@zoldycklogic:
Hit has an attack that ignores durability and can phase through an object, causing internal damage. Goku and Jiren managed to block this attack plenty of times using Ki shields.
DB Ki in its own is a very useful weapon in the DB verse it can even be considered as Hax.
- Enough Ki would allow you to:
- Resist heat.
- Resist absolute zero temperature ( Vegeta in base form )
- Resist phasing attacks
- Resist molecular manipulation ( Buu absorbing Vegito )
- exert more force ( increase physical striking force )
- absorb more force ( increase durability )
- many more...
His invisible Ki blasts that operate sort of like shockwaves in the sense that they continue to pass through the body, damaging the inner tissue, right? Those are good attacks, and I do believe Ki shields can offer some resistance to certain techniques that ignore standard durability. In Saint Seiya, Knights train specifically for the purpose of targeting the atoms inside of their target, breaking it apart from within by flaring their Cosmo:

In the second scan, we see a younger Seiya training to become a Knight--he has some issue breaking apart a rock with brute force alone, which is the reason his teacher Marin demonstrated the destructive technique passed down to the Knights throughout the ages. Essentially, she uses her Cosmo alone to shatter the rock's atoms--breaking it apart from within.
While Ki shields have shown some resistance to many types of unique abilities in the past, it has never displayed the power to protect the user on an atomic scale. Now, I do believe Whis could use an external Ki shield that we see characters utilize in combat from time to time to prevent some of Seiya's attacks from reaching him altogether, but whether or not Whis would know to constantly shield himself with a barrier, especially since he doesn't have knowledge on Seiya's abilities and he's bloodlusted here, is another story. Besides, I believe Seiya could break through a Ki barrier with techniques like Pegasus Comet Fist or a Barrage of Meteor Fists (even in the first part of the manga once Seiya achieved light speed, he could throw close to 100 million a second). His Comet Fist alone was able to completely overpower Gemini Saga's Galaxian Explosion: A technique that is said to have the force required to destroy galaxies (at full power numerous galaxies):

The reason why this is an impressive feat for Seiya is not only due to the fact that it happened during the first part of the manga, back when he was still a rookie Bronze who had just awakened his 7th Sense, but Seiya himself had also been through Hell just to get to Saga's chamber. He wore himself out fighting against numerous Gold Knights and had 6 of his senses taken away from him by Saga.
Now Whis is a being that who can travel between universes. And his body can react to anything even if Whis himself didn't manage to see this attack coming. And by his statement, Megatte No Goku'i allows his attacks to be as effective as they can be.
Why is this important?
A normal guy would only be able to go as fast as 20-25 km/hrs. But would easily be able to drive a car going 10 times this speed. So his senses are capable of working at this speed.
When Whis travels Billions of times faster than the speed of light, It's only natural to say that he can heighten his senses to work at this speed. Yet his body is not limited to such speed.
I am of the opinion that navigating through space requires some perceptive abilities, especially if you're traversing galactic distances at FTL+ speeds. I suppose the same thing would apply to Seiya, however, since we've seen him cross 10 billion galaxies (more in the original Japanese translation) within mere minutes (timeframe backed up by Hades' statement regarding the eclipse) as a Bronze Knight. We've also seen him react to Thanatos' energy attacks that cross this distance and more in an even shorter timeframe. It should also be noted that God Seiya scales to Gold Knights like Shiryu, a character whose attack speed exceeded the initial expansion of the universe and has reactions fast enough to block attacks that travel between different universes in seconds.
And don't forget that Whis hasn't yet shown any sign of his true powers. We can only scale him to be much stronger than GoDs.
That's part of the issue with using him in battles, imo. We have no idea what he's truly capable of, but based on what we've seen and who he scales to, I don't think there's enough to put him against a bloodlusted God Cloth Seiya as of now.
