Dimensional scaling is dumb.

Dimensional scaling is often meaningless, especially because often when an anime/manga says "dimensions", its an ambiguous translation where the source material isn't actually referring to spatial dimensions, but either another realm (like heaven/hell, or other universes) or, you know, in a non-literal way to emphasize a character's power. Furthermore, while some people scale these "higher dimensional" characters, in what way do they even behave as if they can access another dimension? They almost always behave like normal 3D characters, with extra dimensions being nothing but statement BS. And now, on the topic of a higher dimension automatically outscaling lower dimensions. Who came up with this? This can even be debunked with real life examples, this doesn't even need to be theoretical discussion. The singularity of a black hole has infinite density, being compressed into a single, infinitely small point in space. This makes a black hole a 0 dimensional object. Based off scaling wank, the average human should body a black hole due to having a spatial dimension advantage of 3. Unfortunately, we live in reality where when person meet black hole, person turn into spaghetti. If dimension difference automatically determines a fight, why aren't black holes the single weakest things in all of existence? Sure, in an otherwise even stat 1v1 where someone has access to a higher dimension, the higher dimensional being may find easier access to vital organs, due to being able to move past defenses like skin that are only able to defend on 3 axis, if a 3D character were to be a corrosive slime, and a 4D human were to try to attack through hyperspace, they're just gonna have a hand melted by the slime's acid no matter how they attack. Dimensions aren't an auto win, they just make bypassing certain defense easier.
