Gojo Earthquake calc

Just checked up on Gojo's currently used Earthquake calc and I noticed there's a bunch of issues with it.



Source 1

Firstly, this linked source isn't even about the deepest point in the Japan Trench, it's about the deepest living community of sea creatures they discovered in the northern part of the Japan Trench
The deepest chemosynthesis-based community yet discovered from the hadal Zone, 7326 m deep, in the Japan Trench

Even worse is this statement in it:
A sea floor survey near the bottom of the northern Japan Trench was conducted on August 5, 1998, using the ROV 'Kaiko' of the Japan Marine Scienceand Technology Center. The dive site was located at 40" 02.85' N latitude, 144" 16.50' E longitude, and the bottom depth ranged from 7300 to 7330 m (Fig. 1)
The maximum depth of the Japan Trench is 8046 meters, so that figure is a whole 716 meters away, the sea floor survey was conducted in 1998 so it's likely outdated since it's been more than 2 decades. Furthermore, it says it's talking about the northern part of the Japan Trench so it might not even be looking at the Japan Trench as a whole.



Source 2

The oceanographer in me is offended that this is even being used as a valid source. The Japan Trench has a maximum depth of 8046 meters, even if sources might vary they are always close/round to 8000 meters and nowhere near 9000 let alone 9504 meters. This sketchy website doesn't even list any sources like oceanographer journals, JAMSTEC, NOAA or GEBCO to verify its data plus Kenjaku literally tells us the deepest area of the Japan Trench where he put the Prison Realm is 8000 meters deep, throw this out.

It's even worse when you take a look at the listed coordinates the calc takes from this source (40.12°N, 144.32°E) and cross reference them with the GMRT Map Tool, we get a depth of 7546 meters




A Magnitude 9.2 quake is actually ridiculous, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was Magnitude 9.0 and the radiated waves released were equivalent to 1.9×10^17 Joules which is x21.3 weaker than the 4.04×10^18 Joules currently accepted for Gojo's quake but they still had devastating effects (not including the tsunami since that's formed from actual tectonic plates shifting, we're only working with the radiated waves specifically here) on places like Sendai in the Miyagi Prefecture which is literally where Gege was raised, the dude isn't ignorant about this hell, he was probably there when it happened since he would've been 19 then. According to the calc, places in Northern Honshu like Miyako 208 km away would be experiencing JMA 6+ levels of intensity so that's a chunk of Northern Honshu Gojo is causing widespread urban and environmental destruction in.

What's more is that we actually do get to see the Iwate Prefecture which is in Northern Honshu when we see Kenjaku's activities during the Shinjuku Showdown Arc in the Lake Gosho Colony. In fact, I've found the exact location Kenjaku meets Takaba and measured the distance from Gojo's quake in the calc to be 287 km. This place and all of the Lake Gosho Colony is surprisingly intact, just take a look, Gege even gives us a shot of the nearby Morioka (273 km away from Gojo) which is perfectly spotless despite seemingly facing JMA 6- level intensity from Gojo. This is what JMA 6- entails btw:

Standing is difficult.Most furniture moves or tips; doors may jam.Wall tiles and windows sustain damage and may fall.For less resistant houses, walls crack more often; houses may lean or collapse. Small cracks may form in walls of more resistant houses.For less resistant buildings, cracks occur more often; X-shaped cracks may develop. Cracks may appear in structural elements of more resistant buildings.Gas pipes and/or water mains are damaged. Gas, water and electricity services are disrupted.Cracks appear. Landslides and terrain shifts are likely.

And yet the Lake Gosho Colony is perfectly intact and Japanese society outside of the area of Tokyo that fell to Kenjaku's jujutsu terrorism or Sukuna recovers pretty easily not even 2 months later.



Kiroko Mine Location​

There isn't a "Kiroko Mine" location that officially exists where mining operations are taking place, I'm not sure where they got the location from it since the coordinates don't even resemble the quarry area where the main cast unsealed Gojo although there is another spot nearby that actually resembles the quarry.

Totally agree
 
Yeah, those sources used in the 7-A calc are just a massive yikes man. Clear agree with the downgrade and the ”argument from incredulity” isn’t actually one at all, it’s one of the few instances where the AP has to match the DC because of how earthquakes work and you illustrated how the calc fails to do so perfectly

I keep telling yall, push for 5-B JJK

I mean yeah, if the main cast was 633 km away from Gojo and they're experiencing Magnitude 5 shaking then everything in between them and Gojo should be thrown on it's head but the Iwate Prefecture is basically untouched and it's not like Gege doesn't know what happens during an earthquake, his hometown literally got shredded in the 2011 Tohoku quake

I mean yeah, you said that essentially in the OP already. Earthquake magnitudes are literally inferred from their shown or implied DC which is why I said for this specific type of feat, AP has to match DC here. The calc fails to do so for mag 9.2 in this regard (which idk why that was used)😭
 
tbh yall should just stick with the black hole calc tbh, relying on an offscreen feat with near to no clear proof at all ain't getting anywhere, especially when it's applied on Gojo's physicals instead of Red.

That feat is in debate right now as well and for now this is accepted for some reason as being Gojo's physicals so its just corrcting the previously accepted value.

As for changing whether its via physicals or red that's a topic for another thread since this one right now is just correcting the value itself
 
Tf is the JJK google earth project?

Anyway most of the quibbles here seem fair? I did kinda think at the time opponents were more or less stonewalling/gish galloping the stronger black hole feat and not engaging with the earthquake feat to satisfy supporters cause it would be easier to take down later but who cares, I’m not really a wiki fella.
