Yan Sen Plot Manipulation Removal

wait wtf
Henry is the one with plot manip, it’s just that Yan sen is stronger than his plot hax

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I mean, I said it on the first page. If people want to change "plot manipulation with Creation" with instead "Creation (on a narrative level), I'm fine with it.

I suppose someone could make the argument that Yan Sen stated that "he would change Henry's character design" of being undefeated/invincible, but eh.
 
It doesn’t indicate plot manipulation it just means Yan sen can create another Henry on the same level as the original.
Yeah, and that he created the very "character design" that is fundamentally different from the superpowers we've seen.

The story is about Henry being the strongest superhero => Yan Sen can create X amount of Henry's despite the aforementioned truth => He can even win against Henry => It needs to have some sort of metafictional element. Be it plot or creation on a narrative level, I'm fine with both.

His plot manip is the one that gives him his RE to begin with, you can't have one without the other, specially when you consider that accepting that Yan sen has creation on a plot level, that means his designs are also powered by plot, those designs are the thing that give him his RE

I didn't understand the bolded part, but yeah, Yan Sen had to recreate Henry on a metafictional (character design) level to actually match the real character, otherwise it would've been useless.

He created another Henry with the same ability to develop infinitely against an opponent. That’s how the battle was a stalemate. Creation alone seems reasonable for that.

I explained above that this is the working mechanics of the plot. I guess you ignored it.

Yeah, and that ability (RE) comes from a metafictional element (Character design). Yan Sen NEEDS to interact with it in some way to actually replicate Henry. Especially with the fact he wasn't even aware about what was a "character design" at the beginning of the fight.

Plot => "Henry is invincible and is the strongest superhero, that's how he was designed"

Yan Sen comes in => There are now multiples Henry's overwhelming the OG Henry => Henry ends up losing against Yan Sen.

Similarly, since Henry is protected by his character design, Yan Sen can't kill him.

Do you think that right now, the power of creation is exactly on the same level as plot manipulation?
 
Reactive evulation?
Yeah Henry plot manipulation should be removed and replaced with it or Accelerated Development.
Henry is invincible and is the strongest superhero, that's how he was designed
“In this place”. His character design is an infinite power to overtake his opponents.

Stalemate.
 
When you say creation (on a narrative level), are you saying that this power is at a level that can affect the plot?
I'm saying that Yan Sen can copy/recreate the character intrinsic definition. Saying it can "affect plot" is a bit weird, but at least, he would be able to recreate someone on a narrative level.

That's a good enough explanation. This feature will serve him well enough as a plot device, at least.
 
What? He mentions that he will always become stronger than the opponent, you are just pulling headcanons out of thing air
How is that him using the “plot”. That’s just his “setting” aka his infinite power to overtake an opponent. The wiki states that Plot Manipulation is the “ability to create, destroy, or control the plot that governs reality”. Henry states that “he is the setting his setting is invincible”. Yan sen then states the setting means an infinite power to overtake his opponent. Idk how yall got plot manipulation from him just overtaking his opponents.
 
We should just wait for staff, really, this is just useless back and forth here. Everything has been said from both side, let's spare ourselves from wasting time.

Goddamit, I had already explained it like three times at this point
 
I have no idea why this topic has become so unnecessarily protracted

1- Henry says that no matter what story his opponent is from, he will always be infinitely more powerful than his opponent and the reason for this is the setting (the story). Henry had this power even when he was born, in his childhood and youth he killed other gods and brought peace to the universe, the only difference from other people was that he was the main character of the story and the story always made him the most powerful.

2- Not only did it make him infinitely superior to his rival, it also prevented Henry from dying. As you can see in the scan, YanSen said he couldn't kill him. At the same time, Henry tried to kill himself but couldn't because the Plot was working against his will.

3- Yan Sen can create and control Henry clones with the same powers as Henry, which means he can use all the abilities Henry has.

4- Even if the story made Henry invincible, his power was useless against Yan Sen and he lost.
