Would some stands be considered on the the level of True magic? Like THE WORLD and STAR PLATINUM?

With the way the keep adding shit to gils vault, soon he will have the root in it.
Life is short, we don't need to shitpost at eachother about nasu.
"On the level" implies powerlevels. True Magic isn't really about power so much as impossibility.
Localizationing stuff
Isn't "on the level of True Magic" just a meaningless bullshit expression used in the narrative so that the reader knows that X is really awesome?
You know, like "A Reality Marble? That's on the level of True Magic!" "Teleportation? That's on the level of True Magic!" "Rin's Zettai Ryouiki? That's on the level of True Magic!" etc, etc
I dunno, some stands are pretty out there.
Like Full power Killer Queen, D4, Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway to Heaven, Weather Report and GE Requiem
Those are things we aint never going to be able to do.
I mean, I was agreeing with you, it was mostly directed to the other guy.
True Magic is about impossibilities. There are things that are outright more immediately destructive or personally powerful. Aoko with True Magic still isn't necessarily going to be able to fuck up a high tier Servant or such. But she can do something that other's can't.
So, like, I don't think The World is True Magic-esque, it's got better comparisons to Time Alter or such. If it started to, say, absorb time from a parallel dimension...well, now you're getting there.

Your examples of Star Platinum and The World are not comparable. That's all I was saying.

Artoria as a Servant, summoned properly to her home turf by an excellent and compatible Master vs. Ostarion the Wraith King from Defense of the Ancients, at full power, with Power Threads, Blademail, Octarine Core, Refresher Orb, Heart of Tarrasque, an eaten Moon Shard and a Divine Rapier. No retainers.
PM vs Exodia
Nasuverse humans can do bullshit like time travel though, they are definitely more advanced than IRL. And Tesla recreated Zeus thunder which is so powerful it can create rifts in space time.
I don't know about Bohemiam Rhapsody and Weather Report being comparable to Magic. The former seems comparable to Flat Snark, but that's still not Magic.
The priest was waiting for the arrival of the princess, who was only an enemy of all of them.
For the priest, the golden princess was the one and only main heroine.
Everyone else was unworthy of his respect, no matter how strong they were.
Tsukihime 2 Prelude III
Well, presumably, increasing HP would somehow make it more difficult for your opponent to chop your head off ("There can be only one!"), especially if using D&D's actual definition of HPs (although I have the impression Nasu uses the term in a JRPG sense).
I thought that was just Zelretch?
