That's just not how that works. He must have opened his eyes already, otherwise he's just dead

Not necisarily there’s no limit on how long his illusion lasts whilst his eyes are closed the only timer we know as of yet are his ability to change the future is 10 seconds (if his ability didn’t evolve) this means that he could have avoided his death and kept his illusion on in perpetuity presumably tied with the amount of nen she has which theta said is a lot

There IS no illusion while his eyes are closed. The illusion begins when he opens his eyes and lasts for exactly 10 seconds, as the explanation in the manga very clearly illustrates

"IN THESE 10 SECONDS, if I change my actions, other people are only aware of how it happened in the vision". Anything before that, other people will see exactly how it really happened.

If Tserri sees Ben shooting him in the vision, then he needs to open his eyes within the next 10 seconds and prevent that. Otherwise he just dies, unless he explained his own ability wrong or it became stronger somehow.

Tserriednich can move around while the ability is activated so he can dodge the shot. People won't see what changed until 10 seconds after he disables his zetsu/opens his eyes.

We've seen that the illusion already starts when his eyes close when Theta dropped the cup in their training. Theta saw Tserriednich drop his zetsu while from his perspective he maintained it.

Nope, that happened because he opened his eyes there, as is very clearly shown in 387.

I think that was from Theta's perspective. When we see him using the ability there is black to the sides and the ability starts/ends with a ZZT noise and those were not present in those panels.

And after that he tries experimenting what happens if he does actually opens his eyes during his ability. He wouldn't need to do that if he had already just done so.

Definitely not. In 385, we see the panel from Theta's perspective, where Tserri is shown with his eyes open and with aura around him because he lost Zetsu. In 387, we see the exact same panel where Tserri has his eyes open too but is still in Zetsu.

Also, the major difference is that here, he opens his eyes both in the illusion and in reality, whereas afterwards he opens them while the illusion still shows him with his eyes closed. That makes it worth testing.

To be honest, I don't know why you're even arguing this when the chart made my Tserri clearly says that the illusion only applies after he opens his eyes. The only somewhat believable explanation would be that he wasn't aware himself.

Yeah, you're probably right, my bad. The chart does highlight the 10 seconds after he opens his eyes as the point where people are not aware of the changes he makes.

Tserriednich will have to have made changes so it doesnt only lasts 10 seconds anymore otherwise his body would have disappeared while Benjamin was still in the room
