Powers, there are so many when it comes to the world of fiction.
With how many powers there are, there’s many categories and levels to these powers.
Categories to group the similar powers then levels because not all powers matchup to each
other.
There are many groups for powers, but there’s only so many levels.
Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Ultimate, and Absolute.
And yes there’s Intermediate and Advanced.
In the sense of being better than Basic but doesn’t touch the beginning of a harder
difficulty in
abilities.
Making this easier, Basic is like 8th grade and Intermediate is Freshman.
It’s a nice start but still scratching the surface when it comes to the whole thing.
But now let’s get start off with a Master Level video to kick off this new series.
Since you guys did technically vote for it, but without you guys fully knowing.
Now this video is going to be about time, the progression of existence.
It being one of the largest aspects of reality and manipulating it has to be a ridiculously
strong
asset.
Our first ability in the Master Level is Temporal Looping.
The manipulation of time to where it goes around to one point to loop multiple times.
The actual action of being able to loop someone in time is a ridiculously strong ability,
but when
it comes to specifics on it then that’s where it gets iffy.
For example, let’s take Itachi Uchiha from the Naruto franchise.
Not everyone knows the specifics of Naruto so I’m going to give you a somewhat normalized
explanation for the ability.
With his... eyes..
He has the ability to trap people in their own mind to infinitely loop a moment.
Or “creating an infinite loop of events that entraps the opponent's consciousness”.
This is technically listed under Temporal Looping, but it’s a mental trick technically.
When Temporal Looping would be more of trapping them into a time stream separate from the
actual time passing.
But even then, using Izanami is a very huge benefit due the only one way of getting out
of it is to
accept the reality which would be your mistakes in the loop.
So in a way of manipulating time, but not manipulating time it still is pretty good.
Now here’s one that actually manipulates time itself.
Yoshikage Kira from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and his stand Killer Queen.
Not going to explain stands in this, but basically see this as an output for the power.
People without stands cannot see stands so that gives it another factor.
Well, Killer Queen has the ability of Bomb Transmutation with 2 specific uses of it being
2
different bombs.
But it also has a 3rd bomb, Bites The Dust.
*Explosion and explosion rewinds*
But it also has a 3rd bomb, Bites The Dust.
This is an actual temporal loop, but the problem with it is how situational it is.
Basically to sum it up, if you’re trying to find out his identity, Killer Queen blows
you up and
rewinds time.
He also puts his stand into a totally different person and isn’t able to use his 2 bombs.
So he basically turns into a regular person, but that’s if you’re not trying to find
out his identity.
So if you put Yoshikage Kira versus someone, Bites The Dust is completely useless.
That’s probably the lowest form of temporal looping when it comes to fights, I’d say
that’s below
Izanami due to how situational it is.
But it is a perfect example.
Oh yeah you could also talk to Chronos from the DC universe about time looping.
He also knows a lot about time looping since he’s stuck in one.
Moving on into the next ability.
Temporal Trapping.
For the user to send their opponent to a different time, trapping them there.
Do you know anyone that had been sent back in time and had ended up being stuck there?
Anyone?
Someone that had probably spent 5 seasons being trapped in a different time?
It’s Jack.
Samurai Jack.
Aku is your best example of temporal trapping.
Next power.
Time Portal Creation.
Self explanatory at this point.
The ability to create portals that can travel through time.
Huh.
Aku you can come back you work in this one too.
You also have the main villain of Sonic Generations in this case.
The Time Eater.
He uses time holes to scatter everyone in the game up.
Along with that, everytime it goes through time “it tears space apart, leaving ares
empty and
dead and sticking them in this weird white limbo”.
You’re two for two tails you cut me off again and you’re dunzo.
Well Time Portal creation can be used in multiple ways.
So trap someone, so send yourself forward or back, and it can also be used offensively.
For example, Kagerōza Inaba from Bleach has the ability to use time portals and uses them
offensively, but at the same time they’re a lot different that actual time portals.
His portal works in the way where it records an action and project said action when the
portal is
recreated.
So if you shot a bullet into that portal, the portal would close then open and shoot
a bullet
exactly the same way how you did it.
This being a very specific type of portal, it’s more like a portal to a replay button.
But either way, you get the jist of Time portals.
Onto, the next ability.
Time Acceleration, this is gonna be a good one.
The ability to accelerate/speed up time for themselves or others.
Now who knows acceleration better than The Flash.
Specifically New 52 Flash, Barry Allen.
In Flash Volume 4, #47.
Barry realized that his powers are also connected to the flow of time
and that he can move it forward, which allows Barry to speed up time.
This is the best example of time acceleration used amazing.
The second example I have is another Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure character.
Enrico Pucci and his stand Made In Heaven.
By having the ability to control gravity in a very specific way that I plan to explain
in the future,
Made in Heaven accelerates time for inanimate objects.
Meaning he accelerates the universe to the point of where it dies and another universe
is born.
This doesn’t directly affect humans, but there are situations where people could be
in where
they get caught in the acceleration.
For example, if someone goes into a meat locker to get some meat, they would end up fully
frozen after a few seconds.
It’s a good version of time acceleration, it also gives Pucci an infinite in his speed
stat.
Which basically means there’s no limit to his speed in specific.
But at the same time there are kinks to this stand.
For example say that there’s a poisonous gas in the air that would kill you in 5 hours.
It would almost fully poison you in the span of just a few seconds.
That includes Pucci because he’s not an exception when it comes to this.
So comparing both versions of time acceleration, Barry’s is a 10 and Pucci’s like a 7 due
to
having the ability to mess himself up massively.
Now onto our last two time abilities.
Let’s get onto time stop.
(The World on “stop”).
We have another two Jojo characters.
DIO and Jotaro Kujo.
They both stop time, but no longer than 10 seconds on either.
I found this to be a trend that these characters don’t stop time for not that long, including
the
next characters.
The only person I know that can stop time for as long as they need is Zack from Saved
by the
Bell.
*The World*
Anyways, you have other characters that have conditions or restrictions when it comes to
stopping time.
Sailor Pluto from the series Sailor Moon, is a guardian of time.
While being a guardian of time, there are things she’s not allowed to do.
Stopping time being a huge no no.
If she does stop time, she dies then she is reborn as a new person with no powers.
Which is ridiculously unfortunate when it comes to having so many abilities and not
being able
to use them due to some rules.
Then there’s Guldo’s version of time stop that only works if he holds his breath.
If Guldo had trained himself well enough, he could stop time for a minute or two which
would be
pretty interesting in a fight, but nope.
You got this.
Now for the last ability, I was originally going to add a lower form of one ability from
a different
rank but this one in specific is just bad compared.
But now, Time Travel.
The ability to move through time.
Now we have a lot of people with the ability to do so.
We also have a lot of issues when it comes to time travel because of creating paradoxes
and
different timelines.
Well there’s time machines, the DeLorean from Back to the Future, Superman, the Time
Squad,
Chronos, Doctor Doom, and a lot more.
The best example I found on an offensive use of time travel was of Kang The Conqueror of
Marvel.
Kang is a huge expert in time travel with many moments highlighting how respectable
his power
is.
There’s too much to go about him to and to explain about him, but basically he ages
slower, has
a device that lets him alter his timeline without it turning into an alternate timeline.
I’d like to direct you guys to a video on Kang but I don’t have any, and I searched
for Kang
videos but there wasn’t any I thought you guys would like with it being informative
and all.
Maybe I’ll go into comics on the channel more, since I’m already covering video games,
cartoons, and anime I might as well.
But all and all, Time Travel is pretty self explanatory and we had seen multiple pieces
of fiction
where it exists.
So it’s pretty easy to get the jist of it specifically.
That’s going to be it for now, I hope you guys enjoyed the video.
I want to make a lot more of these power videos, but not to the point of where I’m just flooding
them.
I’m trying to find an even ground with content because I’m adding more stuff in later so
I’m just
molding it all to fit right now.
There’s going to be a poll in the card at the top right corner, the next video is going
to be on
Advanced Level abilities so I want you guys to pick one.
Also if there’s any characters that come to mind in the abilities we mentioned, feel
free to
explain them in the comments.
I’ll see you guys in the next one, so until then...
Peace out, and God Speed.
