Maou Gakuin Discussion Thread

Going by this page reason manipulation isn't a thing and when Anos destroys reason to do impossible things he really just destroys laws and concepts to do so. What do you all think?

He don't. Graham's nothingness lacks reason even that's gets Negged by the sword. Logic doesn't apply to it. And if he only manipulates laws and concepts it shouldn't affect NEP type 2 🗿.
 
This is not an argument tho. It could just be a verse thing.
That's not a verse thing. If that's a vese then that's not NEP type 2 🗿. Also thats an arguable. I gave proof for it being above laws and concepts. By your logic evryone who has plot manipulation in other series is only verse thing but they has only law manipulation?

That wiki has source manipulation, and you know in this wiki we don't have it this type of manipulation?

I am not saying Reason manipulation is plot manipulation ( for now ) but the thing is it's doing better things than what laws and Concepts manipulation does.

Funny you would say this when things like concept and law manipulation exists in the verse yet Venuzdonoa and MEoCD are clearly stated to destroy reason/logic.

Tagging it as law and concept manipulation is what we just do to describe the ability and avoid NLF
 
I doubt it... It has already been explicitly mentioned that order = law, the use of the word reason has also been shown in many occasions and almost in each one of them they make it superior to order itself and every time something impossible is done they always mention the manipulation or destruction of reason, not order.
 
We are using MTL. For all we know reason could also mean order or law in Japanese, would depend of context.
Meanwhile Official translation laughs
I pointed the blade at Ivis’s throat. “I’ll answer you as a gift to take to the afterlife. This is Venuzdonoa, the Abolisher of Reason—the demon sword of the founder, destroyer of anything in existence. Be it providence, fate, or a miracle, all will bow down before me and disappear.”
No matter how sturdy, how eternal, or how infinite a thing was, Venuzdonoa could destroy it—even reason itself. Reason was meaningless before the Sword of Devastation.
There is already one volume official translation out.
 
Like I said Japanese is very context dependent language, the meaning could change later when they have more info on it. For example the kanji that is used in Venuzdonoa's name is 理
That same kanji that is used for reason can also mean underlying principle of the cosmos which would be laws of the cosmos

If you continue to use the power of the Sword of Destruction, you will be able to continue to destroy me," he said. But that sword can't keep its shape permanently, can it? Especially if this is not your Demon King's castle.
Indeed. Venuzdnoa has a time limit.
He cannot continue to destroy the truth of his nihilism forever with the Sword of Destruction.
No matter how much magic you use, order will eventually return to its original form.
Once the blade is retracted, reason will return to its original form, and the nothingness that remains will take the form of graham and begin to move again.

And this pretty much equals them

秩序 here the same kanji is used in creating word "order"

Pretty sure the reason it’s referring to is Grahams nothingness whilst the order it’s referring to is the order of venuzdonoa

What's being refered here is that order(reason) that Anos destroys to do impossible things will come back, will be restored. Normally if you erase things they return to nothingness but Graham is nothingness that doesn't have order so Venuzdonoa just doesn't work on him.
Point being that reason and order are often used together to represent the same thing.
 
Then Venuzdonoa would never have been able to destroy Graham's nothingness...
理を Kanji used in "He cannot continue to destroy the truth of his nihilism forever with the Sword of Destruction." . Anos destroyed order of nothingness hence why Graham can't regenerate while Venuzdonoa is out
 
Pretty sure in volume 4 we start to get context that they are the same.
Contrary to that, vol 4 heavily implied that they're not.
「アノス・ヴォルディゴードは、苦肉の策として、破壊神アベルニユーの力を限定し、その方向を変えることで、破壊の秩序をこの世から奪った。そうして、あらゆる秩序、あらゆる理を滅ぼす、理滅剣という奇跡が生まれた」

 ノウスガリアは掲げた両手をゆっくりと握る。

「だが、それはあまりにも愚かな選択だ。神の秩序を、永遠に形を変えたままにしておくことなど不可能なのだから。秩序はやがて、本来の理を取り戻す。そのとき、いったいなにが起きると思う?」

"Anos Voldigård, as a bitter measure, limited and redirected the power of the god of destruction, Averniū, thereby depriving the world of the order of destruction. Thus was born the miracle of the Sword of Destruction, which destroys all order, all reason."

 Nousgaria slowly gripped her raised hands.

"But that is too foolish a choice. It is impossible for the divine order to remain unchanged forever. The order will eventually regain its original reason. What do you think will happen then?"

You first goes on to say we don't have official translation when I send official translation stating reason you want to try something else to downgrade the ability ☹️.

Also nothing you said not even slightest debunks anything. Reason and order both are differentiated in the verse. Your arguments are just assumption with little to no context.
 
理を Kanji used in "He cannot continue to destroy the truth of his nihilism forever with the Sword of Destruction." . Anos destroyed order of nothingness hence why Graham can't regenerate while Venuzdonoa is out
Lemme debunk your entire reasoning easily.

Reason is not the same as order, they are completely different. Anos doesn't destroy order, he destroys reason. Ultimate proof of this is if any order is destroyed not to mention order as whole, the world will be destroyed.
 
Oh lord Dereck check the thread which Ant tagged you 🚬🗿. Graham's aspects type 5 upgrade is just pending.

Expect order can be restored, Anos just destroys a part of it. Anyway I guess we'll wait for further translation.
