characters get knocked out in One Piece all the time and still get some degree of dura scaling from that, it's where a fraction of why WB Quakes vs Ronse got scaled to damn near everyone, because Ronse was KO'd but wasn't torn apart. It would be a huge double standard to not also apply that here. Even in HxH you have shit like Meruem's body not being completely obliterated by the Rose that's gotten similar arguments.
