Wow he took his life away but that’s not a soul like when you lose your soul you don’t turn into a skeleton lol you would just be a lifeless corpse
so like I said I don’t think souls are ever stated to actually exist in opm
- 4,168
- 1,145
Proof it’s a soul ? Was it stated to be one ? if so where ? how come when anyone else dies in the series a spirit or ghost doesn’t come out of their body
- 4,168
- 1,145
That’s life force absorption not soul stealing lol if you take someone’s soul they don’t become a skeleton they would just be a lifeless corpse

he can do both.
confiscate both his physical and astral form
- 4,168
- 1,145
and your proof of this is where exactly? Show where it’s ever stated god steals peoples souls or that they exist in opm
- 5,133
- 1,263
“forfeit” is all that stands.
- 4,168

That doesn’t mean soul lol nothing about that scene implies he’s doing anything to a soul which again I don’t is ever confirmed to exist in opm in the first place

There's that crt that Quangotjokes made above, talking about the monsterization of body and soul.
But it becomes a complicated discussion if the kanji used is 精神.
Because that sentence could be talking about body and mind or body and soul.
It depends on the context of things and how it's inserted.
- 4,168

Ok but a crt doesn’t make it exist either unless it’s outright stated souls exist in OPM then they don’t so do you have that statement
Monsterization doesn’t even have anything to do with the soul it has to do with the spirit and "Spirit" is analogous to will that’s the key to it like the crab dude who loved crab so much he turned into one etc
Body and mind not once ever implied to be soul like a spirit residing in people’s bodies if souls existed in opm it would’ve been stated outright that stuff exists it’s always implied to be mind/will power that’s the entire concept of OPM
Works like this unless it’s outright stated to exist in opm it doesn’t exist and we can’t give characters souls either unless it’s confirmed to exist which is a good thing anyway as it means opm characters would be resistant to soul hax cause they would have no soul

I remember a statement like "it's like my soul is lifted from my body" or something like that. do anyone remember it?

I haven't read OPM in like 2 years, so bruh.
Funny how I barely missed any of the story hahaha

Dude, you didn't understand what I said.
- 9,190
- 5,606
Besides you not really understanding what I said, in vsbattle we treat that everyone in any verse has a soul, unless a negative is spoken within that x verse.
So even if the word is never cited in vs, it is not broken for indexing purposes or vs threads.
- 4,168
- 1,145
What are you even talking we don’t treat any verse has a soul that’s the most goofy ah take I’ve ever heard we don’t give things to people they don’t have it’s like throwing a character with no magic in their verse into like fairy tail and being well he has magic now we aren’t going to say a dude with mind hax can mind hax an ai or robot as they have no mind
Souls aren’t even confirmed to exist in real life giving someone something they don’t have just so another character hax can work on them isn’t how it vsdebating works lol

Cool but you can’t assume to have one by default souls don't have any evidence of existence IRL let alone in every fictional setting This is the equivalent of saying every character should be assumed to have magic by default just because some verses do or any other fictional setting does every verse have haki what about ki from db naruto bleach etc every series doesn’t have each other power system just because some verses have this magical supernatural concept doesn’t mean everyone does

VSBattle basically treats any organic character as having a soul.
We don't give any soul hax resistance to a verse or character because the concept of a soul is not mentioned.
You don't see any organic character winning this kind of thing, and in vs threads it is treated as if they have a soul.
Basically the only exception are inorganic beings (Example: robots) as I mentioned.
Irrelevant, that's how vsbattle deals, so that's how it is.

you can’t treat them your giving something to someone who doesn’t or isn’t confirmed to have it which you can’t do we don’t do we aren’t they author we can’t say what the characters have unless they actually have it otherwise it’s no longer the character and just a fanfiction version of one

Souls in general are super natural concepts no different then any verse power system chakra haki ki magic etc we don’t give every character in fiction the same power system you can’t pick and choose there are no exceptions to assume they have it is flat out making up abilities they don’t have or shown to have
- 4,168
- 1,145
I didn’t know it existed but yes this is very flawed as your just making up abilities people have at that Point like we don’t assume every verse in fiction has magic just because some do there’s no difference between magic and a super natural concept like souls

I understand you may be an atheist, but with verse equalization for matches either you nerf the character with soul hax or assume their opponents have whatever equivalent spiritual energy baseline entities are held to have in that verse unless explicitly stated. If you have certain religious convictions that make the term 'soul' upsetting to you then you could call it 'animating principle' or whatever have you.
The logic that absence of proof for souls existing in a verse means proof of absence for matches would also have to mean that if a character like Garou who has a copy ability were to fight a character with ki and chakra abilities, he would simply be unable to do so, despite the fact that if he were a regular sentient creature in those verses he would naturally have both power-systems present. It's a two way sword and it's simply easier to assume souls are a factor unless explicitly stated.
We could of course also have a long debate about religion and scientific reasoning but that would suck, so let's not

Cheev just pull out the encyclopedia of OPM mysteries and tell him how you know it's a soul. The section on souls in OPM is right between the entries on who the mad cyborg is and why god is in trouble for tax fraud.
Lol, you already know it's a blatantly supernatural element so we don't need to explain it. I mean we also have tanktop magic bringing people back to life, Phoenix Man literally reanimating dead corpses by shouting passages from the Bible in Aramaic, the Arc of the Covenant appearing in the volume art that one time, Atlantis, a guy called "God" sending people visions and trying to resurrect from beyond regular space time, Phoenix Man slowing time within a dimension of his own creation (maybe spiritual maybe mental) and Saitama astral projecting into said dimension.
Let's not get carried away and start suggesting that a transparent image of a dead Garou appearing in an alternate timeline might be a ghost though. That would be implying something that almost certainly couldn't exist in OPM. Oh, and ignore the fact that Zombieman claimed to have visited the Shinto underworld after Homeless blasted him one last time and to this day I'm not sure if he was joking

even One hundred years of solitude has souls, like the book states that things have soul and people have souls, remedios the beauty ascended to heaven "in body and soul"
