Time for another Rakudai revision these are mostly from the last released chapter with a few corrections along the way. Though on the first few points im not really expecting any debate as they are just facts
Ikki's Multiplier
Now as it was (iirc) agreed in the other thread for Ikki's multiplier to change from:
Ittou Shura: 48x
Rasetsu: 500x
To:
Ittou Shura: At least 10x, likely far higher
Rasetsu: At least 200x, likely far higher
This comes because 2 different sources use 2 different terms for the things. So we just stuck with the lower of the 2 as lowball and the higher as a highball (the highballs would be the previous multipliers). Though this is just for "profile purposes", so it doesn't matter all that much.
What does matter is the next point
Ikki's Attack Potency
This....is my fault. Due to my mistake Ikki is currently scaled from Stella Vermillio in terms of AP, and that is incorrect. Just a normal example scaling chain so you understand why he scales so massively below he...doesn't scale at all:
Dragon Spirit Stella Vermillio > absolutely stomped effortlessly > Ouma Kurogane > who absolutely stomped effortlessly > Renji Kaga > Who is so much stronger than Ikki, ikki had to use his skill to match his strength
So Ikki has a scaling chain of 3 massive stomps and his massive skill in play (said skill was actually capable of making him block Stella's attacks the same way), which makes the scaling basically non existent. I realized this after a re-read of the scenes.
So instead Ikki should be scaled from his previous arc as there are no better feats.
Ikki and Stella's new abilities
Desperado Hax
Oh boi. Here we go. The newest chapter gave a LOT of context on Desperados in general, what they can do and how their powers work. And there is a LOT to cover. So before going onto the powers we got context on how they are "activated". They work on "bloodlust". If a desperado shows bloodlust then the hax will kick in, if they don't, they can still use some hax, not all of them though. This is why for some desperados like Edelweiss, Nasseem and Or Gaule the fear hax is passive, whereas for others like Ikki and Nene it is not. Because, the former normally have a bloodlusted mindset, whereas pacifists like Ikki and Nene do not share this trait. Now onto the additions:
1.Fear Hax affects the soul. This was stated before, but i dismissed it as flowery writing because the line was "his soul was shrieking" which is usually flowery writing however in the new chapter it was explained:
6. They have apparently a stronger "gravitaional pull of causality and end". Which basically means their fate is stronger than normal fate hax because it's coming from a being who has transcended causality.

Ikki and Stella's new abilities
- Ikki's Durability Negation (likely Limited). Although he can damage people like Stella or Ouma, he does not do this through AP but rather through limited Durability negation which comes from slashing. Due to the fact that his weapon is a katana which cuts, it is far easier for him to damage people way beyond his own AP paygrade. And if a feat or explanation is needed then here is Ikki calling cutting a metal pipe with a piece of paper a piece of cake once he masters Edelweiss' sword technique (which he does)
- This training is to let my body make precise movements for the sake of not causing any loss or deviation. If I am able to use Edelweiss's sword technique, using paper to cut metal will be a piece of cake. Just......that alone is not enough. No matter how accurately I move my body, if I don't read the changes in the external factors and correspond to them, a loss will still happen as a result. That's why......
- Precognition for Stella. Similar to Ikki, in the latest volume she saw visions of her own death.
- But, one step. Just one step she gave towards Edelweiss, ――In an instant, A strong and blizzard-like cold intuition struck Stella's brain, and she saw it. The inevitability of a tenth of a second in which her limbs and neck were vigorously cut off.
*Edelweiss' Accelerated Development. In the latest volume Edelweiss states that she grows at speeds far exceeding even Ikki or Stella (who as stated during the SSSAF arc developed several decades in an instant).
**― No. At that time, I went with all my strength. … But when you say that I feel like a higher wall than before, it is because I have gotten far stronger in comparison to the speed at which you develop.
- But, one step. Just one step she gave towards Edelweiss, ――In an instant, A strong and blizzard-like cold intuition struck Stella's brain, and she saw it. The inevitability of a tenth of a second in which her limbs and neck were vigorously cut off.
- Edelweiss' Information Analysis and Resistance to Information Analysis. Stella who could read the information of other people couldn't do such a thing to Edelweiss even though she tried. From the wording, it seems that not even Ikki could read Edelweiss' info.
- What surprised her more than anything was that her center of gravity, from that look of hers, couldn't be read where it was. She read all the information of the other party at a glance and absolutely no information was given to the other party.
- Edelweiss >> Ikki skill wise. Stella stated that while Ikki's lack of gaps was impressive, Edelweiss' natural stance was on another level.
- The lack of gaps of Ikki was pretty significant, but her appearance was beyond his. She had never seen a natural stance so complete like this.
Desperado Hax
Oh boi. Here we go. The newest chapter gave a LOT of context on Desperados in general, what they can do and how their powers work. And there is a LOT to cover. So before going onto the powers we got context on how they are "activated". They work on "bloodlust".

Because, the former normally have a bloodlusted mindset, whereas pacifists like Ikki and Nene do not share this trait. Now onto the additions:
1.Fear Hax affects the soul. This was stated before, but i dismissed it as flowery writing because the line was "his soul was shrieking" which is usually flowery writing however in the new chapter it was explained:
- ― There are no walls here. You just aren't moving voluntarily. ― It's me, you say? ― Your soul understands the meaning of moving even further, and it's being intimidated by it.
- In the past, a young samurai stood before her in the, blocking her way for his dearest little sister, he frenetically tried to control his body and heart that tried to ran away, trembling in fear while knowing that he would die if he opposed her.
- The words of Saikyou Nene. Nene's words tied to her when she tried to charge at《Haboob》. An invisible pressure. That was also the result of her『intention』being swallowed deeply by her causality.
- There is an isolated difference in true strength between you and me. If we were to face each other, the end of it would be clear, that is something that you yourself understand. You end up understanding deep down yourself that you can't win against me.
- Since the result is completely decided with all that, and your fate in that case, then there is no need to go through that process anymore. Stella had stepped straight into her fate of death
- As long as you feel their fate, you will not have the chance to escape. You will keep being attracted by the gravitational pull of the《Desperados》and their fate will lead you to the end of what you also have imagined.
6. They have apparently a stronger "gravitaional pull of causality and end". Which basically means their fate is stronger than normal fate hax because it's coming from a being who has transcended causality.
- I strongly have the『intention』to hurt you a little, the gravitational pull of my fate swallows you, and the causality are… tied together in the way and shape they should be.
- As the distance between the two decreased, the gravitational pull of《Wings Abreast》tied to causality and end didn't seem to sway.
- Stella surpassed the will to try challenging Edelweiss, and therefore, this situation developed. It was for this reason that it only worked on Stella as she had taken the decision to face Edelweiss in this place.
- ― This self-direction regarding causality is a special characteristic that not only I or the《Desperado》own, but that everyone owns. You should have felt it when you confronted《Marionette King》, 《Haboob》 and the others, haven't you? It is on their backs, the fate called their death. As long as you feel their fate, you will not have the chance to escape. You will keep being attracted by the gravitational pull of the《Desperados》and their fate will lead you to the end of what you also have imagined. The beings that overcome this, and that transcended causality like me――are no other than 《Desperados》.
