Parasyte - Small Upgrade

[Vizmer]

Introduction == Upgrade of Running Speed for Shinichi.

Changes: At least Peak Human movement -----> At least Superhuman movement (Can run faster than a car).

Reasoning: He ran faster than a car. According to Toyota Rent a car, "The legal speed limit is 60 km per hour on general roads and 100 km per hour on expressways." It is also accepted by the wiki in common feats:
Japan has two fixed speed limits:

• 100 km/h (27.7777 m/s) for divided national highways
• and 60 km/h (16.6666 m/s) for all other roads, unless otherwise posted.

1. You should cite what chapter this is from.
2. We have no way to know if the car was going full speed, so I'd rather just go with the definitive speed feat rather than this.

1. it is from chapter 15
2. In the same chapter Migi states how he was able to Jump and Run faster than a normal human, which is later followed by him preforming the feat. Later on he said that he could have easily ran the 100 meter dash in 9 seconds. He states himself that he become superior to normal human. Gotou states that he is fast for a human, Gotou is the parasyte who can easily run as fast as a car going at 60 mph. Even Shinichi at the end of the series states that he can run faster than any human.


As for the not having a definite speed of the car we can get the average speed of a car based on data collected. For instance, according to xmap, Japan - Road Traffic Data, the middle value based on the data collect is; it is in MPH btw

Motorways; Freeways; Major Roads	61.6
Major Roads less important than Motorways	36.8
Other Major Roads	33.6
Secondary Roads	30.4
Local Connecting Roads	24.4
Local Roads of High Importance	16.2
Local Roads	13.6

Additionally, Shinichi in Izu, Japan (Parasyte Chapter 13, Page 1). According to momondo, a car rental site, "The speed limit in Izu is 40 mph, unless otherwise stated on road signs. Izu also has a suburban speed limit of 50 mph which is strictly enforced. If you find yourself on a highway in Izu, be aware that the speed limit is generally 75 mph."

So the driver shown in the Manga most likely would have been driving slightly faster given that the average driver hovers slightly over the speed limit in Japan.
Thus, 40mph low end, 50 mph mid end, or 75 mph high end.

He gets stabbed right after by someone who as far as we know is a regular human physically, why are you using that as evidence?
Also, I'd argue over half of your evidence doesn't even work. Shinichi said he didn't even notice being faster than a regular human, which would be weird if he moved at superhuman speeds.
Your anime clip meanwhile looks like he didn't even properly outspeed the car, he just looked weird to the driver because he was straight-up running on the road.

If other staff think this is a legit feat, sure, but as far as I'm concerned this is at best a "possibly"

You can clearly see that Shinichi did not care about him, he his main goal was to save Satomi; he was not even looking at him.

why are you using that as evidence?

What does running faster than any human imply? that is right that you could move at superhuman speeds.

Your anime clip meanwhile looks like he didn't even properly outspeed the car, he just looked weird to the driver because he was straight-up running on the road.

This does not address anything, you simply just said that he look at him weirdly because of was running on the road? Are you forgetting that he was running faster than the car before the transition? Did you not see him clearly running faster than a car??

Car clearly being ahead of Shinichi of a speed at least being 40mph or higher due to the explanation above.
Shinichi begins to Run
Shinichi catches up to the car, they are side by side btw
Shinichi goes past the car
Shinichi goes past the car even further
He even disappears from the frame

Definition of outsped: : "to outdo or surpass in speeding : to go faster than"

Shinichi's feat fits the definition of outsped, since it is pretty obvious that he ran faster than the car.

Also, I'd argue over half of your evidence doesn't even work.

Explain as to why that is the case.

Shinichi said he didn't even notice being faster than a regular human, which would be weird if he moved at superhuman speeds.

Him not noticing being faster than a regular human does not negate his feats.

I doubt they would have shown him outrunning a car if the car was going slow, because the purpose of the scene was to shown that he's a superhuman
