[fast but not fast enough. sousei's strike meets air, with that wrist having been pulled back. kratos anticipated that someone like sousei wouldn't fall for so obvious a move. factor in that his own speed is nothing to laugh at and it leads to being well prepared for the strike.
in addition to wrist pulling back, his whole body arches backward to add more momentum to the next move, namely a single-handed upward thrust aimed at sousei's throat. were it a lesser opponent, the attack would be aimed at a shoulder instead, but something of this nature ought to be well within the other man's capabilities.
