DEATH BATTLE - Season 8: Settling the debate once and for all?

[Rater202]

Cutting is literally just a function of speed/force that is diminished by area. I could cut you with a bowling ball if I was moving fast enough. Tearing, breaking, and cutting are all the SAME THING from a physics standpoint. Shadow moves sufficiently fast that any force he exerts on her would be equivalent to a cut or puncture depending on the angle.

From physics standpoint, yes.

But as I've repeatedly mentioned, Life Fibers explicitly in-universe don't care about physics. If Ragyo ripping Ryuko's heart out with her bare hands didn't do any permanent damage, I doubt that Shadow could kill her that way.

If he couldn't do it to Vegeta, he won't be able to do it to Ryuko. Like, I'm pretty sure that would work. But I don't think he can in the first place.

Even then... I'm not so sure. We're talking Gurren Lagann levels of "I'm too awesome for physics to matter" here. After the last episode, throwing her into the sun might just piss her off. And with Senketsu she can fly and survive unaided in space, so...
