Attack potency questions

[JCQ220]

I wasnt sure to ask this but I decided to go ahead

So if a character has a city level attack potency ( using non physical attacks ) does theat mean the size of the attack would be city level? For example: When Naruto fought against Sasuke in their final fight, they usued their strongest attacks which had an attack potency of small planet level why didn't the world just get destroyed. Is the attack not suppose to have that level/size of destructive capacity, or does it have something to do with the plot. Same goes for other series

It's in the Attack Potency page. To save you some time:

Attack Potency
An alternative term for Destructive Capacity which has more direct meaning: The Destructive Capacity that an attack is equivalent to. A character with a certain degree of attack potency does not necessarily need to cause destructive feats on that level, but can cause damage to characters that can withstand such forces.

We are aware that this technically violates the principle of conservation of energy, as it should logically disperse upon impact, but fiction generally tends to ignore this fact, so we overlook it as well.

Also, kindly remember that Attack Potency is the measure of Destructive Capacity of an attack, and as such, is measured via its energy damage equivalent. Hence, characters that destroy mountains or islands are not automatically mountain or island level, especially if they are small. The attack potency depends upon the energy output of the attack, not the area of effect of the attack.

Okay tahnks, I feel stupid because I read the page before but I still wasn't sure
