I'm just gonna like, go over my problems again with the entire reasoning, there are pretty big inconsistencies with the whole thing. (From what I have seen ofc)
- So first off, Jean being able to blitz someone with that kind of tackle doesn't necessarily mean he's boosting his own speed, rather he's just entering a new level of speed that he was previously unable to reach. I may be wrong but I don't think you actually have any evidence of him not being capable of entering that speed at will after the event, and it's explicitly stated that this is "awakening" an overall boost to technique, not just a special move. It's describe as a "trascendental cognitive ability", which strongly implies it's just an overall boost (to skill and reaction time). Nothing in your last post really implies otherwise IMO.
- The very statement that Yu "lives in a different dimension of time" outright states that his own "amp", which is already halfway through the blitz chain you laid out, is not something he needs to activate, but something that is always passive with him. You, after all, do not "live" in a state that you need to willingly enter, because the very act of doing so would imply that you are normally outside of it. It's even stated that he has "lived" in this state for quite some time, which also lays credence to the theory that it's just his level of overall speed.
- Monster Stance is definitely a speed amp, however since, by your own words "Jean was more prepared and by anticipating it" could react to it, it's not blitz-worthy. By definition, if you can react to something, it's not blitzing you. I understand he timed it ahead of time but that still wouldn't be possible if it happened in a blitz-worthy interval of time. If I had to assume it was at least partially surprise at said speed, and for the rest actual speed.
- I doesn't make sense to say Yu's reactions are at a blitz-worthy level above Jean's, if you're also claiming that he and Yu were fighting on equal grounds before Yu busted out the Monster Stance, if he could perceive things that fast all the time he would have a massive edge in that fight even before amping his own speed to superior levels.
ok, I think there is a small missunderstanding here, I also agree that they are passively in that "dimension", they passively percieve everything in slow motion, and passively they are able to have a deep feeling in their body that allows them to pull out OP techniques. Only K (the frozen bullet stuff) only entered there briefly "for a split of a second", but just him, both Yu and Jean entered there and staied there (Yu is there since when he was 7 lol).
That said, all I said is that not every technique has the same speed even after entering in that "dimension". Since Jean's blitz has similarities with Monster Stance and worked the same way, so if there is a difference between Yu's punches and Monster Stance then there is one between Jean's punches and that "weaker monster stance".
Then if we're saying he cannot react to the stance why are we assuming he properly countered and Yu dodged the counter, rather than Jean just missing with his counter and Yu's attack going as planned? It's not like we actually see Yu reacting to the counter, he just goes under it.
aight, my bad here, I'll add more context.
The punch would have hit Yu 100%,
Yu clearly moves his head on the side.
Jeans simply timed the counter properly, I mean, while I think the distances should be taken as literal here
we clearly see Yu almost reaching Jean while his counter only moved few centimeters.
The lowball version of this scene would be Yu almost reaching Jean while Jean only made a single punch. In a way or another Yu massively outspeeded Jean's counter
as he started to move on the other corner of the ring, it's just that Jean did set a good trap (which got nuked by Yu regardless).
I believe if Jean seems to react to it it's just straight up outlier, Yu's dash both blitzed his perception earlier and even massively outpseeded his punch the second time, there's no debate the gap is absurd.
EDIT: you seemed to agreed about the blitz being valid anyway
Yeah, sort of. It's
part of the guy's fighting style. To be honest I don't really get it, I
think it's meant to throw him off. Regardless he can at least anticipate and react to attacks from people much faster than him, it's the countering part that requires the weird context.
Eh, I understand, but then I don't think he is a good example as unlike him, catching Yu off guard would be a big feat, while he is a boxer he still reads the opponent's feet and shadow.
Btw something worth noting is that Kiichi actually
does have enhanced senses which help him a lot with reacting to fast attacks.
I mean, sure, it is Kinetic vision right? It helps, sure, but I doubt it makes a big difference against a dash that blitzed slow motion perception.
Yeah. When I said KO him, I meant he
literally fights unconscious after being knocked out and he fights
better in that state, and that's part of the basis for Sky Eye, he needs to
be near death to do that (I think I said it was activated before, in that case I apologize, I got it wrong if I did, I only remembered this scan now but that is a limitation of the technique). There's also several instances of him
being KO'd and just getting back up,
multiple times in a
single fight even.
Ok but... any chance he just doesn't die on the spot? And even if, can Kiichi potentially avoid a second Monster Stance assuming he doesn't die from the first? From what I understood this Sky Eye is very good but I still think the blitz would be too much.
