ultimate doesn't always mean final

my physics teacher once told us that penultimate meant "the thing that comes after the ultimate thing"

Yeah I thought it was something like this

It it hard to imagine that something can be better than perfection but then it is hard to imagine that perfection exists because everything that exists seems like it is probably surpassable and so if perfection exists then maybe it is surpassable, just like here

i would take those literal translations with a grain of salt though

成長期 seems to have a more nuanced meaning than "child" and probably refers to a specific stage of growth in children.

完全体 seems to be two words, the first meaning "perfect" or "complete" and the second meaning "body" or "form". It seems like a term used exclusively in fiction, and is notably the japanese name for cell's perfect form.

究極体 is also two words, the first meaning something like "extreme", "final", or "ultimate", and the second again meaning "body" or "form". It is used exclusively in digimon.

I could be wrong about any of that though, that is just some quick googling

the translations are probably roughly accurate though

完全 is a word that is used outside of fiction, but 究極 seems to be used exclusively for anime and stuff.

成長 means to grow apparently, so maybe it refers to the fact that they still got a lot to learn about things and stuff or something

hmmmmmmmmm interesting and in that case if Cell was a digimon then he/it/idk would have at least one more stage to go
