Would you say Gutts is the strongest 100% pure human in all of manga?
I don't think there's anything realistic about swinging a iron tree around like it's a toothpick. Guts is impossibly strong.Maybe the most realistical strong guy up to when he gets that Armor, even though it's exaggerated many times.
Guts is not that much broken as other manga/anime characters over the years, his world may fit as having broken creatures like the God Hand, but since he could not beat them, he himself is not that strong, the God Hand are far more hax and stronger than he is. He does bend certain rules of what a realistic fighter holding a sword would do, but he is not that powerful.
Even with the Berserk armor, but sadly that is not Guts doing all the work here, he is mostly human and the armor gives him more of that super power. He was strong before, but the battles took way longer then with the armor.
That's an interesting post,greek athletes first used all sorts of meats then plants(tribulus) to enhance their performance.over the course of years there were many athletes capable of superhuman feats - greek athletes competing in olympics, spartans, gladiators, and that is just antique greece and rome. many of the people performing in circuses also have strength that would otherwise probably be thought of as impossible or unrealistic. modern gymnasts are also incredibly strong.
Tendons & joints do not get stronger compared to muscles fibers,which when torn off get stronger once repaired,And Guts,more importantly swinged a sword left & right as a little Boy, a Kid's constitution is much more Fragile than a grown up,that's imo what's hard to swallowthe only thing that seems to be way too unrealistic is the thing with his joints. but if the circumstances were right and he was very lucky, he might be able to pull it off. i mean - he was only swinging the sword his whole life. exactly the same way. the joints might have gotten so strong to be able to deal with that kind of strain. he is afterall only 23 or something. he could still get crippled. many athletes eventually end up having wrecked bodies (balet comes to mind as the best example).
Well,my take on this is that the human body is'nt really made for strength,after a certain amount of training,injuries inevitably fall upon us,right ? We've all experienced that.my opinion - after incredibly hard training done repeatedly over a very long time period a humans body could get so strong as gutts body was before the armor thingy. the weight of the sword hes swinging all over the place would have to be increased very slightly every time, so that his body could get used to it
actually they do. not the same way the muscles get stronger though. or i should probably say that they get used to the strain. for example basketball. since i am not used to running because i am lazy piece of **** my ankles might end up being sprained after a short while. and that is running in one direction. in basketball (or tennis) people almost constantly run at top speed, break and then run in the opposite direction, again at top speed. i wouldnt last 5 minutes. tennis players are able to pull that off for 3 hours. couple of times a week. every month. every year. for quite a lot of years. of course - technique is quite important there as well. thats why people have said that nadal would cripple himself eventually with that playstyle of his even before he injured his ankles (? i am not sure if it were the ankles though).Tendons & joints do not get stronger compared to muscles fibers,which when torn off get stronger once repaired,And Guts,more importantly swinged a sword left & right as a little Boy, a Kid's constitution is much more Fragile than a grown up,that's imo what's hard to swallow
Ya "normal human" would be better. :P Cuz actual power compared to everyone else no chance. But ya I like Guts because he is natural, no chakra, no reikai, no unrealistic sources of power, just his muscles and and his guts.I should have said strongest Non magical human swordsman. That sounds about right.
