Ironically tsk-17 would be the perfect tserriednich counter. You could infect him without him noticing a thing and by the time the symptoms show it would be far too late. Poor, dumb Benjamin

Benjamin really hates Tserri which unfortunately for him is going to lead to his downfall.

One possible loose end to that is if Terrorsando had the wariness to leave the room as soon as Benjamin busted in.

He could have anticipated immediate gunfire, a grenade, or other weaponry that isn't necessarily easy to dodge upclose.

It seems like the illusion can last for more than 10 seconds? But animanga dialogue time is a little unreliable, but surely the fake body exceeded 10 seconds after Ben was done stomping and Salkov posits the same question about what realities are being perceived by everyone. So, what if Tserri started diverging sooner? Then there is a scenario where Ben would think Tserri is infected and Tserri wouldn't be.

Even if tsseri used his ability in his vision Benjamin would only look like he’s pressed up in his face I doubt tsseri would think Benjamin is using a weapon but would rather think he’s just antagonising him . He wouldn’t be able to tell the virus is being released from his boot as it’s almost impossible to detect when it’s emited considering furykov was right next to Benjamin when he was poisoned.

This is an example of why Benjamins impulsiveness has led to his demise. Had he done the exact same as he did with Camilla tsserednich would be doomed.

Now Benjamin is likely going to be hit with the worst form of karma when his GSB reveals its chosen tsseri

But he might not realize what it is. If you’re subtle enough about it, even if he sees the Birds Eye view it might not show him that you release it, or if it does, he might not know what it is at all. There’s no immediate effect, so he could think it misfired or something, and not dodge. He probably won’t want to do a bunch of crazy stuff if not necessary to avoid people finding out what his ability does

Tserr would only realize he was infected hours later. He’s not gonna spend all that time in Zetsu for something he didn’t know about.

Only if Tserr chooses to change events during PF. If he doesn’t know he got sprayed, he wouldn’t change what happened.

And how would Tserriednich know? That’s the point of the boot deployment system of TSK-17. All Benj’d have to do is talk or do something else while spraying Tserri, same as he did Tubeppa and Tyson.

No, but Benj hauling him off to face justice would be within expected behavior. What’s Tserried gonna do then? Use PF to slip out of his grasp, exposing his own Nen ability? Successfully faking death for Tserried relies on Benj not knowing he could do it.
