[*]The explosion Dias described and comparable to a botched suicide bomber attempt. This is much more significant in damage potential to how Leeroy elaborated.
[*]The scythe ended mid-way of the stomach of Shin. This plays a significant role later.
[*]Dias is roughly 8' away from his own explosion.
[*]The attack that penetrated Shin was permitted because we do not know where the plates are. This plays a role later
[*]The explosion being inside of Shin's body plays a role alongside the armor's defenses and his own bodily defenses.
[*]Shin is capable of operating in grievous situations.
[*]Dias maneuvered out with a burst of ether to jet away after his explosion.

[b][color=yellow]Verdict[/color][/b] This match continues. Due to the explosion output simile described by Dias: Shin would take much more significant damage than what his post addresses. The resulting explosion can be argued for varying effects, but the scale of a failed suicide bomb is dangerous enough to obliterate his lower body. The scythe blade stopping at his stomach suggest that the explosion itself is confined between the thighs, pelvic region, and up to the ribs of Shin's torso; however, because of his body's tough exterior along with his armor constricts the combustion. This is lethal such as having an explosion inside a body would result in the concussive wave having much less open space to disperse. The armor of Shin, and its steel plating for this matter, might protect Dias from receiving critical shrapnel damage, though being in proximity of his own detonation; although, since portion of the scythe is outside of Dias' opponent and being within clear range of his explosion means he will also take damage. We cannot determine if he is immune to his own explosion as a result of abilities. Shin is not dead, but his lower body is severed from the resounding explosion. Dias will receive concussive damage and shrapnel from his own scythe despite his evasion because explosions are a fast phenomenon and his speed was not specified.

The match resumes with severe damage dealt to Shin. Leeroy, I am issuing you an EOD in light of this so your post is not a waste. Adjust for the changes and highlight them in your post. You may also attack in your EOD as well.
