While the rapid opening of the parasol is likely, it's not like Weiss will be instantly disarmed should Myrtenaster hit the open parasol. It's a parasol, not a barrier that bounces you back when you touch it.

I redirect you to your own analysis of Weiss in the post above this 1: LiveandSound wrote:

This shows inexperience, probably nervousness, and a momentary lack of intelligence caused by said nervousness. specifically directed at her normal initiation of a fight against a new opponent, by the time Weiss would realize she made a mistake she would be screwed... and Neo already saw her fight at this point.

Further, the disarm being easy for Neo is also something I am basing off of the boarbatusk fight.
