I don't see any ill luck there. He beat several opponents that should have beaten him instead. The arm was the luckiest thing of all: If you lose a whole arm, you are damn lucky if the doctors just reattach it and it simply works again as if nothing happened.

I'm not really willing to even admit catching the feather with his head was bad luck. Since the feathers were falling from the sky like raindrops, it was more natural to be hit by one than not. It was simply his inexperience of battle conditions to ignore them and concentrate solely on Index.

Your slowness explanation makes no sense to me. Sure, fights are short, but I think using a vending machine takes still much shorter a time, eh?
