Luther Strode VS Shinichi Izumi
Migis speed and intelligence gives Shinichi an edge, especially since Luther will likely not realise that they're two different entities. Im not sure his precog will be that useful if he has no knowledge of what he's dealing with. I say Shinichi could take this with difficulty if he works with Migi.
@valor_175: what can Shinichi do?
@blackestnight93: He can stretch that thing on his hand to attack you, and thats about it. The fastest guy in the series cant even bullet-time.
haha, even the Librarian is a casual bullet timer, and Luther is far superior to him by EOS. What's his durabilitiy like?
@blackestnight93: Not enough to not be ragdolled by Luther
any feats to suggest that Luther can't just do this:
@valor_175: Shinichi can still move faster than the eye can track even without Migi, and was just as fast as Gotou, he isnt able to run faster than bullets, but is able to block them. He also has enhanced durability, being able to tank blows from Gotou, who is stronger than him. Migi could break a knife in half and stop a speeding car easily when he was basically an infant
@valor_175: Shinichi can still move faster than the eye can track even without Migi,
So can Luther, and he keeps up with people who can do that casually. The Librarian, who Luther took down in volume 1, is a casual bullet timer, and even a newbie Luther kept up with him. By EOS, he had long surpassed him
and was just as fast as Gotou, he isnt able to run faster than bullets, but is able to block them.
Luther can time them, making him faster
He also has enhanced durability, being able to tank blows from Gotou, who is stronger than him.
How strong? Because Luther can tank blows from Cain.... who can casually cleave fully armored men down the middle with his bare hands, along with being stronger then Luther, and thus capable of replicating every feat Luther has performed.
Migi could break a knife in half and stop a speeding car easily when he was basically an infant
That's cute. The Librarian was casually punching through reinforced steel doors, and Luther beat him when he first got his powers
@blackestnight93: http://mangafox.me/manga/kiseijuu/v01/c001.1/26.html - knocks out 5 people before they can react
http://mangafox.me/manga/kiseijuu/v01/c003/6.html - regular parasites, who Shinichi is far faster than, can kill multiple people before they know they're being attacked

@blackestnight93: Im not disputing that Luther is faster, just not fast enough to blitz Shinichi, and in strength they're about equal, with Strode being slightly stronger than Shinichis human body.
http://imgur.com/a/Gtzc4 - Gotou tanks shotguns loaded with magnum rounds for around a minute, only to shoot them back at his attackers with no difficulty. Keep in mind Migi can match Gotou with his blades even in his weakest state.
@iwasbornintheusa: again, none of that is impressive. moving FTE is childs play to people who can do this:
Luther is better then him in every way, keep in mind. Nothing you've posted is superior in Speed then that. Heck, you want FTE?
Cain, who Luther can keep up with, moves FTE to a bullet timer (Musashi, who is also a method user and thus, can time bullets like the Librarian) and kills him while Musashi attempts to blitz him
Also, piercing stone? That's nice:
The Librarian can rip a reinforced steel door off it's hinges casually.
I still think Shinichi/Migi can win this with difficulty if they work together. Migi is extremely good at figuring out his opponents strengths/weakness's, and can come up with plans to defeat enemies much better than him physically on the spot. Luther doesn't know anything about parasites, which gives Migi an advantage, since he won't be expecting to be fighting two separate entities
@blackestnight93: Im not disputing that Luther is faster, just not fast enough to blitz Shinichi, and in strength they're about equal, with Strode being slightly stronger than Shinichis human body.
why not? He's faster then other people who can bullet time and can keep up with people who can blitz bullet timers. and Shinichi isn't a bullet timer. So, Luther can blitz him. It's not a stretch. Also, where are they equal in strength? People below Luther have exceeded any feat you've posted for Shinichi
http://imgur.com/a/Gtzc4 - Gotou tanks shotguns loaded with magnum rounds for around a minute, only to shoot them back at his attackers with no difficulty. Keep in mind Migi can match Gotou with his blades even in his weakest state.
Adorable. Luther's had his own intestines ripped out. What does he do? uses them to strangle the Librarian, then stuffs them back in and heals up in seconds. This isn't even factoring in everything else Luther, and others like him, can tank. Heck Luther replicated that feat himself in the first few pages of his first volume, and he's only gotten better since then
Luther is a complete clown. Shinichi murders and anyone who believes otherwise has either been lied to or are simply too ignorant.
Shinichi is simply unimpressive compared to Luther, Gotou would be a better fight, but Luther would still win.
@w0rldwarweeb: Your trolling right? I really hope your not serious about that....
I'm not. Trolling isn't my thing.
@w0rldwarweeb: Your trolling right? I really hope your not serious about that....
I'm not. Trolling isn't my thing.
In that case, you're just wrong.
Mind elaborating?
Are the parasites not bullet timers? I could swear I've seen a GIF of one blocking bullets with my own eyes.
As early on as the Strange Talent of Luther Strode we see Luther Strode, and the Librarian destroy an entire warehouse.

@kingcrimson: Parasites not being bullet timers is a misconception, Gotou showed the ability to dodge gunfire, but only said that he couldn't move faster than the bullet could actually travel, and considering the remnants of Migi's body that were still in Shinichi could still react to Gotou, its likely Migi is capable of the same thing, but not Shinichi.
Luther with low-mid difficulty. He has better physicals and no weakness for Migi to exploit. Gotou had similar advantages over Shinichi and the latter was terrified of him and survived mostly on luck.
Luther probably wins but I hate how everyone uses that bullet timing quote as some testament against Shinichi's speed
Agreed.
