Baki speed revision

If this feat gets removed, I would suggest Yujiro catching an arrow at point blank range to be calculated as a potential replacement feat.
 
Even assuming it is fallacy, it won’t be a nonsequitur. What I said was related to what we are talking about. The fall is an outlier and we know why it’s there, practically every writer does it.
Not all writers do free-fall damage to their characters.
I support that this should be taken into consideration on a case by case basis.
I remember Baki jumping off a cliff, despite having used techniques to survive.
The difference between Town level and others is considerable.
That's why I was wondering if it wasn't an Outlier.
And I also wonder if Retsu's Gaiden is really canon, there are many intending to level up to mountain level made from there.
 
it’s case by case barely. Definitely not for Baki though, they have way to many feats above pretty much any fall for that to not be the outlier.
 
Wall level is definitely an outlier, but Town Level is also way too high when you take into consideration that the Yujiro who performed that feat scales to like, the Death Row Convicts.

Dude's stated outright to constantly get stronger in each new arc, which means it's not inconsistent that way back during Maximum Tournament he was getting bodied by Doppo until he used the Demon Back. In turn, Shibukawa can eat hits from Doppo and raw strength/durability wise he's one of the weakest members of the recurring cast.

If it were just a matter of Yujiro being the power ceiling even at his weakest, Town Level would probably be fine, but early Yujiro was just kind of a wimp compared to what he'd become.

Read this profile for me, kay?
 
The concept of "Prime Doppo" has had multiple CRTs about it to debunk it as a headcanon though.

It's literally based off of one throwaway line about how "he can't stay in his prime forever" but current Doppo is in fact stated outright to be stronger than he's ever been.

I am not. I believe it happens in the first manga, but I don't remember the specific chapter.
Grappler Baki Chapter 157, "Yujiro vs the Bow."

The bow in question was large, requiring 200kg of force to pull back. The custom titanium-alloy arrows moved fast enough to go, from my understanding, clean through a one-ton moose.

In the moment the bowstring was released, Yujiro went from what I think is over half of a full body length away from the bow, arms spread, to past the arrow, holding it, with his other hand further back than that one, and called the arrow slow.
