Death battle themself does not count, I need an official source.

Becuase from what I can tell, he doesn't cut, he tears and breaks.

And tearing and breaking don't work. It has to be a cutting edge. A blade.

It's like when you're playing Dungeons and Dragons and you're fighting a monster with DR/15 Slashing. Your barbarian's greatclub, even if you have a strength score of 18, can only do a maximum of 14 points of damage per round. No matter what, you need to pick up a slashing weapon to have any chance of hurting the monster.

You need a specific kind of damage inflicted in a specific kind of way to inflict a wound on Ryuko that she won't instantly regenerate.

Notice he does not break the Boulder, it’s cut in half.
And your analogy is bad. In the example you have that barbarian can kill that monster. He’s doing reduced damage, but he’s still damaging it. Now, two things. Reddit is saying that ryuko has been injured by a sword. So which is it? Does it really need to be a sword or scissors or just something really sharp? And can she survive the destruction of time and space? Cause shadow has.
