That's not what the text says, though.

The text doesn't say he needs to monologue either. There's really no point here.

Anakin saw Kenobi in action more than several times...

And he rarely sees Yoda or Windu in action. Not only that but the two situations are hardly comparable. Timing something and comparing relative power are nowhere near the same.

Bottom line:

1. Proof Nihilus's can drain instantly (as fast as thought)?


It's shown.

2. Proof Nihilus can drain very powerful Force users like Anakin or Dooku?

The fact that an entire planet and some of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy were all killed in a matter of hours, as well as total destruction of the environment around them.

3. Speed feats for Nihilus that preclude him being overwhelmed by the teams speed?

Which I never claimed.

4. Question: Is drain resostence that the team knows sufficient on itself to secure the team from N.s drain?

Obviously it helps, but acting like it's an auto win for team because they can resist drain is stupid. What will win this for the team is superior combat skills and numbers.

It says when he spoke, that means the moment he made an audible noise the entire planet died.

The team dies instantly

Speaking =/= as fast as thought. I think you agree?

The point being that characters' opinions and guesses are always fallible, at least to a degree. Don't you agree?

Anakin pegs Kenobi at Windu's power level, Bane claims that Kas'im is the greatest duelist that ever lived, etc.

In short, I do not feel compelled to take Visas's opinion at face value.

I recall seeing the art of the comic. Hard to say how fast it was. Certainly didn't seem instantenous to me tbh, but feel free to post it.

quantity =/= quality

We've seen that Force users (even unrefined) but possessing some degree of innate power can withstand planetary attacks (Zannah).

I venture a guess that none of the mooks N. killed on Katarr where even close in power to Anakin, Dooku or Ulic.

I reiterate the question: Has Nihilus ever successfully drained anyone of the same Force-tier as the team?

I am well aware, and hope you didn't take it as something I was trying to pass off as your claim.

It was more a general observation/question. I have a feeling that speed comparision between Nihilus and the team will not be flattering to big N.

I don't think I am acting like that tbh. I am rather sceptical on N.'s trademark attack, though. Yet, agreed on the assertion on combat skills and numbers 👆

My contention was also to ask if you consider the defence that the team knows to be sufficent to defend themselves from N.'s drain.

None of these guys are cooler than Nihilus. And Anakin certainly isn't. 😬

I said it to tick people off. It seems I've succeeded.
