Akudama Drive Verse Creation?

[Jinx666]

Heyo

Anyone watched Akudama Drive? (2023)
Its a 12-episode short anime with a ton of decently scaled feats from Too Kyo Games

Im interested in making profiles for it, but i reckon I'd need solid calcs and wanted to see if there was anyone ever potentially also interested in the verse to help discuss things over? (Feel free to necro, id revisit this series easily)

 

[Queen_Dasania]

Been watching this. It’s a pretty strong verse. I’m on episode 9. I’ll finish it soon here and give you my full rundown

But easily at least small building level for most characters off visuals alone

Speed based off some bullets feats is at least supersonic, but sometimes our moods quick calcs get me to potentially high hypersonic. That’s all I have so far

I’d say like peak human for lifting. Nothing crazy in that area

 

[Queen_Dasania]

Finished! In the final episode, Courier survives a huge explosion. He dies later, but survives long enough to send some shots at the one ship. I don’t think we have enough reference to calculate this, but Large Building level seems fair

Especially because of Brawler and Master’s battle being as destructive as we’ve seen

So yeah, Large Building level, peak human lifting (for the strongest characters), and speed is probably high hypersonic for at least combat and reactions. I’d limit travel speed to subsonic. I’ll do a calculation for the high hypersonic combat speed later

 

[Queen_Dasania]

Actually, with travel speed, you have courier outpacing missiles and jets with his bike. So I’d say that’s a pretty clear supersonic rating right there. But for running speed, I’d limit it to subsonic. Simply because people don’t seem that fast, but you have even Swindler zipping across the room in a single frame like in that one scene

 

[Jinx666]

Ayyy Common Dasania W

Yeah theres a lot of calcs possible for them, the characters will be cool af to profile too

 

[Queen_Dasania]

Absolutely! It was an awesome anime. And I got the bullet calc done. It’s High Hypersonic+, unless any adjustments are needed or anything. We can wait for that to decided

There’s a faster feat where the Master throws a knife faster, actually. But it looks hard to calculate. So when we make profiles eventually, we can just put “at least High Hypersonic+”

Also, for lifting strength, we might out a “superhuman” onto at least Brawler since he can jump onto a helicopter. It’s just hard to calculate exactly

 

[Jinx666]

Oh yeah definitely Superhuman. Lifting Strength is definitely less crucial than AP Speed too ofc.

I reckoned they were at least Large Building minimum given Brawler and Master's fight took out buildings but obv calcs are better
(Also unrelated but im working on Yuma's profile for Rain Code now)

Ooh cool! And yeah, I’d say Large Building level works. I would do calcs, but they almost look more like more of a pain to do than they’re worth for pretty textbook large building level feats

 

[Jinx666]

True though i think its required nowadays to have a calc that puts you in Tier 8 levels of power. Thats at least what ive been told prior so its always worth it

Oh huh. If that’s the case, I might try later. I think either one of the skyscraper collapses, or the big explosion may be the ones to go for then

 

[Jinx666]

True
Courier's whole rail gun bike calcs will probs yield higher too but idk who would scale to those

 

[Queen_Dasania]

True
Courier's whole rail gun bike calcs will probs yield higher too but idk who would scale to those

I’d say it’s probably around building level, from what we see. So about the same as what we see from the characters

 

[Queen_Dasania]

This is probably the best feat. This appears to be at least large building level. Just a couple problems. There’s very little reference to calculate this. And also, he does technically die later, likely from a mixture of this and other stuff. So if the characters scale to it, they barely scale

The rail gun has a couple things. Liquifies a door, which should be like building level. It also takes down a building, although in a fashion that’s fairly debatable. As you said though, we don’t really know who all scales to the rail gun


Also, him ripping off the shrine gates is definitely superhuman strength. We just don’t know how they’re put together, so we don’t really know how superhuman

We know that Hacker’s weapons are at least small building level, since he said they can vaporize humans. And we have enough examples of them surviving explosions that break through floors and stuff, and brawler being hit through metal walls, that I think everyone can be considered at least small building level

Brawler says he can knock a train off its tracks. That could be considered building level, except that it’s just a statement, and we don’t really know how he can do it


Do you remember other instances of them destroying a skyscraper in a fight? I remember the one where courier destroyed the top of it, then the rest crumpled. But no one attack did that, it seemed more like a chain reaction

This verse seems fairly tricky to scale, actually. Just not lots of reference for feats

 

[Queen_Dasania]

Actually, you know what? I can calculate a very strong low ball for the Courier explosion calc. Let me do that

 

[Queen_Dasania]

Adjusting the speed calc, waiting for evaluation on my fix. But it should be evaluated soon. Waiting on evaluation for Courier’s explosion

In the meantime, for intelligence: Master feels like an easy Gifted: High Ranking Executioner that was issued an apprentice. Is good at fighting multiple opponents, is good at tracking people

Brawler: Average. Can fight, but Master even says it’s mostly strength. He has no subtly, and just wants to fight. That being said, he was at least smart enough to think to take out the pillars when breaking into Shinkansen

Courier: Gifted. Can track people down easily. Always gets his jobs done. Can help break into Shinkansen

Apprentice: Gifted. Also a good fighter, can track them down. Just isn’t as good as Master

Hacker: Genius. Can hack into almost anything. Even hacked his collar. Sees hacking into difficult stuff as just another challenge

Doctor: Genius. Knows the body like the back of her hand. Can heal almost anything, even on herself. Was able to study and understand Brother and Sister’s healing ability. Is very cold and calculated. Only beaten by an unexpected event out of her control and being too cocky. Was described by Kodaka as the cleverest of them all

Cutthroat: Above Average. He’s mentally unstable, but shows many times to be dangerous. he can kill well, to the point where brother wanted to recruit him

Boss: Gifted. As the boss, she should be pretty smart

Junior: Above Average. He made it onto the Executioner team somehow. But he’s super new and doesn’t do much

Swindler: Above Average. Can make up a lie on the spot. Can outsmart Cutthroat in order to beat him when way outmatched. She fought off several guys. She helped Sister and Brother escape

Hoodlum: Average. A cowardly, petty criminal. Used pretty easily. But can also lie, just not as convincingly as Swindler. He was smart enough to use the distraction to kill Doctor

Brother: Gifted. Was smart enough to get all the Akudama to help him escape

Sister: Average. I don’t think we see enough from her intelligence wise. She’s clearly still learning about the world

 

[Jinx666]

Yeah this is all making sense, once theres some calc backing profiles can be made

Theres also a manga that sort of expands on aspects of the story? (Like giving characters some backstory) but once we get there i can try and see if we can include anything like that

We have an approved High Hypersonic+ calc. And if you read the manga, and find anything, lmk! I still have the explosion calc, which is actually City Block level. We just need evaluation

 

[Jinx666]

Ayyy tysm

Once we got an AP scale calc we can use for the general cast ofg high-tiered Akudama i can make profiles

 

[Queen_Dasania]

Alright, all calcs good! Speed for the verse is subsonic travel speed, supersonic for Courier’s bike. High Hypersonic+ travel speed for whole verse

At most Building level for the whole cast. City Block level for Courier’s rail gun

Average Human to Superhuman lifting strength. Should be fairly obvious who gets which ratings

 

[Jinx666]

Ayyy peak thank you so much! I'll probably start with Brawler

 

[Queen_Dasania]

Ayyy peak thank you so much! I'll probably start with Brawler

Ofc! And cool! I think that’s a good place to start. All the calcs are on my page. Lmk if you need help finding anything though

 

[Jinx666]

Nice. I might rewatch and also make a Verse page to note down all these calcs.

If i rewatch and see any other potential calc options i can let you know? There are some more bullet timing feats iirc, and theres Brawler lifting those stone pillars. They also survive that blimp crashing into a building if thats doable (though i doubt they felt the full brunt of it)

I’d say the blimp crash isn’t really usable for the reason you said. But the stone pillars is a maybe. And the bullet feat I used was definitely the most blatant and easy to calculate. But yeah, if you find any others, lmk

Wait can you link where the subsonic, supersonic and City Block level feats come from?

The calc for Couriers explosion is saying building level

The subsonic isn’t a calc, but there was one specific episode where Swindler was darting across the room in a single frame. And that’s definitely subsonic. Admittedly, I did forget the episode. But I’m pretty sure it happened in the same one where brawler lifted the beams

Supersonic for the bike comes from it outrunning missiles, and chasing down a jet

The City Block level calc is from the Building level one. I’ll edit the calc to make it more obvious. But the Rail gun scales to the full power of the explosion, while Courier just scales to the part of the explosion he endured

 

[Jinx666]

Ah i see, ty for clarifying!
Yeah i can look for those in an episode rewatch. Missile stuff is legit but I doubt the buke is slower in travel speed to the general characters tbh. Its enough to make the verse now though
