I know that people are afraid that Murata's going to retcon every good feat (including Psykos's continent lift) because of what he did to Millennium Emperor Nova, Brilliant Eagle Phoenix Man and the Focused Atomic Slash, but I think those fears are misplaced. The Phoenix Man fight was too much too soon and made the cadres look bad by comparison, the feats by themselves were not too strong- but rather too early. Child Emperor will improve on Brave Giant in the future, the cadres will also have very powerful feats and Phoenix Man may bring better feats back later.Golden sperm is gonna shine upon us with his glorious moon level feats
I just hope he doesn't water down some of the feats tho. Like he did with phoenix man, like some of his redraws do provide better stuff, like the moon kick, but I hope we get something better. The man is working like a factory
Same thing with the Focused Atomic Slash. While it made Atomic Samurai more impressive, it undermined Black S by exposing him too early. Again, the feat wasn't too strong- it just didn't fit quite right in the context. Black S has to have his moment in the sun before we learn his weaknesses, he needs to get the treatment that Suiryu and Gouketsu got- where he has a moment where everyone says "Man, is this new character unbeatable/one of the strongest in the series/etc?".
I think we'll be repaid for all the disappeared feats in spades in the coming chapters. Atomic's beam split and Tatsumaki's drill have convinced me.
