We all love shunpo, but I was over-thinking as usual and I thought, what is shunpo like from the person doing it. All we see is they are there one moment, the next they're not.
Moving so fast, does it seem as if time is slowed down, or is it all to quick to notice
Because I thought if I were to do a flash step in real life, what would you see, would it be like the movie 'clockstoppers'?
For those who haven't seen it, the movie is about a watch that accelerates your particles so fast that it appears as if time has stopped, where you can literally run by people (or walk for that matter) and they wont see you because you're moving so fast. In the movie a team of people wearing watches of their own infiltrate and search an entire household while the family inside unsuspectingly watches television.
But thats what I'm wandering, because every action anime has moments where people are so fast they can get behind you without you even noticing.
Your 6 feet away from your brother who is directly in front of you getting ready to throw a baseball at your head. In a split second you move behind him and catch his arm before he can even throw the baseball. In
that split second you accomplished much more than he did, in fact, he didn't even manage to move his arm. So from your point of view, his arm isn't moving, where in reality he may be moving really fast.
To be able to control such a speed the rate at which you think would have to drastically be increased, just so you could control your self in that split second. Seeing at an increased rate would make it seem as if you had slowed down time, when in reality your just thinking/seeing/acting at higher normals.
The following is how I think the brain really is.
In that split second, your movement was faster than he could think (literally).
If a persons brain updates itself every xth of a second,after each update your brain notices differences in light, time, etc; your movement took less than that amount of time. Therefore, at one update he sees you, before his brain can update itself your already behind him, there for it seems as if you disappeared or teleported. Its more of the speed of informational update.
This means that the movements and muscle memory of the doer should be raised at a particular height that exceeds what most people are running at. Basically, there is a delay when the brain sends information to the specific muscle that needs to be executed, and this delay is more of nth times the number of possible thought arguments before a final decision as to what to execute next will be made. Literally, the flash step users have brains which are relatively faster than their movements, which are also apparently faster than the brain informational update of an ordinary individual.
I guess it would totally be effective to pull a shunpo
live when needed. Just a thought; isn't this technique possible with ninjutsu?
Shunpo, Sonido, Hirenkyaku, Flash Step... fastest means of transportation
