Nagi's Lifemaker punch is a bigger explosion than anything in Bleach, as are Rakan's Eternal Negi Fever or his opening attack at the tournament.
Oh yea, Nagi's. Though is ENF or the opening attack really bigger? 'As big,' maybe, but I don't think they're more sizable than, say, Final form Ichigo's attacks.
By Negi's own admission, Kurt Godel can swing his sword as quickly as Negi's lightning form. He also admits that Fate is able to react to it as well.
Yep, when he's in lightning mode. But that's my point, he isn't traveling at the speed of lightning all the time when he's in lightning mode, only when he shifts his mass completely into electricity, which he is visually not doing just for having his lightning forms on.
And we see slower people watch and react to faster people pretty often- if you work from the low end and scale up, you get more reasonable numbers.
Rakan's sword feat was a casual throw, he tossed a giant sword, then easily outstripped it and landed on it.
Yea, and the sword was only mach 3.2.
Also, when is Negi "visibly slower" when not resembling a bolt?
Watch him fight- when Negi is actually draw as a bolt, it's shown as sort of a pseudo-teleport, he's just *at* his destination. When he's humanoid, it shows him actually moving, but fast.
His speed in fights varies considerably (even in mode 2) in how he's drawn, Negi is definitely not going at a constant crazy high speed.
Plus the actual description- it says he gets to lightning speed because he's turned mostly into lightning. Obviously, if he isn't as fully lightning, then he won't be as fast.
When he hits people, he's always in humanoid form, which is noteworthy- because he only has mass when he's not 100% lightning. Again, going by the very description of how his speed works, turning his physical body into lightning, not being physical is a natural consequence.
He's only 100% lightning when shown trying to get to a place, never when hitting, and is drawn traveling faster when doing so.
