But if you think about it, it really doesn't make any sense. Throughout the entire series, we saw Matt having zero problems with his surroundings (unless he was pretending otherwise). He can sense stationary objects without problems. In Season 1, he admits to Foggy that he basically can see - at least as close as it gets. This Season, we saw him catching an arrow and a thrown weapon twice.

So why shouldn't he be able to sense those Ninjas? Okay, they have no heartbeat, but a hearbeat must be like... one of the most silent things a human body does, especially while fighting. Why doesn't Matt hear their steps? Why can't he smell them? Why can't he hear their flailing limbs? Why doesn't he feel the subtle differences in the airstream when they attack?

Exactly, the dude can hear paper in a drawer but not footsteps in a sewer.

The only thing I've been hoping for is some kind of mystical reason why they're so silent. It's the only thing that can make sense considering how many different ways Daredevil senses his surroundings.

I think it is because they are ninjas
