Maybe it's because we aren't seeing it animated that it appears inhuman; while jumping around may be difficult, I don't see why one couldn't do it if they weren't strong enough.
I think, largely, what this confusion is, is like this: Cool=Inhuman; apparently if you see a character doing something cool, then it must be inhuman, which means they have to be a hybrid or something.
That's obviously laughable.
One may question why, if the ninjas are so useless if fighting, why they are even there -- perhaps they are their for the trainees, fresh from the transformation, who don't know a single thing about fighting to keep them in line -- thus, they are equiped with light non-lethal weaponry to pelt them into obedience.
The thing is, is that their is very little suggesting that the Organization has "expert military guys" on the island because the hybrids really just train themselves -- the training, from what I recall from Extra Chapter 4, is really just the Hybrids surviving on their own. Their is no one-on-one training or any such thing (that would probably be considered "excessive" or such nonsense)...they are all lumped into one group, and sent off on excersizes -- if you want to live, you better figure it out your own way, very fast. The last trial against that Yoma is essentially just that: you don't know what the heck is going on, nobody's prepared you for
anything, but their's a giant man-eating Yoma lurking around, so if you're going to survive, you'd better find a way
now. The cold cruelty of it all is extremely dog-eat-dog which has always been the way things work on the island.
That's a part of why their is such independence and isolation in the warriors, since they have been taught since day 1, not to rely on anybody -- The Organization doesn't baby them whatsoever, and the other warriors (alongside the other trauma and heart-ache they've been through) learn quickly that the person next to them may end up awakening and they'd have to kill them, so they keep to themselves and away from everybody.
At the very very most, the Organization teaches them basic techniques, but even then, the warriors do everything on their own, which is why so many warriors are so unique from eachother in terms of techniques, abilities; you think they actually spend time with the warriors, learning about them and trying to bring out their full potential?
Hell no -- even if they are prodigous warriors like Teresa, Luciella/Rafaela, Priscilla etc....the Organization has always shown a extremely strong uncaring attitude because that's just the way they are -- if somebody dies, they'll get another; if a whole generation dies, they'll get another.
Point blank, No; I could go on, but I'll just sum it up right here -- their are no highly-trained human military men on the island. That's part of what has always made the Organization so weak in that perspective, because all they had was their hybrids -- the MiB's themselves are all scientists, and essentially corporate people, who are now even cut off
from eachother, that they are splintering from the inside out. The warriors themselves are always almost entirely self-trained which is an explanation (from small to big) on several things -- for one, why they are so unique from eachother and why their is often a large "strange" gap between warriors often who aren't that far apart from eachother (the reason could be several, such as experience, potential etc...we know the Org doesn't look into or care enough about these kinds of things), and why, again, their are (partly) so distant from eachother. One (again, small) reason why the Ghosts are so close to eachother is because they can fight and spar with eachother - to them, it's like a form of social bonding; being able to fight together and help eachother raise their skills. Everyone's naturally unique in personality, but warriors still usually aren't the most vocal or happy bunch -- even the Ghosts, with all the time they spend, still have a rift between eachother in the skeletons they all keep in their closets and secrets from eachother (up-front, Miria going to the Org alone is probably the biggest we've seen) -- the affection between them is a silent one, and a small part of that probably stems from the fact they can duel with eachother and help everyone survive better.
If anything, that could, beyond the other-side having the DoD's, why they are losing -- they are simply too corporate, cold, and indepedent -- it's one thing for the leadership to be cut off from everyone below you working for you, but if the leadership even includes other members who are secretly working against eachother for their own ideals....then it's no wonder why Rubel has managed to stay hidden for so long; being a sleazy guy who's only out for himself is part of being an MiB.
Just facts. I wasn't trying to insult him/ her, simply to explain that yes I too find rafael's posts pretty hard to read/ understand "most" of the time.
