I am neutral, I guess since I am still reading it and I have a life tbh, but I think that we are honestly hair splitting at this point.
Most verses where atomization is assumed as a high-end at least show absolutely nothing left in the crater. This clearly shows an immense amount of debris, and is thus not atomization.DarkDragonMedeus said:I highly doubt any medium visually shows atomizatio; like name one verse that actually demonstrates 6.022140758 * 10^23 on screen particles pure Mol?
Interesting that you use the exact opposite logic for other series.ParadoxIndifferent said:Visuals > statements.SinsofMan said:When I read Saint Seiya, I just assumed when I was reading this feat that it was atomization.

There was debris. It clearly wasn't atomization. As Kep linked, even the first "shattering atoms" scene does not show actual atomization in the slightest.
There are plenty of attacks in Saint Seiya that completely annihilate their targets, actually. They just tend to be large AoE Blasts / Beams.Kepekley23 said:Subatomic annihilation of one single atom still generates minuscule energy, actually, from what I recall.
It's funny, because even in one of the descriptions about the power or attacks of the Saints you can see the split atoms.Xulrev said:Seriously look at this sca and then this sca which formed the basis of Matthew's counterargument and show me where on earth you get 'yeah they split atoms' from that.
This seems to be an instance where fan theory/translation became accepted canon, regardless of feats showing us otherwise and not being applicable to Wiki standards. Kep is simply correct here.
Sure, I'm stating they didn't vaporize everything in the crater, since, y'know, they blatantly didn't due to all the debris remainingKepekley23 said:I don't think we should waste time debating the idea that Saints have the power to target atoms with their attacks, if they're fighting seriously. That isn't the point.
And I'm agreeing with it; using those two scans Matthew did to support 'they atomize literally everything their attacks come into contact with' is absurdly reaching and utterly ludicrous, since it states no such thingKepekley23 said:Yes, that is my point.
I'm not denying they have atomic powers, but to say they atomically annihilated that crater is, and pardon my French: horseshit.
Because your scans do not support your end-point conclusion of 'everything the Saints attack, even in proximity, gets atomized'.Matthew Schroeder said:"
I'm saying the evidence given is extremely weak, and was the basis of your initial counterargument. I'm not saying anything more or anything less. The fact that those scans are the strongest foot to put forward is immediately suspect since they're absurdly flowery and very vague. "
"Absurdly Flowery"
What is this, 2015? How is a detailed explanation of how the Saints' attacks and powers work and that it all comes from atoms meaningless flowery language?
It's on-panel, it's pretty literal. Hard to argue 'the art is there but really the author didn't intend it'Matthew Schroeder said:Also I'd argue that the debrie in a lot of the scenes is clearly not literal since the quantity there is often greater than the size of the original rock being destroyed.
The Saints can destroy at the subatomic level, it is even described that they can destroy photons. In this scene you can also see that they destroy the nucleus of the atom.Kepekley23 said:The Island level assumption is based on atomic annihilatio (subatomic destruction), not even just baseline atomization. Just so you can see how shaky the feat is.
This is a non-argument. If the feat is done through atomic annihilation you calc it through atomic annihilation. The higher result does not make the feat shakier. I didn't write the Saint Seiya Verse. If you think a setting where basic attacks bring about subatomic destruction you ought to complain to a 74 Year Old Japanese Man.Kepekley23 said:The Island level assumption is based on atomic annihilatio (subatomic destruction), not even just baseline atomization.
