“Manga literally shows the exact same thing the anime does where Deku moves comparable to recipro, but sure, believe how you wish.”
Show me, then.
”Deku hasn’t reacted to his own 5%, but again, you’re clearly stuck in your own space about what you want.”
Yes he has, when he was practicing jumping between buildings. He says he ”can’t switch fast enough” but he never says he can’t react to that speed itself. It’s never portrayed as him being blitzed by the speed, just his lack of switching OFA speed. And since people love to use the anime here, the anime shows Deku moving during his hands during the jump to prepare to grab the wall, showing he’s, indeed, reacting to the speed.
