The World's Acausality

[Monarch_Laciel]

The justification for Dio's The World being acausal is that it ignores the effects of GER. This doesn't seem like enough of a justification for acausality to me, only for resistance to causality manipulation. Is it explicitly stated somewhere that the World transcends causes and effect? Because if not I think it should just be changed to having resistance to causality manipulation

Mate, pretty sure that one of the definition of Acausality IS "Resistance to causality manipulation".

Acausality = Resistance to Causality Manipulation

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Acausality is completely transcending cause and effect, being utterly immune to it, at least on the same level of existence.

Resistance to causality manipulation is just that, resistance to causality manipulation. Just because the World could resist GER doesn't make it acausal, it makes it resistant to causality manipulation.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

This would imply that everyone who is acausal is utterly immune to damage due to being out of the causality loop. This is clearly not the case.

 

[TheJ-ManRequiem]

He did more than just resist, he was completely immune and quite literally choked GER out and GER was helpless. DIO ain't acasual but The World is.

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

If acausality is transcending cause and effect and as you put it "being out of the causality loop", acausals should be immune to damage, but we ignore that logic step because reasons.

A person can be resistant to causality manipulation without being acausal. They are not the same thing. If you killed Dio in the past before he ever developed his stand, would the World still exist?

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Resistance to causality manipulation just means that they can resist someone messing with causality. And acausal being doesn't resist it, they ignore it because they are transcendent to causality.

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

He did more than just resist, he was completely immune and quite literally choked GER out and GER was helpless.

So it has very strong resistance to causality manipulation. That still doesn't make it acausal, because the two are not the same.

Being unaffected by GER's causality manipulation shows a strong resistance to causality manipulation.

Still existing in the present when killed in the past or something similar to that shows acausality. Has the World done this?

 

[TheJ-ManRequiem]

Who knows, it never happened, Kars didnt get BTD untill near the last chapter so it had no way of hapoening in story. But considering GER was fodderized to such an extent that im still taken aback by it. But The Worlds acasuality is weird since Dio isnt acasual while The World should be by all accounts, ya could possibly exploit that as The World and Dio are linked as theyre one in the same. Ya do have a point, im currently scanning through the novel so i could have an answer later, only thing of interest i found is Kars being abke to organically process and convert data though.

Resistance to Causality Manipulation is different than Acausality.

@Prom, thank you

Everyone else, I'm just questioning the justification of the World's acausality, especially if it is connected to Dio who is not acausal, seeing as is Dio is killed, that cause will result in the effect of the World also dying. Resistance to causality manipulation just makes more sense, seeing as the World is still dependent on Dio's existence. If the World does have a feat like being alive in the present after being killed in the past that is legit acausality, but just resisting GER is not.
