Afro Samurai Revision

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

This is my proposal for Afro Samurai revisions

Attack Potency: Building level (able to defeat Jinno who was able to harm him)

Speed: Sub Relatvistic to Relatvistic combat/reaction speeds (was able to deflect a beam of light )

Durability: Building level (was able to survive despite being blown up by multiple projectiles , with one of them being able to do this much damage . This is the aftermath )

 

[SomebodyData]

Hmmm, seems pretty legitimate

 

[Gwynbleiddd]

I guess this is fine.

 

[Cropfist]

Looks alright.

 

[Grudgeman1706]

I can support this

 

[Numbersguy]

Looks ok to me, but I would be better if can calculate the speed feat so we can get the correct number

 

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

Yeah, if you could do a quick calculation I think we can get something. I suggest using angsizing on this panel. something to note is that he is closer to the wall before he intercepts it I theorize that Afro not only moved his arm to block but also moved his body foward/rose to balance himself whilst intercepting the beam.

 

[RadicalMrR]

I'm for it.

 

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

Any other thoughts?

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

The AP and Dura upgrade looks okay enough. Speed, i'd want that calc'd first to be sure but even then, Sub-Rela to Rela seems like a good enough range here but definitely want that calc'd first just to be sure...

 

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

Made a calculatio

If there are errors, I would rather much prefer the calculation team to adjust the errors and see what their revised results are rather than me redoing it a number of times.

Isn't the laser feat an absolutely immense outlier? I'm not super-knowledgeable on the series, but from what a lot of my friends who are have said he usually mostly deflects bullets and the like.

This also seems to be a one-time deal, and we can't tell if Afro intercepted it after or before it fired... there's a lot of variables here that make me really iffy on that feat.

Looks pretty solid, otherwise.

 

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

Afro Samurai is a ten chapter manga, and we see him deflect bullets with ease throughout it. The laser stuff happens towards the end of the manga so its consistent I'd say. The only anomalous thing I remember seeing was Afro getting hit by a arrow.

Read the panel, I think its pretty clear Afro intercepts the beam of light.

 

[ThePerpetual]

I did read the panel, and I interpreted it as I did. I'd rather not be dismissed like that.

 

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

We see Afro with his limbs stretched out, after we see the droid fire a beam and the following event is Afro bringing his sword towards his head where he reflects the beam of light using the width of his katana. I don't see how one can interpret it as aim dodging (is this what you mean by aiming before it's fired?)

 

[Antvasima]

I agree that we need an evaluated calculation blog for this.

Btw, keep in mind that according to the new KE rules, this may drastically improve Afro Samurai's AP.

Were there any opponents Afro Samurai took that had higher AP/Durability than building level?

No, I do not think the new KE rules apply to Afro, he doesn't have any feats higher than buliding.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Don't we normally accept anything below 4x the Newtonian value (or whatever the proper name is), which iirc is like ~0.93c?

 

[Antvasima]

As I think is mentioned within the rules, it depends on whether or not the kinetic energy would be consistent with the Afro Samurai characters' displayed Attack Potency. Fiction recurrently makes a massive distinction between speed and power.

 

[Lina_Shields]

Perhaps Afro Samurai's AP is fine then. However, I may need to take a closer look at the scans here to see if Afro really blocked the beam...

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

Can't you use clips from the anime?
