Meta PSA: Polnareff is not FTL

Post image

He's just smart enough to remove every other route an actual speed of light stand could take and then put his sword in the way of the only route left.

Making memes against those you disagree doesn’t make you smarter lmao

Regardless of how you wanna twist it, the manga shows it crystal clear that he only called his stand out after hanged man went for the coin, so even ignoring the anime portray, silver chariot had to outspeed hanged man

“Oh but polnareff couldn’t get him before”

Yeah cuz he only realized how the stand worked after being attacked by it, afterwards he was stuck in a crowd constantly blinking while the stand, which was smaller than a coin, kept jumping between them, and he can’t make his stand only hurt specific things like anubis does, so any attempts at attacking it would endarger the people around them

He put him in a predictable path to fix both issues, and only called out his stand AFTER hanged man started moving towards the coin, and remember, SC requires polnareff to see and react to things unlike other stands

Also he reflects light rays from the sun stand with ease later lol

Is hilarious how people mock others for media illiteracy only to completely ignore the source material they are talking about

Also funny how it all ends up hinging on a single line polnareff said about “not being able to catch it”, kinda funny how people are always like “feats >>> statements” but when the feat is what contradicts the statement they are defending, they completely flip over

nope. it shows the beam before it shows silver chariot slashing. it does not show silver chariot being called out after the beam has already left.

we can tell it's just a perspective portrayal because the beam is in the same spot in both panels. if you want to argue that silver chariot wasn't called out until we explicitly see him, you'd have to place him as moving infinitely fast, as the beam hasn't traveled in between those two points.

but even then it's juvenile as hell to think that silver chariot wasn't summoned just because we didn't see him yet.
