Question Urek's Reinforcement

[Shadowlord123]

I'm talking about the end of this arc. Was he using 100% Reinforcement with Gustang, Traumerei, and Vaam? Or was he still around 25-30% like when he left Luslec? Maybe somewhere in between?

SIU never showed those percentages again, so I'm curious to know opinions regarding this.

 

[Ray Barracuda]

Should be around 60-70% with a moderate take, highballing it maybe 75-80%, maybe with absolute wank 90% but definitely below 100%.


When he's finally pushed to base, we'll definitely know from visuals cause nobody can hide fullbody reinforcement when it occurs.

 

[Jackjohsnon]

I think 100% is correct, as It is his base power. He probably can go above 100% If he uses some special reinforcement technique.

In my mind, when Urek is nerfing his own reinforcement, he is basically nerfing his own base power.

 

[V_TheHiddenAxis]

Unless urek specifies anything , I think he was using 100%.

 

[Pro Factor]

He didn’t specify anything against Baam in Zigena…

But that doesn’t mean anything because I probably put more thought into this than SIU did at the time.

 

[Shiinhye1]

I think he might be using 75%, but not constantly, and he is probably only using it on partial areas of his body (e.g. when he punches or kicks, then to the basics which would be 50%).

Omg the legend himself commented something other than giving translations to us

 

[arrowofsky]

I remembered like it was a boost/reinforcement rather than a percentage of power, so I expected it was 0 (base) unless a number specified.

Yeah, this implies shattering a 3D disconnection without a boost

100%

Whenever Urek uses less than 100% he bleeds. First against Bam, then against Luslec.

I think it's fair to say he was serious when confronting traumerei and gustang but putting that in terms of percentages is difficult. It could be 100% but then it turns out this is the weakest of urek's reinforcement techniques.

 

[Jackjohsnon]

Even If Urek is using 100% of reinforcement, It's not equal to say he is using 100% of his power. Strength, Speed, Lightspeed Shinsoo, and who knows how many special reinforcement techniques he possesses. Urek is not limited to percentages, that's only a gimmick, and not something we'll see Urek doing when he faces people on his tier like the family heads or V.

 

[Demonspeed]

Definitely way above his percentage against Luslec. SIU stopped with the percentage there for obvious reasons. Urek adjusts his strength to his opponents and V confirmed that Traumerei wasn't at full power, which means it was the same for Gustang. I am guessing that Urek also knew that and did what he needed to do to stop them.

I think the punch he used against Revolution is a good indicator to try to interpret all of this. Do you think it was stronger than his Gorgon Strike? I am not sure if it was but it wasn't a named technique. He probably seriously used his Lightspeed Shinsoo there. His Shinsoo has also properties similar to Blossom's flame. Rather than using Shinso Reinforcement at full power, I think he was using his Shinsoo Attributes more seriously.

Baam using a single Shinsoo Baang, Baam using a single Shinsoo Bang with Orb, Baam using a single Shinsoo Baang with Black Shinsoo(no Orb). These three attacks would have different levels of power. SIU is juggling with that using Urek.

100%

Whenever Urek uses less than 100% he bleeds. First against Bam, then against Luslec.

That's not true. First, against Baam, it was because of Baam's unique power. Same reason why Baam injured Kallavan.

V, Gustang and Traumerei didn't hit him once. Hell Joe never injured him either.

 

[Shadowlord123]

Likewise, I also agree it should've been way above 25-30% Reinforcement. In general, the portrayal he got was simply too good:

1. One-shot the Epitome of Evil with apparently a basic punch. A monster that AP-wise was damaging Gustang through his shield and that in terms of durability took an Okbi hit to the face without much trouble.
   
   
2. Destroyed a weakened 3D Disconnection from Traumerei with apparently another basic punch. 3D Disconnection is Traumerei's most sophisticated, lethal, and powerful asset shown thus far.
   
   
3. Defended against weakened Gustang and Traumerei's attacks simultaneously without using any sophisticated asset besides those basic punches.
   
   
4. Basic punches compared to the strongest flame of the Tower, an apex predator that burns all concepts and that had to be sealed away by Blossom.
   
   
5. Speed high enough to make V think that even in his Prime, there'd be no guarantee of victory against him.

The only cons are that he got stopped again by Luslec, and that visually, he didn't look more impressive than the 25-30% he used against the Slayer. But visuals in ToG are very far from being consistent, so I wouldn't give those too much faith. Luslec stopping him also happened when Urek wasn't paying any attention to him.

I'd say that if he wasn't at 100% Reinforcement, he should have been pretty close to it at least.

 

[PPower]

If Urek was using 100% of his power against Traumerei, Gustang, and V (who is no longer at his peak), it doesn’t make sense for him to be known as the strongest in the Tower and ranked 4th, or potentially even higher, especially since he chose to distance himself from Zahard

 

[maverickframe_19]

You would say it would be crazy to counter 3D disconnection if it wasn't 100% but given that we know there are tiers in FH's power levels, I think Urek scaled to their level to stop their attacks. Urek by far in the story has consistently shown me best shinshoo control to accurate numbers giving it percentages. An irregular vs. irregular, there is no reason to specify the numbers. Just let them know that you are strong, and you're not meant to be fuck with.

Although I cast my vote for 100%, I would be inclined towards a modest 65-70 percentage.

Lol, I am replying to my own post.

Maybe Urek power can go beyond 100%

Please no. That would be beyond terrible. Had enough of that nonsense with MHA, the entire % thing is just plain stupid.

 

[VON]

full powered reinforcement.

He stopped holding back purposely when he went up against the 2 FHs.

Against the other people, he has to nerf himself constantly to avoid killing them accidentally.

 

[Jackjohsnon]

100% is only his base power. Urek is the only guy whose the gimmick is to fight without shinsoo reinforcement because he is too strong already without It, unless someone here believe Traumerei or Gustang are walking around without their shinsoo reinforcement 7 days a week.

 

[Lonatian]

The percentage limit shows that Urek despises his opponents (Karaka, Hell Joe, Luslec).
Otherwise, just punch normally. Why bother calculating percentages?
