W overall vidéo, Ayanokoji's feat against Ichika in Y2 v7 isn't realy a blitz but more an outspeed, if we take the context of a ran between them, Ichika was at his best in speed on a very slighty distance and koji stop her. (Traveling at least 5 meters) With low ball calculation, we found hypersonic baseline to high hypersonic in higher ball.

@@jivraj2131 but we're talking abt a fight, I agree koji excell intelligence and would outsmart Mikey but in a fight, feats wise, Mikey is unrealistic such as beating 100+ people in just a few minutes without being tired and without a scratch, kicked a scooter for 5 meters as a kid while holding back, tanked a metal pipe 6 times (1 time alone would literally give you a brain concussion)from a bloodlusted kazutora who are comparable to baji who can crack walls while in nerd mode. Koji relying on targeting weak points, why?

Nice video. I would agree with most of it however I wanna talk about one thing. - The Whiteroom students aren’t actually superhumans within cote. Sure they can seem as superhuman compared to weaker students but they’re actually not. Level 5 is considered to be limit of humans capacity inside the whiteroom. They said this in volume 0. Yagami and ichika are below what’s considered superhuman or the limit of humanity inside classroom of the elite because they never actually went beyond their generations level. The reason they take this is because level 6 caused them all to drop out(Generation 7) taking this information. Characters that are considered to have superhuman strength should be above the whiteroom students or superhuman abilities. Keep note that the people who say “superhuman” have to be someone that’s affiliated with the whiteroom. Arisu, Arisu’s Dad, Atsoumi, Tsukishiro, Shiba and Koji should all be reliable sources for this type of thing.

2:28 kind of messes me up. The fastest recorded reaction speed for a human is 0.1 seconds. Having 0.013 seconds as the time frame Ayanokouji gave Amasawa to react is kind of off-putting, since he doesn't need to be 10x faster than the fastest recorded reaction speed to catch her off guard. Considering the best athletes in the world have a reaction speed at around ~0.16 seconds (F1 drivers and baseball players a tad bit lower), then to catch her off guard, he had to cover 5m in 0.15 seconds, which gives a speed of around 150 kph. Ridiculously fast, but not even nearly supersonic.

You can hype up Ayanokoji all you want, but he ain't beating Mikey. Bro has no great AP feats, yet 12 year old Chifuyu already scales to wall level (probably around 600kj-1.2mj), you can see it in the letter from baji manga. Koji blitzing Ichika feat isn't impressive compared to when Kakucho was not being seen when he bulldozed Angry, Chifuyu anf Inui to reach Takemichi. He crossed WAY more distance. Probably around 24-29m. So around hypersonic if we were to use the same timeframe you use for Ayanokoji. Mikey stomps and you can't do anything about it 😂
