I'm making this crt to clean up the aftermath of a certain other thread that got completely derailed and then closed early
let me make this clear, the point of the thread is EXCLUSIVELY EE reistance and nothing else
now, let me explain the justifications this
and for reference
don't forget to READ EVERY ARGUMENT BELOW BEFORE REPLYING
if you can't debunk them all then you haven't disproved me, so don't even think about it
1. Starting with the most obvious argument, Zeno claims that the world must disappear, and unless you're gonna downplay and be like planetary zeno, it's clear that zeno, as a part of the universe, would be getting hit by the erasing attack as well.
also during that scene we see that he is most certainly completely covered in the erasing attack
we know it erases on contact because of the time machine just barely escaping, likely the authors indiciating that if they touched it before getting out in time they would have been erased
2. we know for a fact that the white balls on his hand are the exact same energy that erases on contact, because in dragon ball the energy of the attacks charging still have the properties of those attacks, such as when Goku literally slides on kefla's kamehameha. In addition to that, the white balls directly expand from zeno's hands during the zamasu erasure
and also uhhh
common sense probabbly kicks in at some point maybe not here sometimes though
as for some counterarguments that may be relevant
Argument: "the energy doesn't come from the white balls because it actually shows the light appearing going from the edge of the screen to the inside of it, so it didn't expand from zeno's hands and therfore is different"
Rebuttal: he's just erasing multiple places simultaneously, we already know he can do that because he literally erases multiple tournament of power fighters as well as their universes selectively, but we know for a fact that in the zamasu scene, at least at the beginning, it was expanding from his hand and when it initially reaches zamasu he reacts, indicating that the erasure light had started to affect him when it was expanding
Argument: he can selectively erase things, so he chose not to erase himself during the zamasu scene
rebuttal: ok and? we know for a fact that he wasn't being selective in that scene because he was erasing the ENTIRE WORLD (universe)
it is illogical to say that just because he can he did, when it's already PROVEN that he didn't. The fact is, Zeno should count as part of the universe, and it is supported by the fact that he visibly is "erasing" himself
Argument: Sidra gave a dog hakai energy or something and he didn't die on contact so it's not erasing on contact!
rebuttal: dog has EE res don't care, also he didn't actually touch the hakai energy anyways since we see that the 2 times that he makes it appear from his hand they're both fakes
Argument: well other dragon ball characters charging their attacks should hurt themselves, but it doesn't so zeno hbas no ee resistance because he's not touching it!!
Rebuttal: first of all whoever has this argument probably didn't read any of the above points but whatever
again, goku grinding on kefla's beam with a kamehameha proves that he was touching his own kamehameha and not being hurt by it
EE and kamehameha are different since one kills on contact while the other requires you to actually release it to do damage with it, so just touching a kamehameha is not goku taking most of the energy of it head on unlike the person he shoots it with
I really hope that by the time I come back I don't see a senseless baseless argument in the replies that I've already debunked
and I'm gonna be pissed if this thread gets derailed into "saitama self sustenance" or some shit and then gets closed for being too long
