How does this work if Overclock is faster than sound? Some of the writing in Vigilantes doesn’t make too much sense to me. Couldn’t Six just activate Overclock before he jumps off the ground?? What was that INSANE speed feat so long ago where many, many people were frozen in time compared to him and he was walking around them. It’s very inconsistent to me.
Oh wait. MHA is in the future. I guess its future sound where sound travels faster.
This is indeed an interesting question; I honestly feel like it's just one of those moments where the mangaka just ignored / forgot the physics of something, it's not that weird, most supersonic characters I know can talk while running.
But looking for an answer in the internal logic of the canon more than "maybe the mangaka forgot", I think maybe it just means that Six's translation speed is lower than his perception and combat speed (throwing punches should not generate as much air resistance as when your whole body moves forward). Following this logic, perhaps the mangaka believed that with subsonic/transonic speeds you could outrun multiple rubber bullets, which are also subsonic.
Another option is that, just maybe, Overclock vestige is not real, and Six is only imagining him, so his suggestion would simply be a mistake as when he believed that Koichi could not react to him.
