Who Survives Geirrod?
Which characters would be capable of completely nullifying, dodging, or blocking the three stages of Geirrod?
Stage 1: Thor hurls Mjolnir toward his opponent; if the strike lands, the target is FU$%#@. In this scenario, who could deliberately evade the hammer at such close range and with such tremendous speed?
Stage 2: Mjolnir curves around and returns toward Thor, but suddenly appears at the opponent's blind spot: 「今度は背後から呂布を襲うか」. The verb used by Heimdall is 襲う (osou), which conveys meanings such as "to attack," "to invade," "to assail" — but also carries the sense of an unexpected assault, something that catches the adversary by surprise. This makes it clear that no one anticipated Mjolnir's return in that manner, and the element of surprise is explicitly emphasized.
Stage 3: Finally, assuming the opponent has evaded the first two stages, who could block or escape the full Geirrod? It is worth remembering that even when blocked by Lu Bu, the attack released enough energy to severely wound him, even shattering both of his legs and leaving him completely incapacitated.
