Introduction
I am back mother *******, you miss me?
Anyways I brought a gift, another CRT by yours truly.
Frankly, looking through our Shinza profiles has left me in the CRT creating mood, and this one specifically is based in Reinhard's AP justification for his Interview key - it's disingenuous at best. And with this CRT, I plan on changing that.
Note: I need to thank Qliphoth Bacikal for his help in collecting the scans for me, and SleepyTBubble and EMS-TC02 Phantom for aiding in improving the justifications with me. Thank you, guys - you are all Hadou Gods of the highest caliber.
Note 2: This CRT is almost entirely ripped from my blog about the topic here.
Current Justification and Problems
Reinhard's Current Justification:
"Attack Potency: At least Universe level (Far superior to the LDO, stronger than Wilhelm who destroyed the Jaws of Darkness. Casually one-shot Methuselah and destroyed all his mystery), High Outerverse level via hax and LLT (Gladsheimr is described as the law of the new world and a singularity that is detached from the World of Foreknowledge, as well as being described as being a power already on the Atzulith degree despite being a Briah. The Longinuslanze Testament is described as washing away the world of Foreknowledge, and like Reinhard, is the manifestation of Mercurius' desire to die), Can ignore durability in a variety of ways"
Now frankly, the general notion of this is fine, Reinhard is greater than every member of the L.D.O. barring Mercurius, that is so blatantly obvious that it hurts, but that is where my agreeance to the justification ends.
Everything else I have a problem with:
"High Outerverse level via hax and LLT"
And. . .
"Casually one-shot Methuselah and destroyed all his mystery"
I'll break down the problems with these statements one step at a time.
"High 1-A via Hax and LLT"
There are a handful of problems I have with this, I'll go over the most simple one first.
The first thing is the description of a majority of the information is in Japanese instead of English, which should be changed and updated properly.
The second thing is the description itself, having, "High Outerverse level via hax" is poor nomenclature that is bound to confuse people as the description doesn't mention his other hax that Reinhard has being on that level, the only thing it mentions is Gladsheimr, and so having "High 1-A via hax" is disingenuous to what is actually written. Instead of it saying, "High Outerverse level via hax and LLT", it should be something along the line of, "High Outerverse level via Longinuslanze Testament and Gladsheimr."
And along with that line of thinking, comes my final problem, the justification for Gladsheimr and the Longinuslanze Testament. They are barebones at best, and acutely misconstruing lore about the Ancient Arcane and the way Briahs and Ahnenerbe work.
I'll quote EMS-TC02 Phantom's post which explains why the current justification is wrong:
"Reinhard destroying the last arcane that is Methuselah and bringing about the new world means nothing more than, from that point onward, there's no more remnant of Omega Ewigkeit's ancient era, which is what Methuselah was before he got ganked by Reinhard. Reinhard's last attack simply make darkness into what's essentially the scientific concept of lack of light, not this ancient god of darkness or the likes.
Not that destroying/discarding the old world and bring about a newer one is something special as, like what I've said above, the human populace already did this by being a race that keeps developing and Apostle did this through their Beri'ah achieve the exact same thing.
Can't seem to post images for some reason, so I'm just gonna link it here. This is how Beri'ah works, this is an elaboration on Hegemony type Beri'ah, while this is one for Transcendence.
Notice how literally every single one of them mentions how they work by discarding/destroying/superseding the laws of the old world and replace it with a new one?"
So as EMS explained, what we have for justifying the spear's ranking is inaccurate and thus proper justification for both the Longinuslanze Testament and Gladsheimr is needed and will be placed in the justification section below.
"Casually One-shot Methuselah"
Now for the big one, the main problem comes with the fact that Reinhard one-shotted Methuselah by using the Longinuslanze Testament's light, light from a High 1-A object, NOT with his own physical strength (i.e. punching or kicking). I'll prove this by showcasing what exactly happened during that scene.
The context goes like this, Reinhard starts to fight Methuselah, brings out the spear, points the spear at Methuselah, and uses the light of the Longinuslanze Testament which blows Methuselah away with sheer all-destroying power of the spear, destroying Methuselah, the last remnant of the Ancient Arcane completely, and makes Darkness nothing more than a simple aspect of nature instead of a personified concept.
So the context clearly shows that Reinhard uses his spear's "sheer power" to blow Methuselah away and destroy his mystery, without affecting the "Worldly Order". So having it be used as justification for his own tiering that is separate from the tiering of the Longinuslanze Testament seems disingenuous, and thus I feel it should be changed.
Now you might ask yourself a few questions:
Is Methuselah stronger than Reinhard then?
Not exactly the case.
Here is a direct quote from Wilhelm about Reinhard's power in comparison to Methuselah. He says, "If Methuselah can only be broken by quality, quantity, and status, the only one among us capable was Lord Heydrich." This is a direct statement that compares the physical capabilities of Reinhard and Methuselah to one another.
What should Reinhard's AP justification be?
At the very least, the safest low-ball that should be given is that Reinhard should scale FAR beyond the Einherjar or Wilhelm who was capable of destroying Methuselah's Jaws of Darkness, Wilhelm straight up says that he is far beyond all of them. And on the high end, Reinhard should be comparable to Methuselah because of Wilhelm's statement directly comparing their strength.
The new justifications for everything will be in the section below.
New Justifications
The new justifications would be:
- "Tier: At least 5-A, likely 3-A. High 1-A via throwing/unleashing the divine light of the Longinuslanze Testament and Gladsheimr"
- "Attack Potency: At least Large Planet level (Far superior to every member of the L.D.O., including Legion Reincarnation Wilhelm, who destroyed Methuselah's Jaws of Darkness) likely Universe Level (Is stated by Wilhelm to be the only one among the L.D.O to be capable of breaking Methuselah by his sheer quality, quantity, and status). High Outerverse level via throwing/unleashing the divine light of the Longinuslanze Testament (The Longinuslanze Testament is the "ultimate Ahenrebre" that "bereaved even God of life", which is described as the compressing of a universe and furthermore described as both the "weapon of the gods" and "as the blade that has slain gods", and that "not even God can evade its thrust" as the Holy Lance was "precisely that type of weapon" nor could something as meager as time stop it. The spear has, on numerous occasions, affected Marie (the only other person who was stated to be able to influence her was Karl Krafft), by sending her back to the Twilight Beach, and by injuring her soul, which changed her, left a "hole" there permanently), and Gladsheimr (Gladsheimr is described as the Fifth Universe of Gold and that as a Hegemony it is the absolute law of the new world. Furthermore, it is stated to be "not of this reality" and it is also said that it is a space that destroys the world's concepts of distance and coordinates), Can ignore durability in a variety of ways"
Tl;DR/Conclusion
I have made my case to prove four things:
- Reinhard's justifications that are in Japanese, need to be replaced with English ones
- The "High Outerverse level via Hax and LLT" needs to be replaced with "via throwing/unleashing the divine light of the Longinuslanze Testament and Gladsheimr" to match the description
- The justifications of the Longinuslanze Testament and Gladsheimr are should be replaced with the ones I gave
- And that the current justification for Reinhard needs to be changed to scale above Wilhelm at the least and scale to being Methuselah's equal according to a statement by Wilhelm, as the current description used is for the Longinuslanze Testament and not his own physical strength.
