Ninjago: Replacing/removing author statements

Messages

Hello, this is a thread that will replace justifications that use author statements as they are now banned for Ninjago. Each point is where author statements were used, while sub-points will be new justifications without author statements, and someo of them will have bolded-italized-underlined parts, which are what will be replaced. Nuke means that there is no replacement and the justification/ability/whatever should be deleted (lul).

Will check everything when I have some time, it's really huge so frankly, I think at least cutting it in two would be a bit better and more digest.

  • For Resistance to their own elements, replace with scan-y here.
How is the forced activation of their own power supposed to prove they resist it?

We quite literally see how Electricity is also touching them, so are they also resistant towards that as well?

No, I think the entire contraption is not meant to actually hurt them, since they are supposed to be "bait," whatever that means.

So, no resistance here.

Also, aren't there other ANti-feats for this? That was even acknowledged by the user asking the original WoG?
 
Can you show any evidence that this is an actual resistance and not just a weakness for the Vengestone?

From what I see, the stone doesn't even try to affect it to begin with, so a resistance towards it would be false.

If you can prove that the Crystal at least attempts to absorb power from it, it would be fine.

Not to mention, we see in the same clip the darkness uses the vengestone as a catalyst, meaning it absolutely CAN absorb its power if it wants to.

I mean, it’s used on them. Not feeling strong about it and I have anti-feats in my mind, but eh. My job is to replace here.
Can you show any evidence that this is an actual resistance and not just a weakness for the Vengestone? Again, Immune is when something is completely unaffected by something that affects it, nothing proves that the Vengestone is affecting him in the first place, the same reason as for The Overlord.
It works on Elemental Powers and even Wu’s creation. Overlord and Oni Lloyd resisting it is thus a resistance for him.

Huh? Vengestone was never about absorbing but nullifying. Absorbing is chronosteel.

Then what is this???

I don't see the "it being used on them" when the statement is talking about activating their own powers, so yeah. I don't see how this is evidence for it, even less a primary evidence that is supposed to handle the entirety of the statement "Elemental users resist their own powers", and you confirming that there are anti-feats, makes me hard disagree with it.
 
Eh? Did you read the scans you presented?
Yeah, my revamped scans show that Vengestone nullifies Lloyd’s, Ninja’s and Wu’s powers, while it doesn’t with Oni Lloyd and Overlord. I don’t see the problem here.
I don't see the "it being used on them" when the statement is talking about activating their own powers, so yeah.
It forces the activation of their elements directly on their own bodies.
me hard disagree with it.
OK.

The issue is we don't see it even affecting them to begin with, so you need to prove that the Vengestone is actively power-nulling even the darkness attribute, which is disproven in the same section of the scans. Where we see the darkness element use the Vengestone as a catalyst.

So yeah, it's more a weakness of the Vengestone than a resistance to the darkness element.


It forces the activation of their elements directly on their own bodies.
And? I don't see it being different then them using spinjitsu. And to make things clearer, we ONLY see the power activating around them, nothing more, nothing less.
Not to mention the entire scenario.

What is this contradiction? Vengestone not affecting them is the same reason why we give resistance. If it was affecting them, then it would not be resistance. Is this Schrodinger’s Vengestone or what?
Vengestone not affecting Darkness or Oni power directly proves my point, not yours.
Where we see the darkness element use the Vengestone as a catalyst.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you are talking about Overlord using purple crystal, then it is his own crystal lol.
So yeah, it's more a weakness of the Vengestone than a resistance to the darkness element.
^Headcanon.
And? I don't see it being different then them using spinjitsu.
Spinjitzu is just a tornado around them, not directly on them. False equivalence.

Wait I'm curious. If powernull wasn't shown able to effect your character, it doesn't auto give powernull resistance?

It depends; for it to grant resistance or immunity, it must first be able to affect them in the first place.

For example, if a human is affected by a disease that can only harm dogs, does that grant us a resistance? (no)
If a user is capable of using an ability that doesn't require mana, when a power null specifically nullifies mana, does that grant a resistance or immunity? (no)

What I am trying to say is that for it to be given an "resistance" or "immunity," some kinda proof needs to be presented that they are affected in the first place, so they can actually "resist it."

So, they need to be affected by the power, but the attack can't have any effect on them, or they simply take less damage from it.

If the power has any effect on the character, then he does not resist it. If the power does not have any effect, then he resists it. It’s simple.

Your dogs and humans example is genuinely false equivalence. Our case is some humans being affected by the disease (Ninjas and Wu being affected by Vengestone), while others are not (Oni Lloyd and Overlord).

What you are demanding is simply to show is that the two do not resist Vengestone, they just get affected by it.

Law of non-contradiction exists.

Wu's Elemental Essence cannot affect by Vengestone, shown in TCK fight
 
Acausality (Types 1 & 4; Predates time and reality, therefore being born before and thus being immune to The Cloud Kingdom, which can write the fate of people. Should be same as FSM)
=> I mean, I'm fine with the whole Acausality 1, but why the 4 and, especially, why the whole "being immune to the Cloud Kingdom" ?
Biological Manipulation (1 Layer), Corruption, Mind Manipulation & Morality Manipulation (Both Types [2 Layers]; Can corrupt the souls of others through his Darkness, can use infectious crystals to corrupt the entire city and beings into crystal, and his Crystal Warriors, being powered by and shooting with the infectious crystals, can corrupt the victim and turn that victim evil)
=> Biological Manipulation is fine and obvious, but I feel like the rest is not shown enough in the scene you've given as a justification, is there no longer scene to portray it better?
=> No opinion
=> Can't see half the videos (region-locked) so can't say much.
=> Can't see the last video, but I don't see why the two first scan should give resistance to Darkness Manipulation in the first place.

=> Fair.
=> Change the justification to "different rules" and it's good.
=> Can't see the second video, but you should use this scan too.


=> Fair.
=> Fair.
For Resistance to their own elements, replace with scan-y here.
=> I'm sharing Dark_Soul's opinion on that one, it doesn't really seem like a resistance to their own power.

Morro did not age after about 40 years of being a ghost.
=> With only this much, it seems more like Longevity to me.
=> Not sure if I understand the scenes, so I've no opinion.
=> Fair.
Ghosts' invisibility can be countered by a paranormal essence detector
=> Is the guy really a ghost? If so that's fair.
=> Fair.

=> Bolded part still uses a WoG. I guess the rest is fine. Not sure about the ability itself, tho.
Acausality (Types 1 & 4; Wields the Golden Weapons, which have been shown to be immune to any changes in time, with the wielders being unaffected as well. Was born in the First Realm, therefore being born before and thus being immune to The Cloud Kingdom, which can write the fate of people. Should be immune to the Cloud Kingdom as an Oni)
=> Not sure about acausality 4, rest is fine ig.
Same as Overlord
=> Fair.

Since Jay supposedly called all of friends and allies he knew for his new team, including Elemental Master Skylor whom he knows from only Tournament of Elements, but there are no other Elemental Masters in his team, combining this with the fact that some of Elemental Masters are seen trapped in Nadakhan’s Djinn Blade, Nadakhan supposedly caught all of the Elemental Masters off screen.
=> Acceptable.


=> Fair.

=> Not terribly convinced but eh, I'd say it's fine.
=> Change to "different rules" and that's fine.
=> Fair.
=> Fair.
Replace w/ this.
=> Eh, fair enough.
Replace w/ this.
=> Fair.
=> Don't really understand the justification tbf.
=> Okay-ish.

Phew, long stuff.
 
As far as I know, we don't give resistances in this way, otherwise it would be common for any character that has passive AoE abilities on the wiki to have resistance to their own powers. Unless it is demonstrated that the user's own power can affect the user himself. I know of a case where something like that was removed, but since the wiki doesn't like people citing different verses, bleh.
 
=> I mean, I'm fine with the whole Acausality 1, but why the 4 and, especially, why the whole "being immune to the Cloud Kingdom" ?

Because the Cloud Kingdom can manipulate destiny and shape reality with it (the Wishmaster is Fenwick, one of the monks that worked in the Cloud Kingdom)
=> Biological Manipulation is fine and obvious, but I feel like the rest is not shown enough in the scene you've given as a justification, is there no longer scene to portray it better?
The rest is based on his past abilities from his Dragon Form (since the mind hax combo comes from his element itself)
=> Change the justification to "different rules" and it's good.
We still visually see implications physics works differently as they are walking on clouds🤷‍♂️
=> I'm sharing Dark_Soul's opinion on that one, it doesn't really seem like a resistance to their own power.
1. We see Jay tanking his own lightning and recovring from it pretty fast (He was only pushed back by the explosion)
2. Stated Tox is likely immune to her own poison
3. Kai only being annoyed after being covered in flames from fighting Wyldyfre (an Elemental Master with Heat powers)
4. Lloyd, a Oni, taking an Oni blast without getting erased (Destruction can erase life), which means he resisted it
5. Omega and Garmadon, both Onis, taking a Destruction explosion caused by them clashing togheter, again without getting erased, implying they resisted it too
6. Kai walked throught his own wall of fire to beat up some Stone Warriors
7. Mr Pale is seemingly not affect by his omnidirectional blindness inducement light blast as he sneaks behind Lloyd while he was recovering
8. Overlord is unscathed inside a gigantic bubble composed of his own Darkness Element
9. Crystal Council members amped by the Element of Darkness from Overlord such as Pythor were able to able to hold the Weapons of Destructions (who were also amped by Darkness) without getting zombified on contact (which is what the element do as well as the Weapons)

Its a consistant thing inverse

=> Is the guy really a ghost? If so that's fair.
Yes, he refers to himself as such (And that's how normal ghosts look like in Ninjago)

For the sake of my sanity, I am going to focus on one of these at a time.
Refer to this:
How does this prove he predates time and reality?
Having 'always existed' could also mean (and logically more-so means) existing at the beginning of time, rather than before it.

In fact, a future scan implies he was created AFTER Ninjago and the universe.
Seems fine.
So long as the Balance remains Low Complex Multiverse after all the axing, this is fine.
Sure, but only Nullification.
How is this evidence of resisting their own powers?

He is older than the Oni and Dragons who preceded the 16 realms.
 
Scan, please.
Past Overlord: Destruction comes from conflict, from the eternal struggle between light and dark. I will end that struggle. If you serve me, I will destroy the Balance and end the conflict once and for all. There will be peace in the dark.
Destruction is Oni in context, and the source of Destruction is light and dark/Overlord, which means he preceded 16 realms.
Note; Oni are have been around since the beginning of the first realm who preceded 16 realms.

Well we're arguing for Acausality here via him predating time and space, which I blatantly do not see.

It said that the time has begun with the beginning of the 16 Realms.

"Before time had a name."
(Paraphrasing): "Scholars aren't sure if Time began with the realms or before them, but these people manipulated it."

I don't see any solid proof the Overlord existed before time as a concept, and in fact it's seemingly implied it existed before the 16 realms too.
 
Acausality (Types 1 & 4; Predates time and reality, therefore being born before and thus being immune to The Cloud Kingdom, which can write the fate of people. Should be same as FSM)
I really don't see why existing prior to fate manipulators like The Writers of Destiny in the Cloud Kingdom gives him Acausality type 4 and resistance to fate hax. (also You should specify in this case that the acausality will give resistance to fate manipulation since acau type 4 no longer gives abilities on its own)
I don't see how this grants resistance.
This should be Intangibility.
Isn't this more so his attack being painful than pain manipulation?
My problem with this is that you have to prove that FSM's world lacks space and time which we don't have proof of. Simply being considered separate from the 16 realms doesn't automatically make it lack space and time since we already treat each realm as having its own space-time. Also even then you have to prove that FSM completely lacks Spatio-temporal features
So long as the Balance remains Low Complex Multiverse after all the axing, this is fine.
Do we treat being an abstract being over a concept that spans a Low 1-C range as a durability feat?

And regarding the elemental masters, resistance to their respective element, I will address that in a different reply.

Other than that everything else should be fine.
