Now that I saw how to read this shit (checking what chapter and page it is from just the link), lets seeDuring the Cursya fight Maki is stated to be incapable of fully utilising her body; Miyo states that her muscles are slacking where Maki's entire lesson from Miyo was to grow stronger, and after his lesson it's stated that everything about her is now different and that she's grown to new heights as a fighter equal to Toji for the first time in 12 years. We know all of this can't be "just a skill thing" given prior to this point curse womb Naoya was able to evade her attack as she was already throwing a punch by a massive distance difference but then a fully evolved curse Naoya - going at his max speed - is casually evaded by Maki at point blank range and is consistently tagged by her punches. This isn't to say that the previous statement of her bodily strength being equal to Toji is wrong, but it is to say that without a particular skill set that Maki could not bring out her full physical capabilities until now. She had the physicality to do these things, but her mind wasn't allowing her too.
I edited the links for these responses so they work
Holy ****, you can't be stretching the meaning this muchDuring the Cursya fight Maki is stated to be incapable of fully utilising her body; Miyo states that her muscles are slacking
That scan doesn't prove that though? Also what the f*ck? Did we read the same sh*t? It's clearly about becoming a looser fighter. It's like an art teacher telling you to have a looser shoulder.where Maki's entire lesson from Miyo was to grow stronger
Holy ****, you can't be stretching this THIS MUCH. It's about her attitude and how loose and free she feels afterwards. You can look like an entirely different person without it "being stated that everything about her is now different"and after his lesson it's stated that everything about her is now different
No? This time I can't figure out what scan it is, but this never happened in a way that suggests she got a stat ampand that she's grown to new heights as
She had Toji stats, but Toji stats isn't what makes someone completely equal to Toji.
Hence they say "has been FULLY REALIZED". She had only PARTIALLY REALIZED herself as a fighter equal to Toji before this, and then became a fighter fully equal to Toji.
Yeah, makes sense, he dodged obvious stiff moves, with speed equal to Toji.We know all of this can't be "just a skill thing" given prior to this point curse womb Naoya was able to evade her attack as she was already throwing a punch by a massive distance difference
Ok HERE we get to the real stuff.but then a fully evolved curse Naoya - going at his max speed - is casually evaded by Maki at point blank range and is consistently tagged by her punches.
First, this doesn't show he was going at max speed when she tagged him. It takes him a LONG time to build up to mach 3, and he stopped moving prior to charging at Maki in those other pictures, where she dodged.
When she dodged Naoya in the air, he stopped and said "what the f**ck" before she even hit the ground
To charge up to mach 3, he needs to charge up way more, move to a way further distance, and go in circles for a bit, while here he went immediately to hitting Maki.
Also this "point-blank" range shit is just out of context stuff, because we know Gege always draws like this when he's depicting high-speed movement and people narrowly dodging stuff they're way way way way way slower than.
Using this logic, you'd think Yuji is equal to piercing blood, or **** it, even way faster:
You'd think "Damn Yuji is way faster than piercing blood! He dodged it from point-blank range!"
when from the 10+ meters away that it was fired, he barely dodged it and still got tagged.
You'd say, "Yuji consistently dodges piercing blood!" using this logic, when he's obviously way slower, and gets blitzed by a non-full-speed Naoya.
You'd say "damn, Maki caught the bullet from literally 5cm away"
When she'd consistently fought Mai evenly beforehand, is much slower than the speed of sound, and on top of that she caught it with the arm extended. She didn't move her hand close to her face, she caught it with her arm completely extended. There was way more room between her and the bullet in actuality
Hence, we can't use this logic to claim "oh she's consistently Naoya-level in speed, when she's clearly not, and she has to learn how to predict Naoya's weird 24fps supersonic movement to beat him.
Yeah, she couldn't use her full Toji-level stuff, aka she couldn't use that precog and wasn't as good of a fighter, but her stats didn't change. Her brain didn't get rewired to give her a 3+ times stat amp to go from subsonic (mach .79), slower than Mach 1 Human Naoya, to supersonic+ or even Mhs+. I'm not done yet tho, this is just part 1This isn't to say that the previous statement of her bodily strength being equal to Toji is wrong, but it is to say that without a particular skill set that Maki could not bring out her full physical capabilities until now. She had the physicality to do these things, but her mind wasn't allowing her too.
