Rules for evidence and theory debate

Use sources, mark interpretation clearly, challenge the argument instead of the author, and update a theory when the manga changes the facts.
A useful contribution

Help readers verify a claim, understand its uncertainty, or compare it with a competing explanation.

01

Start with evidence

Support factual claims with manga scenes, quotes, chapters, or official material. If a point cannot be sourced, label it as interpretation instead of presenting it as canon.

02

Use Evidence Chips responsibly

An Evidence Chip can support one theory and challenge another. Add both FOR and AGAINST evidence when each side changes how the claim should be judged.

03

Vote on evidence strength

Judge whether the source actually changes the argument. A theory you like can rely on weak evidence, while a theory you dislike can still cite a strong source.

04

Keep discussions contextual

Respond to the thesis, the evidence, or the interpretation in front of you. Challenge claims directly, cite sources when possible, and do not turn disagreement into an attack on the author.

05

Respect spoilers and status changes

Follow spoiler controls and treat active, dormant, superseded, confirmed, and debunked theories according to their current evidence state.

06

Moderate with cited reasons

Explain theory status changes, source corrections, and content flags with a specific reason. Moderation should leave a trace readers can understand.
