You are basically saying "these are completely ordinary humans, until for whatever reason we need them to not be completely ordinary humans" I'm saying "These are not completely ordinary humans, because they are capable of reaching heights that ordinary earth humans are not capable of" You want it to be that the baseline is "human until I make an exception" I want it to be "not human, because I can make any exception I want and justify it later". Normal humans can't manifest their willpower to chain a newborn star inside their heart and use that to fire laserbeams from their fists. A Sun Soul Human monk can. Normal humans can't hate so hard that they come back as rotting corpses bent on vengeance. A human Revenant did exactly that. Your concern seems to be that commonfolk will be made special by this, but I don't see how that is the case. Just because someone has potential, doesn't mean they would utilize that potential. Look at Dragonball Z, Videl and Krillin are completely normal humans... capable of flight and energy beams. The humans of Dragonball Z, through hard work, training, and the right conditions are capable of flight. But the vast vast majority of humanity on that planet... don't put in that effort. They don't learn these things. Those humans are not normal humans, because they are capable of things we humans IRL are incapable of, but that hasn't changed what day to day life actually looks like for the majority of them.</blockquote>
