The seed
Sanji (Ch. 188 p. 11) articulates the Mane Mane no Mi’s timing-flaw: “…there’s a moment when you’re vulnerable — just before you attack, you always turn back into yourself… by touching your face with your left hand!” The Ch. 0156 right-hand-touch-copy / left-hand-touch-revert two-touch mechanic is now operationally exploitable as a deterministic timing-tell — every Bon-Clay-combat sequence requires the revert-window, and an observer-opponent can time their strike to it. The mechanic-flaw is now publicly canonized.
Why this matters
The Mane Mane no Mi’s deception-grammar requires the user to always revert before any combat-strike (because karate-form-only-in-original-form, see Bon Clay Karate-Form-Only-In-Original-Form Mane Mane Limitation). This means every Mane Mane combat-sequence has a left-hand-touch-revert tell — a deterministic windowing exploit.
