>"No, but then again we don't really care what the author either. If he says a character throws fifty punches, yet only draws ten we have to operate on a basis where we only take into consideration what's visually shown; what's forgotten is that its Hyoh saying this, not the author. It's also entirely possible that either Hyoh only threw out 33 punches in that panel; has many more punches left to throw. And if memory serves me correctly, there isn't just a singular panel showcasing the feat, there is about four (remembering from the top of my head) so who's to say he didn't fully finish the barrage in those four panels?"
Um that's a terrible thesis to go by, by your logic we would have to downgrade or DISCUSS a multitude of different other fictions because what the author/narrator/ or character stated is different from what they've shown.
And those 4 panels try taking about aren't even him throwing anymore punches it's literally the same scene from the first panel but [
but at a different angle], not to mention it's given no Indication that time has passed and rather shows no time has passed(before you or Lina ask, obviously their aren't 10,000 punches drawn on this panel, asking why is a rather super critical thing to demand to a very old and simple manga.)
Also to answer your two other paragraphs, No we aren't assuming anything for the totality of the punches, it's been shown that Kenshiro or really ANYONE in the fictional universe has the ability to throw punches in the 1000s or higher(example Kenshiros meridian pressure points are close to 1000 at 708 and hokuto ryuuken is at 1,109 median points, and have been shown to train to hit all pressure points at once For training!.) So no, no one is assuming the punches are coming out all at once, it's been downright down or stated so that point should be answered.
Now back to the whole issue with FTE. I should remind you that this is FICTION so forgive it for not being super scientifically accurate. Now the human EYE has been on record stated and tested that it can process an image as fast as 13 milliseconds. And stated by both dontalk and I guess you in the past for an image to be considered FTE, it must disappear completely within the view of the eye or perform actions where the human eye can't process the actions therefore it can't see it.
To make it SIMPLE, within Fist of the North Star, Its shown COUNTLESS times characters moving so fast, no one not even in the site of 100s of men could process what actions occurred(examples Ken grabbing the whips that have been stated to Move faster than eye, and moving from his spot to uigfurs nose faster than anyone could see, this completely baffled everyone and no one at all could see the actions.) <---(please see my blog for the scans)
I could go on to give more examples like Amiba with Kenshiros fist, or raoh with his master unable to see his movement. But the bottom line is these characters have been shown to perform actions far to fast for any eye to process or keep up, they could perform an entire series of actions without even moving a muscle ( [
here is a fight where kasumi and liu have and entire battle to the death and characters design they haven't moved a muscle in their eyes.] <------(please read until the end of the chapter.)
Honestly what more proof can I give you, I'm giving you as many pieces of evidences as I can, but it won't help if you view these idea in fiction as to narrow and critical(sorry if that came off rude.) @Austrian man meat you yourself supper the philosophy of Occam's razor, where simpler is better, so than why won't you look at this series and with its FTE timeframes with that idea.
