Yup. Like, the stronger he gets hit by blunt force, he'll still get buffered and shit, but the more kinetic energy he absorbs from the blow. It can be however you want it. It can just be natural, like once he's kicked in the face his body instinctively absorbs energy from the kick, or he can grab the limb and grin sadistically as he absorbs the energy from their fist or something. Up to you, yo.
