Big Order

[shinta|hikari]

What do you mean he can't dominate them mentally? The girl whose entire existence is devoted to killing him can't kill him with just one order. I'm pretty sure his orders are absolute.

I heard the tunnel explanation, but it was a pretty weak excuse. He can stop bullets in his territory right? Why can't he, uh, float to the sky? Float others to the sky? Stop all debris coming in from the sides once they enter his box shaped range? It's just not clear what he can and cannot do.

The problem with how they executed this is they showed him as practically all-powerful in certain scenes, making it hard to write any believable suspense.

The issue with him wanting respect from the 10 is that it isn't necessary with his powers. If his powers can't do that, then the show has to tell us why. Otherwise, it makes no sense to the viewer why he isn't just forcing them to cure his sister right now.

EDIT:
@Munsu - He already ordered the 10 to never leave his territory, and his orders never lose effect even if he's asleep or whatever, as shown by Re-something Fire girl's shackles. That means with the right set of orders, he will never need to worry about betrayal (i.e. Don't betray me duh!).
