Transcendents in Re Zero are stated many times to be able to dodge raindrops:
In addition to these feats we also have multiple feats of people below the level of transcendents having such precision they can incapacitate a part of your body ie leg, avoiding all your bones, nerves, blood vessels and muscles
Now again how is it possible to cut someone in such a way you can see their musculature, without touching their blood vessels or nerves? These are again impossible feats, Wilhem's feat however I suppose could be accomplished if you're just really skilled.
Adding on to this even at the lower levels of "skill" there are a few feats which come to mind which should be impossible:
I think the Ram and Elsa feats are on the borderline if not over the borderline of being impossible.
So how do we explain the characters consistently doing these impossible stuff? I already started to explain when I mentioned Cecilus saying you can't do something when you think you can't do it, meaning as long as you believe something is possible, it is.
Cecilus was able to run on magma (Arc 8, Chapter 43), to which Al says this is impossible, and Cecilus again says as long as a person thinks something is impossible, they will never be able to do it. Cecilus was able to use a single grain of gravel as a foothold, even fragments of glass and ash. He is able to do this because he can disregard logical and general notions (Arc 8, Chapter 57). In another instance, Cecilus ignored the nature principles which would normally make a human fall to the ground when they have nothing to hold on to (Arc 7, Chapter 106).
In conclusion all these impossible feats are the characters explicitly ignoring logic, as such I suggest characters such as Theresia, Reinhard, Cecilus etc all get law manipulation. For them I think it's pretty blatant they're doing impossible stuff. The question is whether or not law manipulation should also apply to characters like Elsa and Ram.
- Reinhard delivered a letter in a rainstorm while dodging every raindrop. (Felt's Birthday 2018).
- Reinhard weaved through Regulus' droplets of water and grains of dust, even in cqc. (Volume 19). Notable here that it says it should be impossible for Reinhard to be safe despite being caught in this attack, but yet still he was unharmed.
- Adult Cecilus says he can dodge rain. (Tanpenshuu 7), which Arakiya thinks is a lie, but Cecilus refutes by saying it's only impossible if you think it is.
- Kid Cecilus dodges danmaku comparable to grains in a sandstorm or raindrops in a rainstorm. (Volume 37). This proves the earlier statement about dodging rain because he thinks he can do so, was true.
- Adult Cecilus and Halibel can dodge rain by instinctive intuition. (Volume 38)
- Reinhard, Cecilus, and Halibel can dodge a rain of light aimed in literally every direct with no blind spots, this is called undodgeable, although dodging particles of mist would be troublesome for them. (Volume 38).
- Roy, a proper extraordinary genius with the collective intellect of tens of thousands of individuals, asserts that while no one is capable of dodging rain, there are still select exceptions who can do so. (Volume 43), which obviously refers to transcendents such as Reinhard and Cecilus.
In addition to these feats we also have multiple feats of people below the level of transcendents having such precision they can incapacitate a part of your body ie leg, avoiding all your bones, nerves, blood vessels and muscles
- Theresia such fine skill that she could steal away the function of a person's leg, passing her blade between networks of muscle and nerves (Volume 20, Chapter 4) avoiding any unnecessary destruction.
- Rui Arneb in an instant could vivisect a person's leg and neatly reveal their musculature without touching their nerves, blood vessels, or bones (Volume 20, Chapter 2). Otto wasn't even bleeding despite his leg being cut open.
- Wilhelm when faced with a chunk of floor rebounding towards his him with twice the speed and force he kicked it away with, voided all of its power by stabbing the dead center of its mass with surgical precision (Arc 9, Chapter 26-8) a genius feat in the realm of the divine.
Now again how is it possible to cut someone in such a way you can see their musculature, without touching their blood vessels or nerves? These are again impossible feats, Wilhem's feat however I suppose could be accomplished if you're just really skilled.
Adding on to this even at the lower levels of "skill" there are a few feats which come to mind which should be impossible:
- Even under the effects of Shamak, which affects the senses(Volume 11, Chapter 2), Elsa was still able to not only accurately target her enemies vitals (Volume 11, Chapter 2), but also avoided an attack which destroyed the entire room she was in (Volume 11, Chapter 2). I suppose with this feat you could maybe argue Elsa just moved fast enough to escape the room? But the fact that she threw her knives at Frederica past the smoke (which is Shamac which is what is affecting her senses), implies she was still very much in the room, this maybe arguable.
- 12 year old Ram (forgot her exact age at this point) has supernatural body movements (The Hidden Village Oni Sisters, Chapter 5) which lets her avoid getting fatal wounds, from countless explosion inside the corridor of a building. In this feat Ram figured out the trick to the explosions by sensing the disturbance in the mana right before the explosions. Faist however unleashed countless explosions in this corridor, so even though Ram knew when they were coming she couldn't avoid them, she couldn't avoid them yet somehow despite the scale of the explosions and the amount of them, and the fact this happened inside a corridor so there wasn't much space to dodge, Ram avoided fatal injuries with her supernatural body movements.
I think the Ram and Elsa feats are on the borderline if not over the borderline of being impossible.
