I've tried too and also it doesn't work.most of your scans don't work, unless its on my endYog Sothoth (Guns Girl Z)
Yog Sothoth is an Outer God of the franchise Houkai Gakuen 2 or Gun Girls Z. The Outer Gods, deities who reside beyond the space-time of the Universe have infinite wisdom, but due to that fact they also have endless loneliness. Here you can attain anything you want, except while attaining it...vsbattles.fandom.com
I saw this, and if I'm connecting it correctly, it should link to this part in the raw scans:"That? But... what if the God I believe in is Wisdom itself?"
I found it would be better to focus on this topic as supporting evidence for the Tier 0 discussion. Here, "Wisdom" is "智慧" which means deep knowledge and differs from normal "wisdom". And before that in the original raw scan, this explanation appears:“这样吗?但是……如果我相信的神就是智慧本身呢?”
Here the word "泡" means "bubble". According to @Weaver261's explanation, Yog-Sothoth indicates it's her metaphorical device, followed by "无智无得" meaning "devoid of wisdom and attainment". But as seen, "智" here is similar to the form of "智慧" which is specified to be Yog-Sothoth herself (and lexically both translate to 'wisdom'), but these two words are different. This makes me want to see the scan for "Wisdom" as explained here by weaver:"大日之下,混然一泡而出,无智无得,状若琉璃,即现即隐。"
This should be able to expand on Yog-Sothoth being "Wisdom Itself" since as currently explained it's ambiguous and seems insubstantial. If there are feats or statements that can be used for additional explanation, it would be better to include them. (Additionally, if I've made any mistakes, please let me know)In Yog Sothoth case, wisdom = omniscience. Wisdom not as a concept but rather all knowing existence. Wisdom is just an extension from her. It's the same as bubbles as they are showed together.
Well, if that's really everything, honestly I don't quite agree with picking up concepts that just reference external sources in that verse without additional explanation from WoG. (And/or in-verse additional explanation)Yog sothoth existing Wuji is just my theory based on Tao as entry 2 is directly referencing to Tao Te Ching. Entry 2 original chinese text is 道德泡经 meaning "dao de pao jing". Pao, if i'm not mistaken, means bubble. It's just Tao Te Ching but with bubbles. In my previous thread OP, i also cited some Tao Te Ching verses that are almost word to word with entry 2.
See? That's just Tao Te ching with bubbles. But I can understand your concerns. Wuji is the un-manifest aspect of Tao. Taiji is Tao in movement which result in yin and yang. While Wuji is Tao in stillness. The world behind the door is where time and space are not moving. Everything in the cosmo is governed by Yin and Yang. These are the two forces that move the cosmo. Then, it's safe to assume the world behind the door where time and space not moving is Wuji where these two are not moving. Wuji also metaphysically preceed Taiji. It's also stated in her description and entry 5 like "beyond the space-time of universe", "outside of space-time". I hope this clear things up.
智 is almost always used as a synonym for "wisdom" in Mandarin and Archaic Chinese. It correlates to knowledge and intellect under all context.I saw this, and if I'm connecting it correctly, it should link to this part in the raw scans:

Well, I think I've made my point clear enough since the previous post that weaver replied to. I disagree Yog-Sothoth's qualification for Tier 0 (regarding with having "space-time" in the domain of Tier 0).
Thank?智 is almost always used as a synonym for "wisdom" in Mandarin and Archaic Chinese. It correlates to knowledge and intellect under all context.
I think that's a normal thing. (You can provide information from in-verse if you want. At this point, I think it needs trends pointing in, not just from WoG but I also include statements, feats, etc. If there are any.)WoG is often extremely inaccurate and contradictory in the main lore; we do make exceptions for certain author explanations that are specifically from Q&A events, otherwise such practices are often not permitted. Not to mention we even have a rule against asking for WoG out of the blue for powerscaling intents.
It's not about what you think, but how this community and our site treat the practice of using and obtaining WoG (as said before, not permitted). We have guidelines that generally go against the usage of WoG; except for information from Q&A events where we make brief exceptions of, which I've already said before, or if it's scrutinised to be 100 percent accurate which is rarely the case.I think that's a normal thing. (You can provide information from in-verse if you want. At this point, I think it needs trends pointing in, not just from WoG but I also include statements, feats, etc. If there are any.)
Regarding direct information from the author/creator of a character: We do not use statements from them that are phrased in an uncertain, uncaring, and/or unspecific manner, such as "Could be", "Maybe", "Probably", "Possibly" etcetera. Brief or vague answers to fan-questions via social media are also generally disregarded, whereas more elaborate explanations in serious interviews are usually considered more reliable.
Author statements will only be accepted when they clarify what has been shown or implied in the series itself, and will be rejected when they contradict what has been shown to the audience. Statements that technically do not contradict anything shown in the series will still be rejected if there is no evidence that they are accurate.
Do not pester or harass the authors of various works on social media about versus debating or character statistics. They are often bombarded by numerous questions from fans, and thus are rarely interested in giving a serious response. In addition, the statements they give to appease users are often contradictory to the feats in the stories of the works they have written. Thus, it is frowned upon to bother them over these topics.
Honestly, I find it really weird why is this even important in tier 0 part. It's clearly stated in entry 5 that bubbles are something Yog Sothoth likes, that's not what make Yog Sothoth. It comes from her. The same should go for wisdom too as it's listed alongside bubbles in her bio at hobbies list. It's just something she likes, not something that make Yog Sothoth. Yog Sothoth tier 0 comes from transcending descriptions or definitions. Not from wisdom. People see her as wisdom simply because she grants wisdom to them. It is already stated in blasphemous abyss avatar biography that "you may be able to get more wisdom from her". The believer of Yog Sothoth saying "what if the god I believe in is wisdom itself" is followed by that person talking truths which means that person gained wisdom from Yog Sothoth. That's why that person see Yog Sothoth as wisdom. It's even more clear when the same line have "the origin of wisdom" phrase, indicating wisdom comes from somewhere or someone. Wisdom comes from wisdom? C'mon..... it's obvious.Here the word "泡" means "bubble". According to @Weaver261's explanation, Yog-Sothoth indicates it's her metaphorical device, followed by "无智无得" meaning "devoid of wisdom and attainment".

这里是门后的世界,时空都已在此停滞,唯有智慧尚存。
In a place where outside of space-time or beyond space-time is the same as where time and space are frozen in a way. If you go from the place where time and space are moving and go outside of it, it's the same as both not moving anymore becuz you are outside of it. In Yog Sothoth's context, it's stated again and again about how it's "outside of space-time" and "beyond space-time". Then it aligns with this idea. I think it's just flowery word of time and space becoming standstill. There're like other statements of Yog Sothoth's power able to create worlds unconstrained by time and space.This is the world behind the door, where time and space have come to a standstill, and only wisdom remains.
I'm fine with that because it's just expressing my opinion on the rules of the wiki.It's not about what you think, but how this community and our site treat the practice of using and obtaining WoG (as said before, not permitted). We have guidelines that generally go against the usage of WoG; except for information from Q&A events where we make brief exceptions of, which I've already said before, or if it's scrutinised to be 100 percent accurate which is rarely the case.
As for me personally, I'm just outright neutral here; I'm not even sure if the overall thing presented on the OP is actually tier 0 since I don't know anything about tier 0; I only put special surveillance on this thread because on the last discussion, things got outrageously derailed and its my job to prevent it from happening again.
I'm quite sure I never said it was important in the Tier 0 part. I just suggested that you may provide more detaii informations (because what I disagreed with was regarding having "space-time" in the domain of Tier 0) to make it more substantial. Additionally, that was also a request for the feat of this part::Honestly, I find it really weird why is this even important in tier 0 part.

In Yog Sothoth's case, wisdom = omniscience. Wisdom is not a concept but rather an all-knowing existence. Wisdom is just an extension of her. It's the same as bubbles, as they are shown together.
I think you are confused by the way I worded like "wisdom = omniscience. Wisdom is not a concept but rather an all-knowing existence". I'm just trying to say the same thing as I said above. She is not wisdom as a concept like you have seen in other fictions with cosmic entities being conceptual beings that represent something abstract. She is wisdom becuz well that's what she does. She gives wisdom to those who dared enough to seek it. If my wording has confused you, well I am not really good with english. As for wisdom being what she likes, you should check her description scan. I am not really free enough to re upload scans again. Imgur links are broken.I'm fine with that because it's just expressing my opinion on the rules of the wiki.
I'm quite sure I never said it was important in the Tier 0 part. I just suggested that you may provide more detaii informations (because what I disagreed with was regarding having "space-time" in the domain of Tier 0) to make it more substantial. Additionally, I requested the feat for this part:
Yog Sothoth in GGZ is not like Yog Sothoth in Cthullu Mytho but that doesn't mean she can't be tier 0. There's nothing that state her avatars being harmed or influenced by something. You have to prove why her avatars are affected by faith system. Even if her avatars are affected by faith system, that won't still debunk tier 0. I have already gave reasons why it's not possible to get influenced by Faith system. Btw you should also give scan of why bubbles are universes. There's no such statement as far as I know.
You should give scans of whatever you are talking here. I have already said in my OP that you shouldn't make claims without proving any scans. You should give what kind of entity governs everything in multiverse. There's no such statement of Yog Sothoth governing countless universes. That's your assumption based on bubbles. Yog Sothoth transcends description and definition which make up everything. That's why she is Tier 0.
Please provid scans when you want to disagree and read the OP and previous thread in advance. We don't want this to be 11 pages long again.
Still this scan said nothing about bubbles being universes.The reason you couldn't find it is that she would mention these "bubbles" only when we had a certain connection.
Lord of myriad realms and lord of all worlds are translation of the same entity. They both mean someone who is the lord of multiple worlds. You need to prove how LOMR != LOAW. And there's nothing that suggest Lord of all worlds being Yog Sothoth at all. That's just assumption from your part.If you recall the story of Thanatos, there’s a sentence that says:
"The lord of all worlds, who was looking at the universe from the outside, noticed that the universe and the gods she had created were repeating completely meaningless things, and that even time was not passing. Remedying a series of design flaws, the Lord of All Worlds bestowed a basic concept on the operators of the universe. It was death, which means that nothing is eternal."
In this sentence, "the lord of all worlds" is not the same character as the one named Lord of Myriad Gods, but rather Yog-Sothoth, as she is the origin of religion and the one who sowed the seeds that gave rise to the gods while spreading knowledge
There's nothing that suggest Nyarthalotep invaded her world. It only stated how Nyarthalotep tried to trick Yog Sothoth into giving her this world. They are completely different things.Additionally, another Outer God like Nyarlathotep, aside from causing trouble for Babylon, constantly tries to invade and steal Yog-Sothoth's homeworld every day, even without permission. The place behind the door is her home. We don’t even know for sure if the true form of Yog-Sothoth resides behind that door or if it might actually be the true universe she once spoke about.
Scan
Babylon was once connected to saint Freya highschool and the entrance was destroyed after Otto nuked it. That happened in main storyline. Also we are only scaling who are godheads and outer gods. Ares herself once said many of the godheads hidden powers are more terrifying than will of honkai according to the lore. Moreover this thread is just about Yog Sothoth and she has no interaction with other godheads except for outer god Nyarthalotep. I am sure crossover characters and characters from main storyline do not belong to godhead academies.Moreover, Babylon is not limited to deities. It also features characters who have died in the main storyline, such as Kira. I also recall one event where Ling Yi, the creator of GGZ, made an appearance in Babylon. It almost feels like you can encounter nearly everything related to miHoYo's works there, akin to the time-limited events in Honkai Impact 3rd.
She stated herself that what she is holding is an empty universe, which is the same as the bubbles surrounding her. Moreover, her followers can create these bubble universes using the blessings they receive. Therefore, I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be considered a universe.Still this scan said nothing about bubbles being universes.
The storyline in Yog Sothoth’s event specifies that she is the origin of the concepts of religion and gods.Lord of myriad realms and lord of all worlds are translation of the same entity. They both mean someone who is the lord of multiple worlds. You need to prove how LOMR != LOAW. And there's nothing that suggest Lord of all worlds being Yog Sothoth at all. That's just assumption from your part.
What happened about link feat , I don't see anythingThis is a continuation thread from this one
Okay. I know it sounds insane and it really is. But let me cook here a bit.
Gun Girl Z or Houkai Gakuen 2 is the first story canon gacha game of Mihoyo.
In this game, there're Outer gods and "Mythical" godheads. Most Mythical Gods are conceptual beings. All of them exist in ameta fictionalplace called Babylon Academy.Beyond Space and Timegods exist beyond Universe which is used as 宇宙. 宇宙 = Universe term which refers to a structure that contains every canon games Mihoyo ever produced. This term is often used when talking about Imaginary...

The previous thread was a disaster due to absurd amount of derailing with 11 pages for no good reason. This thread is for finalizing Yog Sothoth profile and to publish it. 3 Staffs has already agreed. I will list all arguments of members who don't agree with Tier 0 and debunk them one by one.
Important Note : If you don't have any substantial arguments that are based actual scans, it's highly important not to derail the thread with irrelevant topics.
Some abbreviations we will be using here - Hi3 (Honkai Impact 3rd), GGZ (Guns Girl Z), HG2 (Houkai Gakuen 2 = GGZ), HSR (honkai star rail)
First of all, this thread doesn't need to connect with Hi3 to get tier 0 as it's self sufficient but that doesn't mean GGZ and HI3 are not connected. If you looked at all of my scans for proving that, it's clear developers really consider GGZ and HI3 as parallel worlds inside Honkai Universe. Not to mention the re occuring concepts between two worlds like imaginary space, herrschers, Honkai, stigma, characters and so on.....Imaginary Tree is a theoretical model of the Universe with many worlds. It's not literally a tree. Otto theorized it as a tree in Hi3, Zandar theorized it as a tree in HSR. Although their models are similar, there're still small differences since they aren't the same person and Imaginary Tree is a theoretical model not an universal truth. So, saying GGZ doesn't have imaginary tree is like saying Universe doesn't exist in GGZ which is completely ridiculous. Moreover, GGZ has already showed similar Universe Model to Imaginary Tree although it was never dubbed as Imaginary Tree.
Mihoyo CEO said GGZ and HI3 are parallel worlds branching from the same storyline. Co-CEO of Mihoyo also showed GGZ as part of Honkai Universe. Co-CEO Haoyu Cai also confirmed that they already have this Honkai Universe idea ever since 2014 which means they have planned this all along to be parallel worlds. Moreover, In Hi3 comics, it's confirmed again as GGZ & Hi3 are parallel worldlines. GDC confirmation is not even outdated, it was like at 2021. Da Wei korean interview is from 2017. Da Wei even said "They want to create their own Marvel Universe". Even the parallel worlds model is the same idea as Hi3. In other world storyline in GGZ, it's stated as such here which align with Imaginary Tree model given by Nagamitsu
Also Hoyoverse and Honkai Universe are not the same. Hoyoverse is the company name for Global distribution and that's why GGZ is not part of it since EN server are already shut down. Hoyoverse is for business purpose while Honkai Universe is for lore setting which is meta-universe or their own marvel universe.
Argument - Yog Sothoth isn't tier 0 because she is not stated as the strongest in Babylon and influenced by Faith system
For Yog Sothoth tier 0, In Divine Comedy's kizuna, it's clearly stated she was influenced by Faith power system only after she came to Babylon. And that means those who lives outside of Babylon are not under Faith system. Yog Sothoth should live in School Building K where Cthullu students live but that building was used by Azathoth alone. Yog Sothoth True Self lives in the world behind the door where time and space is not moving. Only her avatar is in contact with Nyarthalotep. It's pretty clear whatever going on in Babylon has nothing to do with her.
Also Babylon is still composed with two fundamental forces, Yin and Yang. Yog Sothoth is nameless Tao itself plus her virtue of transcending definitions and boundries, she transcends everything that is composed of Yin and Yang. Metaphorical door that lead to her realm is stated as origin of all thing. Also those who disagree claimed that Yog Sothoth power can change which is not even confirmed or happened. Outer Gods are not like normal Godheads. They are incompatible with Babylon Academy's spritiual existence (possibly faith). As they are a different type of gods that are much powerful than normal godheads, it's not right to claim Yog Sothoth power can change. Moreover, there's no mention of Outer Gods power being reduced by faith at all while most Godheads in stories always revolve around this idea.
Argument - Chronos is the oldest god thus Yog Sothoth is predated by Chronos and doesn't qualify for Tier 0
Chronos is only stated as the oldest god, not the oldest existence. Meanwhile Yog Sothoth is Tao and by her virtue, she predates eveything in existence.
Yog Sothoth being the Tao predates everything in existence. Chronos's story has no relation to Yog Sothoth or Babylon at all. Chronos is currently at mortal world living among mortals.
- Door that lead to Tao is stated as "origin of all thing" Mind that the door is also a metaphor since it doesn't exist.
- Tao is the essence of all being and outcome
- Yin and Yang are two fundamental forces that govern everything in cosmo
- Babylon also has yin and yang
Conclusion : It's already crystal clear for Yog Sothoth to get Tier 0 and current arguments are nothing more than baseless assumptions with no connection at all. Moreover, there's no staff disagree yet. I will carry over the tally from previous thread but if you changed your mind after seeing everything in new light again, you can change your stance.
Agree : @ActuallySpaceMan42 @Planck69 @DarkDragonMedeus
Neutral : @Ultima_Reality
Disagree :
I've updated the scans for this thread now. I will updated more scans of the profile when I am really free. Also for your above assumption about LOMR = Yog Sothoth, it has nothing to do with current dilemma of updating Yog to Tier 0. We can do this later as this can derail the thread a lot. But I will still have to disagree with LOMR being Yog Sothoth.What happened about link feat , I don't see anything

But i have one last thing to say is you sure you want to use this storyline to confirm it canon? because even though babylon is mentioned in the main story but this is quite a bit goofy for us players we travel with ling yi who is the author of ggz and that connection entrance is easily destroyed by otto i know he is far more powerful than hi3 or even same level at will of honkai but babylon realm clearly on another level if you still want to using this feat then it's ok until official says it not canon but that for future.Still this scan said nothing about bubbles being universes.

Ares herself once said many of the godheads hidden powers are more terrifying than will of honkai according to the lore. Moreover this thread is just about Yog Sothoth and she has no interaction with other godheads except for outer god Nyarthalotep. I am sure crossover characters and characters from main storyline do not belong to godhead academies.
Conclusion: All of this is not debunking tier 0 at all. Also shortage of stories and connection to main storyline has nothing to do with current thread. Yog Sothoth has good feats and enough context to back up her tier 0.
And another thing i disagree about crossover it not just godhead that live in Babylon some crossover characters also live there or travel between world such as Ling Yi, Nina, Kira who dead and reborn at babylon however characters from the main story rarely appear in babylon if they are not part of babylon timeline.I am sure crossover characters and characters from main storyline do not belong to godhead academies.
