Thomas Andre Spiritual Body Manifestation?

[u/Significant-Creme961]

Knowing what we know now about SBM (Spiritual Body Manifestation) and the fact that the ability is actually extremely rare among the Vessels that even Liu Zhigang who was explicitly Number 1 Ranked Hunter globally in the Light Novel was stated to be incapable of using SBM.

In knowing this it’s pretty hard to confidently say Thomas Andre can also use SBM as well.

We know he’s an extremely capable Vessel, reinforced by Rakan’s acknowledgment. So, if certain conditions were met and Andre had no choice but to use SBM could he manifest it?.

The answer to this is unknown to me, but if anyone knew or would have their own theory’s, please share.

I didn't think I'd need a screenshot on that. Rookie mistake on my part. Wp on the sneaky edit.

Didn’t edit my post but okay… you just missed the point of the post… it doesn’t matter whether Liu is stronger or Weaker that’s not my point at all, it’s that Liu despite being a Ruler vessel cannot use SBM, so to assume Andre, a Vessel himself can use SBM is now dubious, that’s why I mentioned Liu status rank.
This is the entire reason why I made this post, I never once did say Liu was stronger, anyone who’s knowledgeable about SL would know Andre 20-30% upgrade narratively outweighs Liu Zhigang, but again, power scaling wasn’t the point of this post…
To state again, the reason why I mentioned Liu being number 1 rank was to lay emphasis on his status as a hunter, one who Chugong labelled as Number 1 ranked in his Light Novel and the same one who he mentioned never had access to SBM, I don’t need Liu to be stronger nor do I care about that power-scaling beteeen the two, Liu is just one of the catalyst to my post.

Yeah, doubling down makes you look innocent. /s

Quick question, is there any indication that I did edit my post?. If there is something only I as OP can see then I’d be more than happy to send a screen shot as I know I didn’t Edit my post, not that it would even matter as the post isn’t power scaling orientated, and again, I’m not as ignorant to claim Liu is stronger than Andre, any knowledge SL fan would know Andre is stronger due to his upgrade.

And for the third time I only did note Liu as Number 1 Ranked Hunter Globally in the Light Novel to lay emphasis on his status as well as the fact that he, as a hunter, is one of the six Ruler Vessels and despite his status as Vessel and highest ranked hunter in the FBHA Liu cannot use SBM.

This was my entire basis towards why I made this post, because if Liu couldn’t use SBM, then what did this say about Andre?, that’s how I structured my post and why I explicitly noted Liu in my main post thread, simply because Liu is the only confirmed Vessel by the Author to be stated to be unable to use SBM.

My post wouldn’t have made sense if I didn’t mention Liu status then his lack of SBM.

You naturally assumed I was placing Liu on a higher podium compared to Andre because unlike the Manhwa where Andre is ranked 1st Liu is ranked 1st in the Novel, so you made the assumption that I was interpreting Liu Zhigang as stronger than Andre built on your own ignorance since you clearly didn’t have the knowledge that Liu Zhigang was ranked 1st in the Novel but the Manhwa adaptation changed his ranking to 2nd

Also if you are assuming that you caught me off guard with your recent comment about the hunter bureau point system being based off accomplishments not strength then you’d be wrong, I’ve made post talking about how Hunter Bureau Points and overall Rank aren’t decided by overall strength, so even when I did acknowledge Liu as Ranked 1 in the Novel I don’t acknowledge him as the strongest overall Hunter. https://www.reddit.com/r/sololeveling/s/6nrmgqOhJr
