It's not actually stated that he can sense killing intent specifically, and that really doesn't make too much sense when he can dodge random fire as well. Also, my point is that he can detect someone like Genos' intent, but Orochi isn't anything like Genos. Plus, who says he was even looking out for Orochi's attack before he got hit?

Anyway, like Tural said, his legs were ripped off. The guy's slower, but still fast enough to dodge the brunt of Genos' blast after it was fired (I think he was hit by the blast itself, but outmanoeuvred the explosion, which is actually even more impressive if you really think about it because this guy would have cleared a building in the time of an explosion's expansion).

I'm not sure what you mean by Genos's intent and Orochi. Both were going for the kill.

As for the legs thing i believe thats a different argument. Orochi seemed to move faster than his senses.
 
I gotta clock in to work so now I'm gonna miss the released of the chapter but let's hope for speed and stat upgrades all around.

Again, nothing suggests it's killing intent (and, once again, that would make no sense because he can detect random fire) or that AC could even sense Orochi's intent.

But he's unable to dodge with normal speed.

For example, the Flash can easily see a bullet, but he wouldn't be able to dodge it if his legs and arms were lopped off.
 
My point there is that even if he can react, it’s not necessarily within his capabilities to avoid it without his feet.

Take many horror movies where the murderer is walking towards their weakened victim. They’re more than capable of reacting and even moving, but they’re just not fast enough.

That all depends on if he can even sense Orochi, or if Awakened Cockroah is really a reliable source.

Also, I doubt that Orochi wouldn’t be FTL if Atomic Samurai is upgraded. So you might have that to look forward to.
 
Random question. Would just a single quote from ONE be enough to upgrade Saitama's speed even if it is laughably above anything else in the series? Just a hypothetical question.
 
Probably not. We disregarded an interview statement about planet-busting for similar reasons.

Do you mean Murata saying Saitama can probably bust a planet? AFAIK it was disregarded since Murata said his words should be taken with a grain of salt.
 
@Kin Then it’s probably mislabeled or overgeneralised because it’s not his intent to aim at him. It’s technically killing intent, I guess, but not exactly in the traditional sense (like dodging a brick purposely shot down to kill someone during a firefight based on the shooter’s killing intent).

@Tural It was actually removed before that whole ordeal. Basically, we accepted it because of a claim from the webcomic and the Boros statement from the guide, but we dropped it because the Boros statement was retranslated.

The fact that AC says "What are you doing?" right after being stabbed makes me think he didn't even perceive the horn moving towards him. Who knows.
 
I don’t think so, in all honesty. We didn’t (at that point) treat his word as lesser than ONE, more as a proxy of the guy’s authorial intent. So they weren’t really seen as being on different levels.

Plus, if we did accept this stuff, there’d be Mob Psycho scaling.

I guess that’s true.

Another issue, though, is having any backing for his claim, or knowing if AC can even detect Orochi.
 
He says "intent" in general, so I would assume Orochi has at least some intent.

Now, there is no backup for that statement except the existance of other relativistic/FTL moments.

We have:
Genos' sub rel fight against G4.

AS's beam deflection.

FF's moves in the webcomic (correct me if I'm wrong)

Murata throwing Geryu's speed, with Released Boros scaling massively above him.

Another Genos feat (I don't remember why it was disregarded, but it had something to do with the frozen blood on Tatsumaki's hands when fighting Neuron Psykos).

HE's balls called sometimes"light" and sometimes "heat".

Boros' FTL kick, but it wasn't accepted because the formula contradicted the laws of physics. Tho I think his aura should prevent him from breaking those laws and provide free movement.
 
So, that'd also mean everyone else is slower than light
What? Where are you getting that from? If Flashy is stated to be the fastest S-Class and is SoL, but then another S-Class hero performs a FTL feat, Flashy would just scale above that. We do that for everything.

For example: Boros' strongest, and final attack being High 6-A+, but then because he was stated to be stronger than Orochi, we scale him to 5-C+, and Low 5-B
 
Also, for HE's light balls, they don't fall under at least 3 of the criteria. HE is not a reliable source, as he says his power comes from a "mysterious source."
 
AC doesn't sense the light's intent, but the shooter's intent.
Exactly. If you were to have a gun, and pointing at me, but then because I can sense your intent, I move out of the way right before you shoot it, how would that scale me to the bullet?

Which is stated to be the same as Vaccine Man's and Choze, VM's in particular being stated to be bio energy from the environment.

I meant in the logic of the guide itself, not in general.

Maybe.
Now, there is no backup for that statement except the existance of other relativistic/FTL moments.

We have:
Genos' sub rel fight against G4.
It’s like 8x lower than SoL, IIRC. But I could see FTL from that.
AS's beam deflection.
We can’t compare AS’ slashes and AC as of yet.

In fact, AS’ slashes probably scales somewhere around, directly to, or above people like Bomb and Darkshine that have scaling above Post-Rover Garou, who could dodge attacks from a partially transformed Orochi.
FF's moves in the webcomic (correct me if I'm wrong)
They’re also mistranslations. For example, lightspeed flash and lightspeed fist are flashy flash and flashy fist.
Murata throwing Geryu's speed, with Released Boros scaling massively above him.
Again, not really comparable to our current knowledge.
Another Genos feat (I don't remember why it was disregarded, but it had something to do with the frozen blood on Tatsumaki's hands when fighting Neuron Psykos).
It was disregarded because it was just based on a spout of blood. The feat wasn’t even light-speed, and came from a vastly upgraded Genos.
HE's balls called sometimes"light" and sometimes "heat".
They’re typically called light in the sense that they’re bright, and Drive Knight’s data only says ‘mysterious light energy’.

Either way, the projectiles are guided and orbs under his own power, so I doubt they’d actually be light-speed even if they were actually photons (debatable, since they explode on contact).
Boros' FTL kick, but it wasn't accepted because the formula contradicted the laws of physics. Tho I think his aura should prevent him from breaking those laws and provide free movement.
It’s not that simple. The calculation was based on the energy needed to melt his ship, but light-speed alone is infinite energy, and literally no calculation like that is actually designed for genuine supra-light velocities. See the problem?

Like I said, it’s possible, but they don’t move like light. HE commands them under his own power, and as orbs that explode on contact.

In all honesty, even if we do accept FTL for characters on his level, we should never use that (or a lot of other stuff, honestly) as proof in any circumstance.

What about atomic slashing the big one out of existence? I feel that's an underrated speed feat.
 
How can it be calculated? We don't know the speed of the orb. But I still think that executives can be upscaled from the speed of sound though. I was told that disaster level can't be used for speed but there are several characters who has speed rating because of their level

Wouldn't it be possible to calculate the speed of destabilizing it on a molecular level? The other orbs all explode otherwise.

By speed of sound you mean Sonic?
