Not exactly, that is because by default wiki assumption is if it's called "a universe" and stated/shown to have "space-time dimensions" it's automatically low 2-C.

It simply becomes artistic representation

also there is high 3-A galaxies in G
Okay thats fair.

The second logic question is, when you enter each universe, do they have other universes/nebulas/galaxies in them? And does each universe have their main nebula which contains stars and planets?

I guess where I am coming from is that, if they travel to other universes vis the nebulas, and then there are more nebulas in side them, where is the actual physical universe? Otherwise it sounds like an endless russian egg with no actual matter in them.

They are all actual physical universes. I guess that Russian egg analogy works

Wouldn't the Russian egg be an infinite recursion?

The "main overaching" universe in SS does exist it does have a special name for it.

But uuhhh... both Sho and ND answer those questions with both yes. There does exist real galaxies as we know them. Actually recently, they got erased in GR. But also, Shiryu legit fall into another galaxy and it was an alternate reality.

But I am oversimplifing this due to irl stuff atm
 
I have to do if you speak Japanese? Almost every Japanese person I’ve had look at the scan say the same thing and it’s not what you’re saying.
You can look that information up on any Japanese dictionary with example sentences used in real life to verify that information.

It would be interesting to see their reasoning for that, because I asked some Japanese users too, and was told it's worded exactly that way, though that depending on context, the phrase "have the same universe" could be taken either way between identical different universes (like when someone says two individuals have the same face or something like that) or that, which well, no shit. In any case, by no means is it worded as saying "within the same universe" like you're saying.

The context here
<Run of the mill alternate universe plot
<Shura's talking about how the future at some point down the line of the world he came differs from that of his world (hence the concept of an identical universe with a different future)
<The series uses universe in the most standard way possible
<Parallel worlds are by definition and nature are different universes by default

Yeah, it seems clear to me it's a lot more sound to take this for what it is, which is that parallel worlds are similar but different universes, as opposed to some really weird interpretation like "actually this just means literal different universes by every metric and standard are considered the same universe" that also goes against how universe is clearly used by the entire series.
Before I get into the other scans, I'll break down what I've read for Saint Seiya: Next Dimension Chapter 19 first.
As shown in the first scan, the chapter makes a text distinction between "Nebula" and "Universe."

With regard to this supposed universe inside a nebula, this is not in the literal sense. According to the chapter, Athena is at Chronos' Door of Time. Chronus is the one who causes these nebulas in his space to approach him. Athena wants to go back 200 years into the past and visits Chronos to do this. Chronos is the god of time. In Chronos' domain, it makes sense that he can make his personal nebulas act as time portals. If any nebula in the universe could take you to another timeline/universe, this time/dimensional travel would have been common knowledge.

There is also no justification that the destination of these portal nebulae is infinitesimally smaller than where they started. There is no qualitative superiority in this instance. If they are meant to be parallel worlds, they can't be infinitely smaller or larger than each other.
Right, these nebulas are just portals for time travel, not literal universes.

The people who checked it literally say the same universe… which agrees with my experience with this translation and Okada’s later treatment of the universe

I don't know what experience you had, the most direct raw translation would be "have the same universe", which is a reference to having identical universes (as the word used often means), such as saying two people have the same face or something like that. If you read the thread I sent, they literally say it could be either and that it depends on the context, which I gave several reasons as to why same universe in the sense of identical universes makes much more sense. Using "have the same" instead of "within the same" completely changes the meaning.

Literally, if you just research the word used 同一 in Japanese dictionaries or users explaining it, it's confirmed it often means sameness in the sense of being identical.

https://jisho.org/search/同一
1. identical; same; one and the same; equal

https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/同一
same, identical, superposable, like, same, same, identical, indistinguishable, same, selfsame
 
And once you realise Okada only ever uses the term universe to represent a section of the cosmology that holds parallel timelines from that scan onwards, the interpretation it is what the OP is claiming makes far more sense (in this specific regard).

not to mention your interpretation renders more than half the dialogue redundant in that there would be no need to separate parallel worlds from universe linguistically.

No he doesn't, and the only way one can even come to a conclusion like that is through hoops of circular reasoning and confirmation bias. A universe means a universe. This is literally Saint Seiya which sticks to that more than most other series.

No it doesn't, Shura isn't separating parallel worlds and similar universes, his dialogue starts as describing observation of a seemingly identical world to his world but with a different future down the line (he literally distinguishes this specifically), which he simply describes as identical universes that lead to different futures, and then sticks the label parallel world on this phenomenon. "Worlds with identical universes that have different futures= parallel worlds."

What especially doesn't make sense with this interpretation is that Shura and Shiryu who're doing this speculating still weren't even properly aware of the existence of other worlds in that scene (literally the first time Shiryu was told such a thing exists) to use universe in that sense. It doesn't make sense for Shura to tell Shiryu "there may be worlds that have the same universe" in an attempt to convey what's the idea of fundamentally different universes by every metric when Shiryu understands "universe" in the most traditional sense. Maybe if Shura dialogue was instead completely redefining what "universe" as a term means in-verse as you're trying to do, but that's not it.

Nice use of emotive language, but you're incorrect. Universe doesn't mean universe as far as a standard universe is concerned, Okada makes this very clear with his language. There's no circular reasoning, feel free to layout the logic for me, prove to me and everyone that it is circular outside your disbelief.

"Worlds with identical universes that have different futures= parallel worlds."
Yes it does, basic reading comprehension skills would allow one to realize the mere differentiation between the terms "parallel worlds" and "universe" would be indicative they're not the same thing, and this is consistent throughout all of GA and GR.

later on he's proven right...

So thanks for leaving out such an important piece of information in your attempt to sway peoples opinions.

I won't argue in circles with you over this, your own Reddit translators side with my side and at worst say it could mean either, and at that point my side is further consistent with how the universe is treated and described later on.

No he doesn't. I've already proven my case through the scene with Shiryu and Shura, or you know, the entire run of the series, and you've hit it with a "trust me bro he uses it this way later" without actually explaining how and where, I just know know that whatever that gets cited won't amount to more than that.
Yes it does, basic reading comprehension skills would allow one to realize the mere differentiation between the terms "parallel worlds" and "universe" would be indicative they're not the same thing, and this is consistent throughout all of GA and GR.
Except he's not differentiating anything in the first place, he tacks the "parallel world" label to the "identical universe that lead to a different future" observation he's made.

Way to completely miss the point and say something irrelevant to try and poison the well for the umpteenth time, not my problem shit keeps going over your head. The issue is what "universe" is understood to be at that point by the characters conversing and the series they're in, and how they're using it.

Saying that it could mean either and making a self admitted guess while admitting to not have a grasp on the context is not taking your side. And no it's not, universe was never redefined in such a way, not even in the scene with Shiryu and Shura do they talk as though they're redefining anything for that to work.

Which you've painfully misinterpreted, your own translators don't even support your interpretation.

The term universe is utterly redundant in this interpretation, however, Okada distinguishes the two terms and never in the history of G from this scan on are "universes" and "parallel worlds"/"dimensions" ever used interchangeably with the "universe" always being treated as a larger object either literally or in ambition as pertaining to a characters goal(s).

so I've noticed you've called my side out for using "circular logic" and yet, when asked for you layout the logic path and demonstrate its circular you just repeated your last 3 comments with extra word salad. Prove we're using circular logic.

In actuality, you don't have an argument, you have incredulity and a linguistically inconsistent interpretation of what is actually a very simple statement.

They don't support or go against any interpretation, just a neutral confirmation that it could be either or, already discernible from the Japanese dictionaries that cover this word.

Saint Seiya.
in the blog
Which part? The only other relevant information there is about some stuff in Next Dimension, which has already been addressed above as simply being time travel portals.
Athena was stated to be "Coming from a far away spacetime."[10] We also learned in the far more recent chapter, far later into the story, that the Timeline of "The Past," "The Present," and "The Future" are different timelines.[13] In that same panel/page, it is also mentioned that Athena is "traversing time and space."[13] She is crossing one timeline (Spacetime continuum) into another Timeline (Spacetime Continuum). This sentence implies that there is a higher dimensional spatial and temporal axis that encompasses the multiverse thus implying the structure of "The Universe" without stating it.
[10] says that she's coming from across space-time, in reference to her time travelling to the past.
[13] 時間軸 means timeline in the sense of a time axis (if you look this phrase up, time axis is what it tends to come up). And the context of this is time being dilated between past present future (some contrived plot device to raise the stakes), not that they're literally different timelines.

The nebulae in Chronos Lake that Saori sees are different parts of the timeline (hence the entire plot of changing the past to change the present), hence why they even make up past present future together, which wouldn't be the case if they were somehow their own timelines.

Speaking of the structure of "the universe" in Kurumada's work, this was literally explained in Chapter 1.
375cec8c92f8ea163ec86c8ebf061d7b.png

Extremely self explanatory. The universe was created from an explosion of condensed matter. This is the most standard, traditional usage of universe ever, as is the case in pretty much all fiction.
The term universe is utterly redundant in this interpretation, however, Okada distinguishes the two terms and never in the history of G from this scan on are "universes" and "parallel worlds"/"dimensions" ever used interchangeably with the "universe" always being treated as a larger object either literally or in ambition as pertaining to a characters goal(s).
Universe here was in reference to the makeup of the world (context is Shura noticing his world and the world he came are similar while having different futures at some point), and parallel world is used to define similar worlds that end up with different futures.

Okada has even acknowledged a universe, a world, and the multiverse, as their own things.
7cfa4ddce2c144baaecc20577375c8e9.jpg

Notice how world>universe (the world is the timeline, the universe seems to be what makes it up), and world on its own is still very blatantly in reference to singular timelines in these scene, or in other words, singular universes. Dang, universe means universe after all.

And on the topic of redundancy, what's truly redundant is the notion that "the universe" refers to the multiverse, yet distinguishing them like this in a scene like this with multiverse being >universe (yes, it says Multiverse singular here and there's no case for plural ambiguity, as Okada actually took the trouble to spell out マルチバース the English word Multiverse in katakana). Or equally redundant is the notion that "worlds" exists as a subset of the "universe" within it, in light of the above scene where it's not only distinguished, but listed as a step up as the scale escalates from universe-->world-->multiverse.

At any rate, this is how Shura's dialogue reads verbatim:

"There isn't necessarily only one world. There may also be worlds that have the same universe but lead into different futures---- a different parallel world." There isn't a distinction being made, this is him labelling it a parallel world.
so I've noticed you've called my side out for using "circular logic" and yet, when asked for you layout the logic path and demonstrate its circular you just repeated your last 3 comments with extra word salad. Prove we're using circular logic.

In actuality, you don't have an argument, you have incredulity and a linguistically inconsistent interpretation of what is actually a very simple statement.
What exactly am I supposed to lay out when your "point" literally has no sort of elaboration or citation? I literally just said above whatever gets cited won't amount to more than that, because there is no scene that indicates "universe" refers to anything more than what the word means, it's really not that complicated. As for the points in the blog, they were mostly misinterpretations stemming from left out context.

No, I've pointed out multiple tangible contextual contradictions to such an interpretation which aren't being properly addressed at all. What's actually simple is the fact that universe means universe, has always meant universe, and has never been redefined to somehow not mean universe.

The multiverse defined by Dohko is a structure made up of universes and worlds. Shura and Brontes tell us the make up of those 2 lesser structures, that in and of themselves form multiverses.

Your logic in this regard is no different to saying U7 can't be a 2-C structure IT'S A UNIVERSE...

Notice how world>universe (the world is the timeline, the universe seems to be what makes it up), and world on its own is still very blatantly in reference to singular timelines in these scene, or in other words, singular universes.
contradicted in GR and every other mention of dimension and world in G, not that Dohko's statement alone proves worlds > universes.



GR straight up calls universes "multi-dimensional" and uses the terms dimension and world interchangeably.

With the Shura statement in GA being not in favor of either interpretation, GR flat out confirms my interpretation.

Not to mention it does NOT say Multiverse, multiverse is a different kanji.

多次元宇宙 =/= 多元宇宙

G very much defines it's universes as multi dimensional (timelines) objects.

It's very clear there exists a multiverse that is in and of itself a collection of unknown amount of "universes" with each universe being it's own 2-B/2-A structure.

Speaking of the structure of "the universe" in Kurumada's work, this was literally explained in Chapter 1.
contradicted again, the Primordials created all the atoms, not the Big Bang. Marin is not more reliable than Uranus.


"There isn't necessarily only one world. There may also be worlds that have the same universe but lead into different futures---- a different parallel world." There isn't a distinction being made, this is him labelling it a parallel world.
except, it is and GR proves it by calling the universe "multi-dimensional" (I want to point out there contextual use of dimension within the manga is very consistently "timeline", not spatial dimensions at all if that wasn't clear).

Where is "there may" coming from? I can't in any way find any indication based on the kanji you yourself provided have any indication of hesitance. Ithink you're the one who's fallen victim to confirmation bias...

No, I've pointed out multiple tangible contextual contradictions to such an interpretation
no you haven't, in-fact, you've flat out ignored most context, added you own words to translations that goes beyond "naturalizing the sentence" and straight up changing the whole tone and verbiage of the statement.

What's actually simple is the fact that universe means universe, has always meant universe, and has never been redefined to somehow not mean universe.
Only when you come up with interpretations contradicted by the manga.

And don't say
hoops of circular reasoning and confirmation bias.
when you can't in anyway show or prove either.
 
Bottom line is that these universes are parallel to each other, not infinitely superior/inferior to one another.
I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure where the whole "galaxies are universes" thing comes from

hence why I'm solely focusing on the other side of the blog with the "universes hold timelines", kind of like how Ben 10 universes are currently treated (or were treated, I don't keep up to date with Ben 10)
 
[
Bottom line is that these universes are parallel to each other, not infinitely superior/inferior to one another.

Did you see this?

Besides the Infinite recursion; there was other proposals. The infinite recursion was simply a "possibly" on my blog


The other proposals are these

#2 -

The Multiverse is 5D due to an uncountably infinite number of Universes being created instantly and simultaneously.

The Multiverse is further implied to be encompassed by a higher spatial dimension and temporal dimension (6D and 7D) The 8th sense then allows for further Reality Fiction difference with the multiverse making the mind and soul 8D for 8th sense and higher users





#3 -

Simply just let be 5D due to an uncountably infinite number of Universes, and the 8th sense be 6D. The other complicated stuff can be discussed in a new CRT




#4 -

The Multiverse is Low 1-A due to this process that i will describe;

Every point in timespace creates an infinite multiverse. Time and space being having uncountbaly infinite points by default with the tiering system.
This creates uncountably infinite universes. This should normally be 5D, but there is more to the process.

The universes created by this process also possess their own futures which exist as universes and there is infinite of those too. So that new set of Uncountably infinite Universes, and new set of Infinite futures, also go on to produce another even bigger uncountably infinite number of universes with their own infinite futures.

This process is eternal and infinite. It keeps repeating, but it all happens instaneously and simultaneously

This Low 1-A Multiverse is then encompassed by a Higher Spatial Dimension, and Temporal Dimension. That no matter how far this process continues. It just won't break, reach, or transcend these higher layers. According to my knowledge of the tiering system that should make those 1-A. Even if they are not, the 8th sense scaling should be due to a Reality ficition difference with the multiverse.







#5 -

Just let it be 2-A and all that complicated mumbo jumbo should be saved for another time when it makes more coherent sense, and is worded better and organized better on a CRT.








Those are the other tiering proposals without the infinite recursion.
 
You can have infinite*infinite universes multiplied by infinite universes and still not enter tier 1

Space between and containing the multiverse isn't significant enough to be tiered even if it's 5D, as I've been told numerous times. Apparently as long as all of these infinite universes are under one superior time axis, it's not enough for even low 1c,

This seems more like quantitative superiority, which is at best 2A, as firestorm said, all these universes are all parallel to one another, the Soave they encompasses then is indeed 5D, but being 5D isn't enough for a 1c rating, it has to be "significant"

I have proven that there us a higher spatial and temporal dimension.

And it's more than infinite^infinite universes

Also infinite^infinite has always been uncountably infinite. When has this changed? Is there a crt?

No you can't, low 1-C is literally defined as 1 level of infinity greater than low 2-C and the continuum hypothesis is literally an axiom that underpins the whole tiering system, inf^inf we take to be aleph 1, which is 1 level of infinity above 2-A.
 
Warping space and time on earth in a specific way gets you to his location.
Interesting! If I had a nickel for when a series features celestial themed warriors warping through space and time to reach a door of spacetime guarded by chronos, I would have two nickels!!


both Sho and ND answer those questions with both yes. There does exist real galaxies as we know them. Actually recently, they got erased in GR. But also, Shiryu legit fall into another galaxy and it was an alternate reality.
Can you post the scan of shiryu?


Also recursive universes can be anywhere from 2-C to 1-A. Depending how its done.

but for tier 1, you would have to prove the universes are all embedded in the other universes as small insignificant sizes.

Same as above.
 
except Shura already defined Universe to be an object which holds these parallel worlds.

never said that, no one has ever said that.

The multiverse defined by Dohko is a structure made up of universes and worlds. Shura and Brontes tell us the make up of those 2 lesser structures, that in and of themselves form multiverses.

Your logic in this regard is no different to saying U7 can't be a 2-C structure IT'S A UNIVERSE...
No, what Shura words it the other way around, saying that the world holds the universe. Again, "has the same universe" has a completely different meaning to "within the same universe."

That's what the blog literally says.
"The Universe" is the name given to the structure that holds the complete, whole, and the entire totality of Existence. The contents within "The Universe" is referred to as "The Multiverse" on several occasions.
And again you let the point go over your head, the issue is how world and universe are distinguished, and world is literally mentioned after as he goes up in scale (which goes completely against the idea that the universe holds worlds within it, it's completely redundant to even mention worlds at that point when he'd already mentioned universe, which according to this interpretation contains worlds as a subset within it).

Not the same, U7 is a proper noun (just as how North Galaxy is a proper noun while DB still retains the standard usage of galaxy as opposed to it always meaning 1/4 of the universe) and a name given to the macrocosm system which is already established to be made of places distinguished from the literal "universe" itself. This here is an attempt to redefine what "universe" itself as a general term means.
contradicted in GR and every other mention of dimension and world in G, not that Dohko's statement alone proves worlds > universes.



GR straight up calls universes "multi-dimensional" and uses the terms dimension and world interchangeably.

With the Shura statement in GA being not in favor of either interpretation, GR flat out confirms my interpretation.

Not to mention it does NOT say Multiverse, multiverse is a different kanji.

多次元宇宙 =/= 多元宇宙

G very much defines it's universes as multi dimensional (timelines) objects.

It's very clear there exists a multiverse that is in and of itself a collection of unknown amount of "universes" with each universe being it's own 2-B/2-A structure.


contradicted again, the Primordials created all the atoms, not the Big Bang. Marin is not more reliable than Uranus.



except, it is and GR proves it by calling the universe "multi-dimensional" (I want to point out there contextual use of dimension within the manga is very consistently "timeline", not spatial dimensions at all if that wasn't clear).

Dimension has a lot of nuance and multiple possible meanings as a word. That offhand one liner doesn't have a modicum of further elaboration or explanation as to what it's referring to conclusively say it's about timelines, or any other context whatsoever. Although it seems that it would confirm that Okada obviously understands that "universe" on its own does not equate to multiple dimensions, otherwise a term like that would be completely redundant.

The usage of "multiverse" (which is literally just multiple universes) to combine individual worlds and universes makes no sense if "universe" also means the or a multiverse. Again, if you just look at the context of that conversation, Shiryu and Dohko are clearly talking as though "world" entails a single timeline and a singular alternate counterpart (no shit), and in said conversation, world>universe.
5f4b6ed98be0a8db8b72632c236473db.jpg

Dohko also saying that from his POV the world was everything that existed further proves the point of world>universe even while meaning one timeline, and this also goes back to the issue noted earlier about how universe is used in Shura and Shiryu's conversation in relation to what the characters understand "universe" to be (especially for Shiryu).

And the primordials claiming to create atoms doesn't contradict anything, the Big Bang is mentioned in Episode G too. Until further notice, this just means they're behind the Big Bang. Neither does that contradict Marin making it clear Saint Seiya doesn't use universe any differently from how it's supposed to be used.
Where is "there may" coming from? I can't in any way find any indication based on the kanji you yourself provided have any indication of hesitance. Ithink you're the one who's fallen victim to confirmation bias...

no you haven't, in-fact, you've flat out ignored most context, added you own words to translations that goes beyond "naturalizing the sentence" and straight up changing the whole tone and verbiage of the statement.
I know it doesn't literally say "there may", that's why I didn't even write that the earlier times I quoted that with the scan itself. But as you said, as far as naturalizing the sentence, it's the best translation to fully convey what he means, because at that point, even if it was confirmed later, he admits he has no proof of what he's saying right after and was just speculating. Verbatim may have been the slightest exaggeration, but moreso is freaking out for no reason as if something different was conveyed to what he actually meant, when it just makes the meaning clearer.
when you can't in anyway show or prove either.
When you still haven't proven or remotely substantiated the claim that Okada later uses singular "universe" on its own to refer to the multiverse to give anything to prove in the first place.
 
Im with Firestorm on the parallel worlds thing. As for the other proposals:

#2 -

The Multiverse is 5D due to an uncountably infinite number of Universes being created instantly and simultaneously.
I looked for the word "uncountably" and "uncountable" in the blog and didn't find it. How was that conclusion reached?

The Multiverse is further implied to be encompassed by a higher spatial dimension and temporal dimension (6D and 7D)

As for a higher spatial dimension, this is the relevant section of the blog:

We also learned in the far more recent chapter, far later into the story, that the Timeline of "The Past," "The Present," and "The Future" are different timelines.[13] In that same panel/page, it is also mentioned that Athena is "traversing time and space."[13] She is crossing one timeline (Spacetime continuum) into another Timeline (Spacetime Continuum). This sentence implies that there is a higher dimensional spatial and temporal axis that encompasses the multiverse thus implying the structure of "The Universe" without stating it.

But I fail to see how, in any shape or form, how traversing timelines implies two additional dimensions.

The 8th sense then allows for further Reality Fiction difference with the multiverse making the mind and soul 8D for 8th sense and higher users

I don't see R>F for 8th sense. It just says its a higher reality. It's not even clear to me if this higher reality has qualitative superiority.

The Multiverse is Low 1-A due to this process that i will describe;

Every point in timespace creates an infinite multiverse. Time and space being having uncountbaly infinite points by default with the tiering system. This creates uncountably infinite universes. This should normally be 5D, but there is more to the process.

I asked Ultima about this. He said that while it is true that we treat space and time as continuous and as having uncountably infinite points, it is not the case that a verse that has timelines branching out of every moment extrapolates automatically to uncountably infinite universes, as the verse would need to specify that literally nothing will still create new timelines, whereas this verse very concretely says events need to occur, even though these events are minor, this still disqualifies.

Be it a gust of wind 一滴の水然り Or a drop of water 一人の人間の心もまた要因の一つ A single person's heart may also be one of those causes 未来とはそれらを重ねた結果なのです What we call time is the result of all these cumulative events why didn
The universes created by this process also possess their own futures which exist as universes and there is infinite of those too. So that new set of Uncountably infinite Universes, and new set of Infinite futures, also go on to produce another even bigger uncountably infinite number of universes with their own infinite futures.

This process is eternal and infinite. It keeps repeating, but it all happens instaneously and simultaneously
No.
 
The earlier scans in the thread that call them parallel worlds.
“Them” refers to worlds that exist in the same world. Those worlds are indeed parallel to each other, they are like “sibling” worlds. But they arent Stated to be parallel to their “parent” world, nor is it implied
 
No, what Shura words it the other way around, saying that the world holds the universe. Again, "has the same universe" has a completely different meaning to "within the same universe."

That's what the blog literally says.

And again you let the point go over your head, the issue is how world and universe are distinguished, and world is literally mentioned after as he goes up in scale (which goes completely against the idea that the universe holds worlds within it, it's completely redundant to even mention worlds at that point when he'd already mentioned universe, which according to this interpretation contains worlds as a subset within it).

Not the same, U7 is a proper noun (just as how North Galaxy is a proper noun while DB still retains the standard usage of galaxy as opposed to it always meaning 1/4 of the universe) and a name given to the macrocosm system which is already established to be made of places distinguished from the literal "universe" itself. This here is an attempt to redefine what "universe" itself as a general term means.

Dimension has a lot of nuance and multiple possible meanings as a word. That offhand one liner doesn't have a modicum of further elaboration or explanation as to what it's referring to conclusively say it's about timelines, or any other context whatsoever. Although it seems that it would confirm that Okada obviously understands that "universe" on its own does not equate to multiple dimensions, otherwise a term like that would be completely redundant.

The usage of "multiverse" (which is literally just multiple universes) to combine individual worlds and universes makes no sense if "universe" also means the or a multiverse.

These aren’t even arguments and you literally just admitted to altering translations imposing your own interpretation onto the text that simply isn’t supported.

Dohko makes 0 claim as to the structure of the universes, using him as an argument is quite disingenuous.

dimension is not a nuanced word, anyone who’s read chapters 16-19 of GR knows exactly how dimension is used, it’s not an argument whatsoever.

I think staff should just decide, we’re going in circles and your disingenuous arguments are honestly just annoying to read.
 
Im with Firestorm on the parallel worlds thing. As for the other proposals:


I looked for the word "uncountably" and "uncountable" in the blog and didn't find it. How was that conclusion reached?

This is because that every universe has infinite snapshots of a repeating moments in time existing parallel to it. Every universe has "Infinite presents" existing as Universes. Infinite Universes each experiencing their own "present." Every moment is being repeated to infinity as existing univereses through this.



As for a higher spatial dimension, this is the relevant section of the blog:

We also learned in the far more recent chapter, far later into the story, that the Timeline of "The Past," "The Present," and "The Future" are different timelines.[13] In that same panel/page, it is also mentioned that Athena is "traversing time and space."[13] She is crossing one timeline (Spacetime continuum) into another Timeline (Spacetime Continuum). This sentence implies that there is a higher dimensional spatial and temporal axis that encompasses the multiverse thus implying the structure of "The Universe" without stating it.

But I fail to see how, in any shape or form, how traversing timelines implies two additional dimensions.

There was actually more to this besides that one.

its this whole section

Now, this may sound like normal time travel for a single Universe, but it is not time travel. In more recently released chapters, we learned that Athena was stated to be "Coming from a far away spacetime."[10] We also learned in the far more recent chapter, far later into the story, that the Timeline of "The Past," "The Present," and "The Future" are different timelines.[13] In that same panel/page, it is also mentioned that Athena is "traversing time and space."[13] She is crossing one timeline (Spacetime continuum) into another Timeline (Spacetime Continuum). This sentence implies that there is a higher dimensional spatial and temporal axis that encompasses the multiverse thus implying the structure of "The Universe" without stating it. Further supporting evidence of an additional higher spatial and temporal axis in the original series. It is a location known as "The Super Dimensional Space." This realm is special because it is the "Dimension" that exist as the gap that separates "other Dimensions." For instance, it separates Hades Underworld from Elysium.[14] It is also stated to move you to another dimension,[14] which is later clarified in a Guidebook to mean parallel worlds.[15] In addition to that, it is stated to be have its own space, and time which is stated to be "Influx." Then in Saint Seiya: Saintia Sho we learned that "This Universe" has "many branching timelines." and that was "the true extent of "This Universe."[5] In Saint Seiya: Episode G Assassins, we are told that their are parallel worlds that exist inside "The universe."[3]



I don't see R>F for 8th sense. It just says its a higher reality. It's not even clear to me if this higher reality has qualitative superiority.

8th sense has its own blog, but it was accepted in a past thread to be Qualitative superior. Also Exctutinor_no commented on it and this is what he said

Hmm thats new information for me, there are things that still create new timelines as far as im aware.
that does make sense though because that assumes there are still possibilities left. So thinking about it deeply that does make sense.

Nope, I literally already gave the exact wording and entire Japanese typeset along with the scan exactly how it was as my very first post, what you're saying makes 0 sense.
769de4f36c54aff0c8d1f200ff999ce0.png

Naturalizing a translation with a single phrase that conveys it's context clearer (as Shura in the very next thing he says admits he's speculating and has no proof) isn't altering anything nor imposing my own interpretation.

This is still a completely meaningless and irrelevant nitpick to my actual point btw, which was about how Shura states world>universe by saying a world holds a universe (like he literally states the direct opposite of what you're trying to argue about the universe having worlds) and how he labels parallel worlds. Just comes off as another attempt from you to poison the well while deflecting from the actual matter at hand.
Dohko makes 0 claim as to the structure of the universes, using him as an argument is quite disingenuous.
He's explaining the structure of the multiverse and it's constituents, where his dialogue makes it clear that multiverse>world>universe, and it goes as far as him mentioning worlds after mentioning universes, which completely debunks the absolutely nonsensical notion of "universe" actually referring to what are multiple other universes by every metric, and parallel worlds being contained within a single one.
dimension is not a nuanced word, anyone who’s read chapters 16-19 of GR knows exactly how dimension is used, it’s not an argument whatsoever.
It is. You don't have a modicum of context to say that's conclusively referring to different timelines or what sort of dimensions it's referring to. It's literally a completely offhand throwaway one liner. The one thing we can discern from a phrase like "multi dimensional universe" is that it's further proof that Saint Seiya doesn't understand simply "universe" on it's own in some weird way from it's universally established definition as referring to a multiverse (multiple dimensions) as was being claimed.
I think staff should just decide, we’re going in circles and your disingenuous arguments are honestly just annoying to read.
Fine by me, and likewise.
 
Why am I the one who always gets stuck with arguing with these types.....

He makes no claim as to the structure of the universes in relation to worlds, that's a blatant lie.

Shura is a being who wanders dimensions (chapter 17):

Shura uses worlds to describe the places he's travelled to (chapter 17 also)

Shura has visited Lost World and kills the Anti-Pope, GA goes at great lengths to prove LW is a different timeline (chapter 18)

Shura can't stay in the same timeline for very log (chapter 18)

"no context"

"throw away line"

the universe being called multidimensional literally proves my sides interpretation of the Shura scan, don't sit there and say "no modicum of evidence", that's the most blatant lie I think I've ever seen on this wiki, or you haven't read the manga and are arguing out of ignorance.
 
Sounds like a you problem, as I'm not the one continuing to drag out a conversation after saying I'm ending it twice
He makes no claim as to the structure of the universes in relation to worlds, that's a blatant lie.
He distinguishes them and mentions worlds after already mentioning universe. It's rudimentary reading comprehension to understand that this would be completely redundant and ridiculous if your theory that a universe already contains worlds were true (and even in that scene, Shiryu and Dohko are clearly referring to singular parallel timelines when talking about their respective worlds and memories), and this also makes sense with Shura's wording being "worlds holding universes", the literal opposite of a universe containing a world.

That's right, there is no context that explains what exactly was meant there and it is a throwaway line of a term never brought up or remotely elaborated again, is it not? I'm not sure what you're trying to get at with redundantly scan dumping unrelated scenes with different, actually explained contexts to them for the usage of dimension, as no one said dimension can't refer to timelines. The issue is it's not exclusive to that, neither in Saint Seiya or in general. Nothing you posted is any sort of conclusive evidence or new context as to what the specific throwaway line with no further elaboration meant.

And no, in no case does it help your interpretation of the Shura scan which is literally is the opposite of what he says and what the usage of an adjective like "multi dimensional" to "universe" means for the latter as its own term (which is what was used in Shura's dialogue).

What's the status on using WOG on this forum?


I found a twitter thread where the author discusses what a "multi dimensional universe" is, and the takeaway seems to be that the guy himself didn't fully know (no wonder he refused to elaborate further the one offhand time it's mentioned in his manga) and even entertains explanations such as this which clearly doesn't pertain to different timelines.



In any case, it's quite questionable to insist that this has to refer to timelines when the author himself didn't seem to understand it that way the one time he tried to go in depth about it. There's nothing conclusive to the notion it means timelines in this instance, and on the contrary that's completely contradicted by the very definition of universe and how Dohko describes it in relation to worlds.

Machine translating what he said, he’s just saying when he tried to explain it, his friend cut him off.

the second quote seems to actually confirm some kind of layered universes. The above Person says he imagines it as Mille Feuille or pie crust. And the response is, “Mille-feuille... ah, the close-knit doughs overlapping each other in their own dimensions to form a universe...” Mille feuille is a multi layered pastry, which translates roughly to thousand sheets. There’s nothing to me that shows he doesn’t understand it. Unless I’m missing something?
 
ahh yes,, using WOG from 2017 to debunk manga panels from 2022-2023 top tier argument, mind you at this point in the series' chronology (2017) the term "multidimensional universe" NEVER makes an appearance, and the twitter conversation leaves Okada understanding the term to be akin to a baked good


which is a singular object comprised layers of puff pastry.


Rough translation of Okada's tweet by the way

"ミルフィーユ…ああ、密接した生地がそれぞれの次元で重なり合いながら宇宙を形成している的な…"

"Mille-feuille... Ah, it's like closely knit layers overlapping in their respective dimensions, forming the universe or something like that..."

So if you want to use these random tweets and take Okada's ramblings on twitter as any indication, if he's to compare the "multidimensional universe" as in structure similar to a Mille-feuille, then he'd agree with my interpretation.

Beyond that, his last known use of the kanji 多次元 in the manga is in reference to an object that connects timelines together.



the scans provide context as to how the term multidimensional is used both in general and between the 2 relevant characters having the conversion (Kido and Shura) and from many other characters who use the terms to mean timelines.

to say an object is multidimensional is to say it is an object that connects to or holds multiple dimensions in someway, combine the fact Shura says Universes hold timelines and the fact the universe is multidimensional is to say universes are 2-C to 2-A structures. Dohko in no fashion makes any claim as to the way whihc universes and worlds are connected to one another and instead focuses more on the relationships between worlds themselves, such a structure is elaborated on by other characters like Shura and Kido.

Kido uses dimension or understands dimension to refer to timelines, I have fulfilled my burden of proof in showing contextually what dimensions are, how the term multidimensional is to be interpreted and I don't accept your skepticism or claims of lack of context to be at all compelling, nor should they be considered arguments.
