A clip titled "水神流の奥義がひどすぎるｗ" ("The Water God Style's ultimate technique is straight-up broken lol") from the reaction channel Anime-kun no Hanno-shu pulled in 181 comments arguing over whether an elderly swordswoman named Reida is simply too strong for the story around her. One heavily-liked comment lays out the technique in one line: move inside her barrier and you get shredded, unless you can deflect every slash — which basically nobody in the cast can. The thread's real argument was about power-scaling honesty: does an ultimate move that can neutralize four named heroes at once, and can only be beaten by Orsted walking through it and killing her, actually work as written, or does it just make everyone else look weaker by comparison? Commenters reached for other franchises entirely to make the point, from Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest character to Hunter x Hunter's speedster. By the end, the closest thing to a consensus was that the technique is fine in theory — as long as you never actually have to fight her.
