Hi guys. I'm going to discuss about the conditions of the hypothetical fights between different universes related to the energy systems(such as Ki, reiatsu and chakra)
Energy systems
I'd like to discuss about energy measures. What exactly are them?
In many mangas there are different forms used to name and to measure the amount of energy in character. Some are very simple(like KI in db/dbz), some are more developed(chakra in naruto), and some works in different ways, with other kinds of "consequences"(like reiastsu, in bleach).
Well, it's obvious that they hold similarities, but we can't say they are the exact same thing, because there are some differences which are important. So, one could say that ichigo would easily beat goku and naruto in a fight, as they don't have reiatsu, and ichigo has a powerful reiatsu, for exemple.
However, the ideal way to make a hypothetical fight is to use a hypothetical universe in which these energy measures are the same thing. Why is that? Because with this, we would be analysing the fight with all the chars using their full potential, there would be no obstacle that would give any of the chars some kind of advantage.
In this way, the result of the fights will be based on the chars' feats and skills, the fight would me more fair.
Having/not having chakra/reiatsu/ki isn't an "ability", it's just the energy system used in that universe. They have it simply because they belong to that universe.
So, basically, a factor like this, that is related only to a system used in an specific universe, and thus, is not an ability of the char, shouldn't limit the actual abilities of the other chars.
Having an advantage like that in a battle doesn't fit the concept we're trying to analyse, that is who would be more powerful and so, who would win.
