So it's something along the lines of stopping time for a brief moment...? But then if she trained with Yuuka then it makes snese she could survive Yuugi's hit even without stopping time lol
NeoDarkKnight said: Sooo if you can survive Yuuka, you can survive anything?
There are still some hax abilities, items and stuff, that can kill you even after such feat... though it becomes very léimited to about 20-30 things in total... and that's in every dimension I can detect...
So technically, the surfaces of the contact is not exposed to the barrier (Since it will be in contact with another matter), thus Sakuya can use her time-stop to eliminate the momentum. But that requires perfect timing, thus that's why Sakuya still took damage.
Frankly, Sakuya has an invincible body shield, which needs skill to be used properly though. I will predict the next few strips having Yuugi messing up with her timing by using variation of speed.
If anything, I have to say that Sakuya sure has been working hard to keep up with her mistress' demand. +1 Respect from me, for sure.
And lastly, Yuuka and her obsession with white swimsuit. Not that I am complaining, though...
well it does explain how Sakuya has not gotten utterly demolished this match.
She is seriously in trouble now tho. Punch high to distract, punch low to make it hurt. Or just toss he around like a rag doll, bouncing off the barrier I think would negate the effect.
Wait, even if she takes out the momentum of the punch, this would only be effective if the punch would end exactly when it hits her, but it's one of the basics of any martial arts to aim "behind" the opponent and not to stop the punch after making contact with the body.
Maybe taking out the momentum of a punch would work against humans who gain most of the force through correct way of gaining momentum, but this is a friggin oni! O_o She has enough force to kill/maim a human even if she has to accelerate her fist at point-blank. Though, the matches would indeed have been pretty boring if orenji kept the onis canon.
Unless Sakuya has a chest out of concrete I don't see this working. Oh wait.
And it seems like it was Sakuya's own power, not some pathetic cheating. Need to apologize to her.
Other authors have given her a variety of things her time-manipulation is capable of, increasing her own speed among them. But doing so (if Orenji follows that way of thinking) is probably outside the narrow limit Yukari allows her.
The moment you take in an opponent's strike...FizzleFizzleThe contact point allows you to preserve some of your ability.InvokeOn the other hand, the part that comes into contact with an opponent is not exposed to the barrier, thus the ability will not fizzle out.It is pointless if not during the moment of contact.A skilled hunter's techniqueYour ability... it is to manipulate time, right?However, if used in this place, such ability will fizzle the moment it is out of the body.That's why...Episode 526: A Skilled Hunter's TechniqueFrom the Artist's Pixiv pageDuring the training, she has been taking countless near-death injuries.FizzleFizzleAm I wrong?Huhu, but it still has a risk.It is pointless as well if she stops after taking damage.That girl...Upon contact, by stopping before the damage is inflicted, it is possible to reduce an enemy's attack to zero.I don't think it's good for the organizer to teach her a loophole like that.No matter how she stops the time, the ability that comes into contact with the barrier will fizzle out.FizzleFizzleIf she stops time before the opponent comes in contact, she will take the damage as usual....you stop the time for the contact point between you and the opponent.
