Yeah but Kid has crazy endurance to quote Kachon
Something we never see Darui take advantage of. You generally can tell when someone is using shunshin by visual effects, an example would be here. Darui isn't particularly known for his prowess in shunshin either which is something that shunshin spammers like Ay, Minato, Shisui etc.
Water might be a problem, but lightning is something Kid has pretty good resistance towards as we can see here where he withstands a lightning infused sword strike while weakened without significant damage, and here he tanks a lightning bolt. Electricity also doesn't travel through his mechs either so he's probably all good on that front.
No you really don't. Shunshin has no visual queues. Even the panel you sent doesn't show any.
Chakra enhancements are extremely common, he doesn't need to be known for it to say he would use it. People like Shisui are known for it because they're so good and efficient with the technique, not because they're the only ones to use it. Literally genin Sakura used it on screen.
Yeah I've seen that on his profile. Daruis best moves are probably going to be water release and laser circus. Iirc that's a huge weakness for OP characters.
Sakura disappears from view, then reappears which we never see Darui do.
I bring this up because there are known spammers of shunshin and Darui is not one of them. If this was something Darui used often it would have been brought up.
She doesn't…? And we see people use Shunshin without them "disappearing from the view". For example.
Not really. They're not "spammers of shunshin" compared to the other characters. They're just specifically really good at it. Again, this is a genin level technique. The Raikage for example uses lightning release shunshin but it's only really mentioned by word once because it's a unique ability.
Top middle panel.
If you can't tell when people are using Shunshin then how do you know that he's using it here?
Still, it seems a little disingenuous to say that its his starting move.
She's not even shown in the panel that's just her footsteps. I honestly don't remember a single other scene where that's shown even when shunshin is outright stated to have been used.
It's verbatim stated in one of the pages by Obito…
It doesn't need to be a starting move, just something he's willing to use if he needs it. Especially if he were to struggle with closing the distance
I’ll concede on the rest of that, but Kid has Instinctive Reaction and perception amps, so he has answers to Darui’s speed amps. Also Kid’s strongest attacks should be able to do serious damage, Punk Vise will crush him with higher LS while Punk Cornadio scales heavily above the 33 Exaton Value
The link isn't working. But Daruis water release is pretty wide
Would he know the laser circus is made up of water and lightning from just looking at it?
Nothing precog+levitation couldn't handle.The link isn't working. But Daruis water release is pretty wide
It just being water doesn't mean auto defeat, it has to submerge him knee deep in water and as soon as he's out of the water then all of his energy returns. Basically Darui needs to consistently submerge his bottom half in water to win.Not only that, his laser circus is essentially danmaku composed of water
Mind you, he can control the beams so precisely that he could hit Kinkaku while he was holding Samui as a human shield without doing anything to Samui herself. And the amount of beams he can shoot is pretty wild.
Meaning 2/3 of his go-to abilities are pretty wide range water based jursu. In character Darui would probably use Shunshin to get point blank close to Kid, then blast him with either laser circus or the water wall jutsu.

Either way this looks pretty in favor of Darui so I'm voting him for now.
Nobody wants to debate about Daruis goofy ahh
How good is the precog? Because that's a pretty wide range to avoid from point blank range.
Hmmm then just hitting him would suffice ig? Darui has an over 2x AP advantage and can hit his target with several beams at once. That should be enough to at least incap him until Darui blasts him with his other water release.
No, not at all.
Beams not even a meter wide, and Kid has insane stamina as was highlighted above, on top of his durability upscaling from his value so neither their water property nor a.p will incap him
Which will only maybe keep him still for a second before it washes away.
Speed equal
