Not to mention Marvel and DC, where a separate thread could be created
Many popular universes have statements or feats that contradict many consistent feats from the source material. Regardless of why the author stated Mach 10 specifically, it contradicts the prequel feats, Nagant bullets, Deku, and many other points. An exception that should be ignored.
(Actually, these low-quality "Mach 10s" aren't that bad compared to Mach 3 from Jujutsu Kaisen or 100 Tons of Punches from Makugori from One-Punch Man.)
Man, he was saving this shit since Christmas, lmao.
Anyways, for real though... let me drop my two cents again... After giving it some fair bit of thought... it's not a matter of using calcs to confirm or deny Horikoshi's statement... It's a matter of the statement fighting against canon itself.
You expect me to believe that a character who can outpaces a bullet that crosses 200km basically instantaneously can only move at
Mach 10? ****, forget power-scaling, forget statements... someone explain to me in bold letters how the man who wrote such a bullshit showcase of speed into his OWN story, somehow thinks Mach 10 is... look, aight bro, let's bury this. **** it.
Someone explain this shit.
So, right here, Deku is moving in a space where time is slowed down by a villain's Quirk. Of course, that's not enough to completely negate Deku's speed. He's just... that fast, right? But... It's not like they showed how fast... right? RIGHT?
Hahaha... well, irony is a *****.
So, the villain's Quirk can slow down time to the point that even bullets basically move at near standstill... so, nearly a thousand times slower, being conservative and safe just to entertain the level of bullshit that this Mach 10 discourse generate.
Gentlemen, I want you to do some logic here. No, not any calculations, just basic common sense...
So, compared to the distance the bullet travels under time dilation, Deku covers thousands of times more distance than what the bullet could naturally achieve under the influence of the guy's Quirk...
And if Deku is covering thousands of times more distance than what the speed of the bullet (which looks to be around an inch per second) could achieve in the same amount of time as Deku moved...
2+2=?
Like, we're not even trying to calculate it, because the villain even says directly to Deku, "how are you moving so fast?!" because he's still traveling quickly even when time is slowed down thousands of times over. The movie is saying that Deku moves THAT much faster than the bullet. The guy is comparing how objects, including bullets, are at a standstill when affected by his Quirk, while Deku isn't.
Again, two plus two equals what? Rub them brain cells together and tell me how fast that is compared to Mach 10.
...No? Okay, well, let me rub my own then. We'll retract that promise of no calcs and do a quick calc, just to connect the dots in case none of y'all couldn't.
So—
All Might's supposed top speed, which is relative to Deku, as stated by the guidebook, is 3430 m/s.
Speed of the bullet that's traveling at like an inch per second in the clip: 400 m/s (at least)
Deku crosses at least a dozen or so meters every second and is moving fast enough to blitz the villain. 10 m/s seems like a good estimate. 10 m/s means he crosses 400 inches every second... 400 times the 1 inch per second moving bullet btw.
So... nearly 460 times the speed of sound, versus... Mach 10.
lol.
LMAO EVEN
So, as per basic logic and mathematics, Deku, if he was moving at only 10 inches per second (10 times the speed of the bullet under time dilation) would mean that he's moving at a little under a foot per second. 0.8 ft/s, to be precise.
You explain the logistics of a guy getting blitzed by someone moving at literally under a ******* foot per second. I mean, that's only so much quicker than what a snail could travel at. Could a snail speed blitz a human? Would any of you be taken by surprise by someone who can't even run faster than 1 mile an hour?
Explain that... by all means, explain.
EDIT: Some might say that movie feats are exaggerated... but how much exaggerated could they be under Horikoshi's supervision, who the Vigilantes author specifically went out of his way to say is very picky regarding character capabilities and limits. I also seriously think Horikoshi would rather not overlook his own character narratively traveling that fast unless it was agreed upon.
The movies are still 100% canonical anyway. So, regardless, I call into question this "exaggeration," which is far too vague to begin with. Would it be any more exaggerated if Deku was, indeed, traveling at 10 inches per second... or are we just biased depending on how fast it portrays him?
