Hey there, here in spacebattles we do not use other boards to reach a consensus, just saying anyway and most of us here(Me included) consider VSBW to not be a reliable source anyway
VSB is usually incredibly unreliable and overinflated or misinterprets nearly everything.
Is Alucard THAT weak in the show version of Castlevania?
Meh, even if they did, Muichiro is still more skilled and deadly using Mist Breathing.
No, he's just not a shounen anime character with shounen speed or scaling.
He has speed and scaling. As above shows. Saying he is not anime shounen means nothing. castlevania displays speed and reactions better than Demon hunter to be honest who dont bother with sound barriers broken in the animation or art, just FTE and after image attacks. Which Castlevania has too.
You mean the explosion that takes a couple seconds to even go off, telegraphed by some glowing? Even I could react to that explosion if I had magic.
Great. Still slower than Tokito, who even in his un-Marked state can blitz Tanjiro.
Trevor also notably reacts. Meanwhile Muichiro while holding back can still trade blows with and avoid Upper 5's hits, and with his Mark no-diffs him.
Yeah, Muichiro moves FTE to Gyokko, who has feats of reacting and dodging Muichiro's blade when it's just centimeters from his neck; the blade itself is easily in the supersonic range.
That's not the impressive feat you think it is; it just means he sped up, slowed down, and sped up again twice. You can't break the sound barrier more once you've already broken it. Not to mention that that's not really a vapor cone, just a stylized wind shockwave from moving quickly, and even if it was he's literally running in a straight line while accelerating. Muichiro can maneuver at supersonic speeds.
This is unquantifiable because that's not how force or momentum works.
Dracula then catches him, showing that Alucard's speed comes from bullrushing along linear trajectories rather than reacting or acting at those speeds. And if we want to talk about air turbulence, Muichiro's Mist Breathing allows him to slash once with such force that it blows a cloud of poison out of the clearing they're in.
Uh huh. Tell me you didn't see the Akaza vs Rengoku or Gyutaro vs Tengen fights without telling me it, yeah? Nothing in Castlevania compares in speed to the final clash between Gyutaro and Tengen, or Muichiro slicing apart the 10,000 fish attack.
I mean, clearly they do to some degree.
Because Alucard doesn't meaningfully respond to avoid the much slower hand reaching out to stop him. It shows that his speed in this scene is faster than his own reflexes and can only be used when leaping in a straight line, not when maneuvering in combat.
Never said it was an antifeat, just that it's not all that impressive.
Most of the area in front of them is visibly obscured by the slowly glowing blast before it goes off and you can see Sylvia moving before the blast goes off.
The shockwave from his motion is the white burst around him; it's commonly how Ufotable animates that kind of thing.
I mean, those are all clones of Hantengu that are substantially weaker than any Upper Moon (given Tanjiro could fight one of them off on his own) and probably even only on or a little above a Lower Moon level, not to mention that they deliberately let him shoot them to split bodies at the beginning.
Ok,I didn't read the OP because i was just here to provide some info.
Is there a reason your pressed?
The clones were good enough to keep up with them, yes, but Tanjiro was getting fodderized during the Entertainment District by Gyutaro (even poisoned Gyutaro who was recovering from full body paralysis beat the shit out of him before Tengen saved him).
They literally didn't? Nezuko gets stomped on, and even Marked Tanjiro (who was fast enough to blitz the weaker clones) gets swallowed and nearly crushed before Mitsuri saves him, with Tanjiro explicitly stating that Zohakuten is attacking too quickly for him to even use any Breathing Techniques.
