I thought some more about it and realized thatYou're right, it could just be that the art style is different. If Kishi were to have drawn that attack, he'd probably do the same thing with Konan.

, and she was never stated to have superhuman speed feats (next page shows the feathers being destroyed and scattered by Pumpkin's shot). So I think it shows that the feathers aren't as fast as Konan's projectiles. Also, I think it proves that Ran's feathers have a slight delay between being fired and reaching full speed (at least this is how it always looked like to me).Ran's back is usually open though. He doesn't seem to be able to guard it as we've seen. Do you think a kunai flying through the air makes enough noise to alert someone without superhuman hearing?Surprise kunai/shuriken attacks can be heard of and defended by his wings but Shitenshin from the blind spot could end this.
Edit: also, ironically, despite having a Trump Card that can deflect attacks, Ran's defense was never shown to be very good (and his confidence in finishing Akame with it was most likely him overestimating himself). First off, there's no evidence that

is not the extent of what Divine Wings can do (anime is a separate canon so I won't mix the feats), and secondly,

the only time Ran blocks a projectile with his wing. He is a zombie, and his back is still open. He was also open to Mine's shot (after that page I linked in the first paragraph). There's no evidence that he can, like, coil the wings around himself for defense (although he does that in my stories because it sounds logical).The databook also praises his "analytical skills". Since Fuu is a lot more combat-experienced than Ran (in fact, Fuu's training and upbringing was like Akame's in a way - very rough and from early childhood), I'd say that he has the advantage of being more focused and strategic. I mean, if we take mindsets into consideration, Ran is quite prone toOf course he was a kage body guard and trusted by Danzo above the other members of Root.

while Fuu is "logical" and "composed" according to the databook. This is what I meant by Fuu having a window of time to attack him.I don't think I want to make a thread (people have mocked me for liking Fuu before). I could put it into some other form though. Or I could analyze Ran instead.I made several of those threads and was once thinking about doing one on Ino. You could do one for Fuu if you want as it would be interesting to read.
Well, these "pawns" of Stylish were literally fodder. And I think Lee's kick was faster than many things in AgK. Again, if Temari could see shadows and kunai coming at her while surrounded by dust, I'd say she has a fair chance to see Akame coming.I don't think Temari can block Akame's swordplay in CQC because Akame'sYou must be registered for see linksis fast enough to slice over a dozen guys in an instant before their body parts get affected by gravity. But then again, Bols managed to block Akame's sword strike.
