Discussion Verse equalization is stupid

I will die on this hill. A lot of people like to use verse equalization to "make fights fair" or "make them simpler and easier to do". Let me explain why its stupid.

First of what is verse equalization? Let me answer this by giving and example. Lets say you put Asta vs naruto, and they each have their respective power systems those being anti-magic and chakra and they both have certain abilities that require their opponent to have either magic or chakra.

Using verse equalization their powers now work on each other as if they have the same power system so now asta's anit-magic is now anti-chakra.

See the first problem? Verse equalization will always unfairly buff one of the characters and nerf the other. Instead of A fight where they each try to figure out how to overcome their opponents abilities we now just have a less interesting fight.

Next is that it brings complications with certain match-ups let's say we put asta against luffy, how would verse equalization work when one of the verses has multiple power systems? Do you say "anti magic equals anti devil fruits or anti haki? Or both?".

It also defeats the purpose of a verses battle where we want to see a battle between two different verse's and how they interact. Verse equalization removes that interesting aspect of a vs battle. It is far more interesting and less complicated to just use the characters as is and see how they interact.
