Definitely hard disagree, especially when they were debating the canonicity of Danganronpa 0 of all things

Even in a CQC fight with Afton's death touch, Junko is still winning especially since Kodaka has outright stated that Junko could defeat Sakura Oogami in a 1v1 if she has any usable weapon on hand, which she always does, and a basic Monokuma unit could also fight Sakura to a standstill. Hell even Afton's technopathy isn't that good in this fight because despite remnant possession, we see from FNAF 3 that Afton can still be bound in multiple ways by his programming. At most it could cause errors like being suddenly disabled, but Junkos AI is far and away more advanced than anything Afton can throw at her or even mess with. Just because it's supernatural doesn't automatically make remnant possession a superior hax ability than Junkos far more powerful programming.

Remnant possession is definitely Afton's biggest advantage, but we also know that it has exploitable weaknesses in heat which Junko does have the means to exploit. The inconsistency mentioned is moot because heat only failed to destroy certain animatronics, not remnant itself, and we know that Afton can be locked into a building and burned just like Henry did, so Junko can easily recreate the same scenario. There's also nothing stopping Junko from just sending a single Monokuma unit to grab Afton and shoot him into space, and most of her executions would be instant wins since they can get around Remnants immortality. Transmutation into butter isn't something Afton could survive.

Ultimate Analyst can tell her basically everything about Afton from his thinking to his remnant to his weaknesses, and Junko has the superior army to exploit basically all of it. Honestly, outright denying that Junko could just purify Aftons soul away simply because "it was weird when that happened" is wild when DR3 outright confirms that ghosts and supernatural elements are present within DR. I feel like the argument "Agony/Remnant is supernatural and not something Junko has seen before so she can't analyze it well" is an insane invented weakness to give Junko when even with a brain lobotomy she was capable of perfectly predicting up to two years into the future in a single moment.

I respect the effort put into the blog but unfortunately hard disagree, I really think it misrepresented Junko and her full breadth of abilities.

You should team up with u/Moofieee to do a debunk post.

lmao. i mean its a blog so like, everyone's entitled to their own opinions on a VS matchup, I just think the stuff they used and their logic is questionable, plus DR is usually heavily downplayed in a lot of vs debating so this targets **me** specifically.

This blog definitely feels like they're more familiar with FNAF than they are with DR, and even then FNAF powerscale discussions are hard to properly evaluate imo specifically because the vagueness of its lore meaning that lots of stuff used is very much up for discussion on whether Afton could/should have it or can/can not do certain feats. For example, the Phantom Animatronics as a viable wincon for him are just absurd since there is literally no indication ever its something he himself is doing and just an assumption that VSBW is making just because (seriously there is no source on how/why Afton is making the phantoms). Most FNAF theorists cant even decide on if the books are canon to the games or not, with SotM the latest release heavily implying *they aren't*, so a lot of Afton's abilities come from compositing remnant powers alongside just assuming he could do them just because specific use cases of remnant showcase these abilities, whereas DR with its multiple confirmed canon continuities I feel are more acceptable to consider for Junko just because it's showcasing her (mostly skill based) base abilities in different scenarios as opposed to a true composite or inventing new powers outright. You could consider remnant powers for Afton based on the books even if they aren't canon to the game timeline, but the books have such a different plot and context to a lot of their showings that just granting them to Afton outright is questionable.

They cite VSBW as a source specifically and VSBW is so wrong about FNAF lore it's hilarious, so it's not something I'll really hold *against* the blog per se, but definitely something I'll bring up. Access to things like the Mimic, Glitchtrap, and everything post FNAF 6 in the games timeline genuinely can't be considered for Afton since they're just assumptions of things he maybe does or doesn't have since FNAF lore is constantly retconning itself.

But a blog has never been debunked before, you'd be making history! Also it'd be funny.
