Tough (Manga) minor revision

This is my first CRT so if I understood some of these abilities wrong please tell me about it

Ryusei

"Damage Reduction (Can lessen the damage he sufferes from punches by "slipping away" from them)" should be removed. On the Damage Reduction profile, it says it has to be some kind of power that reduces damage. What Ryusei is doing is clearly just moving his face away so that the impact is smaller. It even specifies that he evaded the attack.

Kiichi

"Sense Manipulation (Can permanently deafen a foe with Palms of Hearing Destruction)" Unless I'm mistaken, the Sense Manipulation power is "The ability to control the senses of one's self, or of others". Hitting someone hard enough to deafen them by damaging their eardrums is not controlling their senses, as much as stabbing someone in the heart isn't "Death Manipulation".

"Perception Manipulation (The Tiger's Paw Strike is so fast causes the target to feel as if time has stopped, while in reality they've already been struck by it)" This one might be true with further context (I haven't read up to this chapter) but it really just looks like he hits the target so fast they didn't even realize they were hit, so it makes it feel like time was stopped.
 
Damage Reduction can stay, at most is the power page itself that could use a clean up.
It might not be a superpower, but it's still an ability regarded as of high level, and the manga says he is reducing the damage from the strike, rather than avoiding it completely.

I agree that sense manip could be removed, but mostly because iirc it's perfectly possible to do such a thing in real life, so I wouldn't list it as "superhuman skill" like similar attacks used in Baki and other fictions.

Perception should stay, it's the trajectory of the kick to be invisible, not the leg itself, which is stated twice to be visible. It's some sort of unpredictable attack, rather that a speed-based strike.
 
Damage reduction and perception manipulation should stay as they are noted to be special abilities. Sense manipulation could be removed if we don't accept specific technigues for destruction of the perception organ as manipulation.
 
If it were a pressure point or some other superhuman ability/skill (like Baki's cord cutter technique) I'd be ok with it, but eardrum damage through thunderclap is realistic and a natural occurrence if a super strong guy does that to you.

Techniques count for Damage Reduction, and this is probably just foreshadowing him learning Bullet Slide

I guess it's just shockwave stuff, sure. I will note though that from quick research causing eardrums to rupture so consistently isn't something you can just do with normal hits.

It's ******* with the target's senses, they think they see the kick moving at them at super slow-mo but by that point it's already hit them and they're hallucinating. That's not really a normal consequence of getting blitzed

Ok. Do you think the eardrum thing should just be added under the techniques section?
 
It's already there, also I think the Miyazawa bros also have the technique
