I swear I'm fighting pointless endeavors atp but idc.
I'm only going to just reply to this cause it's pretty much the same as the others.
Enel was known to be "a god" to a bunch of tier 7s. Only reason why we don't have him at higher tiers is because the wiki is goober central.
Enel was stated to have the possibility to have
a bounty of the same as Ace if he touched the Blue Sea (who scales to Whitebeard) because of how troublesome his power is, and that the only reason they survived is cause Luffy's devil fruit pulled through. Enel isn't important. The large sum of his bounty would've been pointed towards his power, throwing him on the upper echelons of power.
"Other people have far higher bounties" yonko commanders and yonko who have status there as well. Ace got a 100m bounty just for his heritage.
Enel is stated by the new magazine to have
one of the most powerful devil fruits, even among logias, scaling him at least relative to the other 6 logias who would scale to Whitebeard.
Enel is stated to have
one of the few "invincible" devil fruits. At that point the Straw Hats have seen 3 other logias (one of them scaling to WB), and Robin was in an organization with one of them. Never said that before.
Enel has well established scaling and feats prior to that, like "being omnipotent compared to a handful of fodder tier 7s" and "one shotting every tier 7 character that comes his way", or "utilizing focused attacks to kill only specific people being calced".
On top of that, this is not a calculation of Enel. This is a calculation of the durability of the tools the Space Pirates used for their feats. Enel just scales to that. Several times.
"I think you can make a case that Enel jumping from tier 7 to tier 5 randomly could be potentially narrative breaking when prodigies like Luffy are going from like City level to Mountain/Island level in 2 years"
Luffy went from mountain to damn near multi cont in a week. This is nothing.
And the gap between tiers is not a counter for growth as it just depends on whatever our damn fancalcs mark it as. One day it could be "city to moon", next day it can be "large mountain to country".
What you said is just saying "We mark Enel at small city for scaling above a bunch of fodder. I think him scaling to higher end feats is an outlier."
That's the same shit as before when we had Whitebeard at mountain level for scaling above the likes of goofballs like Perospero, or Mihawk at mountain for scaling above Cracker.
