He could've in the Early Ages but Sauron here is a shade of his Maiar version that Kurama has no way to actually put down. What likely happens is that Kurama wrecks Mordor but then proceeds to gets corrupted by Sauron.Sauron himself should solo right? I forget how strong book LOTR is.
NO ONE IS STOPPING HIMhis win con is just destroying the earth
BASE Bazz was the guy who offset enough of Shikai Yamamoto's flames to allow himself and two other Nazis to actually survive it.With Voll he wins. Base? Nope.
Hey @Adamant soul, remind me again- why exactly is Ichibei's name manipulation generally equated to concept manipulation? As far as I remember, the source materials never called it the manipulation of concepts outright but nearly all Bleach debaters refer to it as such.
Is it something people just accept because it's easier to understand or something?
I mean he's fucking with the concept of a "name" which is important to Bleach so I can see why it would be considered conceptual.Hey @Adamant soul, remind me again- why exactly is Ichibei's name manipulation generally equated to concept manipulation?

It's not that I don't think it's abstract- it's just that it falls short of the mainstream idea of manipulating concepts, so equalizing the two either makes Ichibei's power more overinflated than it is or degrades other forms of concept manipulation. For example, fucking around with laws of physics and mathematics is equally as abstract in my eyes, but I've rarely seen posters trying to equalize it to manipulation of concepts.I mean he's fucking with the concept of a "name" which is important to Bleach so I can see why it would be considered conceptual.
Oh of course it's not even remotely on the level as fucking with the concept of time or space as those are much more all-encompassing than his name fuckery. It's like everything else, there's levels to it but it would still fall under the same umbrella.It's not that I don't think it's abstract- it's just that it falls short of the mainstream idea of manipulating concepts, so equalizing the two either makes Ichibei's power more overinflated than it is or degrades other forms of concept manipulation.

Of course this is the other possible explanation is Bleach fans specifically do it to make Ichibei more broken than he actually is, or to push that he can affect characters he really shouldn't be able to.Another thing that bothers me is when people start demanding proof of characters resisting concept manipulation to defend against Ichibei.
Not what I'm talking about- it's when Bleach debaters deny any other examples of resistance working against other abstract powers and specifically demand resistance against universal concept manipulation when arguing for Ichibei.You usually do need feats of resisting a specific sort of ability though, whether Ichibei's ability falls under the umbrella of "concept manipulation", or not.

imagine looking at all the work @Stocking Anarchy put into the gurren laggan shit and just dismissing it as "false scaling"
Get this nigga the fuck outta here
WTF does he even mean by this?False tiering
If their punches are really that much weaker than their energy blasts, despite both of them utilizing the same power source, why on Earth would they bother using punches if a simple Ki blast would suffice? Goku's punches does not mean they are being protected by ki. Their energies mixed into a universe-threatening ball and then Goku punches it and it doesn't even explode. That also doesn't prove Goku is outputting as much force in his punch as Garou can.
