I didn't argue on the speed part again, so i agree with you.

What i am trying to say is that Nero cannot react to a surprise attack from a person that can completely mask their presence. I mean, Esdeath herself couldn't detect her when she was behind her.

Also, Nero's ability to manipulate blood was only shown with him reattaching his limbs and stop the bleeding, but once Murasame strikes and leaves the slightest scar, the curse becomes inside the body.

Cosmina, who held the Philosipher Stone to counter Murasame's curse, was implied to bevable to control her blood even without the Philosipher Stone, and Dorothea stated that the Philosipher Stone was the only thing required to protect Cosmina from Murasame's curse, which means that Cosmina would have been dead without the Philosipher Stone, so even if we said that Nero can control his own blood, this wouldn't save him.

In addition to all of this, an important point i forgot to mention. The ability to control his blood only applies to poison, while Murasame is no poison, it's a curse, curse manipulation which causes a one hit kill death manipulation, so it's more supernatural rather than natural as it's a curse, not a poison. It only has to make contact with the target and leave the slightest scar, and it's over. It doesn't need to draw blood. Only a scar, that's all.

And your gonna say: "Esdeath had to cut her arm to survive the curse, so that means it travel through the blood". My answer is no, as if this was the case, the curse would have affected Esdeath the moment she was cut since it would instantly travel through her blood, but when Esdeath stopped time and cut off her arm, she was completely fine. She was even stated that she cheated death with that method, which indicates that Murasame's curse does not travel through blood. It just has to make contact with the skin and make the slightest cut. Akame herself stated that she should be careful when she is cleaning Murasame, as she could cut herself with it, which would kill her, but she never stated thst the target has to draw blood for the curse to activate, which means that Murasame's curse travels through skin, not blood.

Esdeath herself can cover parts of her body from both inside and outside with ice, but she had to cut off her arm to save herself from Murasame's curse, and she couldn't save herself from the curse a third time due to the fact that she left herself opened.

Also, say again that Nero can manipulate his blood to stop the curse, Murasame itself can target one target at a time in multiple bodies, as it was able to target Tyrant's soul, leaving Tatsumi inside the dragon's body. So as i said, Metallica is inside Nero's bloodstream, so it connects to his blood, so if Metallica is hurt, so does Nero.
