[h2]Sasaki Kirima - Brakes x Zero = ???[/h2]
Despite the pleas of his friends, despite their overwhelming emotional support for the emotionally unstable structure that was Sasaki, there was no stopping him. There was a simple reason for this:

Sasaki Kirima did not charge at Kei.

No. He had [i]pounced[/i] at Kei, which is an action distinctly different from charging in one very important way: it involves jumping at the target. That is to say, throwing one's body into the air by using the muscles in one's legs and feet. Which meant that he was in midair, a location where most of the population has a hard time spinning 1080 degrees, much less alter their flight course while after having been riddled with bullets and mentally decimated, weighing... a lot, and just in general being as non-aerodynamic or flexible as possible.

Unsurprisingly, the newly introduced combination of unrelated external factors only indirectly acting on him would do nothing to prevent the heavily wounded, mind-addled titan from, well, soaring through the air like a big cat jumping on a gazelle. Or, to be more accurate, probably something like a big cat jumping on a wildebeest who some how found its way in front of a gazelle while a songbird watched since Bang had decided to get in between him and Kei, and Kotori was just... there. Floating with the power of her telekinetic force. Either way, even if he wanted to stop, this train had no brakes.

...

Poor Bang. Being Sasaki's friend was hard, wasn't it? But hey, maybe when he finally hit the ground one way or another, he would heed his allies' words.

I mean, if there wasn't a shattered sword sticking out of Kei or Bang at the end of it all, at least.
