I'm aware. Other verses being brought up are purely due to users (or just me) looking for consistency with how these standards are being applied. Seeing verses with souls/spirits being affected by gravity (ergo having mass) yet still have characters (e.g. Aizen, Zamasu) with Godly regeneration puts this strict standard in question, since there are similarities between the cases still being tied down to certain physical property, despite both having properties of not being physical as well.Also, what we do with other verses isn't relevant, clearly I may end up disagreeing with the logic for those ones, too.
It can apply to magic/magicules, it even sounds similar to how Reishi works in Bleach. I just don't believe souls are physical constructs which is what it is going to be treated as a fact within the profiles should the downgrade to High happens.Some sort of matter that operates on completely different non-physical rules is at once different from gases or whatever other comparison you could make, and still not appropriate for Godly unless it had no physical component such as mass whatsoever.
The thing is information particles being mentioned as having "mass" was only ever mentioned once. While non-physicality, non-corporeality and all other similar iterations of the descriptions of those states have been a thing again and again since the first volume until the eleventh. With that, it's quite clear, IMHO, that souls and spirits in TSSDK has never been meant by the author to be physical, and it was never treated as physical in the first place.Things not making sense because the idea that information or whatever could have mass is absurd is true, but if the story presents that as such what are we gonna do about it? Ignore the story's mechanics because they're weird?
Magicules/magic atoms are not really considered as Godly regeneration in the first place.Not to say with total certainty that information / magic particle regeneration absolutely does not qualify for any sort of Godly regeneration,
I've already stated that information particles isn't a separate fundamental aspect of existence, hence not High-Godly.
Godly regeneration stems from characters reforming after having their souls destroyed.
I'm not saying Kagali's possession proves Godly regeneration. My point is that Kagali's consciousness was quite clearly separate from their physical manifestation, since their physical body was destroyed at that time. It's an example that souls =/= physical construct.Not to mention, possession occurs with non-Godly regenerators all the time
I have not uttered the praise "but that's weird" ever in my comment, that argument hasn't been mentioned until now. Saying it "doesn't make sense" however is a valid argument when it stems from how souls/spiritual forms aren't physical as described in-universe since day 1.If a verse presents consciousness and willpower as ultimately physical in some sense, that's how it is in that verse and applying any sort of 'but that's weird and doesn't make sense' logic is just pointless. Again, not to say that this is 100% the case here, but if it is, any argument relying on 'but that's weird' is bullshit and irrelevant.
