he isnt just all talk

Wondrous Enlightenment, unlike it's predecessors, sacrifices every aspect of it's design considered unnecessary, such as the extra eyes for Tengatsu of the MK.I and the gauntlets that fire Shinai of MK.II, instead relying solely on it's ability to further enhance the physical parameters of it's wearer. Without his uniform, he was at least strong enough not to explode into a bloody mess of #rekt against Junketsu!Ryuko, even if it was very very brief(honestly if the fight lasted any longer he'd have been completely destroyed, he distracted her for a few seconds at best.) He's also fast enough to pull off his ninja afterimage bullshit so that's a thing. In it's dormant state, his uniform increases his physical aptitudes to a limited extent, but it's hard to define. At the very least he'd be strong enough to break stone with his bare hands, durable enough to completely tank attacks from someone of one star level strength without flinching(with one stars being far above regular humans in strength.) When transformed, in terms of physical strength, Sanageyama is capable of some pretty crazy stuff, but in order to fully define it, we need to take a look at some feats of other characters first. Ryuuko blocking a sword slash from Satsuki. Satsuki knocking Ryuuko through that wall. The force of one of Ryuko's(dodged) attacks. Swords clashing. 1 2 The force of Ryuko's punch hitting Satsuki. Later, during the rematch with Ryuko, Sanageyama does a good job of overpowering Ryuuko 1 and she sinks into the ground 2. He then launches her into the sky 1 2 (Ryuuko's POV at the peak of her ascent) 3(that's her falling). And the result of her hitting the ground is...1 2 3 Also of note is the fact that as a young teenager, Satsuki was capable of shattering metal with her sheathed weapon 1, and Sanageyama claims that he has surpassed how powerful she was at that age. In terms of speed, he's possibly the fastest character the show has. Ryuuko going full speed When she goes full speed against Sanageyama, he easily keeps up with her. 1 2 He's even so fast he's capable of creating afterimages that look and feel completely real to his opponent. 1 2 3a 3b, not to mention his attack speed. 4 (Note that in the gif above, Inumata is cloaking all but one of Sanageyama's afterimages to make it appear as if he's so fast he can't be seen. However, the speed at which all of the Shinai are attacking is how fast Sanageyama himself can attack.)
