Additionally, I don't believe the OP has actually offered any real reason for
why the anime calc should be used over the current one.
Even if literally everything I said previously was incorrect and the OP's assertions were all correct, this issue would still stand. What makes that version better?
In my opinion, Arc's revised version would still be the better options for a few reasons.
Reason #1: Less Assumptions and Room for Error
Yeah, I think this one's pretty self-explanatory.
Arc's revised calculation doesn't need to assume things such as timeframe, which the anime version does.
It goes without saying that requiring less assumptions = less room for error. Add to that the anime's dubious canonicity as well as the other contradictions present within it, and I just don't see how one can justify using that version over this one for any other reason than "we want a higher result".
Reason #2: More Consistent with NaruSasu's SPCT
Yeah, this is another issue that came up during the original thread that the OP has not addressed whatsoever.
Hagoromo and Hamura's SPCT being so dramatically superior to Naruto and Sasuke's version makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I believe I put it well in my original thread:
So, yeah.
Reason #3: More Consistent in General?
I know that to a lot of you, this argument I'm about to make will seem like some malicious downplaying, or whatever, but it is what it is. It is something worth addressing IMHO.
So, the anime version of the feat is around 78 Zettatons, I believe.
Rasengan Uzuhiko is rated at
632.449 Zettatons.
That's an
8.1x difference for those wondering.
Now, the way we currently scale things makes it so people scale physically to the SPCT as early as Shippuden. Let's use Kaguya as a baseline. Let's say she'd be around 78 Zettatons. Through various scaling chains and multipliers, V2 Jigen scales around
12x higher than her, which would put him at around
936 Zettatons.
Now, it doesn't stop there. The way we currently scale things makes it so 'Hidari > Limitless Code >> V2 Jigen'.
And, uh, yeah,
Uzuhiko did this to Hidari.
Now, I'm ngl, I have my own personal gripes with a lot of the scaling I just laid out. But that's neither here nor there because
A) I don't plan to tackle any of it anytime soon, if ever.
B) That is the currently accepted status quo.
So, like it or not, consistency with said status quo is something ya'll have to content with if you want the other calc to be accepted.
If that offends some of you, then oh well, my bad lol.
"
But Uzuhiko can just scale above the 936 Zettatons value, it's not actually hard-capped at ~632 Zettatons"
Sure, that's true enough. But I feel like that's putting a band aid on one of the issues I've laid out, and ignoring the rest. Uzuhiko on its own may not be a defeater, but compounded with everything else? I feel like it just adds insult to injury if that makes sense.
So, basically, the main thing is that you guys need to build a compelling argument for why the anime calc trumps the currently used version regardless of all the lore debates discussed previously in this post.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, in conclusion, I think the OP has made a solid attempt at debunking my lore-related arguments. However, I do not believe the debunk attempt was all that conclusive. Additionally, I don't think other vital aspects of why the currently used calc is better were addressed at all. So all in all, I am personally in favor of continuing to use the current calc, and as a result do not agree with the thread.
