Again, why can't Goku counter Bender's own maneuvers? Both of them still have equal speed and the ability to actively fight, with Goku having superior martial arts skills. And how would he stop the sealing with Counter Shield almost constantly active and re-activated? It takes a second each time, and he typically leads with it as a part of his barrier.

How does the Reality Warping even work?

In terms of the Soul Removal. Goku could simply counter that by... not looking at the picture of Langdon Cobb...? Then again, he can't really fight blind the whole time (Bender's fighting would be sorta hindered by him holding a picture for however long he would be, but whatever), nor can Goku really anticipate it too well. Willing to bet this could screw him over, though knowledge from his info analysis would at least raise his awareness.
