Well, that was less lethal for the guards than it could have been at least!
Except, if he did that right, the guy whose nose he crunched just got bits of bone and cartilage shoved up into his brain, killing him. Judging by the way his eyes rolled up in their sockets, it's likely.
It's actually really rare that would happen.
Killing someone with a strike to a nose is debunked martial arts myth. While it's definitely possible to smash someone's face with enough force to cause bone fragments to travel into brain, it requires really strong force (like a car accident or similar from what I've gathered). Other facial bones and the nose's cartilage work as pretty good "safe zone" (painfully) absorbing the impact. Usual dangers of getting a hard hit on the head are much more likely to be a cause for concern.
Or that's what Google told me when I checked if the killing strike to nose was a myth or not. :D
There's no such thing as cheating when you are fighting for your life.
All is fair in love and war so maybe in this too? :D
Should be as long as he doesn't require perfectly straight nose anymore in his life. :')
These have been awesome fight frames and sequences. Lots of flow and action but you can still understand what's going on.
Aah, thank you! I'm really happy to hear that they have been easy to follow! It's something I've been trying to pay extra attention with these. So glad to hear it's working and pages still flow. <3
Awwwww yeah this is a great page!
I hope the guard's not gonna need their nose later.
I am slowly catching up and man Nidi can bring in the pain. These shots are so wonderfully dynamic and I love them <3
I'm super happy to hear the fight pages are working!
