Proposal to revise Nomu's durability

[Hagane_no_Saiyajin]

Considering how Nomu's Shock Absorption works, there's nothing contradicted in saying that it also allows Nomu to take the recoil of his punches, and there's also the fact that Nomu was given Shock Absorption in order to withstand All Might's attacks.

This is the durability I propose for:

Durability: Up to Country level with Shock Absorption (Allows Nomu to withstand the recoil of his own punches. Was made to endure everything in All Might's arsenal. All Might stated that it would’ve taken five punches in his prime to blow Nomu away)

MHA MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD Alright, so just like the Navel Laser, one of the most hotly debated MHA subjects needs to be put to bed officially. All Might’s over 300 punches against the USJ Nomu. This feat is quite infamous so I feel it needs no reintroduction, but I’m going to lay it down...

We don't treat the Nomu's durability like a defense buff we treat it more like a shield

But really, that's all that the Nomu's durability is, a shield. It really does not matter what the Nomu's "base durability" is because its Shock Absorption simply allows it to absorb the recoil of its own attacks and take attacks from All Might, that's the whole purpose of the Shock Absorption in the first place.

I disagree, when Nomu was attacking Aizawa, he had all his Quirks nullified by him, yet the Nomu, with just his base strength alone, was stated to be as powerful as All Might.

Also when the Nomu had his Shock Absorption depleted, it's not like All Might punch instantly killed him or anything, it just broke off his teeth, and this was an All Might that was already going Plus Ultra.

So Nomu's base durability, without even Shock Absorption, has grounds to be scaling from All Might's, and should be reflected on his profile like the way it is now.

Could some scans be provided?

Yup, Nomu's base strength alone is as powerful as All Might's, it's not affected by the recoil of using such strength without shock absorption active.

All Might final punch after breaking through Shock Absorption was only strong enough to break off a few of the Nomu's teeth.

It's also said that his regeneration could not keep up, implying that All Might was already harming the Nomu before this.

Would you say that it is still fair to say "Up to Country level with Shock Absorption" though? It is still the upper limit to how much Nomu's quirk can take, and we do see it being used to have Nomu take his own attacks and All Might's attack which were below 6-B
