Beside the air pressure around the attack won’t be enough to cause any real damage. We see character avoid such attack all the time and not being send away by wind.

You can strawman the name all you want, but that doesn't change the basics: Sword Draw is a high-speed attack, it's entire goal is to hit the opponent with max speed and power.
Oh, and iaido has nothing to do with air pressure. Not sure where you pulled that one from, or why it suddenly started to matter.

It develops two characters. That's hardly pointless. Yes, it doesn't move the main plot, but every story is filled with such moments. Not every moment of character development needs to move the plot. Heck, it's impossible to do that. And again
you not caring about the characters does not make it objectively pointless.

I just mention it because I take it as Vivio using a super-move and end being: pointless. Really she could not do it at all because in the end didn’t even affect her tactic. Just a little nitpick on the matter, is not a great flaw and is sure as hell not the reason why I didn’t like the fight.

Her calling the attack "Sonic Shooter", the same name as her basic shooting attack, really should have been a clue it wasn't going to be a massive game-ending attack, really.
