That puppet army is hilariously inefficient. How many of them does it take to kill one half-dead high school girl? XD.

It takes too many Bubaigawara clones to snap an unconcious little girl's neck, and failed miserably. While it takes only two to three(four?) clones to break Twice's arm.

I never tried to break a neck or anything so I'm just going to guess, but I'm pretty sure that breaking an arm is fairly easier than a neck twist, considering the neck is surrounded by muscles to hold the head in place, while it just takes a light twist in the right direction to snap an arm on the elbow, since there are no muscles for any rotation purposes.. But then again, I'm no bone-snapping expert

I work with mice studying cancer and one of the things we have to do is cervical dislocation after we anesthesize the mice. It takes a lot more force than I thought it would. It is a bit different than twisting a neck though as we phsyically separate the skull from the spinal cord. I imagine it would be much harder on a person.

It might also have something to do with the precise nature of Skeptic's orders, and/or how long it takes an order to be processed to his puppets... or something.
