I suppose he's sensing Ryouga and Ryu... but which technique is it that
he doesn't know?
Right at that point in time, I would think that the only technique he
would sense would be Ryouga's perfect hishi houko-dan, which I don't
think should be unknown... it's not a new technique [IIRC, Ryouga was
given a scroll by an old miner; it was invented to get out of cave-ins,
or somesuch].
I could understand Herb *not* recognizing the umisenken or yamasenken,
since they were invented by Genma, but Ryu's mostly running at that
instant of time, not using them, so how would Herb sense them?
Keeping in mind that the column of dust was Ryu using the
Yamasen-ken, that's what he felt. Sometimes event scenes like this run
partially parallel to one another, meaning that parts of this scene are
happening at the same time as a scene elsewhere. So Herb doesn't know
the Yamasen-ken. That's all. :)
Thanks for taking the time to e-mail about it, and not the
Kiyone/Mihoshi thing.
