Interesting how you left out that,
in the main canon (the anime), the travel that Ichigo does and the travel Yhwach does takes the
almost same exact time if u wanna use episodes as time-frames so this is indeed not a good example:
- Ichigo's travel starts at the beginning Episode 19 (01:23) and ends it at around the middle of Episode 21 (07:45).
- Yhwach's travel starts at the end of Episode 21 (22:32) and ends it at at the end of Episode 23 (23:45).
If you wanna use the cinematic time-frames that we see therefore:
- Ichigo took exactly 2 episodes and 6 minutes 22 seconds to reach the palace.
- Yhwach took exactly 2 episodes and 1 minute 13 seconds to reach the palace.
First off, it is
never stated anywhere that the anime is always right and the manga is wrong now.
The anime simply does not show it. In the two episodes you mention, the events basically happen in the anime while, in the manga, Yhwach was already there.
In the manga,
Yhwach is already up there within the SAME chapter.
The anime simply does not show him and presents the events in a different order.
You cannot talk to me about author intent while avoiding the manga, which was literally drawn by the author himself, and instead using the anime, which involves cinematic and pace changes.
The author who draw the manga made Yhwach reach up there within the same chapter, but took 20 for Ichigo. Doesn't that tell you something? Be honest.
The anime doesn't even necessary contradict it anyway, since it decides to simply display events in different orders.
- Over 5 thousand kilometers is NOT short, it'd still take almost 5 HOURS for someone that is moving at the speed of sound to do that travel, I genuinely think powerscaling is kinda messing with people's brains a bit if 0.46x the diameter of the earth is being called a "short" distance. No offense but c'mon man they are basically traveling the radius of the earth and you are calling it a short distance, there's really nothing wrong with it being 5 thousand kms but people just want big higher number because wank.
- Literally only Auswahlen is shown as being that fast which is something literally no one scales to directly, again Darkness is not from Base Yhwach, do not mention it.
I personally did not say it was short. If you read my message again, I never said that. The value I proposed was only around three times higher.
What I am saying is that Ichigo taking that long is intentional, in the same way that certain techniques or attacks being extremely fast is also intentional.
But you started by defending the thread and saying that 50 km made sense, even though
it is contradicted by basically every dialogue and narrative event. The current calc was reached
because the thread reached that conclusion, but for you
50 km was fair, despite the fact that it would ignore common sense about either Ichigo’s speed or the one-week Shunpo statement or the fact that both the manga and novel says it is a dimensional space, so it is not like if you fly in outer space you find it.
