Staff Needed: DxD Gods Abstract Existence/Concept Manip + more

Ophis' Infinity being a collection of itself and lesser concepts like nothingness and chaos.

Potential Arguments against: Ophis was split into Ophis (Finite) and Lilith, so if Ophis truly is Infinity, wouldn't that not exist anymore since Ophis (Infinity) is no more?

Counter: Ophis and Lilith are 2 parts to one being, Infinity isn't gone so much as it's inaccessible to Ophis. When working together, they are practically restored to Ophis' prime. So really there's not really a contradiction. Also, you could just say that Samael which caused the split has some kind of negation to Ophis abilities since that's the reason it was created.

Great Red's dream being a collection of itself and imagination.

Issei: Has both the Power of Infinity from Ophis and the Power of Dreams from Great Red, thus he should get Conceptual Manip for their Concepts. Also a resistance to Conceptual Manip as his True DxD was able to nullify the effect of Alphecca Tyrant which removed the Concept of Sexual Desire from Issei. Also, his and Ddraig's BIoSF Technique can cause wounds that Gods (Specifically Vidar) cannot heal, and as shown in the God Phys section, Gods have Low Godly Regen Over Time (Low Mid Normally), so Issei and Ddraig would get Regen Negation up to those levels. (I'll leave that up to Staff) Something important to note is that Trihexa who possesses Low Godly Regen was able to regen from this technique. (Which implied that its Low-Mid)

Issei being a God and embodies the concepts of Sexual Desire, Breasts, Infinity and Miracles. With "Breasts" being stated to be a "Universal Concept" though I'm not sure what that means exactly.


Conclusion
  1. PDxD-AxA Issei, Great Red, Ophis Concept Manip Type 1-2 (Infinity, Chaos, Nothingness/Infinity, Sexual Desire, Miracles/Dreams, Imagination respectively)
  2. True DxD Issei Resistance to Concept Manip Type 2 (Concept of Sexual Desire)
  3. Tobio (Non Divine, Second Key Up), Loki (Standard, Mischief for CM), Issei (Standard, Dream Dragon, Infinity Dragon), Great Red (Standard, Dream Dragon), Ophis (Standard, Infinity Dragon), Gasper (Non Divine), Nyx (Standard, Night for CM), Apollon (Standard, Sun, Sun for CM), Erebus (Standard, Darkness for CM), Tartarus (Standard, The Abyss for CM), and Sun Wukong (Buddha) would get the Phys Page added
  4. God Phys addition. (Both a page and adding it to respective characters) (can check here for detailed explanations of everything)
  5. Issei and Dragon would get either Low-Mid Regen Negation, or Low-Godly Regen Negation. (Up to Staff to decide)
  6. Small Angel/Devil Phys additions, we see Rias' father stating that he's lived for hundreds of thousands of years, so I'd like to add that to the Longevity sections of their pages. Also, Immortality Type 4/8 to Angel Physiology (and the weakness of dying without Faith) as they can revive like Gods can.

This'd replace the Regen for Ophis found here as well as the abilities already covered by the God Phys on the profiles of Gods.

Agree: SCARECROW1983, AnimesFreak2, Vietthai96 (Issei CM Res, Gods Immortality), TotalMasterInfinity, Hizack123
Neutral:
Disagree: Vietthai96 (various), Rakih_Elyan (CM/AE for Gods), TOAAPRESENCE1 (agrees with Vietthai96)

I saw nothing abstract existence here, concept hax for Tyrant can be argued, but not type 2, you need proof that concept of breast is universal, and hell lol Tyrant only seal away Issei's concept of sexual desire which type is type 3 at best.

About AE, like aside from Ophis and Great Red, which somewhat can be argued, the rest for Gods is that they can come back with enough human belief is, bad evidence. And Dragon Gods =/= Mythological Gods with religions and followers, literally Great Red is permanently dead and do not come back at all

AE type 2 is questionable, since you need to prove that dream and infinity is abstraction, and hell, they need to be able to come back with their immortality tied to said abstraction, for example Ophis being resprentation of infinity, infinity must be abstraction, her existence must be tied to said infinity and be able to come back from it, that is requirement for AE type 2

Overall, i disagree with AE Type 2 for Dragon Gods and Gods, Alphecca Tyrant CM is Type 3, and literally Issei get affected by it, how the hell he get the resistance?. Immortality Type 8 for Gods is fine, but not Dragon Gods

Strange, I see it. Try reloading the page.

wdym?

Why? You're making claims without giving any reasoning behind them. Like me saying, you're wrong because you are. I'd appreciate if you could elaborate.

Uh, they're both Gods, why are you drawing a distinction. Ophis and Great Red both have followers as well, not as many as the other Gods but they still exist. Satanism is literally a thing, and Great Red is the Dragon from The Book of Revelation. Something that Humans interpreted as Satan. Hell, Ophis even has her own Shrine. And why do you assume that Great Red is permanently dead? He just died in the most recent main series volume, we know that Gods resurrection isn't instant, just because he didn't pop right back up after dying doesn't mean he's permanently dead/
AE type 2 is questionable, since you need to prove that dream and infinity is abstraction
Uh, isn't it kinda self evident tho, it's not like a Dream is a tangible thing you can hold in your hand. That's kinda a disingenuous argument. That'd be like proving that Humans breathe air or live on earth, it's just something that's assumed right?
, and hell, they need to be able to come back with their immortality tied to said abstraction, for example Ophis being resprentation of infinity, infinity must be abstraction, her existence must be tied to said infinity and be able to come back from it, that is requirement for AE type 2
Uh, her existence is tied to infinity, did you not read the thread or am I maybe misunderstanding what you're trying to say?
Overall, i disagree with AE Type 2 for Dragon Gods and Gods, Alphecca Tyrant CM is Type 3, and literally Issei get affected by it, how the hell he get the resistance?. Immortality Type 8 for Gods is fine, but not Dragon Gods
The resistance comes from when he becomes unaffected by it as soon as his body meets the requirement for being able to use TDxD. Literally, right when he unlocks it, the effect of Alphecca Tyrant goes away. And it's not like there was a time limit on it. As far as we know, it's supposed to be permanent. And let's not act like characters can't develop resistances over time. Just because a weaker, earlier Issei was affected by it, doesn't mean that every single subsequent version of the character will be too.

But yeah, as far as I've seen, embodying a concept is enough for AE. You don't need to prove the concept is "abstract" or whatever since that's a general assumption since a concept is a metaphysical idea in the first place. And as for the concepts themselves, its obvious which are which. Idk why that's even argued about.

Type 2 concepts are not just because of Tyrant's breasts, they can overwrite all of people's concepts and Issei gets resistance to this by not being affected afterwards

Ophis and Great Red are gods lol, Ophis is the Ouroboros described in multiple cultures and religions, and Great Red is literally Satan and there is Satanism

Azazel himself tells us that Ophis changes shape, his true self is never shown, and we are also told that all his abilities come from these concepts, the same for Great Red.

Overall, i disagree with AE Type 2 for Dragon Gods and Gods, Alphecca Tyrant CM is Type 3, and literally Issei get affected by it, how the hell he get the resistance?. Immortality Type 8 for Gods is fine, but not Dragon Gods
Do you know that we are told that Dream and Infinity give Issei various types of immortality? Also, type 8 immortality can manifest itself in various ways.
 
Like, you can literally just google if X or Y is an abstract concept. And there's not really a reason to assume that the logic of conceptuality would differ between real life and DxD. Especially when it isn't demonstrated or implied to do so.
 
Type 2 concepts are not just because of Tyrant's breasts, they can overwrite all of people's concepts and Issei gets resistance to this by not being affected afterwards
It only say it can overwrite peope's concept, not all people and even all people still didn't make it type 2

Anyway i missed the True DxD part so oke, but again nothing type 2 here
Ophis and Great Red are gods lol, Ophis is the Ouroboros described in multiple cultures and religions, and Great Red is literally Satan and there is Satanism
Appeal to reality, bring up in-universe evidences instead bro. If we brought up real life myth, Ophis is a snake that coiling around and bite its own tail, a monster, not a dragon god of infinity. Great Red is Satan who took the form of a dragon in the Book of Revelation, sure as hell not a dragon god of dream
Azazel himself tells us that Ophis changes shape, his true self is never shown, and we are also told that all his abilities come from these concepts, the same for Great Red.
Change shape is just shapeshifting, it have nothing to do with concept. And Azazel is just talking about her powe of infinity. No one talk about Great Red much


You need to prove concept of breast is universal concept for it to be type 2

Why? You're making claims without giving any reasoning behind them. Like me saying, you're wrong because you are. I'd appreciate if you could elaborate.
Aren't no way, do you read your own scan?, it is literally said Alphecca Tyrant remove the concept of breast cause issei to lose his sexual desire, what the hell about this is type 2??


Uh, they're both Gods, why are you drawing a distinction. Ophis and Great Red both have followers as well, not as many as the other Gods but they still exist. Satanism is literally a thing, and Great Red is the Dragon from The Book of Revelation. Something that Humans interpreted as Satan
Appeal to reality
Hell, Ophis even has her own Shrine. And why do you assume that Great Red is permanently dead? He just died in the most recent main series volume, we know that Gods resurrection isn't instant, just because he didn't pop right back up after dying doesn't mean he's permanently dead/
I know Ophis has a shrine, but what can it prove again??, Great Red is...currently permanently dead, just because there is more volumes, the story still not finished, and there is a probably he could come back in the future, doesn't mean anything, the absence of evidence isn't always a supporting evidences


Uh, isn't it kinda self evident tho, it's not like a Dream is a tangible thing you can hold in your hand. That's kinda a disingenuous argument. That'd be like proving that Humans breathe air or live on earth, it's just something that's assumed right?
The hell man?, so you suggested that everything that is not tangible is abstraction??, my argument isn't disingenuous since your argument that dream is abstraction simply come from your personal logic that dream must be something abstract, hell you even argue it to be a literal concept. And your comparison to human breath air on earth is a false equipvalent.

Just no, we don't make a thread and then claim that X is self-evident and thus is abstract concept simply it sound like one
Uh, her existence is tied to infinity, did you not read the thread or am I maybe misunderstanding what you're trying to say?
Nothing say that other than your claim which isn't in the scans, scans only said her power is infinity and she is invincible, others just talking about her titles as dragon god of infinity

The resistance comes from when he becomes unaffected by it as soon as his body meets the requirement for being able to use TDxD. Literally, right when he unlocks it, the effect of Alphecca Tyrant goes away. And it's not like there was a time limit on it. As far as we know, it's supposed to be permanent. And let's not act like characters can't develop resistances over time. Just because a weaker, earlier Issei was affected by it, doesn't mean that every single subsequent version of the character will be too.
I forgot the True DxD part, so i appologize for this


Do you know that we are told that Dream and Infinity give Issei various types of immortality? Also, type 8 immortality can manifest itself in various ways.
Give him what immortalities other than they expand his lifetime?, they did gave him power boost and some resistances like resistance to soul hax from Grim Reaper since his soul is infinity now Reaper scythe can't reap his life anymore

Like, you can literally just google if X or Y is an abstract concept. And there's not really a reason to assume that the logic of conceptuality would differ between real life and DxD. Especially when it isn't demonstrated or implied to do so.
That, not how we do thing, also there is non-qualifying concepts such as nominalism, idealism. In order for one to qualify as literal concepts, it must be an abstract concept, idea that can impact physical reality, and govern something in reality. Do you even have proof that dream and infinity can actually impact physical reality?, altering these supposed concepts as you arguing them to be, alter reality itself??, or at least what they govern?
 
You need to prove concept of breast is universal concept for it to be type 2
Uh, no I don't, you're literally just making up a rule. "Such concepts are abstract and govern all reality within their area of influence." is literally the only requirement. The concept in question isn't "Breasts" anyway, it's sexual desire. And it's just common sense that things related to sexual desire would fall under that specific area of influence. (Like how after the concept was removed from Issei, he was unable to enjoy Oppai.) That's literally all the proof I need.
Aren't no way, do you read your own scan?, it is literally said Alphecca Tyrant remove the concept of breast cause issei to lose his sexual desire, what the hell about this is type 2??
Uh, no, you've got it backwards, Alphecca Tyrant sealed the concept of Sexual Desire in Issei which caused him to lose his feelings toward breasts and powers related to them. Literally everything related to the concept was stripped from Issei. And no need to get aggressive brodie, its all love over here.
Appeal to reality
Bro, it's literally the same in DxD wdym 😭 and doesn't "appeal to reality" only work as a fallacy when there is something present in a fictional setting that suggests it isn't the same as reality? There's literally contrary evidence to your claim so the burden of proof is actually on you to prove that Humans didn't perceive the Dragon in the Book of Revelation as Satan in DxD like how they do in real life, and that the contents of the Bible differ between Reality and DxD. If not, then your point is debunked due to a lack of evidence for your claims.
“There are two dragons called the ‘Red Dragons’. One of them is the ancient dragon from Wales residing in you. Welsh Dragon. The Sekiryuutei [1]. Hakuryuukou [2] also comes from the same origin and the same myth. But there is one more ‘Red Dragon’. That is the Red-Dragon which is recorded in Revelation [3].”

“Revelation……?”
Source: DxD Volume 6
I know Ophis has a shrine, but what can it prove again??
Uh, that beings worship her, the main thing needed in DxD for a God to Resurrect. We know that humans worship the Dragon Gods so there's literally nothing in the series to substantiate any of the claims that you've made toward my points.
“By the way, shouldn’t we have some kind of Temple or Shrine for Ophis-san? She is a Dragon God.”

…like that.

Temple, shrine…?

That’s right. Ophis is known as the Ouroboros Dragon. Well, [Former].

Koneko said while rotating the roulette.

“……Dragons have always been worshipped as gods and as a symbol of power. Even average dragons are more powerful compared to most monsters, so normally they are worshipped as [Dragon God].”
Well that happened, but after Kunou gave a prayer to the shrine, the shrine has finally been completed! Having stood on top of the shrine, Ophis-sama seemed very happy.

Just then, Kunou spoke.

“The ceremony is kept brief, but this should be enough. If we did a full ceremony the power of the shrine would be too strong for you Devils to handle, and so this should be enough.”

Just like Kunou said, I didn’t feel any power that makes my body shiver in fear. If it’s like this, we won’t have any problem having it on top of our roof.

Akeno-san just then thought of something and she opened her mouth.

“Ufufu, for the celebration of shrine’s construction, shall we make a wish to Phis?”

Oh, that sounds fun!

Just like that, we gave our prayer to our Dragon-God, Ophis-sama!
“Oh, Phis-dono! Have you returned from the shrine on the rooftop[8]?”

“Sunbathing, done.”

Oh, from time to time, Ophis goes to the miniature shrine that was built specifically for her on the rooftop. She really likes sunbathing up there. Everyone here also goes there occasionally to visit, and puts some money into the donation box. This is treated as pocket money for Ophis to spend. I looked at Ophis, and muttered quietly.
, Great Red is...currently permanently dead, just because there is more volumes, the story still not finished, and there is a probably he could come back in the future, doesn't mean anything, the absence of evidence isn't always a supporting evidences
What is your evidence that he's permanently dead? I've shown evidence that he's able to resurrect. We both know that he's dead now but there's nothing to imply that it's permanent. And besides, wouldn't everyone and everything in DxD be gone since his existence is tied to the DG? If Great Red was gone permanently, don't you think it's a tiiiiiiiiiiny bit strange that something like that hasn't happened yet?
The hell man?, so you suggested that everything that is not tangible is abstraction??, my argument isn't disingenuous since your argument that dream is abstraction simply come from your personal logic that dream must be something abstract, hell you even argue it to be a literal concept. And your comparison to human breath air on earth is a false equipvalent.
Uh, no, my argument wasn't that something being not tangible makes it an abstraction, it was being a non tangible, metaphysical idea. Something that doesn't materially exist, please don't twist my words man. And I don't think my comparison is a false equivalent either. Some things are just presupposed to be true because of the absence of evidence against it. Like I said before with the Appeal to Reality thing, if there's no reason to assume X differs from Y, then we don't assume that they are different. Until you can provide evidence against what I said rather than "You're wrong because I said so", my claims are still held high by my mountains of evidence.
Just no, we don't make a thread and then claim that X is self-evident and thus is abstract concept simply it sound like one
Uh, presuppositions exist. Not everything is presupposed but in the absence of conflicting evidence, that's kinda what you have to do. That's called an Axiom. Supposing that X would differ from Y however with no evidence, or reason to assume so however is fallacious.
Nothing say that other than your claim which isn't in the scans, scans only said her power is infinity and she is invincible, others just talking about her titles as dragon god of infinity
That's just not true though, I provided numerous scans stating far more than just that.
For example, in the Dragons AE section, there is a very clear statement that Dragons embody specific concepts with Crom Cruach being a prime example. And in Ophis' section, you will find that she is stated to represent/personify/embody (similar wording to Crom) Infinity several times. SS4, SS6, SS14, and SS15 are all examples of this. And her existence is said to be Infinity itself numerous times as well (SS7, SS8, SS Second to Last), one of the axioms of my argument is that Infinity is by it's very nature, a metaphysical, abstract concept, so embodying it along with having the Resurrection/Immortality required for AE T2 would be enough to qualify for the abilitiy. And being able to manipulate it which is also shown in the screenshots that I provided is enough evidence for CM.
I forgot the True DxD part, so i appologize for this
No problem.
That, not how we do thing
I mean, I wouldn't ask you to prove that 1 + 1 = 2. Or that the year is 2024 currently. And I don't think any staff members would either since that's just a fact. Not exactly an opinion or something that can be argued.
, also there is non-qualifying concepts such as nominalism, idealism.
Which are unrelated to anything presented in my CRT. Not sure why you feel the need to bring that up. If you mean to say that Dreams or Imagination are just nominal concepts, that's kinda silly to even want to argue.
In order for one to qualify as literal concepts, it must be an abstract concept, idea that can impact physical reality, and govern something in reality. Do you even have proof that dream and infinity can actually impact physical reality?
Uh, yeah, I literally provided them in the original post. for Ophis SS 9 and 12 are good examples. Ophis' Infinity made Issei's life force infinite, and in DxD, Life Force (or Ki) is a tangible thing that can be interacted with. (Ex: Sairaorg, Ouryuu, Shirone.) Also, Infinity was stated to be the only thing capable of making the production of Plate Mails and Evil Dragons Infinite.
For Great Red, the second screenshot is a good example, Issei while connected to Great Red dreams of sending Ascalon to Yuuto, and in reality, that's what happpens. Same with Issei reassuring the kids in the dream, and the kids feeling reassured IRL, and Issei using Dream (Answer) to create weapons for AxA.
And it's kinda weird that you'd ask for evidence when it was there this entire time, did you not read what was in the op fully or did you just glance through? I'd understand if you had some misunderstandings due to not reading what was sent, but please do so next time. It'd make things a lot easier and more productive if there weren't misunderstandings between us, to promote better communication and such.
, altering these supposed concepts as you arguing them to be, alter reality itself??, or at least what they govern?
Yes, when Ophis uses Infinity, she can choose to make something in reality, Infinite. (Infinite Power, Infinite Plate Mails, Infinite Life Force) When Great Red uses Dream, he can choose to make Dreams into reality. (Issei's affirmations to children, Ascalon, AxA weapons)
I just realized that I spent an hour typing this lol.
 
Solo dice que puede sobrescribir el concepto de las personas, no todas las personas e incluso todas las personas aún no lo han hecho tipo 2
In the same novel we are told that you can overwrite the concepts of people that you can only do to specific people does not affect the ability

Furthermore, in the requirement for type 2 concepts, the concept of human is stated as type 2. It is not necessary for the type 2 concept to be a concept that covers everything in the universe, So concepts such as sexual desire among others that define people if they qualify as type 2

Example: "Erasing the concept of human would erase all humans", "Erasing the concept of perversion would erase everything perverted" and "Erasing the concept of imagination would erase everything imaginary"
De todos modos, me perdí la parte de True DxD, así que está bien, pero nuevamente, nada del tipo 2 aquí.
This type of conceptual manipulation can only be obtained if the abstract concept itself is changed directly, and not by indirect methods. For example, destroying humanity and thus "ending the concept of humanity" would not qualify, while directly "ending the concept of humanity" and thus destroying humanity would qualify.

Apela a la realidad, en lugar de eso, trae evidencias del universo, hermano. Si traemos a colación un mito de la vida real, Ophis es una serpiente que se enrosca y se muerde la cola, un monstruo, no un dios dragón del infinito. El Gran Rojo es Satanás, que tomó la forma de un dragón en el Libro del Apocalipsis, seguro que no es un dios dragón de los sueños.
Bro, literally in volume 11 he tells Ophis the Ouroboros of mythology, they even say it appears in Norse mythology.

Also, what kind of example is that of the snake? Literally Vritra is a dragon and has the form of a snake among other similar dragons. He is also called the dragon god because he is a divinity.

If you know that Issei perfectly mentions the Book of Revelation, he even tells us a verse from the book and multiple times we are told that Great Red is the dragon that appears there?


Also, ignoring the entire environment and obvious religions that exist where they worship Ophis and Great Red, "appeal to reality" does not exist, it is something created in the scaling community, it is not an argument.
Cambiar de forma es solo cambiar de forma, no tiene nada que ver con el concepto. Y Azazel solo está hablando de su poder de infinitud. Nadie habla mucho de Gran Rojo.
Azazel says that Ophis constantly changes shape and that they call her the embodiment and personification of infinity, And nothing about Great Red??? They literally say that he embodies the entire extension of dreams

¿Qué inmortalidades le darían además de expandir su vida? Le dieron un aumento de poder y algunas resistencias como la resistencia al hax del alma de Grim Reaper ya que su alma es infinita ahora la guadaña del Segador ya no puede cosechar su vida.
It literally doesn't say that "dream turns all of Issei's vitality to 0: death" and infinity turns all of Issei's vitality to Infinite: resurrection" in addition to more types of benefits that come from these 2 concepts, in addition to the grim reaper thing, they literally tell you how Issei is infinite, they can't cut it, and type 8 immortality specifies that the user can have either 1 or more types of immortality.
 
-Ophis.
I agree with this.
I suppose it would be like this: Abstract Existence (Type 2 - Infinite - Embodies and Represents the Infinite)
As an extra in Ishibumi's Blog, he says that only when Ophis and Lilith fight together is their power Infinite.
二体が共に戦えば、その力は無限!= When the two fight together, their power is infinity!


-Great Red.
I agree, would be like this: Abstract Existence (Type 2 - Dream - Represents Dreams in All Their Forms).

-Issei
I don't know what to say, at first I thought about declaring myself neutral, but after thinking about it I agree but only for the concepts of Infinity, Dream and Breasts.
I suppose it would be like this: Abstract Existence (Type 2 - Infinite, Dream and Breast - Possesses Ophis' Infinity Power and Great Red's Dream Power, becoming an Embodiment of the Breasts.)

-Conceptual Manipulation of Ophis, Great Read and Issei

Great Red already has Illusion Creation and Dream Manipulation on his Vs Battle profile, which matches Ishibumi's blog where he is said to control dreams.

夢幻を司る = Controls dreams

In the same blog it is said that Ophis controls the Infinite.

無限を司る = Controls infinity

I think this reinforces Conceptual Manipulation, but I'm not sure what type of concept.
Type 1 requires that the concept be independent of the part of reality it governs. I think this could be Type 2, maybe Type 3.

-Resistance to Conceptual Manipulation (Issei)

Alphecca Tyrant's power seems more like Conceptual Manipulation (Type 3) to me.

As for the Resistance, I had my doubts at first but after rereading Shin Volume 4 I was convinced that it was, so I agree.

-Subjective Reality for Great Red and Issei.

I agree with this.

-Immortality
The gods of DxD already have Immortality (Type 4) but it is not applicable to combat due to the long time it takes to resurrect, Great Red and Ophis are gods so obviously they must also have it and by extension Issei.

I didn't agree with Immortality (Type 8) at first until I finished analyzing it and I think it's fine.

Posted
I will wait until you have prepared the things of the gods before speaking of them.
 
I'm glad someone thought of making a physiology page for the gods.
Before I give my opinion I want to mention something, in a previous thread about physiology pages I mentioned the idea that the power of the gods was of a sacred nature, you can see the argument here.
To that I want to add that in DxD it has been seen that the places of worship of gods that are not the God of the Bible seem to have the same effect as the Christian Churches on demons (mentioned in Volume 4, at the beginning of Volume 3 of Slahdog and in Volume Dx 7), there is also the fact that objects related to said gods also have a similar effect to sacred weapons (seen in Dx 2).

About the page itself. I agree with everything
I agree with giving Abstract Existence and Conceptual Manipulation to the gods, as I said Ophis and Great Red meet what is necessary to have Abstract Existence, they are gods and we have seen that many gods control that which they are gods over (Nyx, Erebus and Tartarus as an example).
About regeneration, clearly the gods must have Regeneration (Low-Godly) to recreate their body after it is destroyed when they resurrect.
As I said in a previous Thread I think that all the gods have at least Regeneration (Mid-Low), mainly because as I said it is not sure if Gasper's was only a thing of the Evil Gods and if Tartarus' was only a thing of the Primordial Gods. But after thinking about it I do not see why it would have to be so limited.
 
-Ophis.

I don't know what to say, at first I thought about declaring myself neutral, but after thinking about it I agree but only for the concepts of Infinity, Dream and Breasts.
I suppose it would be like this: Abstract Existence (Type 2 - Infinite, Dream and Breast - Possesses Ophis' Infinity Power and Great Red's Dream Power, becoming an Embodiment of the Breasts.)

The gods of DxD already have Immortality (Type 4) but it is not applicable to combat due to the long time it takes to resurrect, Great Red and Ophis are gods so obviously they must also have it and by extension Issei.

I didn't agree with Immortality (Type 8) at first until I finished analyzing it and I think it's fine.

I will wait until you have prepared the things of the gods before speaking of them.
I agree with this


Also great Red is God of dream not God of infinity I think you mistake add that in God Phys addition page

Nothing here proof that these gods embodies an abstract type two concept.

God of destruction /=/ A God that embody the universal concept of destruction.
But there's literally a precedent for it to be treated as such. With Ophis and GR being the most blatant examples, can you provide reasoning as to why what I said is invalid other than, "you're wrong"?

I literally gave you the logic that it isn't really correlated.

Ophis and Great Red represent abstract idea /=/ every gods in dxd represent concept.

This is basic logic in vs debate.

I would want you to give me an actual scan that said every gods are representing their concept.

Like this straightforward scan from Exalted.

Uh, no, the whole reason they are stated to be that way is because that's what they are the Gods of. Can you prove that there is a significant/meaningful difference between someone like Ophis and someone like Hades that would make this not the case? Because assuming that there would be some difference that'd make one embody the concept that they are the god of and not the other without any substantial evidence would be a bit of a nothingburger argument.

Yeah dude I don't need to make up some unnecessary hyper-specific piece of evidence for my point to be valid. I've shown enough correlation between Gods of X embodying the concept of X along with being able to wield and control X, that already demonstrates that what I proposed as being the case is more than likely true. The burden of proof is actually on you to prove that this is not the case rather than making me prove additional points.

Like, things of this sort are kinda just up to interpretation so expecting it to be stated in the most blatant and unquestionable way possible is kinda unrealistic. Especially when it's not a big focus. It's up to the reader to come to their own conclusion based on information provided 99% of the time.

What is your evidence that Ophis and GR are the same as other gods?

You literally want to apply these concepts to all gods from dxd. Extraordinary things need extraordinary proof, this is just association fallacies.

Here your premise:
- Dragon God Ophis represent idea of infinity and Great Red represent idea of dream, Ophis are called dragon of infinity and Great Red are called dragon of Dream.
-Therefore some random gods with prefix on them represent their prefixes.
-Literally missing causation that they (all gods, universally) should represent concept.

Missing causal link and doesn't correlate.

Have you learnt logic from philosophical class? Please say something that doesn't degrade my argument and make your argument look stupid.

Burden of proof is on you, for why these two dragon gods are the same as other gods. And wiki prefer PnA to be as detailed as possible, it wasn't enough.

Extraordinary haxs needs extraordinary proof, plus the one that you will literally apply to every gods in dxd.

Let's make a bet, majority of staffs would agree with my post here.
 
What is your evidence that Ophis and GR are the same as other gods?
Uh, they're all Gods, lol. And a large number of them have a title that they represent. It's not like I'm claiming that because Ophis can teleport, every other God can too. It's something that's shown amongst a large number of a relatively small group and is shown to relate with what they are at a pretty specific level, I heavily doubt that Ophis would be called the God of Infinity if it weren't for the abilities/traits (Representing/Controlling Infinity) that she possesses, being the same kind that Great Red, another kind possesses. (Tartarus with the Abyss, Issei with Miracles, and Hades with Skeletons as well) This points to a basis of reasoning behind the possession of those titles in the first place which is where the reasoning for it being something attributed to their divinity, proficiency with x, and embodying x stems from. From a logical perspective (and Occams Razor), it simply wouldn't make sense with all the context provided for it to just be an empty title.

I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to claim it as an association fallacy, especially since there is a lot of correlation which I explained earlier.
Here your premise:
- Dragon God Ophis represent idea of infinity and Great Red represent idea of dream, Ophis are called dragon God of infinity and Great Red are called dragon God of Dream.
Fixed that up a bit. And it's not just those two, there are 5 easy examples but those 2 are just the most blatant.
-Therefore some random gods with prefix on them represent their prefixes.
Yes because as I showed earlier, that representation is what grants them their title in the first place.
-Literally missing causation that they (all gods, universally) should represent concept.
erm... I think I gave one. If you need me to explain it again in a more detailed or simple way, I can.
Missing causal link and doesn't correlate.
I'm pretty sure I provided several earlier, at least, I definitely reiterated in this reply.

Uhhh, what?
Burden of proof is on you,
Nah
for why these two dragon gods are the same as other gods.
?

I'm not sure what this is referring to.

Uh, all of the "haxs" I described have proof, the basis of your argument is just that they don't apply so I'm a bit confused on what you mean by this lol

And sorry if I take a bit to reply, got other stuff going on as well. (PS: I'd be willing to compromise on the AE/CM stuff only applying to the characters like Ophis/GR with more direct statements, but only as a kinda last resort if Mods and Admins would deem it necessary.)

Association fallacy

This is when someone claims that since A (Ophis, etc) has certain qualities, and B (All gods) is in some way associated with A(Ophis and co as they are also gods), then B has those qualities as well (CM and AE), without actual proof of this (Proof are only at A side, not B).

Fallacy of composition

This is when someone states that if a certain condition is true for A, then it must also be true for any larger set that A is a part of.
From a logical perspective (and Occams Razor), it simply wouldn't make sense with all the context provided for it to just be an empty title.
Wouldn't make sense with all the context provided for it to just be an empty title /=/ These titles mean these guys have concept and AE.
I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to claim it as an association fallacy, especially since there is a lot of correlation which I explained earlier.
Look at my quotation about association fallacy and fallacy of composition.
Yes because as I showed earlier, that representation is what grants them their title in the first place.

Scan and detailed.

Kinda does when my reasoning was that the title is due to CM and AE in the first place lol. Like, feel free to disagree but the way I see it, there's two possibilities.
1. Ophis is called the God of Infinity because she embodies the concept of Infinity
2. Ophis embodies the concept of Infinity because she is the God of Infinity
In both cases, the components (Embodiment and Divinity) are undoubtedly true, but what's in question is what association the title has with the ability. And in both cases, they'd be inextricably linked and would create a connection between being the God of X and embodying the concept of X. And it would apply to Gods because they're all Gods.
Look at my quotation about association fallacy and fallacy of composition.
It's not an association fallacy because there literally is proof (the meaning of the title). And it isn't a Comp Fallacy because my argument never hinged on Ophis or Great Red specifically rather it was their titles that was my main argument.

scans.

I provided scans and a relatively detailed explanation for every claim that I've made so far? Idk what you mean.

Here the problem with each premise. And why it is a fallacy towards all gods having CM and AE.

Undistributed middle

This is a fallacy where someone makes an argument of the following form: "All contents of set A are also contents of set B. X is in set B. Therefore X is in set A." The opposite would be true, though.

Example: "Ophis and co who have CM and AE are gods. Hades is a god. Therefore, Hades have CM and AE."
"Ophis who titled dragon god of infinity have conceptual manipulation over infinity. Hades have title of God of Death, therefore Hades have CM over death."
This argument ignores the critical factor of whether all gods and divine titles have CM or not.

Overgeneralization

The argument asserts that all gods in the DxD verse follow the same rules (i.e., title = embodiment).

It's not an association fallacy because there literally is proof (the meaning of the title).
The proof are on the A (Ophis and co with their titles and CM) not the B (all gods and their titles) side. It is indeed an association fallacies.
This is when someone claims that since A (Ophis, etc) has certain qualities (Titles and their CM), and B (All gods) is in some way associated with A(Ophis and co as they are also gods), then B has those qualities as well (Title with CM and AE), without actual proof of this (Proof are only at A (Ophis and Co) side, not B (All gods)).
I provided scans and a relatively detailed explanation for every claim that I've made so far? Idk what you mean.
Did you not understand what "Extraordinary claim need extraordinary evidence"? It is that hard to comprehend?

You make an extraordinary claims that all gods with their titles have CM and AE. Therefore, you need extraordinary evidences that all gods with their titles have CM and AE.
 
This argument ignores the critical factor of whether all gods and divine titles have CM or not.
Uh, no because I addressed that earlier.

Overgeneralization

The argument asserts that all gods in the DxD verse follow the same rules (i.e., title = embodiment).
Ok but why wouldn't they tho, it's pretty unreasonable to assume that they don't and I believe that'd require a greater amount of evidence to prove.
The proof are on the A (Ophis and co with their titles and CM) not the B (all gods and their titles) side. It is indeed an association fallacies.
No, the basis of my argument was that the aspect of the title that I mentioned earlier should be a characteristic that applies to all of them because it wouldn't make sense for that not to be the case.
Did you not understand what "Extraordinary claim need extraordinary evidence"? It is that hard to comprehend?
Don't gotta be rude man, calm down, it is not that serious.
You make an extraordinary claims that all gods with their titles have CM and AE. Therefore, you need extraordinary evidences that all gods with their titles have CM and AE.
I mean, I wouldn't really say that you're in the greatest position to dictate how much evidence I need to prove something but k. If you disagree then that's fine.
 
Somehow i lost notification of this thread, then have notification again lol

i mean.........character A is stated to be God of Dream and he can manipulate Dream, doesn't mean Dream is a concept, of course dream is somewhat abstract in a sense, but that it, the site simply didn't just give conceptual manipulation because simply you have a character who is stated to be the symbol of this, represent of that, and manipulate said thing. Unless of course it drop a big word Concept on our face, but even then we can still debate it is just hyperbolic and not literal abstract concept that govern reality (tbf i dislike hyperbole argument but it is still valid case by case)

I mean, i understand what you think and why you reach such a conclusion, but it not enough according to how the site work at least

I think it's pretty clear cut but it's fine if you think it's debatable. Though I'd rather not get into another long discussion on the topic rn.

Since everyone's shared their arguments/sentiments, I think it'd be fine if we just waited for staff comments now for the final decision since going back and forth saying the same thing without anyone budging just makes things more difficult. Thanks to everyone involved in the thread as I'm glad to have constructive criticism.
I'll refrain from commenting further (aside from bumping the thread) unless something major arises.
 
To possess Abstract Existence according to the Wiki rules you need 2 things:
1) declarations of embodying a abstraction
2) Declaration or Feats that show that thanks to 1 you have Immortality/Regeneration OR control over the abstraction you embody.

Ophis
has declarations of Embodying and Representing the Infinite, we see that she has a regeneration that is attributed to her condition of being the Infinite and the author himself declares that she can control the Infinite. And it is because of this that she is often called "Dragon God of the Infinite".

Great Red
has a claim to Embody dreams in all their forms, demonstrates control over dreams and the author himself states that he can control dreams. And it is because of this that he is called "Dragon God of Dreams".

They are called that because they are Abstractions of what Gods are,

It is shown that there is a very clear relationship between being God of Something and the Embodiment of Something.

Great Red already has Dream Manipulation, with this we can see that Great Red really has Dream Manipulation via Abstract Existence/Conceptual Manipulation.

Just like Ophis must have Infinity Manipulation via Abstract Existence/Conceptual Manipulation.

that makes them Gods.

We see multiple examples of Gods controlling those over whom they are Gods
Nyx, Primordial Goddess of Night controls the Night
Erebus, Primordial God of Darkness controls the Darkness.
Tartarus Primordial God of the Abyss controls the Abyss.

because we would assume that their powers operate by different rules than Ophis and Great Red when everyone is a Gods..

One reason to deny this would be that they simply don't want to believe it.

Show me the scan specific that her regeneration is tied to Infinity and as long as infinity is there, she will always come back. And even then it is just Immortality type 8. Abstract Existence type 2 is a fancy immortality type 8 that reliant on an abstraction

Show me that Infinity is actual abstract concept that can govern the concept of infinity, define what infinity is then we talk

has a claim to Embody dreams in all their forms, demonstrates control over dreams and the author himself states that he can control dreams. And it is because of this that he is called "Dragon God of Dreams".
What does this matter again? Sure he can control dream and embody dream, but it is it, like dream manipulation perfectly fit, why it must be concept manip?

because we would assume that their powers operate by different rules than Ophis and Great Red when everyone is a Gods..
Association Fallacy

One reason to deny this would be that they simply don't want to believe it
Like seriously, there is no fact in here just assumption and leap in logic, your entire argument is just

1. Character A is said to represent B, embody C

2. Character A can control B or C

So B or C must be conceptual manipulation and character A must be abstract existence type 2

Sure we have similar trope among many profiles, fictions with similar line, but they have concrete evidences to show B and C is abstract concept

Sure you can believe whatever you want, but when all you have was personal interpretation and call others who did not agree with you is just they don't want to believe in your arguments is just........silly, no offense. Even verse that namedrop concept words can still be debated because non-qualifying concept like norminalism and idealism
