AP is measured in joules, because it's simplified (even to the point where some people just take the total energy and think that it's usable as it is - one example is in this thread, no offense meant towards anyone). The actual stuff that determines the damage is impact force and pressure.
All terms force, energy and pressure can be used to indicate damage, there's no demarcation between them at least in fictional terms.
Force is simply the direct measure of the acceleration which can be given to a piece of mass, while pressure goes in-depth indicating the same force but even reflecting the total surface area the force actually acted upon.
But work done goes more in-depth with the fact that it can indicate both force causing a certain displacement of a piece of mass and at the same time, indicate the pressure acting upon a volume of the same mass.
So yes, work done actually is a better measure for damage.
Force and pressure don't independently determine damage, you can have imparted massive amounts of acceleration (1000 m/s^2) to a large amount of mass (1000 kg), giving a force of 1 million N, but you would still cause it to move only like a centimeter if the work you do overall is limited to 10000 J.
So no, what ACTUAL stuff that determines the damage is NOT FORCE AND PRESSURE, it's actually work done which indicates the actual impact in real world terms. Interesting physics discussion whatsoever, you can give
this a read definitely, to understand more of what I am trying to imply and deliver.
You definitely should, unless you want to get a character as high as possible based on misinterpreted terms.
I already said how authors aren't powerscalers. COTE by the way, isn't the only verse you can go against if you are trying to imply that there should be an "exact" usage of terms. And none of what this thread says somehow goes against your "want to get a character as high as possible based on misinterpreted terms", it in fact goes against canonical feats and tries to exploit absolutely NO PROBLEMS which COTE has as of now, all of the incoherences which were present in COTE have either been retconned with actual feats and showdowns between characters, or have been substantially explained enough to not be believable by the story itself.
So no, I am not "misinterpreting" anything. All this thread brings is a bunch of arguments which you can get by having read COTE from YT shorts and comments. I have already proven in my
response by providing a point-by-point breakdown of every point in the OP, which he allegedly has "responded" to entirely in the thread, but which seems largely false to me after I did take a read of the entire thread, a whole LOT of what I mentioned, or how I specifically explained it has never been countered in the thread before.
This thread is simply a HEADCANON as of now. The OP either skipped reading after Year 2 or didn't read the novels at ALL, because he has managed to get EVEN canonical events happening WRONGLY, and I am not talking about "interpretations", he simply didn't even read some of the scans he attached himself.
Dismissal of a fact doesn't make it any less correct. The fact of the matter is you confused physical strength with physical ability which is why you don't seem to understand that these characters are not superior by strength even after it's repeatedly listed. You can be physically stronger than somebody while being inferior in physical ability, that's the fact of the matter. Example. In wrestling. Big Show is physically stronger than Roman Reigns, but Roman Reigns overall is the better wrestler when you add all factors which is why he would have a higher overall on the wrestling game
Big Show and Roman Reigns are real people, and they don't have largely high differences between them to the point where they can "blitz" each other of massively stomp each other in AP. I already showed how COTE has characters who can blitz each other, so yes, none of this actually adds up.
Your mentions about physical ability and strength do not matter, I have not used those terms interchangeably in my response either, so you can refrain from punching the wall at this point.
That doesn't apply to this verse. This is not a fantasy verse with verse specific concepts, and we cannot simply create a headcanons for the verse because you "could care less" that's an even bigger problem if you're willing to purposely midscale the verse even after proven incorrect
You never proved me incorrect, I already remember like 3 times (the part where you thought a certain statement is said for Kiyotaka instead of Ryuuen when you can just get it correct if you read the ENTIRE page lmfao, the alleged "Nanase can blitz Kiyotaka" thing which is a standard incoherence in your response itself and means that Nanase is somehow too dumb to actually not be able to beat someone whom she can actually "blitz" - the scan never said that she can blitz him, and Albert durability thing which Albert HIMSELF DISAGREED with in Year 2 like a 10 volumes later).
And I gave quadruple that debunks it proving the opposite yet you want to dismiss them and even in the scales you sent which I said multiple times it literally says what im saying after being told my scans were "fan made" so that was a lie told by the zesty guy. That's not helping anyone.
One or two of those scans are from translations which are not official, so I don't blame him, I also pointed them out in my response if YOU DID "READ" IT.
And that's the problem what you think is actually different than whats being told and described over and over and over and over again. Simply going through them 1 by 1 dismissing source material is not helping and even when you guys send scales it's the exact same scales I already sent making the conversation go in circles.
I am not even going in circles, you are, lmfao. What you have said throughout the thread isn't the first time it has been talked about on the wiki.
The source of where it comes from doesn't change the validity of it. YouTube has videos about every anime. Not just cote.
Yeah, and you also use the interpretations from the same YT videos too, type something REAL and something which you yourself believe in.
This isn't true at all as shown you are purposely dismissing statements that prove he's human then using the ones that you think upgrade him just for the scans to be proven in favor of my point being physical strength and physical ability are not the same things. There are characters in the verse physically stronger than others while being inferior in total physical ability. That won't change and dismissing it when it's said over 20 times is bad faith.
He's a human with abnormal physiology, which has been proven more than just a single time in the verse. (And I also said it like thrice in my entire response to the OP if you did "read" it LMFAO.)
You can use human terms to scale his anatomy, but the verse itself makes it clear that his physiology is largely different.
It always baffles me how the profiles for Ayano and the content threads made on him make it seem like his pinky finger alone upscales from the whole verse. Like, Ayano needs 0.001 percent of his full capabilities to annihilate everybody else. It's hilarious to me
The "0.001 percent" exaggeration to make it seem bad... hmm? No, Kiyotaka ultimately blitzed and neg-diffed a character like Ichika who blitzed and neg-diffed both Suzune and Ibuki while being in a state where she canonically shouldn't even be able to walk properly and fought with both of them on the brink of collapse. Ichika also took attacks from Ibuki which didn't make her get immediate "concussion", and the OP uses an obvious plot deception statement where Kiyotaka mentions about him getting concussion from a single attack of Ibuki while all of what I typed earlier EXISTS.
Yeah, it's not "0.001 percent" but there's a canonical large gap between him and Ichika, and a large gap between Ichika and Ibuki, so yes, he can definitely be CANONICALLY dozens of times stronger than the rest of the cast which are low tiers, you can't prove it otherwise.
Also, you can leave with the "pinky finger" message which you typed just to exaggeratingly make the verse seem bad because, yes, while there definitely wasn't a pinky finger thing, he did mention about him taking low tiers in his verse with just a single hand while only defending (Y2V11) and did even mention about a possibility of taking both of them while being blindfolded but only rejected the idea because it would mean being forced into an aggressive fight, and did talk about taking on a character blindfolded who has similar or greater calibre (Nanase) in Y2V3. And the person him going to do this to? IBUKI and Suzune

. And yeah, the OP thinks that a character who was going to receive this kind of treatment (Ibuki) can oneshot Kiyotaka LMFAO.
Refrain from posting your exaggerated numbers if all you mean to do is make it seem bad and play a card on it...
Like I don't see similar treatment towards statistics for other God tier characters who unironcally solo their verse 10x over on here.
Yeah, because they are popular and people have fortunately taken their times to read their series, unlike COTE where you can see a thread every 10 days with things you probably don't even know happened in the novels as a novel reader.
