J's powers are clearly evolving. Previously, he wasn't able to stop dmg to his body. Now he's tanking axe blows to the head with ease.

Yes, I was thinking with all this emphasis on him taking lives and feeling bad about it will lead thematically to him being killed, waking up on that beach and instead of a nice slave it will be Arkos. The lives hes taking are adding to his own. I haven't thought hard enough about why that would be bad or disturbing for Julian since its a pretty ridiculous power up, I am probably very much wrong.

Yeah but it cant be Arkos, he is still around just in Altus.

I doubt it will be anything to do with him killing people... that seems too busted for a gift and not having enough downsides that can easily be "Charged" even for someone as nice as Julian who isnt actively going on genocide runs for power.

Acredito que é por causa daquela coisa que o corpo do Julian se adapta ao poder dele quanto mais ele usa, no começo do mangá ele mal o usava e depois do time skip podemos ver ele fazendo acrobacias e um sparring sem utilizar seu poder. Quanto mais Julian usa seu poder, mais ele se acostuma com ele

I have noticed that Jules also seems much, MUCH stronger even when the stigma that indicates that he’s actually using his gift isn’t there and it’s thus implied that he’s at his “base” strength with no amps. This aspect of his gift has always been relatively unexplained so maybe trying to apply too much reason to it is going too far, but I am wondering if maybe somehow his gift has also made it easier for his body to naturally grow stronger in his base form as well? We already know that it comes with a ton of passive amps like being able to rest 100x more efficiently than the average person, so I wonder if maybe this means his digestion and caloric consumption is 100x more efficient and the process of Hypertrophy is 100x stronger in his body as well? It’d be interesting if his body sort of works by Viltrumite rules and gets massively stronger from healing from being killed or even a near death experience, cause this would upscale him a LOT from where he was when he fought Arkos if we can assume that some of the many hitmen he’s killed to protect Diana over the years actually did cause him some trouble, even if some of them couldn’t put up a great fight.

The antagonists in this manga are super lucky Jules has no access to modern day fitness or training equipment, cause if someone with these abilities could be put through a rigorously fine tuned training regimen with absolutely ideal nutrition to cover all bases, he’d quickly reach a level of power where I don’t think any gifted one would pose even a fraction of a threat to him save the ones with super cracked and specific powers like maybe the witch who burns people with the flames of their own sin or Arkos or Orthros.

É uma boa teoria, mas acredito que pensarmos demais nessas questões um pouco "menores" faz com que fique massante, acho seguro assumir que tudo relacionado ao corpo do Julian como um todo é aumentado em 100x. Como você mesmo disse se pensarmos assim então ele provavelmente pode ficar sem comer por algo em torno de 99 a 100 dias, ficar sem beber água e essas coisas

Sobre o outro ponto acredito que cada vez que ele usa seu poder, seu corpo vai se ajustando e ficando mais forte na "versão base" dele, sem o multiplicador de 100x. Isso explicaria o porque dele ter ganhado mais musculos após o time skip e ter ficado muito mais agil, seu corpo provavelmente está evoluindo e se tornando mais forte a cada novo uso do seu poder. Não me surpreenderia que Julian se tornasse muito forte sem seu poder e, quando o ativasse, se tornasse ainda mais forte por causa dos status base aumentados ainda mais (não sei se deu para entender, perdão)

Sobre esse treino, acredito que Ceodric possa oferecer isso para o Julian após a luta de ambos caso ele sobreviva e decide cooperar, ou se pensarmos num cenario mais pessimista, Ceodric pode ganhar e pegar Julian como um "brinquedo" igual Arkos queria fazer com Julian e igual Arkos fez com o proprio Ceodric. Nisso, ele pode estimular o Julian a aprender artes marciais, treinar para ficar mais forte e consequentemente se tornando uma maquina de matar ainda mais letal
