Should also do that for Dante performing similar feats against the bounty hunters

I feel like that is going to yeild less since Rabbit is much closer to them, unless you want to do a "Pre DT" and "Post DT", which I don't know if we should, unlike the normal series we don't know if obtaining DT does anything to someone's base form
 
Nothing really indicates he got stronger when he got the DT in his base form

The steel beam might be kinda useless considering Dante is shown clashing and holding his own against the Mutated White Rabbit who has some feats that eyeballing look like Class K to M

I think it's still worth calculating it since Deku from MHA caught a steel beam and it's Class K. Could be similar if not higher result, and used as extra consistency evidence in case there's more Class K or M calcs.

Given DT Dante did better to Agni and Rudra, let alone Mutated White Rabbit i say it turns the tables in a fight, although its unclear obviously how much it gives of a difference in stats besides being outmatched to matching/outperforming them

I think it does. It was implied against the blue wind demon that after exiting Devil Trigger Dante grew stronger and broke free from his grip. How good the AD he has and if it's worth showing as stat ratings, I don't know, but it's definitely there IMO.

Why wouldnt he scale to WR?

Rabbit seems to blitz him in episode 7, though once again, it is just an argument one can make since Dante was having trouble breathing there, although it didn't seem to affect him that much against Cavaliere

(If it wasn't clear I am gonna calc Dante blitzing the Mercs in episode 2 now)

Dont think thats enough to say he is weaker then him from a single encounter, especially how he performed vs his mutated form

It didn't affect him against Cavaliere as much because he was holding his breath.
 
The 8-B feat still uses the other formula (I got 0.48 Tons using the other formula + the pressure vallue I think it fits) and Lady's High 8-C still uses the horizontal panel height instead of the vertical one (I got 0.32 tons using the vertical one, but I used the same images that person used so there might be some error), so I'll see if Dante tanking the RPG gives anything above that, I don't think it will, but worth seeing it

Edit: But first, Valorant

Whats the other formula other than air burst formula?

The "W = R^3*((27136*P+8649)^(1/2)/13568-93/13568)^2". TBH I don't really know if it fits, but I also don't know why the other formula is used for Shockwaves and explosions

About the last part, so did I, until someone said I should use Horizontal panel line a looooooong time ago
 
I don't know if I'll put the RPG explosion in a calc blog, roughly seeing it here its only 0.007 Tons at most, and I feel like we have more impressive stuff, can't even be used to say he massively scales above it because Lady's durability would mean he wouldn't feelt this anyway
 
Having seen the anime and multiple opinions, I think it's time to give mine in the form of the positives and the negatives.


Positives
  • White Rabbit and Episode 6
  • Enjoyable (It serves its purpose as an entertaining series)
  • Designs (Except for Agni & Rudra)
  • Fights (3D CGI doesn't seem as bad as people make you think. Sure it can look weird when the characters are standing still, but I found myself enjoying the fights and the choreography)
  • Characters (I really liked the dialogue between them and their interactions were often fun to see. I always liked comic-reliefs so I felt Enzo was really cool here)

Negatives
  • Nerfed Dante (In the first chapter he gets stunned by a woman that hits him with a PURSE. His strength is extremely throughout the episodes with no reason)
  • Sci-Fi Approach (They tried explaining magic stuff like the parallel dimensions with quantum stuff, and Plasma even says that his shapeshift powers work via quantum mirroring. IMO the magic, fantasy and mystery elements in DMC gave it a different 'atmosphere' so to speak, like in the first game. I could go on a tangent on why DMC 1 is the game with the best atmosphere in the franchise cuz of its RE roots, but I'd be getting off-topic. Just know that this anime threw it all away)
  • USA Stereotypes and Muslim Demons (No, Adi, I don't want allegories to human wars in a series about demons)
  • Weird CGI at times (I HATE HOW AGNI & RUDRA LOOK BRO I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE)
  • El Donte!Lady (Although I didn't suffer much of her swearing due to the Spanish Dub, this season felt more centered around her than Dante's. I think a better balance and less buffing would've made what they were trying to get to better - which is to make Lady feel nuanced and give her what she deserved in DMC 3 Manga Code 3)

Neutrals
  • Dante's Heritage (I don't really mind that Dante doesn't know much about his heritage, it makes for a cool character arc for introspection which then leads to the rejection of his demonic side like in canon)
  • Contradictory with OG Lore (It's a non-canonical alternate timeline, we gotta analyze its individual merits - which aren't many)


If I had to give a rating based on these, I'd definitely say it stands on a 6/10, maybe a 6.5/10. There are things that could've been handled better or closer to what the original series did. Nevertheless, I will still watch the second season once it releases.

Would you have preferred the Netflix anime had been a continuation of DmC (2013 Reboot) (I guess going into the angelic stuff) with obviously a different writer other than Adi?

I haven't played DmC so I can't give you an answer to that. I dunno what the hate is all about for the Reboot tho.
 
Just finished watching the show and tbh my honest opinion is WTF!?!

I don't even know if I enjoyed the show or not, though I could've gone without zealot imperialist christian Murcia bad political commentary that was as subtle as the nuke they used in the DW (like any other modern global power was/is morally better). Tho the Capcom references where welcome plus having a John Constantine parody was pretty neat too.

The art style was good but the cgi was meh, the voicing acting was decent but the intro was terrible (the only thing that was rolling is my eyes), episode 6 was legitimately top notch with the contrasting artstyles/animation with the HW and DW but the ending of episode 8 was peak Netflix "creative cringe message" that South Park often rips on.

I'm legitimately conflicted on this show aside from well WTF!?! DID I JUST WATCH!? Also the powerscaling is just awful. Dante consistently showing superhuman speed and senses while still getting tagged by fodder demons as well as humans is just PIS for the sake of PIS, a child human version of the White Rabbit was able to survive the DW long enough to get saved while being chased by a demon and breathing in toxic air yet a hybrid adult hunter/fighter Dante can't last a couple seconds in the DW without getting nerfed by the same toxic air and don't get me started on Lady repeatedly being a "girl boss" (At least the games explain she's able to keep up with low end demons who are still a danger to lots of humans via her mystical lineage and her own demonic weaponry), btw I chuckled a little when the big, strong muscular short haired woman was actually in a hetero relationship with her male DARKCOM team-mate, "subverting expectations" amirite?).

Overall this show is a mess, I can see normies and casuals eating it up but die hard fans of DMC or the genre in general are gonna be polarized (at best). 5/10 show for me, seems fair considering what I've commented above plus I don't even know if I want a S2 but one thing I do agree with, this wasn't worth seven years of waiting.

My take.

Just finished the show, and I have one ginormous question:

Why was Lady written by Vivziepop?
Click to expand...
That's foul... true tho!
 
With all this science stuff being thrown around I'm predicting they'll drop the concept of alternate realities/Multiverse next season.

You're absolutely right.
You'd think seven years would give them time not only to form a good interpretation of the story, but to get top notch animation for the fights - which mind you are a core aspect of what DMC is.

Seven years and we got muslim demons
Seven years and we got Vice-President Biden
Seven years and we got PIS Bargain Sale
Seven years and we got Fraud Dante
Seven years and Adi couldn't make a good show, just a decent one at best.

Thats just for comedic relief, its no different from Bulma slapping Beerus over the head and it hurts despite how overwhelmingly powerful he is over her, why you even took it seriously
 
I now want fanart of Dante going full on drill sergeant mode on Shante, while Shante does high rep push up, Dante tells him he's still way too weak and need to do 4 more sets.

I took it seriously because that's how Plasma got away to live for like 5 episodes more and got to do more stuff instead of them having an intelligent and logical way of explaining how he got away while still being funny (maybe Dante got distracted by a pizza discount or something idfk)
 
Outside of Dante throwing that Steel Beam, anything else I haven't calced yet? Don't fully remember everything unfortunately

Honestly I didn't even read the full thing your posted... but if that's really the problem one has about the scalling within the show... I don't know what to tell you man, it wasn't meant to be serious and I feel like one is creating a problem for themselves if one takes issue on that scene because of that '-'

It's not the only problem, it was just one of the examples I could think off of my head.
And if it's funny it's still kinda a kick to the balls cuz they could've executed the joke in another smarter way.
