Though I do think it's a little weird that they put so much effort into animating Fubuki's face for one interaction which seemed to be the main "catch" of the trailer that they wanted people to focus on to point at and go "Look how much better it is!" when it's probably not going to be commonly seen in the season, hope they prove me wrong though.
 
For me there are two possibilities, the direction is trying to hide the fact that the new season is much lower than everyone believes or the animation will be so good that it will blow everyone's minds when it comes out.

I hope it's the second one

Well I would at least like to mention that a lot of people, when season 2's big trailer dropped, were actually underestimating the quality by a fair amount back then. Of course season 2 was by no means amazing in quality but the trailer was mainly of normal scenes in the first episode or 2 which I even pointed out as a reason to not judge the entire season too harshly. A lot of people didn't care about that though and just said the whole season would be awful. Thankfully the quality was still beyond what a lot of those fans were expecting and honestly I think the same thing will happen here, even if that one instance with Fubuki is a tad bit odd. We haven't gotten even the smallest bit of real fight scenes yet and I think it's for a good reason. And obviously the fight scenes matter the most.

I’m saying I think this is going to be some JJK S2 “animators worked to the bone getting episodes done just before they’re aired”.

In JJK's case it was more so that the episodes were essentially completed but animators were given strict and harsh deadlines to make parts of those episodes while the show was being broadcasted, which is insane of course. And it led to them not being able to actually finish their idealized versions of some of the more exciting things like Sukuna Vs. Mahoraga. I would EXTREMELY doubt that a similar case would be seen here.

I could believe that some of the fight scenes aren't fully finished yet (as-in they need to be polished but have mostly already been worked on). But I can be pretty much certain that a lot of the fights are already done and ready to be aired considering that the season drops in a matter of literal days. If they wanted to show us any action they could've but chose not to. Well they sort of did with that first hype trailer of Garou Vs. RR and Bug GOAT the strongest Demon, but that is of course a different case.

tbh we never got an explanation for that Blast X Amai scene a while back.

The purpose of it was to serve as a context for what motivates Amai Mask to try to uphold, maintain, and create the image of the ideal Hero despite his own major flaws and insecurities.

Amai Mask is actually one of the best written OPM characters because at heart he is a very good person that genuinely wants to protect people, but the very people he wants to protect would hate him for being who he is, so he puts on a "Handsome" or "Sweet" Mask to cover up the reality and to maintain his image, but in doing so, he causes himself a mountain of stress, anxiety, and anger, which builds up to the point that he acts more and more like a Monster, the more Human he tries to be. Only when he drops the persona, drops his idealization of the perfect Hero, and accepts himself for who he is, can he reach his full potential as a Hero and as a person.

Blast's encounter with Amai Mask, or rather how it influenced him, is a large part of what gave him his motivation for all of this. That's the reason for it existing basically.

Scales to >Mach 1000 via upscaling from Garou's MHS mach 820 calc.

Yikes, was hoping for the former since I wanted to do an unequalized MHS+ match since the other character was also in the 3500+ range, but thanks for the answer!

Why do the two famous OPM fan comics always depict God as some higher-dimensional being, especially the first one(cminglap)? Where did the author get that idea, since as far as I know we barely know anything about God’s status?
Click to expand...
Because some people associate God with higher dimensional beings or a being that exists beyond the universe. I know because I was like that before, and so were many others, hence the idea of God being a higher dimensional being in some Japanese fiction
 
Do we assume Garou could create a stabilized black hole capable of lasting more than a few moments?
He did create one to make GRB and one in IO to clean debris, but they only lasted a few moments.

The other one was the gravity knuckles of Blast.

The answer is yes though. He can do it.

So, what you're saying is if he met an opponent who had horrible LS but was impossible for him to put down or BFR he could just trap them inside a black hole and call it a day?
 
I've seen calcs that derivate LS from resisting a black hole's pull before. Realistically simply having Lighstpeed movement could be enough to break out of it. But achieving LS irl would require High 3-A amounts of energy. So, assuming a character resist spaghettification and has high 3-A dura allowing them to survive, but crappy LS would trapping them on a black hole be a proper wincon?

Just durability? then no, they shouldn't be able to escape.
