The only known way in Tomba, what are his other weapons? the guy I assume has soul destroying attacks, powerful blades, vast magic etc....all of which dont work of course?
You said it was the source of Kains power, its the source of some of Kains powers is the right term. And no, you see the sword is only the conduit through which Kain draws magic from the pillars, to put it in simpler terms. The sword is like a cable, going from Kain to the pillars/conceps, and he draws power from them himself. So you would still technically have to have Kains power not just his sword. The pig would gain simply the elements the sword has.
The Evil pig sounds weak, this bag nonsense is a no limits fallacy by the sounds of it, the pig prob has no real feats taking a look at the universe in question, Kain uses one hand to break its neck and leaves it dead.
What plot device? is it stated as such and what was the device and its powers?
Ill w8 until I see evidence for this actual move before I make judgement, I want to know why the weird caveman thing survived it, what the pig can actually do once Kain is frozen anyway, how long the duration is, we cannot assume its infinite, so we have to wonder how long the pig has actually done it.
Stupid statement. But I imagined such from you.
Ill answer it out of boredom, this would only work if he froze himself....
If it's anything like how the Bronze flight freeze time in Azeroth, it's not a matter of doing it for a period of "time". The Bronze dragons (in very simple words) press the freeze button and do what needs to be done. Then they press the unfreeze button and things continue as they were.
In Warcraft, it's not a matter of holding time frozen, but a matter of stopping and starting it. Freezing and unfreezing. It being frozen is a state inbetween their actions and nothing they do anything to maintain.
But I know nothing of this pig. I'm just giving a Warcraft perspective.
Tomba is not a cave man, he's a Jungle boy. Get it right.
Tomba was not frozen because the Evil Pig chose not to freeze him. He said it himself: "There, I've stopped time for the entire world except for you and me. Nothing moves, Nobody talks. Even color is gone! (mature world BT)"
The entire adventure of Tomba stopping the Evil Pigs is nothing but a game to the last Evil Pig.
The only reason he was defeated was because he let himself be fought as a part of his game.
