Hello
The P&A section of some Record of Ragnarok profiles aren't as good. The formatting could be better, some skills shouldn't be there and mostly missing references or scans for those skills.
In this CRT I'll be working on the profiles of Adam, Zerus, Sasaki Kojiro and Poseidon. I'll show you a Sandbox that I made, to show how the P&A section will be. I'll also talk about what was removed or added below the Sandbox link for each profile.
Please, I ask you to open the current profiles and those of my Sandbox to compare too.
Sandbox: Adam
Sandbox: Zeus
Sandbox: Sasaki Kojiro
Sandbox: Poseidon
Finalization
As you can see, in addition to many changes, there were many scans to put (I know there can be many, I have this habit, but the more sources the better, right?).
If I've added, removed, or changed any skills in the Sandbox that aren't listed here, let me know. And if the opposite happens, that a skill listed here is not in line with the Sandbox, let me know too.

Sandbox: Adam
[+] Added
+ Limited Weapon Creation (It's part of the package with merging with a Valkyrie and creating a Völundr. Also, I changed the full package explanation text a bit)
+ Resistance to Fear Manipulation (Stood his ground against the menacing aura exerted by the Adamas form of Zeus)
+ Copied Powers (As you can see in the Sandbox, I've added the abilities that Adam gained by copying the gods' techniques. Like the Serpent god and Zeus. They are as "possible", as it is not known with 100% certainty whether it stores the techniques or not. He never used techniques that he already copied, he always used the techniques that his opponent used at the time, but at one point in his fight against Zeus, he said "I like that. Thanks for the cool move.", implying that he keeps the techniques)
[-] Removed
- Reactive Power Level (The justification says that the copied techniques are faster and stronger, but the first thing is not true. When Adam copies Zeus's first techniques, we clearly see that he copied the same speed in order, so by logic the strength would be the same. The second thing I can think of is Goll saying "and to think he would top the original", but is she really a reliable source? Aside from her saying this after The Fist That Surpassed Time, something she didn't even see, and she doesn't even know what happened, Goll didn't have any information about Adam before this fight. She only has the information given by her sister, which does not imply that the copied techniques are stronger, and the information she acquires from watching the fight. And considering that throughout the fight Adam kept beating Zeus and using his techniques masterfully, Goll may have thought that Adam's copied techniques are better, but it's just Adam being very good at fighting and using the techniques)
- Incorporeality (I haven't found anything to indicate that Adam has this power, so I'm taking it out. If anyone disagrees with this removal, just send the scans that prove that Adam has this power)
- Time Manipulation (The only reason I've found for him to have this is Fist that Surpassed Time. And I'm pretty sure this isn't time manipulation, considering the technique only increases the user's speed and doesn't stop time or anything. Someone could say that it increases the user's speed through time manipulation, but there is not much basis for this. And about the things that make reference to time, I'll talk about them.
1- "It was created by the personification of time" - See the profile of Zeus, Chronus is the Guardian of Space-Time and not the personification of time. So he is not so intimate with time.
2 - "The technique's name" - Originally it had no name, it was said that Zeus named this technique at his will, so its name isn't really a big argument, considering we see that it doesn't surpass time.Zeus immeasurable speed when?
3 - "The technique was said to exert control over all the time" - Yes, it was SAID. So it's not exactly a fact, besides we see that that's not what happens)
[^] Exchanged
^ Afterimage Creation (This ability wasn't completely removed from the profile, but the justification for it now comes from a technique that Adam copied from Zeus. But why that? Because the actual justification used is not afterimages, it's just an artistic effect to show Adam dodging several attacks on one page)

Sandbox: Zeus
[+] Added
+ Resistance to Fear Manipulation (Unaffected by the menacing aura exerted by Odin at his side)
+ Statistics Amplification (By compressing his muscles to the limit, Zeus enters his Adamas form and greatly increases his power)
+ Damage Boost (Added joins "Limited Energy Manipulation", as Zeus concentrates all of his power in his hand)
[-] Removed
- Size Manipulation (I saw that to have this, it is necessary to increase and decrease the size while maintaining the physical proportion. Zeus manipulates his muscles to gain more mass, as well as grow taller. I think the way Zeus changes forms is more suited to "Body Control", as you can see further down in the "Exchanged" section. If I'm wrong, let me know)
- Time Manipulation (The same reason as Adam)
- Creation (This comes from just one statement by Heimdall. Honestly, other than just having this source, nothing in the manga other than that part, hinted at Zeus having these powers, at least as far as I remember. Also, the whole presentation of Zeus was extravagant and Heimdall used terms like "Almighty and Omniscient" to refer to Zeus, so his comment of Zeus using the powers of creation might be hyperbole. If anyone disagrees, I'm fine with not removing it and leaving "Possibly")
[^] Exchanged
^ Biological Manipulation exchanged for Body Control (I think Body Control fits better Zeus' ability)
^ Air Manipulation exchanged to Limited (The only thing I've found that could give Zeus this power is the gust of wind generated by his God Axe. I'll put it as Limited since it's just a strong gust of wind generated by the power of the technique)

Sandbox: Sasaki Kojiro
[+] Added
+ Limited Power Mimicry (Through scanning and simulation, Kojiro fought to the death several times against the master swordsmen he faced, until their techniques were etched into his body)
+ Genius Intelligence (Looking at Kojiro's skills, you can see why this skill is here. Even so, I added a justification also in the skill to not be empty. --->"Able to analyze and process several pieces of information at the same time and use it to learn about your opponent as well as recreate it in your mind and create battle simulations against it")
[-] Removed
- Martial Arts (As stated on the page, this ability is given to only those who possess remarkable skill in unarmed combat. Kojiro has never demonstrated unarmed fighting skills, only skills with his katana)
- Stealth Mastery (I didn't see anything on the Stealth Mastery page that fits the "attack an enemy blind spot" feat. Kojiro is in front of his enemy, but with the technique he can hit an enemy's blind spot. If this fits Stealth Master just let me know)
[^] Exchanged
^ Limited Illusion Creation exchanged for Limited Perception Manipulation (I think this ability fits best for what Kojiro did)

Sandbox: Poseidon
[-] Removed
- Precognition/Analytical Prediction ( [Look this] - At the top is the translation that is usually used and at the bottom is the raw along with the translation. As you can see, there's nothing to "read" anything. Poseidon just attacked in Kojiro's blind spot. If Korijo keeps the Stealth Mastery I'm also removing, Poseidon may also qualify for that skill)
- Extreme Pain Tolerance (From what I've seen, this is no longer considered a skill to be in the P&A section)
