tf you mean "we aren't doing this again"? She was literally cut open a few minutes before she did this feat and had just fought off 4 other Grade 1/Semi Grade 1 sorcerers right before fighting Naoya, she WAS heavily injured, you can't ignore that
no rush and that's fine
she made movements slower than him that could be measured in the same ballpark
or maybe her feat is inconsistent? with the clear progression of speed i see no reason to find his speed inconsistent
we made a whole staff thread about this and you choose to come into a thread and your new reason for why it's not valid is "she's tired".
Well assuming the calculation is even correct (I'll see if the person is willing to share their contention with the calculation once he's online), yes, she's a bit slower but in the same ballpark. Which is important for the next part.
If her feat is inconsistent, it is our job to remedy it so as to make it consistent. Not go "oh let's not address this at all because her speed is inconsistent". You have to ask what would make her feat consistent in this case. If she can easily react to beyond Subsonic speed, and even reacted to Cursed Womb Naoya's Supersonic speed, why was she shocked by his speed and miss an attack from point blank against him? One solution is that Naoya was moving faster than he had before. That fixes the inconsistency. This isn't the ONLY solution, but I'm only demonstrating here. If we can address and find a solution to this, I'd be satisfied. But ignoring it isn't conducive to anything productive.
Link it
It can also be entirely possible that Maki “intercepting” Naoya was never meant to be a speed feat but wtver
The inconsistency only exists because you’re content on scaling Maki to something she probably shouldn’t scale to.
This is actually a good point, piercing blood is canonically over Mach 1 and most calcs of characters blocking/dodging it put them over the Maki calc, also in most feats the characters are blatantly relative to/faster than PB so its not just saying "calcs > author intent", if they were struggling with its speed then sure but people like Kenjaku can dodge it without even trying
We ain't doing it again. In all examples, character is actually struggling immensely against PB speed. Them being portrayed visually relative to it is just prime example of what evading punches rule meant to prevent.
Looks like he wasn't reacting to it until it got waaay to close. Just like that Maki bullet feat and the hakari one
Yeah, it's somewhat ambiguous situation.
He did not react at all
Nah, some feats are just subsonic.
No, there is a hard limit on how close stuff can get to your face before any movement requires you to clear the way faster than it moves, but there is a rule against such dodges when the narrative doesn’t support it so as to not make two peak humans with near equal stats supersonic with calcs because the artist happened to draw one of them dodging a punch mm from their face.
You know what I mean, it got right to his eyes but he wasn't surprised at all when he dodged it. Typically you're a bit taken aback when dodging an attack at that close proximity
Folks will say anything for the downgrade
Delete this comment dude. We don't need that shit here.
Then you argue that and quit ragebaiting by posting "larping" memes.
Did you like, even attempt to take part in the CRT that made this change?
Blatantly wrong
Only them and barely.
Practically in all cases, he manages to dodge it at almost last moment, while it being fired from several meters at least. And he is forced to use gravity against Supernova(which is slower than PB). Gege clearly intended for Kenjaku to be slower than PB
Kenjaku is above the heavy hitters and other high tiers. There's a reason Kenjaku still kept up with Yuki and Choso while restricted by Garuda and it ain't because they were weakened. Also, what becomes of PB if high tiers are above supersonic with hypersonic perception? It starts to become a dismissal of Gege's choice in values like Mach 3 Naoya being above the superhuman Maki and Toji.
Gege also portrayed that Toji would be able to easily handle Mach 3 Naoya, and that every time Maki was blitzed before hand she literally COULDN'T SEE HIM, after she was able to see him she was dodging all of his attacks with ease
Less than 0.01 second domain, but yeah
Doesn't say easily, just says handle and we come to realize the way Toji handles such speed is through sensing changes in the air not his physical prowess.
When you say we, do you mean the readers or powerscalers
Reread.
Yes we all know that.
