That feels like plot armour and an outlier at the same time, a 9-B can't take a 7-B attack and survive for no reason like that, else he's not 9-B or that attack isn't 7-B. In a versus where PIS and stuff doesn't happen, and we go by logic, a9-B isn't surviving a high 8-C attack even while not at full force.
It isn’t an outlier at all. He was able to continue fighting after feeling the pain of Gurren’s leg getting cut off, the pain of Gurren’s back getting pierced through, and most of his own upper body getting pierced through. He has multiple feats of him being able to fight after feeling the pain of lethal attacks that any normal person would literally pass out and die from. This literally isn’t a 7-B durability feat, because if it was, Kamina wouldn’t have been impaled as badly. Lower tiered characters can survive higher tiered attacks, but barely. It’s obvious that TTGL wants to portray this as a feat of Kamina’s great willpower, hell they purposely make willpower look like plot armor. In short, Kittan (who is far superior to Kamina by the end of Pre-Timeskip) is capable of fighting, even after taking such attacks
Exactly, it’s not an outlier because Kamina literally died right after the fight. TTGL characters who have surpassed Kamina can keep fighting, even after sustaining heavy damage. Kittan can keep fighting, and would die after the fight, just like how Kamina kept fighting in episode 8 until the battle was truly over. Like I said, lower tier characters can survive (barely) from a higher tier attack. There’s multiple instances where this happens. For example, Simon (High 6-A) heavily damaged Viral (7-B) and the latter survived. In short, once again, Kittan is capable of handling multiple attacks from characters a couple of tiers above him via Supernatural Willpower
Spoilers bro... anyway, wtf that doesn't make sense, willpower doesn't make you 100x more durable... let alone thousands of times, the thing here is that you can't survive a 7-B attack with 9-B durability, either he didn't take the full force of the attack and sustained heavy injuries or outlier because he didn't instantly die, will power doesn't work like that. If kittan survives bakugo's attack but with heavy injuries then sure he'd still be able to fight, but he can't survive it because his fragile body will explode and even if he does survive bakugo can still win because he can dodge and stuff and immediately attack again before kittan can get too fast, but that isn't gonna happen.
Why is how willpower in TTGL works, subject to how willpower actually works? Kamina barely survived the 7-B attack, but he pushed through till the very end. If he was more durable, he wouldn’t have gotten the crazy damage he did.
Yeah no, when you're a 9-B against a 7-b attack, there is no "crazy damage" you just die, will power won't save you from that huge of a AP gap, same case here.
I know it'll just blow you away and burn you I was just exaggerating.
Supernatural Willpower is described as “the ability to exceed one's own limits through sheer willpower to a degree extremely far beyond real human standards.” And “Characters with this ability may be able to resist enormous amounts of pain, act even when unconscious or well beyond what they should be able to endure”
Yeah I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that, that's like saying a wall can survive being hit by a nuke because the wall can break it's limits because will power. Will power doesn't amp you so many tiers like that.
Ohhhhh it was a stab wound... ffs I thought he got nuked... okay bro, stab wound cut through his 9-B ass like butter but it was only a stab wound so sure he survived because only a small part of his body got harmed and he can survive the pain and distress of a stab wound with will power, but bakugo's attack is a huge AoE explosion which is more than enough to one shot 9-B Durability so kittan is getting nuked.
Kamina survived a large stab wound that took up most of his upper body, and was in the area around his heart. So, he was able to keep fighting even after having fatally wounded vital organs. And Kittan would be fast enough to not take the full force of the attack, so being mortally wounded, like severe burns, is but a minor inconvenience to him, and will keep fighting and will become far more powerful after taking such damage
He survived not because of durability but because his body was still functional after taking that wound and he could fight through the pain because will power, but in the case of bakugo, kittan is not fast enough to dodge and will take the attack head on and will get one shot by the massive area of effect.
Kittan is fast enough to not take the full force of a transonic attack from 10 meters. Then become 2x more powerful than before, his growth in power will also become greater thanks to Supernatural Willpower + Empowerment and more potent Reactive Evolution. His reaction/combat/attack speed would eventually become far faster; being able to react to attacks quicker and be able to pull off attacks quicker
Bakugo's explosion moves at 319 m/s, kittans travel speed is subsonic, IDK the value so I'll high ball to 171 m/s, so the difference in speed is 1.87x, so bakugo's range is tens of meters and the starting distance is 10 meters. By the time kittan reacts and moves 20 meters away from bakugo, the blasts would've already caught up and kittan would get blasted to oblivion, let's say he doesn't take the full force of the attack, well then he's still getting one shot regardless.
Why not just move aside from the attack rather away further away from the attack? Because that would be way better for Kittan, and you can get one-shot but keep fighting because Supernatural Willpower or Immortality Type 2. Getting one shot doesn’t automatically mean they lose. A lot of characters get one-shot and barely survive, and there are few who can actually keep fighting after getting one shot (like Kamina). In this case, Kittan is capable of surviving attacks without getting hit with its full force, at least 3 times. Kittan is already fast enough to minimize the damage he takes, and he’s only getting faster the more determined he becomes, and the longer the fight goes on
Bakugo's attack isn't just long it's also super wide since it's an explosion. And kittan doesn't have immorality type 2, also if you get one shot, you die, and will power doesn't matfer if you die. And bakugo's attack will kill kittan.
Kittan still has the sufficient speed to not get hit with its full force
Even if he doesn't take the full force of the attack, he's still getting one shot.
Kittan isn’t going to get blown up completely. He literally has the speed to minimize the damage he takes from the explosion, and he would just get burned, which is a minor inconvenience to him, and can take at least 2 more of those, which would get him enough time to become way more powerful than before on the spot. And the AoE is only Building level, a large building such as a skyscraper is at minimum 150 meters in height
Considering Kittan’s standard tactic is to rush in without a first hand plan, and just “beat the crap outta someone”, on top of that, having gone out in a blaze of glory because he “had no other choice”, he’d definitely do it
Alright inconclusive I guess, Bakugo would've won had Kittan not been suicidal.
