What time "is" IRL and what it's treated as "in story," can and HAVE been entirely different for countless narratives. We index what it is, not what we like it to be. Thus, this comment makes no ******* sense.
No we dont? If you can't follow the standards, I'll be forced to report you, you realize that yes? While on wiki, in a CRT no less, you follow our standards, not
yours.
Don't like it? Go to one of the other dozen wiki's out there, as long as you're here, you'll adhere to the standards and not make stuff up and use stuff we don't accept in a CRT.
OW has time, explicitly, and demonstrably, shown numerous times, thus it has time, nothing more, nothing less.
I did.
No, it shows a vast lack of desire to actually explain why you believe X, Y, and Z would happen.
I have, you, quite literally, don't grasp what time entails, idk what else to say beyond that.
If you said the sky was green when it's blue, and I said no it's blue, because it shows the properties of being blue, and ya go "nuh uh", that's nobody's fault but your own. You don't get what being blue entails, what else am I supposed to say?
If I said the Sun was made of yarn, you asked me to say why, and then I go "It just is," that doesn't magically make it true, explain anything, or cover the litany of issues that would occur if it was true. At best you're being straight up unhelpful, since it's literally you refusing to explain.
Yeah, you're right, but if the sun WAS made of yarn, demonstrated being made of yarn, and has hundreds of examples being made of yarn, and ya said "nuh uh it lacks yarn", that'd be on you being dense or not knowing wtf yarn is or something.
Do I really need to explain to you like you're 5? OW displays the concept of time and everything it entails man, not much more needs to be said.
Literally means we simply index it properly. Not refuse to engage with the source material.
No, that's exactly what it means, the material made a fucky and is full of shit. So we don't use it.
Again, DBZ isnt special.
It does every goddamn time.
Dozens, from the moment it's introduced, to the last time we've seen it.
I'm actually baffled, how the hell do you say that with a straight face?
Okay. What part of Otherworld's Time being non-existent (relative to the mortal world, since obviously they're still moving and whatnot), would make the act of counting a contradiction?
What? The fact it HAS TIME. It demonstrates time EVERY time, without fail, even when they say it doesn't it STILL does. Thus it doesn't qualify by standards and boo hoo it doesn't get the timeless world sticker.
To Goku, Time DIDN'T pass. He outright mentions it in regards to SSJ3. So again, what are you talking about? SECOND, if I exist in a Timeless realm, Time OUTSIDE that realm DOESN'T FREEZE. So Time moving OUTSIDE of it literally DOESN'T MATTER.
Except it has? The fact he had a training montage? Trains with dudes. The fact seven years passed? From HIS perspective?
Oh and just forget the dozens of time Goku and lads explicitly experience and measure time in OW without watching MW or whatever if that's what ya wanna argue.
Are you for real dude? Time passed, the fact he got anything done meant time passed. OW experiences a passage of time, the BEST you can argue, is dude's don't age? Maybe? But that's not even remotely the same as lacking time as a whole.
If a world says "Their Earth is 50x real Earth," we don't suddenly say the series is wrong for still having normal Earth physics.
Yeah we assume it's density then correlates to said size, in order to obtain 1g as to have the physics it displays.
And if they yap and spout wrong shit anyway, yeah we discard it, we
JUST had a Metroid CRT where we tossed a planet's stated mass because it didn't add up.
LITERALLY a day ago. You're factually wrong on this front.
If they say their Souls are integral concepts that decide reality, we don't suddenly say their souls aren't souls. The same applies here.
Souls in and of themselves aren't subject to reality, because we don't even have a frame of reference for them irl.
We KNOW what time is, we know how time acts, we know what is a byproduct of time. It displays everything that it could only do if it had time, it simply doesn't act the same, ergo.
Unless ya wana argue time in DBZ isnt the same as irl? Then damn cool, they get downgraded then because the frame of reference is no longer valid.
So no, it doesn't, we have standards for timeless realms dude.
While obviously, we index based on our world, at no point do we deny the fictional one.
We do EVERYDAY, constantly. Is DBZ the only verse you interact with? We toss shit all the time because it doesn't follow irl standards, whether it's something minor like Ram skillfucking a dude 400x quicker than her, which we tossed because it's dumb, or the aforementioned explicit mass for Metroid planets because it doesn't add up with how they actually behave (gee almost like OW not behaving like said), or the dozens of other timeless worlds that we don't accept as timeless.
So yes, actually,
we do do that.
We instead index appropriately.
Yeah, we index as it's shown a thousand times, not wrong statements because Akira Toriyama doesn't know what time is.
We adjust our calcs based on the GBE of that hypothetical planet,
This, again, ultra ironic.
we list those Souls as both the Soul and a Concept.
Souls (might) not even be real man and even irl, they vary between religions, quite literally an example of something ya can yap about and make shit up for, not the same for TIME.
In that same way, we would not claim that the Timeless Void is not a Timeless Void. We would, and SHOULD, say it is not "OUR KIND" of Timeless Void.
Youre on OUR wiki, so YES, you do.
Also we DO, we gave the Grand Priest time manip JUST to explain why time passes in a timeless void, even by accepted DBZ standards we dont just assume "erm they said timeless so **** actually being timeless".
A slew of false equivalences, but go off on how "chakra" is somehow the same as a whole world showing time.
And yeah, DBZ isn't special, so it adheres to our standards, and doesn't get to be treated as an actual timeless place.
Dude. My guy. "If it was blank, he would do X/mention it."
"But he verbatim does X/mention it."
"Well, he's just talking."
Is this not the epitome of shifting goalposts, 1? And 2, the Otherworld hasn't demonstrated time. It's simply demonstrated people can watch time pass without them in another dimension.
Jesus christ,
time shouldn't be this hard too grasp. It isn't just some cool word.
Talking requires time. Watching time pass requires time. Experiencing time entails time. Even just cause and effect, basic actions, etc all function due to the passage of time.
ALL OF THAT ENTAILS TIME.
If Goku is in OW, and he counts to 5, damn 5 seconds passed. It isn't a difficult concept to grasp, time exists.
No? Nothing has proved it has time. Also, 2 decades is not a short time period relative to one hundred years? It's like a fifth of his life? Also-also, fair on Frieza's life cycle, though.
You just said to him it was a short
time.
TIME.
Time PASSED for him, he experienced time, thus OW has time. Do you not even read your own arguments?
Cell regenerated in Otherworld...and reappeared moments later in the Living World. And all of that was offscreen. The only perspective of the Afterlife we get on that incident is Goku and King Kai, who've somehow already been checked in, gotten the body pass, and are floating above Snake Way in the 3 pages between the detonation and we see them. Also, I don't see how time passing without Cell (as he was not in Time) would affect Cell.
Dude there was a good few minutes that took place.
Time passed there, time passed out, same rate.
Do you REALLY not understand what TIME means? A place without time, wouldn't experience the passage of time.
It establishes that dimensions with different time flows affect those within their time flows. Not interdimensionally. In fact,
this is an active plot point in the Buu Saga. Piccolo mixes up the way the RoSaT works relative to the normal world because the only thing whose perspectives should be, and ARE, affected are the individuals.
Yeah, and yet in OW, Goku experiences time normally, we know this as the start of super he ***** off for a few months, and he KNOWS how long he's been gone for. He can obviously keep track of time there, because he experiences the same, because the MW and OW have the same rate of flow.
You are LITERALLY proving why OW doesn't have a different flow of time due to lacking time.
No one said it is? I'm saying it's an alt dimension with it's own flow.
You literally just did dude.
By your logic, that flow would leak out and make time pass quicker.
No? But it sure as hell effects one's perception of time. OW doesn't, ever, best ya got is Freeza, but no ignore blatant examples like Tien going "yeah, i dont mind staying dead for an extra year, it's only a year's wait lmao".
Or that time would pass slower to the RoSaT. Hell, your own logic doesn't even make sense.
Elder Kai was literally watching the Gotenks fight, from
a different dimension entirely.
Yeah, and? We don't know what it looked like from his pov.
Even so, that'd just be the verse being inconsistent as usual.
Even if Otherworld has a time flow, by your logic this shouldn't be possible. Things should be moving 365x relative to their perception, and leak out into Otherworld and accelerate time.
The **** is up with your strawmanning?
Time literally passes in OW, end of.
Your logic is literally simply not how it works. When Goku goes into the HTC, time doesn't "speed up." He simply enters a faster space time. No more and no less.
And to him, he experiences a whole year, in the same time as the outside does 1 day.
His perception and experience of time is tied to the flow of time. If OW DIDNT HAVE TIME, he wouldnt EXPERIENCE TIME, at all, yet he does.
This does not touch or affect any other space time. Just the things inside it. As such, when he leaves, he shall find time has passed without him, simply at a slower pace because that space time is slower. Identically, when Goku enters and leaves Otherworld, time passes without him, and he merely re-enters where Time is now.
What the actual hell are you talking about? OW doesn't even effect the shit inside it dude, time straight up is 1:1 between, and the fact they experience time, in any way, at all, in OW, means it has time because yuh huh that's what time means.
Read above.
There's a difference between being wrong because you said something in an interview, and wrote a different thing (Death of the Author), and being "wrong" because you wrote one thing, repeated that thing, that thing is in the source material (thus objectively cannot be wrong),
Do you really think that? We toss stated shit out all the time, it needs to actually show it, it does the opposite.
There is no difference, you literally just dont know how the wiki works ig.
and people with no power over the source material are going "Nuh uh, not realistic enough."
Yes, because youre on the wiki, tough shit.
Anyway
Damn here's Goku, in OW, saying "damn 6 months passed", after 6 months had passed.
Here's Kai going "hmm, theyll be there in 158 days, well ya have 158 days with me ig lmao".
inb4 "erm he said a thou-", yeah, he's saying his training good.
A OW resident going "oh a 100 million years ago, Enma did that lmao", showing a passage of time, and Goku going "oh hey in a year, do this" and then bro does that in literally a year exactly, showing, wow a year of time in OW, is a year in general, also the passage of time, in general.
Kami going "hey Goku, the next year will be hard for ya", because no shit, he has a year of time, but why even mention that if Goku doesn't experience time normally there? Oh but 1 page later they talk about time passing too, hmmm.
Hey here's the squad saying they don't mind waiting a year, because damn, it's ONLY a year, because not like they experience the passage of time directly.
Oh and "i'll spend time here" or "we're running out of time" - Piccolo.
How? Time doesnt exist there, how will piccolo run out of time to train?
I'd post like a hundred more, because this happens ALL the time, but forum only enables 5 imgur links at a time, anyway, yeah no, you're wrong. Time passes, they experience time despite your blatantly vague examples like Freeza who proves time passes anyway, time passes 1:1 with MW even, but even if it was slower in OW, slow time is still time, OW displays all the mechanics and exclusive traits that time entails, and no, we don't get to treat DBZ as a special lil boy that gets to have a funny timeless world, because functionally and demonstrably, that does not apply. Don't like it? Go make a thread about how we can just make up stuff to fit agendas.
Your argument essentially boils down to "well they SAY it so it doesn't matter if it's wrong", yeah no, not wasting any more time on blatant disregard of standards, and willful ignorance.
**** idk why even ya want this, it'd downgrade the macrocosm to low 2-C even if OW is a diff world given it'd just be space, no time, regardless of the OP. it'd even **** with the hypertime, kai realm, and everything inbetween
