Because that is exactly what happens. You know what Scaling is right?
I'm a bit worried you don't.
Character X has an attack or a weapon that is 5-B. Character Y can survive those attacks, and dish out similar damage by clashing with those attacks or weapons directly. Character Y can harm Character X, and character X survives, because they are durable enough to take it. It is basic scaling logic— which would only be rejected if there is a large amount of viable information to go off of.
Your mistake here is because you think the weapon is 5-B, we don't have anything going for that.
He scaled Sasuke's Sword to Kinshiki, and then Kinshiki to Sasuke, which would have to make sense in order for the physics of that scene to play out—
Astral is the one scaling Kusanagi, Kep is not as Kep is talking about Chidori Blade.
The mistake here is the initial scaling between Kusanagi and Kinishiki. Kinishiki's rating is already a gray area due to his feats being consistently 7-A in striking and durability.
Also, the other mistake is leaving out that Sasuke used Chidori Blade, not just Kusanagi, when he hurt Kinshiki. However, this doesn't even cut Kinshiki, yet the possibly 7-A Chojuro does pierce Kinshiki with his jutsu.
Kusanagi's lone feats this arc would be crossing blades with Kinshiki's blades, but Kinshiki's blades have poor showings too:
Scaling doesn't work, 5-B is not consistent and would be an outlier even.
especially since everyone wants to ignore the fact that Sasuke survives being blown back in the same way a 5-B character does, by the same type of enemy.
You're just ignoring the rebuttals at this point then. Kep and I both repeatedly address this. If you need to reread the discussion, then do so.
People want to ignore the fact that Kinshiki and Momoshiki have to be comparable to Kaguya anyway, especially in H2h, as Naruto in SPSM was throwing 5-B hands with her.
Moving this section up here as well since they are connecting parts.
What is the first thing we know about them? That they are a threat and intimidating from Kaguya's perspective. She needs an army of fodder to help her win against them. But they're only 7-A physically? When Kaguya herself is able to casually brush them aside with her bare hands alone?
They don't have to be comparable to Kaguya, nothing says they are physically comparable to Kaguya.
The only statement was that Kaguya prepared for them and that Sasuke deemed them a potentially greater threat than Kaguya. Which is true because Momoshiki and Kinshiki have Chakra Pills, they are a greater amp than anything in the series. Them making more and ravaging worlds for more make them a greater threat than Kaguya.
Think of it this way. Say you know how to make bombs and are being compared to Conor McGregor.
Conor McGregor has greater speed, AP and durability than you by miles. However, you would be a greater threat due to your ability and potential in making bombs.
That's Momoshiki and Kinshiki, they're a greater threat due to Chakra Pills and passing down power in their family.
In any case... The information you present is not viable. Not only do we know that Sasuke and Naruto should be far beyond the Kage Physically due to their exploits in Part 2,
We know SPSM Naruto and Rinne-Sharingan Sasuke are, but this whole discussion from the very start has been about the physicals of Base Naruto and Sasuke.
Also, the Kage from Part 2 are not the Kage from Boruto except for Gaara.
Also, the entire discussion from the start was not that Base Naruto and Sasuke are equal to the Kage, it's that they are at least above them since they performed better than the Kage.
Again, if you are lost in the discussion then reread it.
but your Saitama comparison is so on point that you actually destroy your "tier 7 is more consistent argument". Since you understand what "At least" is for, and why we have Saitama there even though we know it's likely higher, we DO NOT limit him by his casual showings, like you are.
We limit Saitama's tier by his best showing since we know he's stronger than he is because it's what we can prove, it's why he's High 6-A.
You acknowledge these characters aren't going at their maximum output, and yet you restrict Fused Momo to his casual feats when he has 5-B feats that are not casual because his casual, non-max output feats are more consistent?
I've never restricted Fused Momoshiki to his casual feats, I said that Fused Momoshiki is casually 7-A in striking and would be casually 7-A when he struck Base Naruto since Fused Momoshiki was only utilizing 7-A striking in this scene.
On top of this, Fused Momoshiki, Base Momoshiki and Kinshiki have not one 5-B striking feat.
Fused Momoshiki's only 5-B feats are his durability (taking hits from SPSM Naruto) and the Lava Golem (overpowered Kurama).
Do you know how that sounds, my guy? That's denying a Galaxy Level upgrade for Saitama at max power because his casual feats are more consistent. That's allowing bad writing like "a bullet from a normal hand gun" downgrade him to 9-A, all because an event that was in YOUR opinion "needless for the plot" for him to get shot by 25 people 25 times in the same event— one chapter or two. The whole thing would be 1 big throwaway event. You're probably gonna say "Momoshiki and Kinshiki don't have feats otherwise! So it's not TECHNICALLY an Outlier, so we would have to take it if Saitama only had 1 casual 7-A feat, and was shot multiple times!"
The difference here is we know Saitama is stronger, his lower feats are simply him being casual, we don't know his upper limits.
Base Momoshiki and Kinshiki do display upper limits. Consistent struggles with 7-A characters.
Fused Momoshiki however displays 5-B feats, just not in striking strength as he has not one.
Them being 7-A in striking would also make them slower than her too— since they fought against Kage who aren't Relativistic in any regard beyond doing the dirty work of the writers and presenting the scene with suspense for the SAKE of PLOT. PIS, it is. So, that means Kaguya blitzes Kinshiki and Momoshiki casually.
I agree for Base Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Fused Momoshiki however has displayed relativistic speed feats with SPSM Naruto, Kurama and such.
That makes no sense given what we have in the story. It goes against the first fight we see in the movie or arc of the manga. Please just stop. This is downplay.
Movie isn't canon, this side against the downgrade need to stop using non-canon material.
The first fight of the manga was of Bourto fighting a panda.
However, if you're thinking of Base Sasuke fighting Kinshiki then that fight doesn't support your argument. Kinshiki is consistently 7-A in physicals and Sasuke matches Kinshiki in physicals.
Again, the point of this thread was the OP trying to make Base Sasuke 5-B in physicals, Base Sasuke currently isn't and it's validity is being discussed currently. If it gets accepted, then you can make this argument, but currently it's not.
An outlier doesn't literally have to be an outlier to be called that. You should know by now that this community doesn't always have words that have specific meanings or specific uses, because situations like this happen— where we have consistent feats that don't make sense. We would call it WIS or PIS or CIS depending on what was done, but we still ignore stuff in the plot that doesn't mesh well with the rest, no matter how consistent it is. This community doesn't have hard and fast definitions for outliers because we have to flexible with our use an analysis of it— because shit like 7-A MHS Monoshiki and Kinshiki happens, when we know that doesn't make sense because Kaguya would view them as trash beyond their Jutsu Casting, and that wouldn't be a problem if she just blitzes them normally.
WIS is Writed Induced Stupidity, it's commonly used for comic books where we have multiple authors and some that don't know the character they are writing as much as a previous author, thus that character's showings are bad. It's not applicable to Naruto nor Bourot.
PIS is Plot Induced Stupidity, for when an action, sequence or event must occur for the plot to move forward. Such as Sakura punching Kaguya down, that needed to happen for the plot to advance with Kaguya's defeat. However, PIS is not applicable to Boruto in this entire arc. The plot did not rely on any event except that Momoshiki and Kinshiki are defeated.
CIS is Character Induced Stupidity, for when characters act out of character. Not applicable here at all.
Again, Kinshiki would have to be MHS in order for the scene to make sense with him being ****** up by the Kage. If we're gonna scale strength where it should, we should do the same for speed.
I agree, which is why I brought it up in the first place.
It's not even consistent feats because you're taking all the instances that prove your point from LITERALLY the SAME situation that is being seen by EVERYONE besides you as "Bad Writing"— PIS because the writer needed to make the scene suspenseful and make all the Kage look cool— and WIS because the writer failed to understand how strong these characters are supposed to be and that he didn't need to have the Kage appear as strong as they did for the plot.
They are consistent. The majority of their feats for Base are back to back 7-A feats throughout the entire arc. That is the definition of consistency.
Neither PIS nor WIS is applicable as the plot did not rely on these scenese and there is only one writer who knows their characters. The writer made the physicals of base Momoshiki and Kinshiki at a consistent level since 99% of their feats are 7-A. Only Fused Momoshiki displays consistent majority 5-B feats.
