It's not clear whether he's really that spry, or if he's using his telepathy to make Ouka think he's Tigger.
This is a reason I love you. Not the only one, just one of them.
More seriously: The only sane way, I think, to deal with Crawford's powers is to see them as somewhat inconsistent. Nagi's powers, frex, seem to have a 'self-protect at all costs' aspect built in that Crawford clearly lacks (unless, as you suggest, it's a Manx thing). He seems to be really confident, and right, when he is sure (even though it's in Gluehen, I'll point to how sure he was that Nagi's coming to the party).
I love how hard we work to find internal logic in this.
I actually have a theory (bunnies, natch) but since it's the premise for my Kreuzmas story I'm keeping it a secret for now. But you're right, Crawford's powers (and Schuldig's for that matter), are really inconsistent.
This is awesome. I always get dizzy with the lunacy of it all when I try to sort canon into some kind of logic!
Episode 12; that the Takatori-golf-club beating happens at all will always baffle me. I went back and looked at it frame-by-frame (for screencapping) once, and Crawford's expression is nothing but hella pissed when he does finally intercede. But perhaps my logic has no place here, LOL.
Episode 18; I will never not chuckle at that weird-ass ending, when Crawford and Schuldig are driving Farfarello home, and telling him what a brave guy he is, and how "not just anybody" could have survived that.
Reading all your awesome notes, I am so in love all over again with the way fandom has woven all this WK madness into various plausible scenarios. ♥
Re: #12: Someone, it may have been viridian5, speculated that the beating wasn't as bad as it looked and Schuldig was basically manipulating TAKATORI into thinking he'd beating them both to a pulp. IIRC they both seemed significantly better than mostly dead afterward, so. IDK, IDK.
Oh dude, let's hope so. Cuz there were multiple golf club strikes to the skull in that scene, and that's not good for anybody, Schwarz or not!
(Really, we could just chalk it up to anime violence, in which a fatal beating is survivable. Because the facial bruising Schuldig had in the next scene would've meant he took a golf club to the FACE, which is surely not a delicate-bruise-type injury...)

I only have this one. On the upside it works for cooking posts too.

Ep 12: this is one of those scenes where I pull my hair out, because goddamn, Crawford, way to not see the near death of half your team coming.
Ep 18: Of all the characters in Schwarz, they give a full backstory episode to the one guy who didn't really have characterization. >.
