KO and incapacitation are wincons and Kei can't do anything to Dexter if he runs out of IBMs.
If that’s the case what’s stopping Dexter from whipping out the M99 tranq or syringe. Simply out skilling him and then tranq or syringe. Yeah Kei loses
Sba
They're optional equipment. If this is TV Show Dexter then he would have them as standard equipment but this is Books Dexter.
Well even if he had it, Kei could do what Sato did, which was to cut off his limb to prevent a tranquilizer from affecting or he also has some resistance to paralysis inducement.
To be fair I feel like Dexter could probably sense the IBM's, he's got pretty insane senses and straight up precog
Maybe
Yeah they work like stands where only other Ajin can see the IMBs. Similar to dexter’s dark passenger.
So are they intangible or just invisible? Because if they're just invisible is it possible that Dexter could just kill it?
there is nothing on his profile that would lead me to believe they are intangible in any way. Just invisible.
invisible, I am not if he would be able to kill it from the start since their durability will be from 3kj to 3.9kj while Dexter is like 500j using knife to possibly 3kj to 3.9kj using an tire iron. Higher with SA
He wouldn’t be able to see it, since he doesn’t have the ibm particles.
Profile says a strong emotional state would be able to see them though not sure book dexter would get worked up enough over this so probaly doesnt matter much I guess. Eitherway they are just invisible and can be interacted with still, they are tangible things that exist according to the profile, in theory dexter could kill the ibm paritcles and they dont seem very tanky. like king_dom said Dexter's sense's are frankly insane and he basically has precog so it isnt unreasonable to think he could hit the IBM's. Leaning towards dexter at the moment.
Depends, he could also create multiple IBMs at the same time to overwhelm Dexter and Kei has more IBM partricles, so he has better control and can some more IBMs than other ajin. They are also faster than dexter.
He would resist the aspect of being frozen by fear due to being an Ajin. It is like a double edge sword cuz it makes him go mad it could trigger the flood.
It only really makes him go mad if the Dark Passenger is actively trying to make him go mad (which it literally never does in character). So all it will really do as a passive is just make Kei irrationally uncomfortable around Dexter, at most it'll make him really scared but not to the point of madness
Being scare won't really be a problem it would just make attack at range with his IBM as oppose to getting closer to him.
It does matter because he won't be able to see them, which would allow the IBM to get some hits. "they dont seem very tanky," bro they are unfazed by AR bullets and tank point blank shots from AA-12. Also for the pregco, it happens with his dream, so yeah I do not think it combat applicable. The dark passenger would warm him when he is not seeing something, but I am not sure how that works.
M99 puts people to sleep, not paralyze.
I think Dexter's bloodlust would allow him to see them. Dark Passengers should also be able to sense IBMs as they can sense invisible creatures of similar nature.
It also depends on if he's summoning only one of them or multiple at the same time.
Dexter scales directly to skull crushing as he can harm enemies who can withstand attacks from his weapons.
They're only that tanky at their strongest. They begin to deteriorate the moment they're summoned so they'll become less and less durable as time goes.
He isn't faster than the IBM, also Kei would be able to see what the IBM sees, so yeah it would allow him to detect dexter with his IBM. Also even if he sneaks up on him he would need to knock him out and not kill, which I don't think dexter will do since, he will assume that he can't regen. This will give him time to summon an IBM.
doesn't matter tbh since they have standard equipment
As I already mentioned as to why he wouldn't. Can the dark passenger sense radiation?
Regen
He isn't dumb so if one isn't enough he could use multiple at the same time.
I see, either way their body control would allow the IBM to cut trough Dexter's limbs.
They will still be in the street level dura it will just go to the lower bound of their range.
Why does this matter? according to the page they are invisible cause of a perfect "transmittance" according to the page which means light just doesn't reflect off them making them invisble. Not seeing in litteraly any way how sense radiation is even close to being the only way to see or sense them. So I disagree with you and your reasoning.
He may not be faster but he's definitely more agile (speed should just be equalized tbh). I don't know how Kei being able to see what the IBMs see would help against Dexter's stealth other than having more eyes. Their enhanced senses only allow them to detect other invisible beings, not someone who's hiding. Dexter will only need to kill him once to realize he can't be put down. His Dark Passenger can warn him when Kei comes back and summon IBMs.
Is the radiation combat applicable? If I remember correctly, normal people can be around IBMs without suffering any ill effects, or at least no immediate dangerous ones.
Which only work when he dies and the IBMs can't regenerate if their heads are destroyed. Dexter can limit the force of his throws so that they'll knock Kei out but not kill him.
I don't think you understood what I was implying. Kei can only summon IBMs for hours if it's just one of them (since the 30 minute timer applies to each individual). Therefore, he'll have less time if he summons multiple. Also, I don't see anything on his profile that says he has an easier time controlling multiple IBMs compared to other Ajins.
No doubt, but Dexter is also more skilled.
If it falls low enough for them to literally crumble apart then it's enough for Dexter to harm and potentially oneshot them (the baseline of 9-C is 300 J and Dexter is 3000-3900 J).
Well it matters because they are made from unknown radiation, and the other ways to see them are to have hatred towards them, which I doubt dexter would have hatred towards it, or be an ajin. But if you want we can equalize that aspect since they are similar lmk
I just put it there as possible win since dexter could make him go insane or something, but it is not in character for dexter
You should bro, it has been awhile since I read it
I think it has to do with muscle tightening which freezes those who hear it. @King_Dom470 does dexter resist it?
He def faster than kei ofc, but not the IBMs.
Well you said that he could just run away and hide, but I was saying that kei could just use the IBM to follow dexter. Since they have share vision, I think he would know where dexter is given that the IBM is following.
Oh no I wasn't trying to say that radiation would kill dexter or something. The IBM are made from radiation, so the dark passenger would need to sense radiation to sense the IBM. it has some negative effects, but dexter would be fine.
They don't need to die both the IBM and Ajin can regen limbs without dying.
Yeah, but the point of summoning multiple at the same time was to send an all out attack, it is a possibility and if it happens it will be successful since I don't think dexter would be able to handle multiple of them.
Sure
at their peak the tank point blank shots from an AA12, which is 4.2kj they will start their and go down to 3kj if I am not mistaken.
They are similar in some aspects but for the most part they are completely different, first of all the IBM's (as far as I can tell) are basically just really weird invisible particles but they are physical entities, while Dark Passengers on the other hand are ancient demi gods which are non physical and invisible. Also even if Dexter can't physically see the IBM he should be able to just feel the radiation or the Dark Passenger could give him some kind of warning since the DP's can sense emotions.
Maybe? Dexter has a small resistance to chemically induced paralysis. But if he does "resist" it, he wouldn't completely negate it, I think it would just wear off faster.
This would admittedly be a problem but Dexters ability to get little warnings from the DP and his instinctive action should help a lot
