it so that a person with a small body can have ridiculous strength, made it so that a person can easily become unconscious by hitting them to the back of the neck, made it so peoples private parts would be impossible to see even if their clothes get torn off, can possibly grant superpowers to every human in the world.[31] Saikis Mind Manipulation can make people think different things and force them to say other things and do other things[32], changed the laws of his school so that instead of his teacher getting angry at his friend he congratulated her"

Saiki already has shown being able to passively just gain layers and resistances

He is also known for just...getting abilities on fly

"Although in the dream world Saiki is not able to use his powers, he managed to use them to wake up."

And the rattle was not affective on him as seen by the scan so it is kinda true that the sleep manipulation doesnt work on him anymore

But it does qualify? Kratos has it with the same statement.

Instinctively moving out of the way from an attack on the back is Instictive Reactions since the attack was literally 100x times faster and Kusuo had no time to react
1 and 7 are fine. Why 2 and 3? I don't believe we usually give those just for having a non-corporeal form after death.
The 2 and 3 are already on the profile with Regeneration, I am just addng the Immortality Type

What about possibly rating? Saiki is not really known for making hyperbole comments and is mostly %100 correct in his statements
I don't see how Mikami becoming a protagonist and having certain powers proves that Saiki would also have those powers while he is a protagonist. If he does, wouldn't that be directly demonstrated in some form? Why are we inferring it indirectly?
Basically Mikami took the protagonist role from Alternate Saiki and gained these abilities, its safe to say Saiki being a protagonist would have the same abilities. Its more like making the protagonist thing canon in the lore

What about 2-A and 4D Sight Energy?
 
Sounds good, then.

But it does qualify? Kratos has it with the same statement.

It's not really a concern of whether another character has it for a similar statement - it's a matter of the standards. If it doesn't meet the standards, and Kratos has it for a similar statement, that suggests the Kratos profile would need to be changed.

However, I suppose it's fine if we can confidently say they wouldn't have been able to react to it.

Fair enough.

He changes the look of his telepathy.
Could you elaborate? What does his telepathy normally look like?

To be clear - the idea is that having the 'role' of the protagonist inherently grants the user these attributes?

What about 2-A and 4D Sight Energy?
You mention 2-A would be because he merged 'all of those worlds together once he had gained enough [sight] energy', correct? Could you reference a scan to show when this occurs? I don't believe any of the scans you provided mention this, but it could qualify.

Wait nvm I dont think the scan shows that clearly, just ignore power modification I will remove it
To be clear - the idea is that having the 'role' of the protagonist inherently grants the user these attributes?
Yeah. Alt Saiki was the protagonist till he killed Nendo and his show got cancelled, his "role" carried over to that other guy. Which showed he can do these sheninagans with the "role"

Our Saiki however never got his show cancelled so he would still carry the role

Yeah. Let me look for the scan
