Other than that, such as tier 1 experts about dimensional tiering or standards behind metafictional thing @GreatIskandar14045 has give his input and agree as well.

Dread.... okay. But my point still stands, the description towards 'protagonist', 'fate-value', 'looking at the fate script', 'meta-story' is a movie metaphor to makes the explanation sounds intresting. Since Aoi has explain in detail about it, and she use "if" as a connotations for metaphor, also after that she use 'to keep the movie metaphor' which is indeed implies you can't take it as a literal, but contextual as a variations of fate stuff. Even the "raw" (you may scrool above, my friend @WanderingGecko has explained the furigana behind "script" as only means to look at, or a bird-view stands).Actually, I want to be fair to both sides of parties and announce my neutrality in this thread, I only agree with some of your points which are:
While later on, I want to listen what others say about it (I asked some verse supporters, and they are also confused with this)
- There are no solid evidence of them becoming worldview holders (the plot manipulators)
But I only disagree with some of your points, which are
But notwithstanding, I will stay neutral due to one of your points which is efficacious in my point of view, but I also dissent with some other counter-arguments.
- “Metaphoric”, while the author used more than one metafictional elements
- “They did not mention Plot”, ya plot is not the only metafictional element and there are no standards for which term should author used to express it.
- “He views fate as script, so it does not count!”, plot manipulation can be “fate manipulation” if it is made through metafictional setting
- “There are no limitations”, as other staff said, this does not exist.
The author used over 5 metafictional elements and also used movie to describe the world. I mean, I won't be strict and call it metaphoric, if the person views such those, it is more reality-fiction transcendence view point (not even a requirement). He even called fate as script. If you are much perfectionist about it, sure thing, but I would rather go to what the author at the end wants.Dread.... okay. But my point still stands, the description towards 'protagonist', 'fate-value', 'looking at the fate script', 'meta-story' is a movie metaphor to makes the explanation sounds intresting.

Sounds different POV, I assume? I mean, it is fair to have such POV, but also the amount of description he added, I won't call it any more metaphoric. It is metaphoric if it was a sentence out of nowhere. But he added a good amount of details.The problems that makes me convinces myself is because of that elements, they are only means to act as a movie metaphor. Even the next volume such as volume 4, when Yogiri fought with Yumisaka (if I recall the name right), the overall reality manipulation of that fictions literally explains to manipulate future, and that person is much powerful than Aoi, who is the weakest sage in sense.
I agree with this point, after re-reading everything, I am wondering which argument is for it to be world-view Holders. But I will leave this for the person who did it and also the staff who approve it (maybe I will read the thread once again to understand it, but you have a good point on this, I must admit)Ok. I believe Aoi and Yogiri has no means to be a World-View Holders, as far as I read both of them. What only in commons is they are from the same author. But never really crossed-out in a crossover or using a same power-concept.
It is metafiction work. I mean, for me, when the author describes the whole reality as “a movie” in a storytelling direction, I won't doubt if it is taken literal.Also, what "if" and "movie metaphor" means to you when Aoi explain that? Are you sure you can take it in literal?
(Which I’m positive is also in the LN described as the ability to drag others into her world)
"This is all just what I was told, so I don’t know all the details, but the point is, every person has their own world,” Tomomi said. “And while every person has their own world, the broad outlines are predetermined, and there are central figures who are like the personification of a given worldview. Those people are called Worldview Holders.”
“And they decide the rules of the world?” Yuichi asked. It all sounded pretty absurd to Yuichi. People like that would basically be called gods.
“They aren’t necessarily doing it consciously,” Tomomi said. “But the worldviews of the people around the Holder are strongly influenced by the Holder’s own. As a result, the world around a Holder will cohere into one the Holder recognizes. Of course, there are a lot of Holders out there, which means you sometimes wind up with conflicting worldviews coming into contact. When that happens, it’s called a World Conflict, and the weaker world is integrated into the stronger one.”
These scans I'm posting are not directly for plot manipulation for Aoi, it's supporting why Aoi is a Worldview holder. And Worldview holders are plot manipulators according to people on the NWC side of things.What these scans are describing sounds like Subjective Reality and maybe Fate Manipulation, where's the plot stuff in any of these?
- Plot Manipulation: Worldviews are the idea that everyone lives in their own world, and there were as many worlds as there were people. Worldview's refers to the laws governing a given world. Due to being a Protagonist, Ryoma could enter any worldview, the plot itself would always favor Ryoma and he ultimately would always succeed in any worldview he was in. Ryoma later learned how to control the plot itself which he does using 5 cards, he calls event cards. Using his ability to manipulate the plot, Ryoma can also manipulate the principles of causality themselves.
Those are the explanations on Worldviews, I didn't really read that series though so I can't really argue against whether or not WV are Plot Manipulation tbh.
- Plot Manipulation Yuichi's worldview is a worldview that fuses with the worldviews of others, creating new worldviews, with his worldview absorbing the others worldview. In Yuichi's worldview he is invincible as there will always be a chance that he can win, and as long as there is a chance he can win, he will always win. Yuichi is The Last One Standing: Humanity’s Line of Defense, Guardian of the human-centric world we currently live in, Yuichi fights against those who attempt to upend the world order and rework it to be centered around gods and mythical creatures, as such his world view encompasses the entirety of humanity. Even Ryoma who was protagonist, and could enter any worldview and become the protagonist of that worldview and as such the plot would always favor him, leading him to gain convenient power ups or his opponents committing CIS, was easily defeated by Yuichi due to Yuichi's role in his story being greater than Ryoma's. The ability is passive as it fuses with and overpowers any worldview of the people that he encounters, and Yuichi isn't even aware of his ability.
Elizhaa makes sense to me. So, I disagree with the OP.Okay.
@Elizhaa @Celestial_Pegasus @CrimsonStarFallen @Oblivion_Of_The_Endless
What do you all think about this?
We should note that Aoi's explanation of seeing Yogiri as it really is, she refers to Yogiri as "the end of all destinies" [ 1 ], and the words that carry "plot" [ 2 ] have no coherence because they do not act as our standard definition of plot, we define "plot" as a fundamental aspect that sees reality as fictional. Aoi is not like that, the point where she sees fate as a "script" is directly explained by her as a "movie metaphor" [ 3 ] which means a metaphor only, and in her explanation includes "if" [ 4 ]. A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. And here Aoi's explanation to Yogiri that "plot" can be interpreted like that. And also officially based on the novel, plot is never 'mentioned' [5] anywhere but only correlated fate so as our standard that prioritises the primary source, here LN is better to believe in a way that if you think about it, the "plot" included in the manga is not explained anymore into what form, not even into a fundamental form so we cannot arbitrarily say like that.The plot term is separated when Aoi is described as fate/destiny, plot, and the like as being a joke to Yogiri's true form, in the LN raws; so, I see it is possible they are different from the evidence above, and make less sense if they are metaphors, especially when they are shown as separated in some key instance.
The raws used above:
Besides, plot manipulation can emulate other abilities like fate, according to the page:
The case above could also apply to Yukimasa regarding plot manipulation.
- Users may be able to determine how things will proceed by writing into the plot what is going to happen (emulating fate, causality and/or probability manipulation).
Aoi's inability to erase the dragon is more of the mechanism of her worldview, and she still could affect the dragons, as Overlord explained; the plot usage is judged on a case-by-case basis, so it could be just her usage, and it is not necessarily a counterpoint for removal. It seems like the point is indirectly using NLF by saying because the ability has limits, it should be removed, similar to what Theglassman12 said.
The scan above shows Aoi's ability drags others to her internal world like Worldview.
I think the opposition points make more sense.
Dropping these since this is interesting reference.
Aoi ability described her ability as "Cruel World That Only Reward Effort."
And someone in Nee-chan with Worldview also has almost the same ability.
- Both series are made by the same author.
- Both series take place in the same verse.
- All Japanese (Yogiri, Tomochika, Shion, and possibly all other Sages which would include Aoi) came from same universe as Nee-chan. This is evidence by reference thrown by both sides of story.
So indeed, both series correlate.
Zen-Oh's powers aren't described, shown, stated, and named all extremely similarly to Arale's powers.The point is we can't do a hasty generalization fallacy just because it comes from the same author. For example Arale from Dr Slump who is on the same setting with Dragon Balls, you can't claim Zen-Oh has a same hax capability like her (plot hax, HDM stuff) just because they are from the same setting, and Zen-Oh consistenly called as the King of All and the strongest that can erase everything including U7 existence which Arales stand in.
They did share the same setting. Dragon Ball Super crossover, Dragon Ball kid cameo, and Dragon World map where it puts Arale's home saying everything. The value here, by using a logic of you guys, Zen-Oh would had a way to neg a plot hax because he can erase everything. And Arale who holds no capability to face him by same setting means will get affected as well.Arale and Zenō do not share the same setting in that sense. It's a complicated situation and it'd be a false equivalence.
At this point you're being ignorance. I've prove everything as misinterpretations, right now you guys just doing a hasty generalization by the same setting lol.Other than that, i disagree with the OP for Elizhaa and the other's reasoning.
Actually, this is just in: someone pointed out to me that Aoi’s system ability is clarified to be her Hero Killer Eyes.
Her Hero Killer Eyes are the Sage ability she was given. Just World isn’t her system ability. So to make things worse(?) her ability has no apparent relation with Instant Death’s common power-system on top of being explained as a worldview-working ability.
“Aoi had two main powers, Hero Killer Eyes”I hope you can read it again,
