Puri-Puri Prisoner (OPM) vs Pride (FMA)

I used the wrong term. I meant acceleration, not velocity. And acceleration ties into force which is what I mentioned anyways.

"matter are the length of the sharp object as well as the force"

More pressure means more penetrating power.

I'm aware of that but I'm saying a normal guy could apply enough pressure to yield the same damage because the spikes are still limited by their length. A 2 inch blade is going to pierce only 2 inches because that's physically how long it is. It can change position inside the body of course but the spikey demon's spikes are attached to him so it's not going to go deeper unless the spikes physically breaks off.

We can see he's bleeding but can't see any cuts.

If he's bleeding then it logically has to have gone through. That means penetration happened, no?

Some of the spikes are almost bigger than his head in the last panel. They're not even making big scratches on his skin. They're definitely big enough to do more damage than they did.

I'm actually aware of that, but some of the spikes are also very short.

In the panel you linked the bigger spikes seem to be on the side of his body. The ones that are smaller seem to be in front and center. We don't get the clearest look because the panel I'm talking about has that "free hug" sign blocking a portion of his body, but there's no evidence that the particular spikes he was pierced with are the bigger ones.

Do you have a another panel where we see his whole body? I think it would be more conclusive like that.
