Maybe. I'd lean towards more to all of them having possibly higher, as stated prior, but this could work

Either that or "possibly higher".

sliiides ‘Tank Top Master speed upgrade?’ here again

Mkay. I think ‘possibly 7-A+‘ would make more sense since either way, it would be scaling above Gouketsu. I feel like leaving it to ‘possibly higher’ would just make people question why he isn’t 7-A+.

He should probably be upgraded.

We're not doing any more CRTs until the current two are actually applied.

I really doubt she’s shown her peak, she barely been trying at this point.

There's an argument to be had about what is meant by "powerful". EC and Rover aren't the most offensively powerful high dragons but they have very impressive durability. I would recommend upgrading EC's and Rover's durability to 7-A, but having their overall tier be: "7-B, possibly higher", since their durability is their best aspect and what would most likely scale to Gouketsu. Unless Fuhrer Ugly or Gums surprises us with a 7-A feat, of course.

I still don't think we should be scaling anyone besides Orochi to Gouketsu.
It is too speculative.

There is a statement that there are multiple monsters in the MA are just as strong as he is.
- 4,037

Well, we know that there are monsters as strong as Gouketsu in the MA, just not who those monsters are. If any monsters do get 7-A feats that do not surpass Gouketsu's, I think it will be fair to scale them to him. That of course is speculative and may not happen. I do think that his statement justifies a "possibly higher" for the strongest MA cadres though.

No it's in the Season 2 Compus Guide. It states that there are many monsters "just as strong as Gouketsu" in the Monster Association.
- 4,037
- 2,843
Here, it's this statement on page 38:
"He (Gouketsu) declared that there are more monsters within the association that are easily as strong as him"
- 31,587
- 28,044
That's referencing the exact page I posted, no?.
- 12,319
- 11,261
Answer this, pls
- 4,037

No, it wouldn't seem that way. The manga statement is talking about the existence of multiple monsters stronger than Bakuzan, this statement is claiming that there are "more monsters as strong as Gouketsu"- it must be referencing the anime or just adding a new statement in there.
- 31,587
- 28,044
If it is referencing something potentially non-canon then it becomes a lot more questionable to scaling the monsters based on that.
- 1,013

Now that I'm re-reading the statement I don't even think it's referencing the manga statement. It's mostly a character bio and at the end it says: "He (Gouketsu) declared that there are more monsters within the association that are easily as strong as him".

It was said earlier in the thread that the stuff in the anime guidebooks was said and approved by ONE and Murata, so I think it should be taken as canon especially since the anime and OVA's were looked over and approved by ONE and Murata (which was also shown earlier in the thread).

They did go to the trouble of interviewing ONE for the guidebook and they've included the original sketches ONE made for the OVAs as well, making these guidebooks canon in part. Did they say ONE had approved all the statements within the guidebook?

I thought that was the case. I could be wrong.

Who's doing the research to find out if all of the statements in the guidebook were approved by ONE?
- 4,037
- 2,843
Well... perhaps someone here already knows that? There are a few people who read the guidebook back to front, myself included (but I can't remember if/where was specified lol). Does anyone know off the top of his head? If not, we'll just have to read the whole thing through and look around for possible outside context.

ONE said in the interview in the guide that he looked over the scripts of the anime and chose which lines stayed in and which were cut. The director said the same thing, and he also said that the OVA's were created from ONE's ideas and sometimes ONE just came up with an idea and they went with it.
I don't know if there was any confirmation of the guidebook being canon (I see no reason for it not to be), but I only skim read and didn't read every page of the guidebook, so I could be wrong on that.
