I think Lemursrule´s explanation is sound. A water-based ability would not be a good idea after the tsunami. Maybe that´s the reason why nothing really happened in this chapter, I suspect that Kubo is trying to buy himself some time to think of a new and different fullbring for Jackie. Moving fast and kicking hard are too basic to count as a special ability.
