User:SeaTerror/Super-Human Speed

Super-Human Speed is a rarer condition to achieve than Super-Human Strength. So far, it has been achieved through the use of techniques such as Kuro's Shakushi, Monkey D. Luffy's Gear 2 or CP9's Soru. Bellamy, Enel, Bartholomew Kuma and Kizaru are also able to utilize their Devil Fruits abilities to move at speeds that are far above and beyond that of average human speeds.

Strengths and Weaknesses


Super-Human Speed allows a user to travel faster then the average eye can follow (to the point of seeming as if the user disappeared), this allows the fighter to strike so fast that to their enemies it may appear as if the attacks are literally appearing out of nowhere. Oda has stated (in SBS 42) that Kuro's Shakushi and the Rokushiki technique Soru make the user move at about the same speed. However, Shakushi renders Kuro to move blindly around killing everything in his path, while CP9 have complete control over their movements with Soru.

Even if they move very fast, those who reach this level can still be predicted by Haki users or combatants with sharp enough reflexes. It also does not completely prevent well trained fighters from still landing blows or managing to hold their own against someone with this level. This means, even with this high level of achievement are still able to be hit by even those of a slower speed. As was seen with Enel a combination of Haki and superhuman speed allowed him to avoid Luffy's attacks; but neither helped him at all when he didn't know the direction they were coming from.

Trivia

 * It is easy to mistake the fast speeds of other characters as "superhuman". However, while they are indeed fast they are not fast enough. Characters in this include (but are not limited to) Brook, Zoro and Sanji. "Super human" characters cannot be tracked while moving fast whereas the others are able to use speed at a fast enough rate to create an illusion of multiple images of themselves, such as Dalton in his bison-human hybrid form. The fact they are still able to be tracked however confirms they are still quite slow in comparison.
