Something about Chisato that's been bothering me.

So apparently Chisato can predict the trajectory of a bullet and dodge it. We see her dodge bullets fired at her, in point blank range.
Thing is, at the bare minimum, the speed of a bullet is 100 m/s. We'll assume point blank distance to be one meter. So the time the bullet takes to reach Chisato, after pulling the trigger, would be 0.01 seconds. For the human brain to differenciate between two events, visually, it needs a minimum time interval of 0.25s between them.

So, the time interval from the instant someone points the gun at her and pulls the trigger, to the the instant the bullet makes contact with her, should all be one moment in her head, hence, she shouldn't be able to dodge.

You know what, we'll assume the gun man takes 0.2/0.3 seconds to pull the trigger. Even then, she should literally just be able to tell these two events apart. There is no scope for any reaction on her part. And keep in mind, most bullets travel way faster than 100 m/s, and while I'm no expert on guns, I believe, at point blank range it will take people faster than 0.2s to pull the trigger, as they don't have to aim. So yeah, even in the ideal case, Chisato shouldn't be able dodge fucking bullets.

"r/namecheck" of the OP.

Well, it’s anime. Fictionalized. In other words, it doesn’t have to make sense.

Oh and great job on the analyzing, but for the sake of your argument, I think it’s best if you don’t watch anime anymore if you look this extensively into it. Just have fun and enjoy the show! Sure, it’s fine to analyze but that should come secondary, at least for me.

The fact that she can dodge bullets, as unrealistic as it is, isn’t even my biggest issue with the show.
In the first scene we see her dodging bullets, the guy empties a magazine, but all his bullets would’ve hit her if she didn’t move. His aim with the first round looked like something you see in a CS GO spray control tutorial.
Then he reloads, and I can only assume he got a stroke that made him forget how to aim, because he can’t hit Chisato while she’s walking straight towards him.
Yes, her ability is highly unrealistic, but please show, don’t turn all the enemies into stormtroopers. Have them be competent, but have the protagonists be more competent, and I’ll be happy.

She dodged the bullet the same way she did before the reload (Did you notice that brief closed-up at her eyes? She was looking at the tip of his gun), they just showed them from the side way as she moved toward him.

Alslo, ep.3 just told us that she will have easier time dodging if enemy fire with high accuracy.

Secret333 said:

I rewatched that scene and she certainly doen't move in any way except walking forward. Even if it's framed from the side we should be able to tell if she's dodging to the side, which she doesn't look like she's doing that.
Also, she had her gun loaded before that guy reloaded his gun. She could've shot him earlier but decided to take a few steps forward, let him shoot several more bullets before she shot him.

"To OP, instead of question the logic behind Chisato dodging skill, you should just accept that Chisato can do it as the show claimed and analyze her strength & weakness base on those info instead."


I certainly wouldn't advocate for just accepting what shows tell you so easily as they can get away with shitty writing if everyone did that. People can be put off by Chisato's extraordinary abillity as much as they want.

Marina2 said:


Three things.

1. The second time she dodged was showed as a confirmation to audience that the first time she did it (before reload) was not a fluke but her skill. It's a story telling technique. So yes, she did the same thing. It was a bad drawing that made it look like she just proceed toward him without dodging.

2. Chisato knows her own skill and ability and she has been doing this for years. She knew he was not a big threat for her and can calmly took care of him. This scene basically told us how much experience Chisato has.

3. Not realistic doesn't always mean a bad writing as long as the story can make it work in its setting. And so far, it is not a problem at all for MOST people. (If it is for you, then I am sorry to hear that)

I will repeat: It's easier to just accept that Chisato can do it. You should spend your time analyzing her strength & weakness, and her limitation base on what the show told us about her ability instead. That's how we always do when discuss about something 'unrealistic' in media.

See, I know all to well that there are certain shows where I am better off turning off my brain and having fun. This wasn't one of them, so it just pricks me a little, when I realise this cheap plot device would be a recurring event.

This makes me want to rip my eyeballs out.

Animillion said:

Not as much as the series itself

bela_lolxx said:


This series is the best out of the summer 22 season lol.

Animillion said:

Yea… not for me. This series being considered “the best” would mean that this season as a whole is sh*t. If you think the season is sh*t then so be it. Btw, imagine if Chisato was a male and that this series wasn’t an all-girl series. I can almost guarantee that most people that are fans of this would lose interest

bela_lolxx said:


This whole summer season is a sleeper season. Out of all the summer premiers this one was by far the best. I would watch this show no matter if Chisato was a girl or boy. Maybe you’re right but this show would still have fans ether way lol. It would have less male fans but it still would have fans.

Animillion said:

Obviously it would have fans, but a lot of them are flocking to it because of it being all-girl and Chisato being a Mary Sue type character. If it was a male then people would be like “omg just another OP mc”. Also, Call of the Night was the best new anime imo and will only get better based on the manga. And if you wanna talk about sleepers, then that tile belongs to STR and AoAshi. Criminally underrated series compared to this overhyped one.

I’m sure this has been said multiple times, but OP, this is an anime. You’re here wondering about how a girl can dodge bullets and not wondering about how 16 year old girls can carry guns and stop terrorists?

Edit- Fun fact, this 0.3s rule is also why you see after images. If you move your hand quickly, it will, say, for the sake of convience, exist in five different positions. Your brain wouldn't be able to tell these events apart, and hence, you'll see your hand in five positions at the same time.

A sixteen year old girl gifghting terrorists with guns is a stretch, but ultimately, possible. Dodging bullets is physically impossible at that range. This show primarily features gun combat, so having a protagonist who can do that just ruins a lot.

Sigmar-Unberogen said:

Yeah, dodging bullets makes sense is Matrix for instance, but wouldn't make sense in John Wick, even though the guy's #1 best hitman in existence. That's why they have bulletproof suits there though.

"wouldn't make sense in John Wick"

Eh, please explain 0.32-0.37 in this video
