Akihiro has ran FTL in his fight against Awuilary, and it was stated that he could in the last chapter. That's why "think" he is.

He's been stabbed by a sword said to cause damage like a bullet x20, kicked hard by a guy who can crush diamond-hard Crystals with his foot, stabbed through the chest with a super sharp horn, slashed multiple times and shrugged it off, blasted through him wi a beam of plasma and survived that easy, etc. Theres more, but I'm just basing this off what I can remember right now. (And hey, I'm not saying Akihiro will win this. But its not a stomp at all.)
