At chapter 99, we were shown the existence of spirits and spirit world in OPM. Which Phoenix Man also states the existence of Shamans and talk about their story a little.

At chapter 100, We have also heard about underworld as well, which Phoenix Man summoned the souls of the dead from there to their bodies.

Spirit world's spiritual existence is already guaranteed as it's quite literally called "spirit world" and how it's what shamans use. (How it is to comminucate gods and spirits and stuff). Shamans are based on real life, fully connected to spirituality. Not just that but we know it's spiritual as Phoenix Man summoned the souls of the dead from underworld. Common shamanic belief is that spirit world has three section which underworld is the one of them.

As a soul while inside the spirit world, Phoenix Man says they are 思念體 (thought body) and states he connected their 精神 (mind/spirit). Also talks(Not just talk but showing him in his mind) telepathically to Child Emperor which he says it's because their 精神 (mind/spirit) is connected in spirit world. (Adding raw pages to here)

Not just that but there are other implications in the series as well. Like Psykorochi was going to absorb and fuse people's 精神 (mind/spirit) and become an gigantic 思念體 (thought body). Same as Phoenix Man and Child Emperor.

Also we have a monster with similar situation to what Psykorochi was trying to achieve(He's on a smallar scale though). Evil Eye, after being implanted the eyes of the dead monsters, states that he could hear them and hear their residual thoughts, and could tell their current feelings, that they were enjoying the situation right now. And his psychic ability got stronger thanks to that as well, same with Psykorochi. (It's accepted as multiple selves type 1 and type 2).

Spirit world should be both mental and spiritual space as it is shown to be based on both. And Soul = Mind as it is shown to be.

What exactly are the full list of changes from this to the profiles?
Saitama will get Non-Physical Interaction (Mind).

Willpower page will get resistance BFR (Mind) alongside Soul BFR via capability of escaping Phoenix Space. Also other things like resistance to Soul Corruption and Destruction (Possibly Soul Absorption as well) which was done by Psykos who resisted those via willpower.

Phoenix Man will get Mind Corruption and Mind Manipulation alongside Soul Manipulation, Biological Manipulation and Corruption (Also BFR for Mind alongside Soul)

Psykorochi will get Statistics Amplification through Absorption (Mind) alongside (Biological, Soul, & Energy).

Breaking a wall of the Limiter/overcoming death requires both overloading body and mind/soul. Not sure if it gives resistance but if it does, it will be in willpower section for those who can do it.

Not sure how it works with Mind control. Like Do-S who can control minds with her whip. Though it's more of Empathic Manipulation i guess.

That's all as far as i know.
 
Seems reasonable to me for Saitama, Phoenix Man, and Psykorochi at least.

We probably shouldn't generalize it to anyone with mind-based abilities like Do-S.

What about this? Does it give resistance? Like resistance to "pressure to soul" or to things that overwhelms it etc.
 
Not sure if this helps. But when that one swordsman introduced the monster cells to the council of swordsmen & transformed into a monster, you can see what appears to be the representations of corrupted souls forming. We know monsterification affects mind, so it might affect souls the same way

Nice find
 
Fully agree with this. iirc Garou's ghost(or whatever that was) also shows up in with his cosmic form shell when Saitama time travels, wich means that at least god powered monsterizations/transmutation should also affect the soul.

I'm not sure if it's his soul though.
 
Fear is an emotion, of course it'd affect mind

This kinda proves that monsterification affects the soul as well. Or, hell, the fact that in Phoenix Man's dimension his soul was not that of a normal human (which is his pre-monsterification appearence), but his actual penguin monster soul, which backs up with him affecting CE soul when trying to mosterify him.

I'm not sure if it's his soul though.
Well, it can't be his body because we saw it completely transformed into salt before Saitama time travels, plus it is translucid which is a usual effect for souls in fiction. I doubt it can be something else tbh

Or it's visual could be based on their own biological look (considering it's mind based as well).

His soul can't go back in time by itself. As we know the method of time travel which is matter manipulation. Also there are other things OPM like Ki etc. which is related to body as the cruel dragon's ki was sealed which caused his body to disappear as well.

Tentatively, it looks fine from what I see. I think the biggest piece of evidence is Garou's soul being transformed due to his monster state, which is the biggest indication that monsterification and likely fusion does impact the soul. But this doesn't give every mental ability soul manipulation as a note, only things that impact both the mind and spiritual body.

So like these?

Psykorochi will get Statistics Amplification through Absorption (Mind) alongside (Biological, Soul, & Energy).
 
Those can be added then. (Not sure about things that were talked after that, like monsterification etc.)
