Notice you are doing it again.
You are trying to add some pseudo scientific explanation about stamina and whatever while also saying this is video game hp logic.
You know these are mutually exclusive. There's no intersection here. Either it's HP or its not.
You are picking and choosing which parts of the HP system work for you and which of part if your pseudo science works for you. And not acknowledgin the are mutually exclusive AND they have their own faults you don't address.
For example authorial intent clearly shows HP isnt correct. The mere fact that Oda depicts visible damage directly on Logias means his intent is that this isn't HP based. Luffy folded Ceasers face into his fist and that face remained folded for multiple chapters so that the author can convey gat yes, Caeser has been beaten up severely. The fact that Oda displays damage physically and not some vague threshold in space that just gets overcome means oda wants to show that Caeser takes damage when he's actually physically shown beaten up. And you know, Akainu was completely fine.
And of course your entire pseudo science of stamina regeneration falls apart when you consider ZORO CUT MONET AND SHE NEVER HEALED BACK. One tiny cut on her face using haki. And you cannot say she didn't have the stamina or whatever. She even turned FULL SNOW and remade herself BUT SHE WAS STILL CUT. So... no.
It's fine to try and and piece together the mechanics of combat in this story, I've done it too trying to explain how durability varies in the story. The issue for you here is, that you have an agenda. You came into the analysis with an agenda to prove and that's why you keep running into blatant logical fallacies. If you came in trying to understand this from a neutral pov, maybe you could've gone somewhere. Instead now the rest of this argument gonna be me disproving your reasoning
Well that's how it works, sorry, I didn't make one piece, complain to oda about it.
Logia can reform within limitations, probably to do with how severe and damaging the attack is, like sure aokiji was limbless from his fight, but that happened over a 10 day encounter.
Saying pseudo science as a buzzword is only really worthwhile under certain real life circumstances, otherwise it's just someone being unable to accept they're wrong, but in the confines of debating fictional anime powers and stuff, it's a special kind of dumb. Logia are pseudo science in the first place. Wait, so your argument is that if logia aren't hurt, my system is wrong? That's not true at all. We literally see akainu have shake lines, be pushed back, groan in pain, have gritted teeth, and complain about them being haki users, then regenerate. We literally have Jozu breaking aokiji to pieces with a buso attack, then him regenerate. There is more evidence pointing to me being right over you, the opposition literally makes up stuff to cope for their counter arguments, stuff like "well akainu's haki counters their haki" or whatever (When he was literally blindsided and thus wouldn't even have had haki activated at all)
Yes, haki allows you to at the moment of contact, hit the physical body that exists there, congrats on telling us how haki works.
The admirals are both a higher level of character, and also suffered being broken apart, not just some bruises. it's not like aokiji bothered to fix his lip wound or something.
"He was fine but he complained about them being haki users, groaned in pain, gritted his teeth, was pushed back, and had shake lines"
That's not fine.
Wait, what are you talking about?
"that's why you keep running into blatant logical fallacies"
Really, list off the fallacies, I don't think you can, cuz you're just using big words to sound right. I'm literally the only one who isn't fighting for a bias here, the people trying to pretend marco and vista didn't hurt him are admiral fanboys.
