That's what I meant by vital areas though. The face and head are not protected by the extreme muscle density granted by his Superman Syndrome, so damaging those areas aren't necessarily an indicator of Fei being able to hurt Wakatsuki with blows that hit the majority of the area on the latter's body.
That isn't truth either, let's not act as if Wakatsuki is only durable in terms of his muscles, he's taken blows to the head before from the likes of Julius and so on and so forth. He's taken blows to those same exact
"vitals" that you speak of, on
multiple,
times. Also going by your own words your argument is invalid due to Wakatsuki's Superman Syndrome. You act as if there aren't muscles present in the face and in the neck, which by all means is just a blatant lack of understanding of human anatomy. Wakatsuki's Superman Syndrome effects
all the muscles on him, what is a weakness for a
normal human is
not necessarily a weakness for Wakatsuki who has muscles
52x desner than the average human.
That's taking one instance of Ohma's failure to use Redirection against Wakatsuki and assuming all applications of the Redirection Kata are useless on him, which is honestly absurd.
Explain to me as to how it's absurd when this is blatantly how it happens in canon? You haven't even began to explain as to how it's "absurd.", what's truly absurd is you either forgetting or ignoring canon statements we get inside said fight.
Not even taking into account the fact that Ohma was significantly weakened by the fact he was dying during the Wakatsuki fight,
Ohma was still fine enough to finish Wakatsuki off and then give Gensai an high dif fight. He was weakened yes, but it's not like he's going to become suddenly hundreds of times more powerful. Let's not forget Wakatsuki wasn't in the best of health at the time either, Wakatsuki's strength is considered to be a 50 in comparison to Ohma's Indestructible's 10. Making Wakatsuki 5x stronger than Ohma at that time.
Ohma was only using Redirection to throw Waka off-balance - like he did against Dream!Adam - where it failed because Waka (like Adam) has abnormally powerful trunk muscles.
Which only proves my point, you need to be at the very least somewhat comparable in strength in order to do so. You can refer to this
album for proper citation.
First of all the Adam example is flawed because that's only taking Weeping Willow into account, he can still use Redirection to redirect the power
back at Adam, and he can also one shot Adam with an Iron-Breaker. Wakatsuki is unfazed by Iron-Breaker's so this argument doesn't hold up as much as you intended.
Ohma couldn't because he lacked the strength, Wakatsuki Overpowered all of his Redirection attempts casually, with Ohma having to resort to Demonsbane to reflect an attack back at Wakatsuki. Fei on the other hand could use The Redirection Kata to completely
pin down Wakatsuki to the point where the latter couldn't
break free.
To the point where Wakatsuki needed to put in extreme effort (non Blast Core.) to break free from Redirection. Again showing you need to be somewhat comparable to your opponent in strength, Fei is unable to redirect Wakatsuki's full strength.
This is a highly-specific scenario and doesn't tell us that Waka can just ignore the Redirection Kata entirely; which is a dumb assumption in the first place because then why would Waka develop a counter to the Redirection Kata after the KAT if he was already "immune" to it?
First of all, he can absolutely overpower the Redirection Kata as shown several times, as I've posted above, in terms of its Offensive and defensive abilities (barring combination of Kata's such as Water AND Redirection.)
Also that's just flat out wrong, Wakatsuki didn't spent time after KAT to develop a counter to the Redirection Kata. He developed a counter to the
Niko Style as a whole, Fei's issue is that he uses a Niko Style vastly superior to Ohma's usage, and thus has a different timing. He needs to actively put in much more strength to counter Fei's Redirection Kata.
You probably misread. I meant to say that the knees that looked like they hurt Fei were still dispersed, because according to Ohma, Fei's Water kata was still working, just at half-capacity. None of the strikes that Waka landed on Fei were cleanly taken, since all of them had their damage reduced by the Water kata.
I fail to see how this is meaningful whenever Fei has access to the Adamantine Kata as well that he used to take a
direct clean blow from Wakatsuki's. Indestructible is also capable of reducing damage, The Water Kata isn't the only way he can do so. Keep in mind Ohma's Adamantine Kata wasn't enough to block them and had bones broken.
True, but that belongs in Notable Techniques, not Intelligence.
Agreed.
