G1s who talk about him, he can still move. Ogi was moving with FBE active.
I don’t really know about that part.
‘I forgot about the Ougi part it’s true but I don’t think he can run or do great movement speed while covered in FBE.
Maki attacked him and he auto countered
I feel like if Naobito could have used FBE + Projection sorcery at the same time he would have used it against Dagon. If I’m remembering correctly he was a siting duck against Dagon while in FBE.
I'm also not trying to downplay Kusakabe. To me he is 2nd in G1 rankings. But Naobito is Head of Zenin clan, there is no way Kusakabe outstrips him given Gojo's comment about including the Families. That is Gege basically saying "but he's not stronger than Naobito."
I agree with you that Gojo comment was made for us to know that Kusakabe even if the strongest G1 could be challenged and challenged hard by big families Grade 1 and the strongest of them Naobito. I also think this comment was directly made for Naobito.
Jinichi and Ougi were strong but nothing too special.
I don’t imagine Kusakabe losing against Ougi at all. Kusakabe has better feats, SD > FBE, can attack from distance, good H2H feats etc.
‘But yeah I made this Naobito fight because I think there is a match between them to know who is the strongest.
‘And even if Naobito can be stronger in most situation and is quite experienced I feel Kusakabe has the tools to bother him a lot.
