Cid is an expert in adjusting his powers. According to the character he plays.However, John Smith is still weaker than Shadow. His assessment was wrong because Shadow also used threads when fighting Ragnarok.
I mean it was pretty good, but the "Did he stop time?" reaction makes 0 sense. The idea of stopping time isn't even an idea they would think of, such an ability doesn't exist in this series. Everything Cid does is pure magical enhancements. This is just him using his ability to heighten his perception and speed. Even the Gravity attack "Soil Pressure" was just Cid exerting massive amounts of precise pulses of mana overtop Beatrix and Iris. They would likely question his speed or how he can perceive things and test at such a level. As far as they all know, Blood/liquid manipulation is inherent to Vampires, and Cid's magic capacity that of Demons. The people in this room don't think of things on the level of stopping time, No one in this series does truthfully. And despite how it is shown in the anime, Cid never made any of those movements, it was a visualization of him exerting his force and intent onto Claire. He was imagining and seeing how far he could realistically see himself moving in the grounds of the different ways he could kill Claire. Even Beatrix when fighting Cid only said it was like she lost track of the raindrops, that move "Raindrop step" worked as it did due to the rain. Still Cid is FAST but that wasn't him opening a portal or teleporting, it was him taking a basic skill "Flash Step" a normal Dark knight skill and using it to the extremes.
@@d3vout719 in there defense there not soppose to know what actually happen but i get where your coming from what they should had done is ask 3 questions 1 is it time magic? or maybe 2 is he so fast that it looks like time has time or 3 hes using anchient magic somehow that wouldve been a better comment then explaining what was wrong with there idea which again need to say they have no way of knowing what happen
@@kokichioumatheliar8081 see I see your point but time magic doesn't even exist to them, and they already know that the stronger someone is the faster than can be both literally and perceptionally . I get your point but still Time magic as an idea doesn't exist to them, magic doesn't do much aside from enhancements in TEIS in the first place and anything aside from that is made using magic as a force pushing things around
In the show he tricks ppl into believing its another person, so in the reaction he is giving dem false hope off there beening someone stronger than shadow only to reveal its shadow pretending to be someone else
