Zen'o Existence Erasure

Not open for further replies.
How do you figure/prove that, since you keep making that argument? Anyway, I won't keep on if such talk is derailing this thread, with which I agree with UMR on most points.
 
It would cause an enormous neverending backlash if we consider destroying separate universes as a Low 2-C feat for Dragon Ball only, especially considering how much more powerful Zen'o is supposed to be compared to other characters.

We should probably consider the universes to be separate in something akin to the classical sense, even if the practical space-time mechanics are not explicitly spelled out to not overcomplicate an action-oriented all ages show. Also, if the afterlives are separate continuums, the universes likely are as well. Displaying the universes side by side in a 3-D manner is probably done for simplicity of visualisation, rather than scientific accuracy.
 
Okay, that makes enough sense, and I understand the reasonings behind his rating better, although I personally am still inclined to believe that infinite 3-D universes on a 4-D plane makes more sense cosmologically, as those "bubbles," could be represented by how the many universes were shown, and I am relatively certain that the universe has been called infinite in size before by official sources, though this is all besides the point.

Has there been any official consensus on the topic of the thread, though?
 
I do not know what the consensus is. Sorry.

However, I mentioned my views on the topic earlier.
 
Prove that? Wasn't it outright stated heaven is seperated from the mortal universe and time flows differently there in Z? And even further that hell is seperated from heaven even further.

ultimately depends on wether or not we take this as AP or Erasure.

as the basis for his durability is the fact he recieved the same energy he released.

He either as resistance to exitence erasure on a tier 2 scale, or he has durability on the same scale.
It's erasure.

@Amexim

Zeno has no AP/Dura/etcfeats, regardless of what makes sense, + he's not stated to be a fighter.
 
When we first saw Zeno, Beerus said to Goku - "Zeno-sama can destroy all 12 universes in the blink of an eye."

I'll check to see if the word "hakai" was used in the sentence, just to be sure.

It looked like Zeno charged up energy balls to destroy the future Trunks' timeline.

During Goku vs Bergamo in the Zen exhibition match, GP said - "Zeno-sama will erase all the universes immediately."

Also, the term "wipe out" was used by Herms in one of the translations iirc.

Well, just putting it out there. I think he can do both. I am not sure what the consensus is.
 
Him not being a fighter means little. It just means he's not a fighter, like don't expect him to outskill anyone or do some crazy techniques, not that he's weaker than everyone in raw stats. He's still untouchable by basically everyone.

Yeah he has zero feats, but nobody bar Frieza and gods have planet busting feats, powerscaling exists for a reason.
 
Well, as I mentioned earlier, perhaps we should place a note that Zen'o has only been demonstrated to use existence erasure against lower rated beings, if it has been a problem during versus matchup discussions?
 
That shouldn't be a note to be honest. The problem isn't the hax. It seems to be a tiering thing. We shouldn't just place a restriction on an abiity like this unless stated otherwise.
 
I mean, nothing prevents people who are knowledgeable about Zen'ō from saying "Hey remember, he never erased other 2-C's!"

For example, Madoka Kaname doesn't have a note for her soul manipulation just because she never affected another 2-A with it. People simply don't use that particular power as an argument
 
But should we put restrictions on a move that is not only a subset of Void Manipulation, but Durability Negation as well? That like literally ruins the point of all characters with these abilities.
 
Okay. Never mind then.

Perhaps we should close this, yes.
 
@Dragon

Not sure if i'm getting what you mean, but "You need a feat in order to have your hax working against a comparable being" has been a rule for quite a long time
 
When you start dealing with literally infinite gaps, it kinda is (actually hasn't Zen'ō erased Zamasu who is 4D?)
 
If he has a legitimate feat of erasing another tier 2, I don't really see what's the issue about people using it as an argument. If his best erasure feat was, say, erasing Frost, it would indeed be NLF to say that he can erase other tier 2 characters, but it doesn't seem to be the case here.
 
Saikou's argument is that Zeno never displayed destructive power, since all we've seen from him was existence erasure .

Goku: "Does that mean he's the strongest?"

Whis: This

Beerus: Zeno isn't a fighter.

The message they're conveying seems pretty clear. We've only seen Zeno erase entire universes, so when Zeno can erase Frost before he can attack Frieza, there's no need to fight. Especially Whis's statement on the Grand Priest's fighting abilities. Trying to say Zeno physically scales is grasping for straws imo. The only solid info we have on him is speed and the power of his existence erasure.
 
So you think that we should keep him at 2-C, but change his durability to unknown?
 
^ You can't indiscriminately slap this argument on everyone in the verse. It happens to be the case since everyone follows the same character form of flying physical fighters who throw ki blasts, but this clearly isn't the case for Zen'o, who neither fights or use regular Ki attacks it seems.
 
Also Babidi is an example of that being false, with durability being short of paper, yet generating a forcefield that could hold out against Majin Buu.

This^, plus he sealed away Majin Buu in the first place. If this wasnt the case Buu could literally stare and both Babadi and his power would be overwhelmed due to the sheer gap.
 
Imo he should be

New ability: resistance to existence erasure

Resisted his own attack which is the basis for his current durability rating.

AP: Multi-Universe with erasure

Pointless to rate it at unknown, and claimining it should be lower because he used it against smaller targets is an AoE fallacy.

Durability: Unknown
 
Isn't there a statement saying Zeno is litterally untouchable.

If that's the case at the very least his durability scales off everything else.
 
He should have also Unknown ap because Existance Erasure Ingnores durability and he did so with the universes.
 
Existence erasure is not a no-limits fallacy. In order to destroy 12 universes you still need to wield it at tier 2-C.
 
I disagree with placing Zen'o at unknown attack potency.
 
Zen'o did not destroyed the universes, he erased them from existance with multi-universal existance erasure which ingnores durability. A lesser version is used by the Gods.
