Well greetings everyone. I’m not very active here but I’m the resident Murder Drones expert if the internet and I made this little CRT because I disapprove of the downgrade CRT(I actually debated with the person who made that CRT but they resorted to consistent fallacies and ducked me, which is why I’m making this lol. Funny how we both have “Arceus” in our name though).
With this I will not only be making arguments to debunk the downgrade but also reinstate the original large planet stats via new information from ep 6.
Now without further ado, I’m going to start with debunking the arguments for the debunk.
energy went into the atmosphere.
It was a core explosion, as in, the very center of the planet, and it seemed to explode more so like an erruption, blasting upwards into space, rather than being a constantly expanding erruption. This is supported by the fact that we see a shockwave move the planet's clouds for only a certain extent and then stop.
This actually isn’t the case, the “planet core collapse” in episode 1 was pure deception, it was actually caused by the most mysterious admin, Nori, escaping Cabin Fever Labs which we see in episode 6(). It was never actually an explosion from the core.(for those who need it explained, Alice is talking about Nori leaving the other experiments for dead and says”she thought imploding all them folks was pretty slick” which is very clearly talking about the humans and that lines up with how Nori is an admin and that the lack of humans is what made escape possible. Alice also mentions Nori’s yellow eyes which means that Nori is an admin and was under the control of the AbsoluteSolver with the intent to destroy Copper 9, which makes it clear that Nori was responsible for the explosion. The explosion being the exact same color as the Solvers used by admins and the [Null] string Solver ability is the final nail in the coffin)
I’d also like to add that there were numerous drones in Cabin Fever Labs in episode 6 that survived the explosions and these drones we see are very much shown to not be any stronger or more durable in physical stats in comparison to normal Workers besides Yeva and maybe S if they are in Cabin Fever Labs like I’ve been theorizing.(this would also mean that we have confirmation of drones at the epicenter surviving which means that the original large planet level yield would be valid) I’ll get to this again later.
Uzi’s colony yes, but there is verbal confirmation in the series of other colonies in each city “with this colony wiped we’ll make top team this quarter for sure”, “I’m kinda the leader of the squad in this city”, there is also those drones in Cabin Fever Labs(in case you don’t know how the explosion we see is episode 1 is from Cabin Fever Labs, I’d like to mention that in the picture of Nori, a Sentinel, Yeva, and a JCJenson employee, the employee is wearing the exact same hazmat uniform and the exact same monitor is shown in episode 6 except damaged and with a second warning in addition to the planet core collapse notice.)
True. They are very much outside the blast radius, as is Uzi’s colony, however they still scale above the experiments shown in episode 6 who were at the epicenter.(though I’d like to mention that we bare minimum know that Tessa is superhuman, she may be the exception to the rule instead of the rule given that she’s more durable than a normal Worker Drone which are by far more durable than humans, but if other humans are even ⅙ as durable as Tessa then that would make it much more believable to begin with[Tessa is more durable than the average Worker Drone as she was able to get bit by Uzi without losing her finger meanwhile a wounded and sedated Uzi was able to bite off Alice’s fingers , plus she’s shown above average strength at least because as a child she was able to lift N and spin him around easily even though her hands were already sore and bruised from her abusive parents chaining her up so much ])
Yeah, Uzi’s colony isn’t near the explosion at all, for reasons I already said I don’t feel like it is a smoking gun argument, but the CRT is correct in this point(though 6B humans also wouldn’t be too out of the question because again, Tessa is an absolute monster in terms of physical stats when compared to even Worker Drones.
This isn’t important for the scaling either way but since MD lore as a whole comes first to me over debating, I’d like to make a correction. These trees snap the moment Uzi lands on them in episode 4, this means that they are long dead to begin with(most likely from radiation the day of the explosion), and it’s actually been quite a long time since the explosion. We don’t have an exact timeline but Nori had plenty of time to return to the colony, warn Khan to build doors against the Murder Drones(though sadly he didn’t listen till she had already died.), and seemingly had been there for quite some time given the entire room dedicated to Nori’s kooky insane stuff.(also MD is kinda weird about time, for example there is a 9 month timeskip between episodes 3 and 4 and an unknown timeskip between episodes 2 and 3, and 4 and five).
True. It definitely was concentrated and dispersed into one area mainly(with the shockwave and radiation being just enough to kill off all humans)
This however is false. As I mentioned before, Cabin Fever Labs was the site of the explosion and plenty of drones such as Alice, Beau, Nori herself, Yeva, and 029 survived the explosion just fine at the source(and of course Nori caused the explosion to escape, with even Alice saying “She thought imploding all those folks was pretty slick”). All basic Workers scale to this and even a wounded and sedated Uzi easily bit off Alice’s fingers.
I’ve seen this argument made more times than I can count but I strongly disagree.
There are zero feats besides upscaling that can be properly calced(Uzi’s railgun for example can’t really be calced because it’s not an explosion like people think, it was confirmed by her to be a “magnetically amplified photon converger” which means that it is just weaponizing photons via magnetism(standard sci-fi stuff), and the MD missiles seem to just be incredibly contained explosions like the core collapse). There was also N holding the door open and Uzi bending a microphone but those are very casual feats that don’t really matter much.
The problem is that Uzi being thrown is an incredibly causal feat, and of course I mentioned that the missiles are more compact and seem to be fully concentrated at the epicenter like real world rockets from an RPG for example.
This argument is completely valid. It goes to show that this was made in bad faith given the mocking tone despite them being exactly right. These “outliers” are the only actual feats that can logically be calced. The rest are just blatantly misunderstanding context and science as a whole.
*can’t be calced. A lot of these feats cannot be reliably calced because the only feats are either characters damaging each other or things like explosions which just don’t have much of an AOE.
None of which were strained or resulted in major damage. Either
Honestly I don’t get how people think that this is an explosion. Uzi’s railgun fires by amplifying photons, it just malfunctioned and fired improperly due to missing a part and the recoil(don’t really get why they gave it recoil when it’s confirmed photonic but they do show the recoil numerous times, it’s probably to do with magnetism or science things that I don’t understand) slammed the gun into her forehead hard enough to hurt her.
Calling it an explosion and trying to use an explosion formula for it was never an accurate decision and given that the show blatantly said what it was I’m a little concerned that people even approved of calling it one.
She was hurt but it wasn’t really an explosion so it can’t really be calced that way. We just know that she got hit by the recoil of a gun made out of the same metal as the Workers, which really can’t be calced unless we already assume certain stats for Worker Drones which would make the argument self contradictory.
True but any metal no matter how strong it is can be blocked by a more dense and stable concentration of the same metal. All JCJenson products are just as durable as the Disassembly Drones(even things like pens and forks) “damn the well made quality assured durability of JCJenson products” which shows that they clearly have a wealth of this metal and JCJenson is the one confirmed colonizer of Copped 9 so it’s just a matter of it being the same metal. Worker Drones also very blatantly build more of each other so once again they clearly use that same metal for all of their work, which would mean that any feat related to a form of metal would by default be unusable because the metal as a whole would scale to the large planet level yields.
The doors were never stated to be steel either. I get that steel is the baseline material that is safe to assume an object is made of, but that’s only if the metal doesn’t already have feats of tanking something that steel couldn’t such as the Copper 9 explosion, which means that this argument doesn’t work as it’s being used to counter usage of a feat of surviving an explosion and yet it is reliant on an assumption that disregards the feat to function.
The fact that humans could make the drones in the first place and that they can create things as advanced as Sentinels makes it so that having bunkers this durable isn’t anything particularly notable or shocking.
On accident they created an AI that can be corrupted and turned into a reality warping Eldritch nightmare. One that has destroyed multiple planets in multiple different solar systems bare minimum and is stated to be a threat to the universe. Comparably them using the same metal is very logical.
Overall I’ve raised my issues with this and come to the conclusion that not only is the downgrade unnecessary and that on top of that, the original large planet level yields can be restored to their pages.
I’d also like to address some of his arguments to Psychomaster because I also have a few counter arguments towards some of those.
This is incorrect. They very much do create singularities left and right. Uzi and Cyn both do. The only difference is that Uzi was sedated the first time and the second time Uzi’s arm was cut off, which both canceled it. Uzi actually heavily upscales Cyn’s planet level feat because in episode 5 it was revealed that Uzi managed to override Cyn’s admin status over V and N . All AbsoluteSolver admins(so far the only ones we know so far are Uzi, Nori, and Cyn though) as a whole scale by default anyway because all other admins are supposed to eventually become full puppets of The AbsoluteSolver and destroy the planet they are on, just like what happened to Cyn.
So while we haven’t seen it’s full power, we do see large planet level feats which every admin scales to and Uzi specifically upscales.
They have one actual feat, a bunch of upscaling, and zero anti feats to speak of with a few casual feats that don’t really prove or disprove them. Due to the lack of any anti feats and the existence of an actual feat there isn’t really anything against the scaling.. not to mention the planet destruction in ep 5.
I’d be inclined to agree with this if it wasn’t for Cabin Fever Labs, but inevitably there are drones who survived the explosion as revealed in episode 6 so the AOE fallacy does work, even if Uzi’s colony itself was outside of the radius in a different city.
Also I feel like addressing the gun argument.
This is untrue. Cyn doesn’t feel threatened, she’s annoyed. It’s like when you swipe at a mosquito or a fly that keeps getting close to you. Her expression and tone alone show that she doesn’t feel threatened and in that scene she was just being interrupted constantly mid sentence(in addition to her never showing any form of reaction that would imply she feels threatened, she also blocked things like Tessa throwing the gun as well which 100% wouldn’t have actually done anything) https://imgur.com/a/EeMDHZH.
It is also important to note that again, this is a weapon owned by the Elliot family, you can bet that the bullets would be made with the same sci-fi metal that survived the explosion in the first place given that they buy things from JCJenson(we already know that JCJenson creates things like guns anyway since Cyn was able to give MDs guns when creating them in the first place).
I’ll reiterate for the sake of it that her expressions and attitude alone show that it was more that she was annoyed that Tessa cut her off. She’s never shown to have been threatened by anything once in the episode. And it doesn’t really matter what the revolver is, we already know that it is no real world gun so we can already give a little bit more leeway, especially given that the gun isn’t what matters, but what it fires is. If they use bullets made of the same material(which Occam’s razor points towards).
I’m going to readdress some of the “counter arguments” Arceus used in our debate about this just so that he doesn’t try reusing them if he shows up and to keep other people from using arguments I’ve already refuted.
I don’t particularly like repeating myself too much so posting my rebuttals to these arguments ahead of time will prevent a headache and it will also give you a little list of things already debunked and countered so that if you have any other contentions you can skip to those.
Factually incorrect. It’s shown that humans are less durable than Worker Drones(which isn’t a universal rule as Tessa herself proves), it has not been shown that humans are fragile and are baseline human. I’m not even trying to argue that they are all superhuman because it is fairly clear that Tessa is stronger than the rest, but at the very least if they are even 1/100th as strong as Tessa then suddenly the human skeleton’s surviving would make sense(not that I need to justify such given that I already agreed that Uzi’s colony was far away anyway).
it is owned by the Elliots who explicitly buy from JCJenson, and as I said it isn’t the gun that matters but the bullets. We already know that the drones are that durable(as I’ve proven those in Cabin Fever Labs tanked the explosion) and the company would have to also create guns because Cyn had access to them to create Murder Drones. The evidence is there, it’s the bullets the gun fires that matter and it makes the most sense that it’s the same metal.
Doll wasn’t scared or threatened by the bullet, she knew it wasn’t even going to hit her. She was worried that the AbsoluteSolver would activate on it’s own to stop the bullet, which would expose that she has it. This is the reason Doll took the precaution of having that button eyepatch, because that very thing did happen(in the scene you can even see that the bullet swerves in mid air and even loops mid air because the Solver activated passively) and the button eyepatch covering her eye was the one thing keeping Tessa from seeing the Solver symbol and noticing it.
She however dropped the act anyway in episode 6 because Uzi showed up with V(she wanted to kill V and Uzi is still an enemy of her) which complicated it.
Why would they use a stronger metal for pens and drones then they do for guns? I could maybe see it for the drones, but everything JCJenson makes is unilaterally as durable as them, including their pens.
I wanted to address this response because it is a microcosm of the straws being grasped in many MD debates and how the same arguments continue being countered but the same people keep making those arguments over and over again.
The railgun shots are not explosive. Period. It has never shown any form of AOE, just scattered light that has done no damage. It is canonically stated to be photonic https://imgur.com/a/ZVVifMu, and if it was an explosion then it would make no sense that the teacher amd front desk students weren’t hurt by the explosion and only Uzi and the door she was pointing at were.
This isn’t really an argument that anyone will use(it wasn’t even a punch it was a bite, one that Uzi was very clearly not holding back at all and she was even shown to be capable of biting off the fingers of Alice who is a Worker Drone, despite Uzi being on sedatives already so bad that she could hardly move and couldn’t even properly use any Solver abilities other than regeneration), but the important part is the end there. “Don’t remember the lifting strength feat” i had already explained the Tessa lifting strength feat multiple times in that debate prior which means that they weren’t actually paying attention to the arguments reading and responding blindly, I’m mainly mentioning this just because I find it irritating that my arguments and evidence are being ignored rather than properly addressed. I guess that’s what happens when you debate for Murder Drones not being fodder.
The fall “antifeat” huh? All I have to say is that this is factually wrong because it is out of context. Uzi was “scared” because she had just hurt N and he had to throw her. She was already breaking down due to feeling isolated and alienated by the students and seeing that even Murder Drones fit in more than her, and V prior jad projected her insecurities of V moving on without her directly onto Uzi which made Uzi afraid of N potentially abandoning her.
It is very telling that she not only shows zero fear after 2 seconds of falling(except for when she asks if N is going to leave her which makes it pretty clear what it was that she feared), but that she also never tries to fly or slow her descent. It is very obvious that she was never threatened by the fall. Hell N survived the fall himself without a scratch and Solver Uzi is far physically stronger and more durable than N is.
Can’t wait for someone else to unironically use this argument. The show itself makes fun of such an argument. J literally says “Damn the well made quality assured durability of JCJenson products” which makes it clear that all JCJenson products as a whole are just as durable as the MDs rather than that being an anti feat. That is not debatable and therefore it is absolutely unusable as an anti feat.
False. She blatantly shows fear earlier in the same episode so she very clearly can feel it. Therefore if she wasn’t afraid when Tessa shot at her then she wasn’t threatened by her. https://imgur.com/a/SnGGZ8u
Good thing that Alice, Beau, and 029 survived and they don’t have the AbsoluteSolver
These normal feats themselves are generally either lifting strength(which doesn’t effect AP, DC, or durability to begin with), or completely unusable via issues(such as calling a clear laser an explosion).
We know plenty. We know that admins gain access to the [Null] string which creates black holes and that the AbsoluteSolver selects certain drones as admins who are meant to destroy the planet they are on with the [Null] string. This is common knowledge.
Yes we do. We see a flashback to the singularity just before Earth’s destruction in episode 4. Cyn was just fine while the blackhole started consuming everything around her.
Not if it is confirmed by a statement in the first episode. That’s just called canon. Anyone see why I have such a negative reaction to all arguments I’m debunking here? It’s because I’ve debunked the same arguments over and over and cited a canon statement evidencing my argument and yet all that happens is it gets ignored and then they throw some toxic nonsense.
? We know exactly what went on. They weren’t exactly subtle about it. On one hand I think these are all just repeating and I think I’ve already debunked every single argument they’ve made, but on the other hand they repeat the same things so many times that I guess I can debunk some multiple times.
So a series with two large planet level feats(one that even the weakest characters can tank), an antagonist that is destroying solar systems one planet at a time systematically to root out human civilization, a complete lack of anti feats ghat can’t either be factually debunked or called into series question, isn’t what a strong verse would look like? That doesn’t make sense. However not being tier six is correct because I’ve already proven that the explosion came from Nori escaping Cabin Fever Labs and that there were other drones in Cabin Fever which means that the old large planet level value(which was only lowered to country due to distance values that were already questionable given that Uzi’s colony is not the only one. Now that we know where the explosion really was, we know that certain drones survived within the explosion(and all of them besides Yeva and the Sentinels are normal Workers stat wise given that Beau, Alice, and 029 don’t have the ability to use the AS.
Which isn’t what happens. Most calcs done are either not relevant to AP, DC, and durability(such as lifting strength), or are factually unusable because they are inherently flawed(such as the calc calling the railgun shot an explosion and the lifting strengthen calc for Uzi via resisting Doll’s telekinesis even though that was immunity not strength).
That is exactly why the feats and lack of actual working anti feats is so obvious. It is also why it’s such a big lapse in judgment for the entire forum that people called a shot from a photon converger an explosion.
Ahh yes, “It isn’t as direct as you say.” “It’s stupid that you are arguing something that I can’t debunk and if you argue it then I will run away because I can’t accept any arguments that go against what I myself say”. Good thing there is an MD expert who can actually prove arguments.
The statement that made me decide to make this CRT. The little toxicity overload that made it clear that there was no argument to raise against large planet level MD when I inevitably proved it.
Now the things I want changed is simple: I bare minimum wish to reinstate the country level stats, however by all means the large planet level yields should actually be reinstated. I’m planning a secondary CRT(or can I add to this one after I already post it? Haven’t done a CRT before) about things such as hax and abilities, because for some reason it has been absolutely forever since Uzi’s page has been updated with proper recent information. A full 3 episodes worth that would really change the hax list(after all Uzi has shown telekinesis, regeneration, and matter manipulation months ago so it is strange how they are still listed as “possible”, I also seek to remove “explosion manipulation” and “energy manipulation” because Uzi’s railgun is not energy based nor is it explosive).
Overall this is the premise of my argument: The country level MD downgrade is unnecessary and inaccurate, and that the OG large planet level value should be reinstated based off new information.
It’s late where I live so I’m probably going to sleep soon. If anyone wants to raise arguments or has general questions then I’ll try to respond to them before I fall asleep. If I can’t then I’ll respond next chance I get.
With this I will not only be making arguments to debunk the downgrade but also reinstate the original large planet stats via new information from ep 6.
Now without further ado, I’m going to start with debunking the arguments for the debunk.
1. The explosion came from inside and all the
energy went into the atmosphere.
It was a core explosion, as in, the very center of the planet, and it seemed to explode more so like an erruption, blasting upwards into space, rather than being a constantly expanding erruption. This is supported by the fact that we see a shockwave move the planet's clouds for only a certain extent and then stop.
This actually isn’t the case, the “planet core collapse” in episode 1 was pure deception, it was actually caused by the most mysterious admin, Nori, escaping Cabin Fever Labs which we see in episode 6(). It was never actually an explosion from the core.(for those who need it explained, Alice is talking about Nori leaving the other experiments for dead and says”she thought imploding all them folks was pretty slick” which is very clearly talking about the humans and that lines up with how Nori is an admin and that the lack of humans is what made escape possible. Alice also mentions Nori’s yellow eyes which means that Nori is an admin and was under the control of the AbsoluteSolver with the intent to destroy Copper 9, which makes it clear that Nori was responsible for the explosion. The explosion being the exact same color as the Solvers used by admins and the [Null] string Solver ability is the final nail in the coffin)
I’d also like to add that there were numerous drones in Cabin Fever Labs in episode 6 that survived the explosions and these drones we see are very much shown to not be any stronger or more durable in physical stats in comparison to normal Workers besides Yeva and maybe S if they are in Cabin Fever Labs like I’ve been theorizing.(this would also mean that we have confirmation of drones at the epicenter surviving which means that the original large planet level yield would be valid) I’ll get to this again later.
This also supports the fact that the characters could not have tanked an explosion that didn't reach them in the first place as only the shockwave ever reached them.
Uzi’s colony yes, but there is verbal confirmation in the series of other colonies in each city “with this colony wiped we’ll make top team this quarter for sure”, “I’m kinda the leader of the squad in this city”, there is also those drones in Cabin Fever Labs(in case you don’t know how the explosion we see is episode 1 is from Cabin Fever Labs, I’d like to mention that in the picture of Nori, a Sentinel, Yeva, and a JCJenson employee, the employee is wearing the exact same hazmat uniform and the exact same monitor is shown in episode 6 except damaged and with a second warning in addition to the planet core collapse notice.)
2. In the scene right after in the place where worker drones live (the only known place where they live) we see very well that the buildings are intact and humans skeletons are very much intact as well, despite being outside.
True. They are very much outside the blast radius, as is Uzi’s colony, however they still scale above the experiments shown in episode 6 who were at the epicenter.(though I’d like to mention that we bare minimum know that Tessa is superhuman, she may be the exception to the rule instead of the rule given that she’s more durable than a normal Worker Drone which are by far more durable than humans, but if other humans are even ⅙ as durable as Tessa then that would make it much more believable to begin with[Tessa is more durable than the average Worker Drone as she was able to get bit by Uzi without losing her finger meanwhile a wounded and sedated Uzi was able to bite off Alice’s fingers , plus she’s shown above average strength at least because as a child she was able to lift N and spin him around easily even though her hands were already sore and bruised from her abusive parents chaining her up so much ])
Yep, 6-B humans anyone? I think it is pretty clear that whatever of the explosion reached them managed to kill the humans but clearly not char them or the buildings. Buildings, skeletons, bunkers..
Yeah, Uzi’s colony isn’t near the explosion at all, for reasons I already said I don’t feel like it is a smoking gun argument, but the CRT is correct in this point(though 6B humans also wouldn’t be too out of the question because again, Tessa is an absolute monster in terms of physical stats when compared to even Worker Drones.
Hell, even forests survived. Note, these trees are BIG. They've been here for a while and it hasn't been a while since the explosion happened. WDs didn't live long before the Murder Drones appeared, this happened within a short time-span as N's master from before he became a DD is only just now an adult or a young-adult.
This isn’t important for the scaling either way but since MD lore as a whole comes first to me over debating, I’d like to make a correction. These trees snap the moment Uzi lands on them in episode 4, this means that they are long dead to begin with(most likely from radiation the day of the explosion), and it’s actually been quite a long time since the explosion. We don’t have an exact timeline but Nori had plenty of time to return to the colony, warn Khan to build doors against the Murder Drones(though sadly he didn’t listen till she had already died.), and seemingly had been there for quite some time given the entire room dedicated to Nori’s kooky insane stuff.(also MD is kinda weird about time, for example there is a 9 month timeskip between episodes 3 and 4 and an unknown timeskip between episodes 2 and 3, and 4 and five).
In short, if the explosion with 6-B force hit everything within a planet's radius i think everything would begone, and yet here we are with lakes, buildings and spooky scary skeletons.
True. It definitely was concentrated and dispersed into one area mainly(with the shockwave and radiation being just enough to kill off all humans)
3. There's no evidence that there were WDs anywhere near the explosion that survived
This is simple. All Worker Drones we see live in a city and near the city we see no, you know, pacific ocean-sized burned out crater? Yeah, it is nowhere near the actual explosion site, and there's nothing to suggest that anyone tanked it there.
This however is false. As I mentioned before, Cabin Fever Labs was the site of the explosion and plenty of drones such as Alice, Beau, Nori herself, Yeva, and 029 survived the explosion just fine at the source(and of course Nori caused the explosion to escape, with even Alice saying “She thought imploding all those folks was pretty slick”). All basic Workers scale to this and even a wounded and sedated Uzi easily bit off Alice’s fingers.
4. 6-B is a MASSIVE OUTLIER.
I’ve seen this argument made more times than I can count but I strongly disagree.
There are exactly 0 AP or durability feats that are beyond tier 0 for this verse
There are zero feats besides upscaling that can be properly calced(Uzi’s railgun for example can’t really be calced because it’s not an explosion like people think, it was confirmed by her to be a “magnetically amplified photon converger” which means that it is just weaponizing photons via magnetism(standard sci-fi stuff), and the MD missiles seem to just be incredibly contained explosions like the core collapse). There was also N holding the door open and Uzi bending a microphone but those are very casual feats that don’t really matter much.
All feats are some damage to floors, missiles with small explosions and Uzi getting thrown into the clouds this one time. There is nothing that is even tier 8, much less freaking Country level.
The problem is that Uzi being thrown is an incredibly causal feat, and of course I mentioned that the missiles are more compact and seem to be fully concentrated at the epicenter like real world rockets from an RPG for example.
"But Arceus, verses without many feats can have higher tiers since it is hard to be an outlier in that case! To have an outlier they need to have a lower feat push them to their limit!"
This argument is completely valid. It goes to show that this was made in bad faith given the mocking tone despite them being exactly right. These “outliers” are the only actual feats that can logically be calced. The rest are just blatantly misunderstanding context and science as a whole.
1. It does have feats, they are just lower end tier 9 and uncalculated
*can’t be calced. A lot of these feats cannot be reliably calced because the only feats are either characters damaging each other or things like explosions which just don’t have much of an AOE.
None of which were strained or resulted in major damage. Either
2. Say hello to this. Uzi tanks an explosion and seemingly gets hurt.
Honestly I don’t get how people think that this is an explosion. Uzi’s railgun fires by amplifying photons, it just malfunctioned and fired improperly due to missing a part and the recoil(don’t really get why they gave it recoil when it’s confirmed photonic but they do show the recoil numerous times, it’s probably to do with magnetism or science things that I don’t understand) slammed the gun into her forehead hard enough to hurt her.
Calling it an explosion and trying to use an explosion formula for it was never an accurate decision and given that the show blatantly said what it was I’m a little concerned that people even approved of calling it one.
Here's the calc. It couldn't even properly nuke the bunker door. Now, one could argue that the bandages were a meaningless little thing similar to how drones always imitate humans meaninglessly (admittedly i doubt they need a cold compress) but nevertheless despite being rebellious by nature, Uzi still keeps herself bandaged up for a while which means she probably was hurt to at least some extent.
She was hurt but it wasn’t really an explosion so it can’t really be calced that way. We just know that she got hit by the recoil of a gun made out of the same metal as the Workers, which really can’t be calced unless we already assume certain stats for Worker Drones which would make the argument self contradictory.
5. True final one, the entire point of ep 1 is that DDs cannot and I repeat CANNOT get past the giant metal doors and cannot destroy the facility.
True but any metal no matter how strong it is can be blocked by a more dense and stable concentration of the same metal. All JCJenson products are just as durable as the Disassembly Drones(even things like pens and forks) “damn the well made quality assured durability of JCJenson products” which shows that they clearly have a wealth of this metal and JCJenson is the one confirmed colonizer of Copped 9 so it’s just a matter of it being the same metal. Worker Drones also very blatantly build more of each other so once again they clearly use that same metal for all of their work, which would mean that any feat related to a form of metal would by default be unusable because the metal as a whole would scale to the large planet level yields.
If they were 6-B they could have just sliced through the steel doors, ones that, you know, were never suggested to be some 6-B material and ones that can be welded into, well, doors.
These are also human made bunkers so they've no reason to be made to fight off 6-B threats.
The doors were never stated to be steel either. I get that steel is the baseline material that is safe to assume an object is made of, but that’s only if the metal doesn’t already have feats of tanking something that steel couldn’t such as the Copper 9 explosion, which means that this argument doesn’t work as it’s being used to counter usage of a feat of surviving an explosion and yet it is reliant on an assumption that disregards the feat to function.
The fact that humans could make the drones in the first place and that they can create things as advanced as Sentinels makes it so that having bunkers this durable isn’t anything particularly notable or shocking.
On accident they created an AI that can be corrupted and turned into a reality warping Eldritch nightmare. One that has destroyed multiple planets in multiple different solar systems bare minimum and is stated to be a threat to the universe. Comparably them using the same metal is very logical.
The characters need to be downgraded to 9-A and scaled from that. That is basically all
Overall I’ve raised my issues with this and come to the conclusion that not only is the downgrade unnecessary and that on top of that, the original large planet level yields can be restored to their pages.
I’d also like to address some of his arguments to Psychomaster because I also have a few counter arguments towards some of those.
Absolute Solver shouldn't really count here considering we've never see what it can do at a proper, full power. They don't create singularities left and right, it is a thing that it can technically do. Until someone tanks it face-first this doesn't support much.
This is incorrect. They very much do create singularities left and right. Uzi and Cyn both do. The only difference is that Uzi was sedated the first time and the second time Uzi’s arm was cut off, which both canceled it. Uzi actually heavily upscales Cyn’s planet level feat because in episode 5 it was revealed that Uzi managed to override Cyn’s admin status over V and N . All AbsoluteSolver admins(so far the only ones we know so far are Uzi, Nori, and Cyn though) as a whole scale by default anyway because all other admins are supposed to eventually become full puppets of The AbsoluteSolver and destroy the planet they are on, just like what happened to Cyn.
So while we haven’t seen it’s full power, we do see large planet level feats which every admin scales to and Uzi specifically upscales.
The reason others don't get hurt by anyone other than themselves is because nobody has shown up who isn't them who has tried to hurt them. So far there is literally one human in the whole thing and barely any feats of collapse or material destruction except for the one I calced so we haven't seen any threat like that either.
They have one actual feat, a bunch of upscaling, and zero anti feats to speak of with a few casual feats that don’t really prove or disprove them. Due to the lack of any anti feats and the existence of an actual feat there isn’t really anything against the scaling.. not to mention the planet destruction in ep 5.
AOE fallacy works properly when there is a clear indication that the character is beyond that feat. In this case we've never seen a proper feat beyond tier 9, the 6-B "feat" couldn't even blow up a basic-ass city made of rocks and metal and couldn't even vaporize a skeleton or two. This is a case where AoE fallacy doesn't apply imo because AoE fallacy is basically just a destructive capacity outlier, though imo the 6-B feat is the reverse of that, a feat that is calculably 6-B but doesn't actually show levels of damage near that.
I’d be inclined to agree with this if it wasn’t for Cabin Fever Labs, but inevitably there are drones who survived the explosion as revealed in episode 6 so the AOE fallacy does work, even if Uzi’s colony itself was outside of the radius in a different city.
Also I feel like addressing the gun argument.
Well I am just gonna, y'know, point out another thing where a human lady shot a gun at one of the drones and they deemed it dangerous enough to counter
This is untrue. Cyn doesn’t feel threatened, she’s annoyed. It’s like when you swipe at a mosquito or a fly that keeps getting close to you. Her expression and tone alone show that she doesn’t feel threatened and in that scene she was just being interrupted constantly mid sentence(in addition to her never showing any form of reaction that would imply she feels threatened, she also blocked things like Tessa throwing the gun as well which 100% wouldn’t have actually done anything) https://imgur.com/a/EeMDHZH.
It is also important to note that again, this is a weapon owned by the Elliot family, you can bet that the bullets would be made with the same sci-fi metal that survived the explosion in the first place given that they buy things from JCJenson(we already know that JCJenson creates things like guns anyway since Cyn was able to give MDs guns when creating them in the first place).
It was a basic freaking revolver too. I know that you could argue that she didn't know what that was and had to counter it but I sorta doubt it since they've been learning about human stuff for a while.
I’ll reiterate for the sake of it that her expressions and attitude alone show that it was more that she was annoyed that Tessa cut her off. She’s never shown to have been threatened by anything once in the episode. And it doesn’t really matter what the revolver is, we already know that it is no real world gun so we can already give a little bit more leeway, especially given that the gun isn’t what matters, but what it fires is. If they use bullets made of the same material(which Occam’s razor points towards).
I’m going to readdress some of the “counter arguments” Arceus used in our debate about this just so that he doesn’t try reusing them if he shows up and to keep other people from using arguments I’ve already refuted.
I don’t particularly like repeating myself too much so posting my rebuttals to these arguments ahead of time will prevent a headache and it will also give you a little list of things already debunked and countered so that if you have any other contentions you can skip to those.
The woman being 6-B just because of superhuman showings makes 0 sense. This is a world where science exists at least to some extent. Humans are fragile, they get vaporized in the explosion. Unless we get confirmation that she is part robot or sth there's no evidence to suggest that she is that strong. There's no logical way for her to be that strong in the verse. This isn't a shonen, it is a verse that has shown that humans are naturally weak. Some girl training for a bit isn't making her millions of times above the Tsar Bomb.
Factually incorrect. It’s shown that humans are less durable than Worker Drones(which isn’t a universal rule as Tessa herself proves), it has not been shown that humans are fragile and are baseline human. I’m not even trying to argue that they are all superhuman because it is fairly clear that Tessa is stronger than the rest, but at the very least if they are even 1/100th as strong as Tessa then suddenly the human skeleton’s surviving would make sense(not that I need to justify such given that I already agreed that Uzi’s colony was far away anyway).
The whole thing about the metal is an assumption, a theory. Unless there's good evidence to suggest that the gun is made from that metal, it stays what it is - a revolver.
it is owned by the Elliots who explicitly buy from JCJenson, and as I said it isn’t the gun that matters but the bullets. We already know that the drones are that durable(as I’ve proven those in Cabin Fever Labs tanked the explosion) and the company would have to also create guns because Cyn had access to them to create Murder Drones. The evidence is there, it’s the bullets the gun fires that matter and it makes the most sense that it’s the same metal.
Confused the names, I was talking about Doll
Doll wasn’t scared or threatened by the bullet, she knew it wasn’t even going to hit her. She was worried that the AbsoluteSolver would activate on it’s own to stop the bullet, which would expose that she has it. This is the reason Doll took the precaution of having that button eyepatch, because that very thing did happen(in the scene you can even see that the bullet swerves in mid air and even loops mid air because the Solver activated passively) and the button eyepatch covering her eye was the one thing keeping Tessa from seeing the Solver symbol and noticing it.
She however dropped the act anyway in episode 6 because Uzi showed up with V(she wanted to kill V and Uzi is still an enemy of her) which complicated it.
Doesn't mean they'd use the same metal.
Why would they use a stronger metal for pens and drones then they do for guns? I could maybe see it for the drones, but everything JCJenson makes is unilaterally as durable as them, including their pens.
-Railgun explosion had limited power as seen with it not nuking the door. We don't know how contained it is. Just because it's sci-fi we cannot just assume its AP is above its destructive capacity by default
I wanted to address this response because it is a microcosm of the straws being grasped in many MD debates and how the same arguments continue being countered but the same people keep making those arguments over and over again.
The railgun shots are not explosive. Period. It has never shown any form of AOE, just scattered light that has done no damage. It is canonically stated to be photonic https://imgur.com/a/ZVVifMu, and if it was an explosion then it would make no sense that the teacher amd front desk students weren’t hurt by the explosion and only Uzi and the door she was pointing at were.
In the case that Uzi is 9-A and/or held back the punch it is realistic enough for fiction. 6-B isn't. Don't remember the LS feat.
This isn’t really an argument that anyone will use(it wasn’t even a punch it was a bite, one that Uzi was very clearly not holding back at all and she was even shown to be capable of biting off the fingers of Alice who is a Worker Drone, despite Uzi being on sedatives already so bad that she could hardly move and couldn’t even properly use any Solver abilities other than regeneration), but the important part is the end there. “Don’t remember the lifting strength feat” i had already explained the Tessa lifting strength feat multiple times in that debate prior which means that they weren’t actually paying attention to the arguments reading and responding blindly, I’m mainly mentioning this just because I find it irritating that my arguments and evidence are being ignored rather than properly addressed. I guess that’s what happens when you debate for Murder Drones not being fodder.
Anyways let me remind you that throughout this series we also see that Uzi was scared when she was falling from the clouds (the energy of her falling down from there is tier 9)
The fall “antifeat” huh? All I have to say is that this is factually wrong because it is out of context. Uzi was “scared” because she had just hurt N and he had to throw her. She was already breaking down due to feeling isolated and alienated by the students and seeing that even Murder Drones fit in more than her, and V prior jad projected her insecurities of V moving on without her directly onto Uzi which made Uzi afraid of N potentially abandoning her.
It is very telling that she not only shows zero fear after 2 seconds of falling(except for when she asks if N is going to leave her which makes it pretty clear what it was that she feared), but that she also never tries to fly or slow her descent. It is very obvious that she was never threatened by the fall. Hell N survived the fall himself without a scratch and Solver Uzi is far physically stronger and more durable than N is.
and that at one point a murder drone got pierced by a pen. It was a hard pen but throwing a pen at such speeds and actually hurting a 6-B entity?
Can’t wait for someone else to unironically use this argument. The show itself makes fun of such an argument. J literally says “Damn the well made quality assured durability of JCJenson products” which makes it clear that all JCJenson products as a whole are just as durable as the MDs rather than that being an anti feat. That is not debatable and therefore it is absolutely unusable as an anti feat.
I went to rewatch that scene and the reason she wasn't really scared was that it was literally her type of behaviour. She was completely unphazed and coldblooded throughout her rampage in the mansion.
False. She blatantly shows fear earlier in the same episode so she very clearly can feel it. Therefore if she wasn’t afraid when Tessa shot at her then she wasn’t threatened by her. https://imgur.com/a/SnGGZ8u
Another thing we ought to understand is that Nori has the solver and we already scale people like Cyn to 5-B. A fully developed solver user shouldn't scale to the average Worker Drone, they are literally stated to be mutated
Good thing that Alice, Beau, and 029 survived and they don’t have the AbsoluteSolver
There are only 2 types of feats thus far in the series - lower end tier 9 feats or feats that are calculated to be tier 5.
These normal feats themselves are generally either lifting strength(which doesn’t effect AP, DC, or durability to begin with), or completely unusable via issues(such as calling a clear laser an explosion).
We know that the top tiers of the verse, the mutated drones with the absolute solver, can destroy planets and create giant singularities. Problem is we know NOTHING about them beyond what we've been shown.
We know plenty. We know that admins gain access to the [Null] string which creates black holes and that the AbsoluteSolver selects certain drones as admins who are meant to destroy the planet they are on with the [Null] string. This is common knowledge.
We don't know if Cyn could even attempt to survive what she created,
Yes we do. We see a flashback to the singularity just before Earth’s destruction in episode 4. Cyn was just fine while the blackhole started consuming everything around her.
Stretching every single bit of metal and every weapon and every character to be 6-B makes 0 sense, it is, how they call it here, wank.
Not if it is confirmed by a statement in the first episode. That’s just called canon. Anyone see why I have such a negative reaction to all arguments I’m debunking here? It’s because I’ve debunked the same arguments over and over and cited a canon statement evidencing my argument and yet all that happens is it gets ignored and then they throw some toxic nonsense.
I suggest that you wait until the first season comes out fully and we actually see what went on.
? We know exactly what went on. They weren’t exactly subtle about it. On one hand I think these are all just repeating and I think I’ve already debunked every single argument they’ve made, but on the other hand they repeat the same things so many times that I guess I can debunk some multiple times.
This simply isn't how a tier 6 verse looks like.
So a series with two large planet level feats(one that even the weakest characters can tank), an antagonist that is destroying solar systems one planet at a time systematically to root out human civilization, a complete lack of anti feats ghat can’t either be factually debunked or called into series question, isn’t what a strong verse would look like? That doesn’t make sense. However not being tier six is correct because I’ve already proven that the explosion came from Nori escaping Cabin Fever Labs and that there were other drones in Cabin Fever which means that the old large planet level value(which was only lowered to country due to distance values that were already questionable given that Uzi’s colony is not the only one. Now that we know where the explosion really was, we know that certain drones survived within the explosion(and all of them besides Yeva and the Sentinels are normal Workers stat wise given that Beau, Alice, and 029 don’t have the ability to use the AS.
This isn't a toon where characters can show tier 10-9 feats most of the time but do crazy tier 4-3 feats whenever they feel like it.
Which isn’t what happens. Most calcs done are either not relevant to AP, DC, and durability(such as lifting strength), or are factually unusable because they are inherently flawed(such as the calc calling the railgun shot an explosion and the lifting strengthen calc for Uzi via resisting Doll’s telekinesis even though that was immunity not strength).
It is a series that acknowledges science and uses at least some levels of coherent logic. Making a random human girl 6-B isn't logical at all unless you are in a shonen or JRPG.
That is exactly why the feats and lack of actual working anti feats is so obvious. It is also why it’s such a big lapse in judgment for the entire forum that people called a shot from a photon converger an explosion.
It wasn't as direct of a link as you state and yet again we scale AS drones to 5-B already, if they were in the middle of the explosion while it happened they'd be 5-B in durability and 5-B Worker Drones and 5-B Tessa makes even less sense than 6-B. If you unironically argue for that then i'll just stop discussing this with you right then and there.
Ahh yes, “It isn’t as direct as you say.” “It’s stupid that you are arguing something that I can’t debunk and if you argue it then I will run away because I can’t accept any arguments that go against what I myself say”. Good thing there is an MD expert who can actually prove arguments.
You know what? Screw it all. I am just not gonna respond any further to this. This is ridiculous. If you want to change it back then make a CRT. I ain't gonna waste my time here any longer.
The statement that made me decide to make this CRT. The little toxicity overload that made it clear that there was no argument to raise against large planet level MD when I inevitably proved it.
Now the things I want changed is simple: I bare minimum wish to reinstate the country level stats, however by all means the large planet level yields should actually be reinstated. I’m planning a secondary CRT(or can I add to this one after I already post it? Haven’t done a CRT before) about things such as hax and abilities, because for some reason it has been absolutely forever since Uzi’s page has been updated with proper recent information. A full 3 episodes worth that would really change the hax list(after all Uzi has shown telekinesis, regeneration, and matter manipulation months ago so it is strange how they are still listed as “possible”, I also seek to remove “explosion manipulation” and “energy manipulation” because Uzi’s railgun is not energy based nor is it explosive).
Overall this is the premise of my argument: The country level MD downgrade is unnecessary and inaccurate, and that the OG large planet level value should be reinstated based off new information.
It’s late where I live so I’m probably going to sleep soon. If anyone wants to raise arguments or has general questions then I’ll try to respond to them before I fall asleep. If I can’t then I’ll respond next chance I get.
