I am making this thread mainly due to many calculations that seem really bad to my understanding and should be removed or revised. I will be going from lower to higher. I will only discuss the feats that seem weird or unreliable. I
have just finished reading Lookism, so I might not be fully accurate.
First one
1).
Johan kicks Zack
This one assumes the shape to be a hemisphere. Hemisphere is a special case where a sphere is cut in half. There is no evidence to prove this is a hemisphere and I disagree with the chest thickness aswell. Using a spherical cap is much better then hemisphere.
2).
Logan punches Alexander hwang
Unlike the calc above, where chest thickness might be debatable, this is completely wrong. Alexander Hwang hits the wall face-first. I don’t know how this was even used here.
3).
Warren attacks a gen 0 fighter
Same as the above reason. There isn't evidence to show that the gen 0 guy was completely in the crater. Crashing into a wall really doesn't give the justification for using chest thickness. The main reason I am trying to remove/ revise these old calculations is because I am seeing some influences on the newer ones which use chest thickness to get higher volumes then it should.
4).
Hudson pieces a rock (same as 1)
Moving on to 9-A calculations.
5).
Jaegyeon Na creates a Crater
I don't have much against this other then the material that is being used here. I really don't believe we should use concrete for every type of material that we see. If a material completely dwarfs another in quantity then sure we can use the material that is more in quantity but there is no other visible material asides from brick of course.
Here is an actual brick road in real life and this is really close to the material we see in the calculation itself. I have no other problem with this calculation.
6).
Jaegyeon makes huge hole in wall
This calculation uses a smaller reference object when little Daniel is standing on his full height. I don't understand how this even got accepted in the first place. If there is something I missed here then you can remind me.
Finally we are at 9-A + calculations
7).
Jinyoung park creates crater
The main problem with this calc is that the depth is 1.8 meters. That is a lot in comparison, considering Jinyoung, the one who did it, is also 1.8 meters tall. I am not just trying to revise it because 1.8 meters is too much, but also because there are some panels afterward that suggest this crater might actually just be another basement hulk.
To prove this is really inconsistent I have some examples like
this one. I have drawn a red boundary around the destroy area of the road. This is definitely not looking like a 1.8 meter deep and 10 meter long crater. I directly asked viott about this issue in the blog itself but he disregarded it as just special effects which is extremely wrong. We can clearly see that outside the red boundary there is no sign of destruction that indicates a 10 meter long crater.
Another one is
here. From this example alone, the 1.8-meter crater argument should be dismissed entirely. There is no other destruction caused by Kitae or Jinyoung that would support this interpretation being inaccurate that we could say that the crater is not the same one.
To better understand this claim, reading Chapter 601 is highly recommended. The edge of Jinyoung's crater in this panel completely undermines the idea of the crater having a depth of 1.8 meters, making it look unrealistic.
Another point to add is that if the crater were truly 1.8 meters deep, then Jinyoung running straight toward Kitae, who was technically outside the crater , should have faced a physical barrier in front of him. Jinyoung was supposedly inside a crater nearly as deep as his own height, yet he managed to pass through it without issue somehow?
I will provide more evidence
here
8).
Johan is opening a big crater
This will be the final calculation that I will cover in this thread. I am fine with everything else that this calc has to offer aside from the usage of pulverization. This is serve problem as compressing a wall is usually what pulverization stands for but it doesn't mean every type of compression feat you see has to use pulverization. The main issue with this not being counted as pulverization is because it should be way more smoother. The wall itself seems to be on the very verge of breaking apart into many pieces.
This calc shows how pulverization was rejected and used fragmentation instead for the reasons dmua explained and this is not actually from lookism rather killer peter ( I know that this is another verse but I think I am allowed to use examples)
Dmua rejected the first calculation due to the same reason. I would like to add some of my own thoughts before I give a good example of pulverization. The wall itself looks as if johan had applied more power behind the kick even a little it would all fall apart. I don't get why we using pulverization for this feat? Compression alone is not enough to justify that this is pulverization. It clearly has spider web like cracks on it that shows that the material definitely didn't turn into dust. What I actually learned what pulverization means is when you turn something into powder/dust. Same cannot be said for this feat.
Talking about the good example which is
James lee is slammed into the ground . Lucky for me this calculation was evaluated by dmua whose words I have been using all this time. Dmua has accepted this calc but rejected the above mentioned one. The reason being even if the crater is compressed, it is clearly cracked into huge pieces that are about to / on the verge of falling. I would disagree with the usage of pulverization in this calculation and instead promote fragmentation here.
That is it for this thread and if you don't want to read for the 9-B calcs, you are free to look into 9-A and 9-A+ calculations.
Lookism is inconsistent with its art style. Even if you're wrong about this topic, that doesn't mean you're dumb.
