False generalization + Oversimplification. A lot of things in most VN have flowery language, so they simplify it to be "its just flowery language" to dismiss the feats. But ofc you know this already and this question is rhetoric.By the way, can someone explain to me why speed in FSN is a “flower language” despite the fact that it happens on the same route, on the same day, in the same battle, with the participation of the same characters. Three times.
Her armour should be separated from the skill itself. Mana burst is as the name implies, it's a skill that use burst of magical to strengthen herself. Don't think we'll agree with this one. But wait, do you agree that he said she'll snap like twig vs other Servants if she don't have Dragon Core mana burst?![]()
(EDIT: To put it in better terms, Salter's Armor is the reason why she didn't get ground to dust to Medusa's Bellerophon in HF3 and it's the reason why Artoria doesn't instantly lose limbs getting hit at all by Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon... which shows her even being nerfed badly just how insanely strong Artoria is in hindsight)Here, Artoria's armor is created from her own magical energy. Here, Artoria's armor constructed from her own magical energy is called an "Impregnable defense". Here, a discussion about Bellerophon, Artoria notes her magic resistance/armor nullifies all but Sorcery or Fantastic Races with Divinity (after all, Divine Mysteries are nullified by stronger ones).
Mana Burst exposition
Having taken off her armor, Saber didn't gain just agility. The prana needed to form and maintain her armor was now available for use in her offensive. This means a lot for the skill of "prana burst" that Saber possessed.
A "prana burst" is the accumulation of prana in her weapon and her entire body, momentarily injecting an arbitrary vector for an exceptional boost of her abilities. So to speak, it is a jet blast of prana for her movements. She only had the thin body of a small girl, but this was the secret that allowed her to brandish her big sword with the combat style of a power fighter.
The surplus of prana can be converted into mobility power for a close-range combat, but when Saber uses up to the prana needed for her armor in a "prana burst" it could grant her six times that bonus in power and speed... This is perfect for the destructive power of a one-hit-kill attack.
except that it was a flower the size of a continent and caused energy waves across the globe

I deliberately let myself be trapYou do know I’ve been yanking your chain right?
The problem is that she wasn't fighting alone, she had the other servants with her and Holmes,
who got mentioned that was distracting the servants wit his light and was shown able to buff musashi to react to Dioscuri attack in their first encounter
I also though she had a buff too using one poseidon cores and her trident?
Not too sure about that one, might be misremembering. Nanomachines are a fairly decent buff considering Charlotte was able to go from not beating a single regular beast to one shotting the Cerberus that was giving a bunch of problems to a team of servants.
I mean it's possible. He does use it if he really needs it like with the Grail but it's a thing he doesn't just use it on anyone without him having some respect for them.
that's about PHH Caenis.
This Caenis is buffed and could definitely be stronger than those two.
Super Orion was conceptually advantaged to do more damage against Caenis as Poseiden's son.
I mean, this is kind of one of things where it's just part of the general "vibe" of the story when you read it; presenting collections of feats like I'm about to do just really isn't the same. But okay.
Dragon Albion moving at single-digit Mach speeds and accelerating beyond Mach 2 is clearly supposed to be impressive and fast.
Melusine boasts about breaking the sound barrier in 0.3 seconds.
Babylonia has Kingu's flight speed at 500km/hr, which is supposed to be impressive. It is noted that this is within Age of the Gods mana concentration, though how this affects flight speed is anyone's guess.
Tsukihime R's speed is actually quite consistent and grounded overall. Nasu gives a decent number of timeframes in terms of seconds or tenths of seconds, in which the combatants cross single-digit / low double-digit meters, among other things.
For a few speed showings that Shiki has himself, after becoming a half-vampire:
Shiki runs 100 meters in 5 seconds
Roa estimates that Shiki can sprint 40 meters in 0.8 seconds
Shiki thinks he can cross the distance between himself and Noel in 2 seconds
Shiki sprints at 50km/hr
Yes, Shiki is not very strong compared to pretty much anyone he fights (except for DA Noel), but he is able to either consistently keep up or not lag too far behind them on the speed front.
Even Vlov's icicle projectiles move at similar speeds.
They take 1.5 seconds to cover the distance between himself and Shiki
This one is less concrete, since "second" can also just be a generically short unit of time, but Arc also blitzes Ciel by covering 500 meters in a single second. It's worth nothing that this is the best feat done by a character in the entire novel that has an explicit distance and (less clear) timeframe.
I want to emphasize that Nasu uses "meters" in relation with "seconds" a lot.
There is a fair amount of FTE stuff, but that mostly happens within the range of single-digit meters or slightly more.
Mahoyo...doesn't really have "speed feats", but you don't really get the impression that the characters are moving at significantly superhuman speeds. The one figure we get is for one of Touko's puppets - max speed of 45mph. It's basically fodder, but it was optimized for moving quickly and gives a general "scale" for speed since there is pretty much nothing else.
Yeah but I meant debunking his arguments and justification for all shonen protagonists supposedly being able to "solo" Omniman:I already said Omni-Man would solo?
Edit - Okay so upon closer reading, he admitted some characters would get mauled by Nolan, but of the ones that won't according to him, that's where I want to see the debunking in action.1. Son Goku (King Piccolo Saga) - King Piccolo was on the level of "obliterate most of a city with some small expenditure of power," and Goku did beat him but Goku also didn't show firepower to match him. He might be able to mess with Omni-Man given how hard he can hit at this point but Omni-Man might just be able to outlast him.
2. Naruto Uzumaki (No Boruto) - Naruto can spam attacks that dwarf the Hammer and has access to a lot of esoteric stuff on top of that. Might take a while but he'll do it.
3. Monkey D. Luffy - Luffy hits absurdly hard, Haki bypasses durability normally and Ryou is more advanced form of that. He can just shower Nolan with blows until he goes down. Also, Gear 5 breaks all the rules of durability to some extent so I am pretty sure Nolan will be hurt by him much worse than he would expect.
4. Ichigo Kurosaki (Final Getsuga Tensho version) - Dude obliterates small mountains by swinging in their general direction and is a million times faster than Nolan. Easy clap here.
5. Yusuke Urameshi - With the powerups he got from the Demon World Tournament arc, he blows away mountains with his energy attacks, punches people into the stratosphere with minimal effort and is much, much faster than Nolan. Might take a while but I think his damage output is high enough that he can kill Nolan before he gases out.
7. Izuku Midoriya - I don't think he quite hits hard enough. He can certainly blitz with Gear Shift and Full Cowl but I don't think he can hurt Nolan enough to actually kill him before Deku runs out of energy.
8. Yoh Asakura - Assuming he has Amidamaru rather than the Spirit of the Earth, I don't think he does enough damage. No idea how Nolan would interact with an Oversoul but I don't think he can be hurt by it outside of some kind of spiritual attack damage rules or something. Yoh can blitz all day but Shamen are specifically built around having finite resources so I imagine he'd run dry before Nolan goes down.
9. Gash Bell (Original Series) - Sidestepping the whole Kiyomaru casting angle; Gash shoves mountains around physically, wrestles with people who outmuscle black holes, critically wounds city-sized giants with his biggest attacks and has taken mountain erasing attacks to the face without dying. He's a lot faster and has a lot of energy to throw around. Nolan will be hurting but given that Gash can likely contest him in raw strength as well, this is a messy one.
10. Ranma Saotome - Trivially faster but doesn't hit nearly hard enough and, because Nolan only has physical attacks, he's not really got the Hiryuu Shoten-ha on deck for this. It'll take days but Ranma will tire and Nolan will maul him.
11. Tanjiro Kamado - Can't hurt him, eventually tires and dies easily.
12. Meliodas (Original Series) - Hits incredibly hard, especially with his endgame abilities that allow him to match The One in combat. Effortlessly quicker and has regen on top of that. I don't think Nolan can win here.
13. Natsu Dragneel - No comment, I think not enough gun but others will know more.
14. Negi Springfield (Original Series) - Hard to say. He's well faster than him even outside of Great Thunder In Heaven but his biggest hits cost him a fair amount of energy and he doesn't have a limitless supply. Tota Kanoe would have an easier time. I think Negi could likely take it, he's resourceful enough to manage his energy for an attrition battle.
16. Koro-Sensei - Waaaay too fast but doesn't hit that hard as I recall. I think he has a suicide move that shattered the moon or something? It's been a long time. I favour Nolan on gut instinct here.
17. Alita - See my previous comments about Viltrumite vulnerability to vibrations in their flight centre. That's technically not canon in the animated show yet but, if we consider it a strat, then Alita is almost tailor-made to debilitate Nolan.
18. Toriko (Pre-timeskip) - Way too fast, arguably a lot stronger, likely mauls him.
20. Gon Freecss (Adult Form) - Way too fast but doesn't hit... that hard... I think he might die before he kills Nolan depending on how we interpret his Nen Condition functioning in this scenario. Hits Nolan a lot, likely hurts him a bit but I don't think he can put him down.
22. Vash the Stampede - Waaaay too fast again. The Angel Arm at max hits harder than the Hammer so that works. Or he can use black hole bullets which... should work?
24. Shinra Kusakabe (No Shinrabanshoman) - Even with lightspeed, doesn't hit nearly hard enough. Nolan eventually grabs him and it's done.
25. Kenshiro - Much too fast and I can't imagine that Hokuto Shinken wouldn't work on Viltrumites as they're very close to human in terms of physiological structure. Phase fist, sever his nerves, take him to pieces.
So yeah, that's a lot of them that could likely solo.
She matched Gunha with a special boost and even that is a generous way of putting it. In all likelihood, Gunha was holding back. Gunha's stats in general rival with motivation and at max. motivation he can face Level 6 Shift Misaka. It's extremely unlikely for a (regular) Level 4 to be comparable to someone like that.
Not that I'm saying Junko doesn't win, but she isn't lightning speed or anything.
Amazon Omniman is more powerful. Even Space Racer is Star Level now.Even the Amazon Omni Man is now too fast. If you equalize speed, then you got several on the list that could take him
So do you think she get snap by other Servants without Mana Burst like what that guy said too?No, her Armor IS the Mana Burst defensively just like Mordred's armor(Outside of her Helmet) is her Mana Burst being defensive as well as Arthur's.
(EDIT: To put it in better terms, Salter's Armor is the reason why she didn't get ground to dust to Medusa's Bellerophon in HF3 and it's the reason why Artoria doesn't instantly lose limbs getting hit at all by Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon... which shows her even being nerfed badly just how insanely strong Artoria is in hindsight)
There's a reason it's not mentioned at all to be a Skill or Noble Phantasm by any means and we get in Fate/Zero when she discards the armor, she gets an absurd power and speed boost as it is her Mana Burst being defensive:
I really can't believe you fell for that terrible as hell bait when anyone can see what happened in that picture...
Simple, it's just an excuse for them to dismiss feats that are right in your face that they can't answer for BUT they can dismiss by acting as if Nasu is doing Purple Prose... the problem with that is that Purple Prose is hilariously easy to spot as it's just pontificating a simple scene for way too long(Like turning a simple sword clash that can be done in a simple sentence into an absolutely ridiculous 3 sentences and stretching it out like "The Shining Sword crosses the night sky, streaking through the heavens clashes against the Ebony Blade. They both ring out in a choir of steel, causing the silent night to explode in a cacophony of battle.", that sort of shit.).
This is made worse because they tend to use the UFOTable anime... which unironically actually does stifle down alot of the feats that happen in the series that, if you aren't actually paying attention, can make things seem weaker than it is. For instance, it's hilarious you have people say that Servants are supersonic... but then in Heaven's Feel 3, you have a good 2-3 minute fight of Salter and Medusa fighting huge parts of the ceiling falling to the ground... but it's only just those parts falling down, nothing else... which would be far, far beyond hypersonic.
This also has them basically going full stupid when they DO bring up how stupid fast Servants or other beings can be:
![]()
(This has been rounded down to Mach 1547, by the way).
Which then has people trying to act as if it suddenly FGO works on having a whole different franchise in each story to make sense of it
Because they vehemently believe that only Nasu is "consistent" when it comes to speed feats just so they can keep Servants at Supersonic... despite the man being the one who okays all of this and then created the scene where Ciel is able to deal with a Dead Apostle that can become legit Lightning no problem.
Nasu tends to break Spacebattles something fierce.
So do you think she get snap by other Servants without Mana Burst like what that guy said too?
Implying Unohana is as strong as even a holding back Mustache?Unohana smashes him to pieces, she won't hold back like Yhwach did.
That he could harm much stronger than any Espada.People say ''he manage to cut Aizen madafaking Sosuke''....and? Like what does that even mean?
And what is this supposed to mean? Only that Aizen is still stronger than him because no shit, it doesn't change the fact that hurting him at all > anything the Espada ever did.He inflicted moderate amount of damage with a full power Mask Getsuga Tenshou while Aizen was somewhat off-guard , the moment he was on guard he palmed the same Getsuga Tenshou.
He uses Kyouka Suigetsu against everyone, including characters like Soi Fon who outright FAILED to damage him.Harribel for example could had damaged Aizen which is why he probably used Kyoka Suigetsu to counter her assault...
The Espada would get blitzed by Aizen as well.On top of that he was blitzed by Aizen multiple times.
Once again, the Espada would lose to Gin as well.Lost to Gin....
You mean aside from blocking attacks from a much stronger Espada in Released Yammy when he was at less than half his full power, actually being able to damage the man who them all his collective bitches or being able to block Gin's Bankai?Like what proof is there that FKT Mask Bankai Ichigo is anywhere above R1 Ulquiorra or R1 Harribel?
No they don't considering Yammy couldn't.Both of those Espadas in this form have reaction speed and movement speed and destructive power to deal with this Ichigo...
He blocked Gin's Bankai so yes there is.Is there any proof that FKT Mask Ichigo's raw speed increased so much that surpassed R1 Ulquiorra's who can do that to Mask Ichigo during their fight ?
And I just rewatched the entire Reigai arc , so if you wanna use sources of this as evidence despite it being filler ....Ichigo in that arc has nuclear Getsuga Tenshous.
But so what? R1 Ulquiorra can casually produce such attacks with Luz de La Luna and Cero Oscuras....
What in Season 2 got us Star level?Amazon Omniman is more powerful. Even Space Racer is Star Level now.
Space Racer's gun blew up a sun.What in Season 2 got us Star level?
