Not what I was referring to. Just admit you don’t know anything about the series are just making it up as you go.
So you're asking me to lie huh? Sorry but I'm not Sailor Cosmos (apparently).... or you...
Lmao. Sure.
Still waiting for you to respond to the actual argument about the standards (which I know you have a very poor understanding of, for multiple reasons)
 
So you're asking me to lie huh? Sorry but I'm not Sailor Cosmos (apparently).... or you...
I don't know why you cling so much to a dialogue but okay. Sailor Cosmos asks Sailor Moon to destroy the Cauldron to prevent precisely the future of the Universe by annihilating the thing that controls the life and death cycle of the stars. And she doesn't mind it all disappearing, even though Sailor Moon tells her it will all disappear and Sailor Cosmos tells her to do it anyway because she'll regret it.

Then she simply refuses to do it and makes the same choice that Sailor Cosmos (her future self) made and that was always the right one. Sailor Cosmos herself admits that she was never wrong not to destroy the Cauldron and she herself states that "we can exist because this place exists."
 
I think its actually extremely suspicious why you refuse to post a summary if your arguments after 4 pages if back and forth.

None of that holds or follows from this scan

If she doesn't mind it all disappearing (which doesn't seem to be stated here anyway) why exactly is she talking about preserving the galaxy's future?

Not as suspicious as you entirely avoiding it for 4 pages while I've basically stated why it can't really be summarized any further. You've basically used any and all avoidance tactics to avoid even acknowledging it so don't you go on putting your dishonesty on me

Well, when in the next two scans they show that actually destroying the Cauldron, destroys the future. The "preserve the future of the Galaxy" thing is shown to be false.

That's easily explained away by Usagi's lack of knowledge on the Cauldron (which as @Iamunanimousinthat stated, she said that because no new stars would eventually lead to the galaxy dying out) compared to Cosmos, and even then immediate destruction is still not even a concern.
 
I was asked to comment. To my the biggest negative I see is that Cauldron being replaceable is basically a no-go for High 1-A+. High 1-A+ is the springing point of everything and under the current system, I don't think it can be swapped, at most just tapped into.

Beyond Dimensional Existence (Type 2)​

What I'm seeing for BDE is ultimately this section
Star Seeds are more than Physical or Non Physical Phenomena. The cosmos itself has a seed. Individual dimensions also have a seed. Chronos the God of Time is also living being and would be derived from the Cauldron. This means that the Cauldron predates space and time. It would also predate the Corridor of Space-Time which has no concept of distance or direction, without any flow of Time. The Cauldron also created the Silver Crystal, a Sailor Crystal, stated to transcend space and time, be utterly unhindered by the layers of time, cut through space and time, and again stated to transcend space and time. It also created the Dark Crystal which can warp all of spacetime. The Cauldron is not only the source of Space, Time, and Dimensions, but it also transcends them.
And the summary
  • The Galaxy Cauldron predates all matter, abstract and concrete material, possibility and potential, and time and space.
  • The Galaxy Cauldron transcends space and time and creates things and beings that also transcend space and time.
  • The Galaxy Cauldron is composite and all things are one with in it. Beings cannot enter or access the cauldron without facing annihilation and homogenization.
  • The Galaxy Cauldron has no definite size and contains endless possibilities.
Of these, all I only really see is the second justification. If it transcends time and space, along with lacking elements, you'd get BDE Type 2. But the sole usage of the word "transcends" comes from Silver Crystals transcending space-time on some level, but at the same time those tears come from the Cauldron, so it probably counts.

So I'm fine with BDE Type 2.

High 1-A+​


Reading through the thread, I'm ultimately more on the side of the dissenting viewpoint. The Cauldron doesn't have the level of untouchability that I think this tier requires. It's superior but not superior in the capacity that would give it High 1-A+. I think Low 1-A or 1-A is a justifiable alternative, even if there are issues with it at some points.
 
The fact that the universe can apparently survive without it, even for a bit, puts a dent into the claim above
I should've read more of the thread.

If the cauldron isn't a foundational element, as in if its existence isn't the prerequisite for existence, then you wouldn't have the evidence needed for transcendence for a Low 1-A or 1-A rating.

At most, it would just scale to the largest structure or the largest structure +1D, if that.

Does it really though, when the BDE page states that that's only viable for statements applied to the realms specifically? Not to mention 'transcending space time' in the context of the Silver Crystal is.... extremely vague to say the least since it doesn't even seem to have the range of the entire cosmology (the Cosmos crystal, for instance, has only been shown to have the range for its own universe)

Yeah that's the issue here, a structure like that ceasing to exist should IMMEDIATELY destroy the entire cosmology yet the galaxy itself will only one day no longer have the future

Objects that transcend time-space can also get BDE Type 1/2 for being above-dimensional structures. You do run into anti-feats, however, as unless you say everyone who handles those objects are also Low 1-A/1-A then they shouldn't be interactable by lower dimensional beings.
Not to mention 'transcending space time' in the context of the Silver Crystal is.... extremely vague to say the least
If it's just a generic "Above time and space" sure, but if they're conceptually above it, then it would count. Though going through the thread, I'm not entirely sure if the OP proved that point yet.

MeiouHades is completely wrong here and is taking things out context and obscuring the facts of the narrative.. The Cauldron is the most fundamental aspect of the entire verse. He's tired to argue that the Cauldron isn't foundational, but the Cosmos seed is. However the Cosmos Seed was created by the Cauldron and exists in the Cauldron, and is one with the cauldron as all things are one with the cauldron. The cauldron is more foundational than the cosmos seed.
 
The cauldron is more foundational than the cosmos seed.
If the cauldron is removed and the universes cease to exist when that happens, I think a higher tier is warranted. If the cauldron being destroyed doesn't result in the universe collapsing instantly, but it decays until a new one is formed that blows a hole through one of the main supporting items of the suggested tier.

I also have a small rebuttal, the cauldron is not swapped but rather regenerates on it's own or is reborn. And the power to destroy or affect comes from its' ownself. there isn't any power that doesn't come from the cauldron.
 
Also this part specifically irks me.

"Characters who lack spatiotemporal features entirely, while not actually being superior to them in nature. They are simply ontologically different from any dimensional construct, but can ultimately still be comparable to dimension-bound entities in terms of raw power."

You may ask where this is from, this is actually from the BDE Type 1 section. The statement you gave, lacking spatiotemporal features as your own statement states, is just BDE Type 1 at best. This also explains the extensive evidence you gave for its acausal nature, from the very next part of the section:

"Due to being aspatial and atemporal, they are obviously immune to conventional Spatial Manipulation and Time Manipulation, and since they are not part of the spacetime continuum, they usually have Acausality"
As I said, acausality doesn't help your case here anyway and is explained away by this.

Now, onto BDE Type 2 itself. Here's what the section starts with:

"Characters who exceed dimensionality, which may occur in the following ways"

As you can probably infer by yourself, lacking something is patently NOT the same as exceeding it or being entirely superior to it.

We can forget the first way to achieve it via a Von Neumann universe since that's not what you're arguing and focus on the second part instead.

"Through a qualitative superiority over lesser things, which is to say: Ontologically surpassing all the contents of a lower reality, and being above their physical composition and differentiation. Characters of this nature don't simply lack all physicality and composition (As in Type 1), but surpass it altogether, being of a wholly superior nature that is not reachable by lower states of existence."

This is the part where you haven't done the work unfortunately, especially given the sheer lack of relevant scans to support this. This claim of mine (of proving superiority to all of space-time, etc) isn't out of thin air as the very next section would show:

"As a default, statements of being "above dimensions" are set at Low 1-A, and the same is applied to statements indicating superiority over "All of space and time," and similar."

And there it is.... the exact thing you haven't done here. Not only do I see no statement of being "above all dimensions" (in this context, all mathematical dimensions and such, so no the Tau Star System alone isn't enough proof), you have also NOT posted a statement or proven anything that indicates being above "All of space and time" like the standard itself states. So yeah, this is why your "direct" statements aren't enough for me, because they simply don't follow the standard that you claim they do

Also, thinking more on it. There's actually not even a single statement of the Cauldron itself either transcending all of space time or being above all dimensions. you just stated that it does simply because it created the star seed for the Tau Star System and the crystal that supposedly transcends space-time, no evidence of such a statement for the realm itself among other things. Are you sure this isn't just a verse-specific creation mechanic, because that's exactly what it looks like to me especially given the size problems that are already an anti-feat on their own.
You also might wanna read this, I highlighted some issues here
Objects that transcend time-space can also get BDE Type 1/2 for being above-dimensional structures.
Sure, but the part about outright statement still only applies to the realms themselves according to the page unless I missed something?
You do run into anti-feats, however, as unless you say everyone who handles those objects are also Low 1-A/1-A then they shouldn't be interactable by lower dimensional beings.
Yeah, there's the issue. Not everyone who handles it is Low 1-A, and also at least two Silver crystals seem to exist, one in the future and one in the past
If it's just a generic "Above time and space" sure, but if they're conceptually above it, then it would count. Though going through the thread, I'm not entirely sure if the OP proved that point yet.
OP didn't, there is 0 mention of transcending space-time conceptually or lacking the concept of space, time and dimensionality entirely, which is what I told OP as well
 
If the cauldron is removed and the universes cease to exist when that happens, I think a higher tier is warranted. If the cauldron being destroyed doesn't result in the universe collapsing instantly, but it decays until a new one is formed that blows a hole through one of the main supporting items of the suggested tier.

The only evidence of the universe decaying comes from Sailor Moon's comment upon being asked to destroy the cauldron. However, at that time, Sailor Moon has not entered the cauldron or knows of the Cosmos Crystal. From her perspective, the cauldron just births star seeds. But once she enters it and meets Guardian Cosmos, she learns of the existence of the Cosmos Seed. We know for a fact that when the seed is destroyed, the form it gives, (this case the Cosmos) disappears immediately.

Also, keep in mind this destruction is all hypothetical, the cauldron is never destroyed and we are going off proposed statements. In the end Sailor Moon decides not to destroy the Cauldron and Cosmos states that no one can erase the cauldron.
 
I also have a small rebuttal, the cauldron is not swapped but rather regenerates on it's own
Not stated. It's stated that a new one pops up, no mention of regeneration whatsoever unless you prove it with a statement
or is reborn. And the power to destroy or affect comes from its' ownself. there isn't any power that doesn't come from the cauldron.
Yeah no, it took the combined power of all Sailor crystals even outside the Cauldron, the same crystals that are mere fragments of it

And therein lies the issue, not even the galaxy, let alone the rest of the cosmology, is implied to be instantly nuked anywhere

The sailor crystals are created by the Cauldron, and Sailor Moon called them out from the cauldron. What you are stating is false.

Is that why its destruction would ONE DAY lead to the ruin of the galaxy?
 
So you admit non-Low 1-A items can significantly affect it. Okay. When are you closing the CRT?
The power the crystals have comes from the cauldron, lower beings can affect higher beings if they are using the power of the higher realm. Also, for Low 1-A, this isn't applicable because it's still quantitative. Only 1-A is qualitative.

Is that why its destruction would ONE DAY lead to the ruin of the galaxy?
I have already explained this and you keep going back to this even though it's been repeated how many times. See here: https://vsbattles.com/threads/the-galaxy-cauldron-high-1a-upgrade.181002/post-7162402

And can you please allow @Qawsedf234 to respond before you spam the thread again?

Yeah no, you haven't proven or argued that all those objects are Low 1-A or even higher dimensional. Also, you dug yourself into a hole here. If all the crystals are Low 1-A objects how do you explain lower dimensional, normal beings being able to freely interact with them??

You've explained nothing here. The entire verse is screaming at you, telling you that the Cauldron's destruction won't even immediately collapse the galaxy yet you refuse to listen

It's superior but not superior in the capacity that would give it High 1-A+. I think Low 1-A or 1-A is a justifiable alternative, even if there are issues with it at some points.
I’m aware you changed your stance, but I’m confused on how “transcending space and time” within the context of the future and past grants anything. In this scan I have linked the raws. You can translate it real quick, and you’ll see the context of transcending space and time is literally referring to the future and past. Time travel shouldn’t have any bearing on tiering upgrades, so it should be important to highlight how time and space is being transcended here.
I should've read more of the thread.

If the cauldron isn't a foundational element, as in if its existence isn't the prerequisite for existence, then you wouldn't have the evidence needed for transcendence for a Low 1-A or 1-A rating.

At most, it would just scale to the largest structure or the largest structure +1D, if that.

If the objects in question transcend space-time in the context of lacking it entirely I could see how that could be BDE type 1/2, but that statement in question should not be enough to count since it’s literally in the context of time travel. That space-time corridor scan about them lacking the concept of distance is unrelated to the cauldron (even then there’s some context missing about that, but I won’t delve deep into that unless asked).
 
To help keep this thread from stalling or falling into an endless back-and-forth, I think the best approach would be to summarize both positions in a single message and wait for more staff input.
Yeah, at five pages it's getting long enough that a lot of new people would struggle to keep up.

It doesn't. But at the same time I also explained my stance here
If it's just a generic "Above time and space" sure, but if they're conceptually above it, then it would count. Though going through the thread, I'm not entirely sure if the OP proved that point yet.
If it's above a timeline or time travel, that's not the same as conceptual transcendence.

This is untrue. Also the translation, uses surpassing which aligns with what the DBE page says.

They are posting the raw, because the official english scan which has been proven to be accurate doesn't mention anything they are saying. In fact in the very seen, it is stated that the silver crystal can create a paradox that will destroy all of reality.
