If kinemon has the physical strength to pierce kaido scales and has the reaction speed to react to borrow, explain why he cannot block the tail? -.-
Kin'emon used RYOU to stab Kaido. As in HAKI. That's a translation of physical strength. Get it? Physical strength is actual body strength. When someone is blocking an attack, they use their actual body to do it. As in all their muscles from their legs to their backs to their arms.
I've explained the difference between Kin'emon swinging his arms to cut fire and his actual legs moving his body over a long prolonged distance. If you do t understand that Kin'emon is not AS FAST AS GEAR FOURTH LUFFY in Movement then Meh.
And being able to put your sword through the skyscraper falling on you doesn't mean anything. Get it? For example Kin'emon can cut through Rocks right? Of course he can. But Pica was going to kill him. Understand. Kin'emon can cut through the rocks Pica is made but the fact that it's a fuckin mountain sized rock going to him, he was still going to die.
So Kin'emon's maximum effort being a small stab wound through Kaido doesn't stop the rest of Kaido's tail that's the size if a skyscraper moving at gear fourth speed from CRUSHING HIM
