Can Tatsuya survive a headshot? Regrowth cast time..

stefeman said:
Yeah, as the title says.. We saw a sniper shooting through his left lung and it was healed in seconds nullifying all the organ damage..

But what if it hits the head? I would assume his "computing power" is installed to his head physically so would he be able to survive that? It is known he can restore objects to it's original form though..

As for condensed pain..

Magicians need their brains to perform magic, because nerve cells are necessary to manipulate psions. Even in CADs, there are synthetic neurons. If someone would shot Tatsuya's Magic Calculation Area, Regrowth wouldn't work. But considering Shiba's plot armor, something like that is not going to happen.

So what you're saying is... he's invincible?

Satan-sama said:
I think He can heal his entire body ofc including his head, well, I don't think he's invincible, every magician has their weak points.

Elaborate his "weakness"??

He has none, he could survive a nuclear explosion if he felt like it.

Fucker could survive a nuke from orbit.

He could survive being thrown into a black hole.

Sapewloth said:
He would actually be the one swallowing the black hole.

Satan-sama said:


No one can do that. -_-

Flashoftheback said:


What are you saying now. No matter what, Blackhole is also a form of phenomenon that has psions, with decomposition "wanking" he can even turned it into a mere information.
He implicitly can eat the blackhole.

Emnay said:
He's so powerful that just by existing he creates black holes throughout the universe.

Swallowing hundred billion solar systems every two seconds and not even enough emotions to give a single fuck.

True badass.

Why the hell he would do a meaningless thing like that. -_-

weapon of mass destruction right there

I m pretty sure that nerve cells just make it easier to manipulate psions, but not absolutely needed, pushion bodies(souls) are able to perform magic by itself this is already stablished.

Suddenly, killing intent mushroomed forth above him from the right.
Tatsuya took evasive action on reflex.
There wasn't even a hint of hesitation in his motion.
Even so, he could not avoid the bullet that flew at supersonic speed.
He felt a burning pain in his breast,
Where the bullet had pierced through his left breast.
The impact from the bullet caused his body to fly through the air.
The enemy's sniping attack was incredibly accurate.
Even if he avoided a fatal attack, the blow still pierced his lung.
Given how late he heard the gunshot, the attack must have been made from an extreme distance. If Tatsuya hadn't taken evasive action, the bullet would have pierced his heart.
Conservatively speaking, this was an incredibly skilled sniper.

Regrowth doesn't work if his dead ie' he can't revive the dead as seen in vol 8.Total annihilation will kill him,insta kills can kill him,using up all his lifeforce and exhausting all his psions can kill him and mental interference magics will work on him (like Miyuki's OP magic).

Flashoftheback said:

And, enemy who capable doing something like that is???

darkreaperix said:


Lina with her HMB
anyone from the 12 apostles
Masaki with Rupture
Miyuki :)
the Sniper that almost killed him :)

jakkubus said:

Masaki? Tatsuya would decompose him, his barrier and Rupture sequence with one spell.
Also only few apostles can hurt him. Itsuwa Mio certainly cannot do it with Deep Abbys.

darkreaperix said:


Unless Tatsuya gets "Ruptured" first heh :)
We only met 1 apostle in battle,2 or 3 were named with their SC magic and Mio is the weakest apostle,how do you know only a few can hurt him????We don't even know what the other unnamed apostles can do??

jakkubus said:

Tatsuya can dispel Rupture with Gram Dispersion and then disintegrate Masaki with Mist Dispersion. Ichijou ain't faster than him or Miyuki.
Apostles are users of SC spells, not the strongest magicians. Maya would probably curbstomp most of them, when Tatsuya is faster and stronger than her.

Flashoftheback said:

- Line will get decomposed first.
- Nuke all of those fodders down. Mio just get decomposed instantly.
- Your joke isn't funny.
- Why Imouto must harm onii-sama?
- Your second attempt joke also failed.

The answer is no one. Just show me an enemy who can stand against Tatsuya's full might and it will be okay.

darkreaperix said:

Lina is an SC magician and considered publicly that's she's the strongest magician in the world.

But what is faster Rupture or Decomp?Who can spam more?

Tatsuya can touch them first but they can't? They are not statue , anyone skilled enough can touch him, Tatsuya got hurt several times in the LN but they never hit his head or his heart. Rupture and Cocytus kills upon contact, any skilled magicians could kill him if they attack him at the right place. Even a sniper is able to do it.

Flashoftheback said:

But that "anyone skilled enough" didn't actually exist. And his damage repaired by regrowth. Plot armor makes the enemy didn't hit brain or heart(and people said Tatsuya doesn't have plot armor).
Mist dispersion is faster than Rupture. As i said Miyuki IS not an enemy, imouto will never Cocytus-ed Onii-sama.
Sniper is so meta talk, it's about the time for you to realize that, it's just like you talking that any human would kill superman if they stab him with kryptonite or sniper will kill Bruce Wayne while he dating a woman.

darkreaperix said:


It's not like plot armor,(somebody already explained it in the ep 19 thread,snipers don't target the head especially if they are 1000 meters away and at night,they target the body for higher chance to hit,and why would they know he can restore?It's both a military and Yotsuba secret.For a normal magician or human,that was definitely a kill shot,so don't look down on the unnamed sniper) but more in the line of common sense,who would in their right mind would kill off their popular male MC (yes he is popular in Japan,he's been in the top 20 fave male in the Kono LN polls and top 1 a few months back in Newtype magazine) halfway thorough the story (vol 14 will be released next month and the author has stated that his plan for the series to last 20-25 volumes,unless he changed his mind)?We might see more near death scenes in the future
.I would say plot armor is when MC loses his hand that negates esp and magic powers,still win and survive strong enemy and the next vol (or the next following volume) it magically reattaches (again not hating on that said series) :)

jakkubus said:

So what, that Tatsuya was in Top Whatever? Every protagonist from hyped manga/LN (Kirito, Eren) is in something like that for some time during anime airing.

It is plot armor. His enemies are always either uninformed, retarded or underestimating him despite his showy attitude. Also every attack miraculously misses his vital parts.

hakazee said:
in the new volume,

Tatsuya fight with Parasite Doll and Tats's abusng his Rebirth reconstruction spell, tanking everything that doesn't hit his head or heart.

so, his head and his heart is important even though he has rebirth.

MagicianX26 said:
Wrong on all counts all of you guys.

In fact I formulated a strategy to beat the fker.

In fact, while its the soul that's casting the magic(I.e. giving orders), it requires the brain to do so. So therefore, the moment when his entire brain is gone (i.e. head), he will stop functioning, and die for real.

So thus, in fact, two persons using Masaki's or Juumonji's abilities and with the same lvl of skill can effectively finish off Tatsuya (if they so wanted to, that is) in a fight.

-Juumonji and Masaki will have to repeatedly lock down Tatsuya with Palanx and Air Bullet, plus all their varying forms.

-Juumonji will have to knock Tatsuya down with a charge,

-Masaki will have to destroy Tatsuya's brain by using Rupture on all the blood in his head.

Other ppl can be used, through results might be harder to get.

Or just cast Cocytus on him.

jakkubus said:

It is possible to bypass Tatsuya's self-restoration, but it is just one of his defences.

- And Tatsuya has to decompose it. Idk if he is able to destroy all layers of Phalanx, but Masaki's Air Bullets are not even issue there.

- Yeah, good luck. Tatsuya is freaking ninja, so he can easily avoid that.

- But Tatsuya is the faster one here, so it's not going to work.

- Only person with Mental Interference magic, that could harm Tatsuya, is mindless doll, which would never go against him.
