So I wanted to go a line down but I pressed "post reply" shortcut by accident.
Remind me to remove that feature from my account.
Yes.
I'm going to sleep right after this so I'll reply to everything pertaining to this tomorrow.
Anyways.
I obviously agree with 5-C base Naruto. I've advocated for this for weeks-months and people have said "ehhhh idk, makes scaling weird" and such, which I clearly didn't care about.
I'm surprised you didn't add the feats against Delta and Isshiki there, or use the fact that Base Naruto EOS could clash against rinnegan Sasuke w/ even the anime adding more on top of it, but I digress.
I disagree with one thing, and that's the Tenseigan bs.
Yeah no, let's go back to the root of the problem.
They didn't destroy the Tenseigan. They didn't even touch the Tenseigan. They touched the container that held the Tenseigan.
Let's look at your quote shall we?
Yes. The Tenseigan was a cluster of Byakugan. Proven by the movie that shows that the Tenseigan was a cluster of Byakugan.
Why am I focusing on this?
What they destroyed was not the Tenseigan, it was the container of the Tenseigan.
Every time a chakra based being is absorbed, destroyed, etc, they get smaller in size.
So in the case of this, if it was a full chakra construct, it should've been getting smaller throughout the movie, but instead it was stagnant.
What they destroyed was the container that held the Tenseigan, which has no valid reason at all to scale to the chakra output of the entire Tenseigan.
You don't scale to the joule output of a battery by destroying the case that holds it.
Another issue is that it seemed to be a chain reaction. It was hit by the 8 trigrams rasengan and not a single crack. Instead it started to flicker, then it pushed out all the byakugans.
The novel says it exploded
So yeah, do I agree with 5-C base? Ofc. Do I agree with that reasoning? No.
