Subspace.
Bang!
Shamu caught Jigen's Karma State II punch with one hand.
Jigen's eyes flew wide open!
In that instant, Shamu's kick had already struck Jigen in the chest.
The air exploded into a circular shockwave.
Like Shamu before him, Jigen was sent flying like a cannonball.

However, once a second Karma was planted, the seal would be released. The first Karma would emerge, and the second would naturally dissipate.
Jigen looked from Shamu's arm to his face. His
