Ok ok ok. Let's get to all of these one by one:
@Sir
The comparison doesn't work? Dude that is literally the comparison used in the show:
"For example, imagine there's a man pointing a gun at you from straight ahead, his finger on the trigger. He obviously wants to kill you. Your focus would naturally be drawn directly toward the barrel, because that's what has control over the last seconds of your life, right?
"Under those circumstances, would you turn your attention to the man's earring? Would you think about who manufactured that earring? Of course you wouldn't, because unnecessary information is completely ignored by your conscious mind. In order to defeat Void Step, however, you must turn your attention from the gun to the earring in that life-or-death situation. That is the act of focusing on your unconscious senses.
You need to be able to turn your focus to completely useless things. It has nothing to do with how much important information you can process. It's about whether you do process useless information or not. So yes Sir, Trackless Step does exist.
@Cal
I am unsure why my past self didn't do SSSAF Ikki (i don't think Desperado Ikki was a thing back when this was created, but still idk). I guess i could make a 2nd thread and do it SSSAF Ikki instead. Since i mean this thread is already over 410 posts. So a 2nd one may be needed.
About him going unconscious from Ittou Shura and Rasetsu is:
1. When did he ever go unconscious for days on end from Ittou forms? It's couple of hours at most.
2. He goes unconscious cus he lacks stamina, not cus he gets knocked unconscious. He goes unconscious because he literally lacks the energy to even stay awake after using Ittou forms.
@Sir
Geez, i mean, kinda rude to assume all that stuff ain't it? First of all, while i am unsure if her mind reading is passive or active, she does have it always on.
1. That is the reason she won against Shizuku. Mind Reading, she knew everything Shizuku was planning (even the attack from Shizuku's blind spot).
2. "'Perception'? What does perception have to do with this?"
"When I deprive myself of vision, I become able to sense the impulses in others' bodies. That's just one application of my abilities as a user of electricity.
"Humans are essentially living precision instruments. Their actions are controlled purely by impulses sent from the brain, so the ability to sense those impulses is incredibly useful; it means knowing a person's next actions. Signals sent to the muscles that control their eyes tell where their vision is directed, hormones secreted by the pituitary gland reveal their mental state—all of that and more can be understood from reading them.
"The information you glean from impulses are your foe's true intentions, and they're impossible to fake. What is their mental state? What is the next action they plan to take? Limiting my vision gives me access to even more information than usual, so if I take off my glasses, it's beyond simple to read and understand what my opponent is going to do. That means traps and ambushes don't work on me."
"I see. That's how you dodged Shizuku's ambush, then?"
Touka nodded in affirmation.
"That's one of my Noble Arts: Reverse Sight. I suppose it's not too unlike the Worst One's Perfect Vision, though yours is the result of insight while mine is just a bit of cunning. Anyway, rest assured that I wasn't going easy on her by any means."
There is her reading Ikki's mind mid conversation once but i can't remember when.
3. Most impressively, he had completely deceived her ability to directly read intentions from biological signals in order to get his plan past her, taking decisive action without letting her realize anything.
Without a doubt, that was the power of Ikki's experience.
Ikki's strength definitely consisted of more than just swordplay.
She was using Reverse Sight during that fight, so yes he did fool it.
