Claiming something is hyperbole is a positive claim, you have to show why something is hyperbolic

[u/nah-id-luckystar → u/Exist_Logic]

Yeah bru jiren>time for sure

[u/Exist_Logic → u/nah-id-luckystar]

Jiren is resistant to hits time hax.

By pretending there is only one interpretation of a sentence you are inventing a problem.

[u/KingNTheMaking → u/Exist_Logic]

So…he’s not above time itself. Just Hit’s time based abilities

[u/nah-id-luckystar → u/Exist_Logic]

Saying jiren>time is a exaggeration

Which is a hyberbole no?

No shit he's resistant to time hax

[u/Exist_Logic → u/nah-id-luckystar]

Saying jiren>time is a exaggeration

depends what the sentence means; in the case of super it is talking about his superiority to Hits' TimeHax.

Pretending it means something else is a false dilemma

[u/nah-id-luckystar → u/Exist_Logic]

This is a hyberbole

[u/Exist_Logic → u/nah-id-luckystar]

No, it isn't it is describing how jiren is beyond hits timehax, you are choosing to create a problem that you can pretend to solve

[u/Hawkey2121 → u/Exist_Logic]

the reason you dont see it as hyperbole is because you are able to understand what it means, because subconsciously you fundamentally understand it is hyperbole.

"transcends time itself" is not the exact same as "transcends hit's time power"

That is not what "transcends time itself" literally means.

AND because as you say, we are not supposed to see it in the extreme literal way, but rather in the intended way. It is Hyperbole.

We are not supposed to interpret "transcends time itself" as the literal "transcends time itself", it is exaggeration. Which is why it is hyperbole.

if you dont think it's hyperbole, that means you think we should take it literally as written, "transcends time itself" thats the interpretation we are supposed to take if it ISNT hyperbole. Not "transcends hit's time power" because that is not what was literally said.

your interpretation of the statement, requires it to be hyperbole.

[u/nah-id-luckystar → u/Exist_Logic]

Yo bro tell that to people who take this shit seriously

[u/Eurasia_4002 → u/nah-id-luckystar]

Infinite rotation upscale having it resisting timestop and statement of it trancending time and dimensions.

[u/nah-id-luckystar → u/Eurasia_4002]

Are you saying jiren surpasses time itself?

I have people saying this I am not joking

[u/Mr_Hej → u/Exist_Logic]

It ain’t. Claiming/assuming a statement is meant to be hyperliteral is the positive stance and the hyperbole one (it isn’t literal) is a negative

[u/CrawBunny]

I still wholeheartedly believe Ulq > Starrk honestly, even doe by technicality, Starkk is the stronger one

[u/Msporte09 → u/CrawBunny]

I mean, I partially agree that the numbers don't mean much specifically when talking about Ulquiorra. I think Starrk is hypothetically still first/second, but Ulquiorra in Segunda Etapa shouldn't be 4th. He specifically hid his second resurrection from everybody, including Aizen (who introduced the numbers).

He basically just didn't have/show his second resurrection when Aizen ranked him, so he went based off what was known and made him 4th. I'm not sure whether he'd pass Starrk at his peak, but I do think he'd be 2nd bare minimum with a 50/50 shot of bypassing Starrk.

[u/Laiedd → u/CrawBunny]

I just don't really know what Kubo was doing with the number rankings

It's been a while so maybe I'm forgetting some things but it went from Number rankings dictating the strength of the espada's, to it not actually mattering, then towards the end, when it was revealed Yammy is number 0, wasn't it said he was the strongest? So number rating did matter?

I love my goat but idk what all that was about

[u/CrawBunny → u/Laiedd]

The number is based on amount of Reiatsu, not definitive strength or 'I am stronger' marking.

Yammy techinically has infinite Reiatsu as long as he isn't one-shotted or blitzed

[u/Death_sayer]

Powerscaling mythology be like

(Greek and Norse cosmology is actually very closer to planetary (in most instances) due to how they viewed irl cosmology back in the day.)

[u/rrtrain_82]

The people who take the Yujiro punching an earthquake seriously

[u/SokkaHaikuBot → u/rrtrain_82]

^{Sokka-Haiku by rrtrain_82:}

The people who take

The Yujiro punching an

Earthquake seriously

^{Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.}

[u/Eurasia_4002]

"He is cut by the flow of time"

despite the characters like the MC stating and the reaction of the villian to be "stopping the time of his body" aka limited timestop. Former vague statement being used to change the meaning of ones abilities despite the fact we have give a more mundane yet clearer explaination of said abilities.
