BAN-KAI! Bleach General Discussion

Definitely not Muken Aizen. It was stated that they had no way to kill him within the Soul Society, which means not even 15 million degree flames could take him out.
that alone doesn't imply he can't get burned.
that just means he has numerous ways to circumvent burning to death
 
either way amaterasu is incredibly overrated, but u ain't hear it from me
 
Anyone wanna talk about Azashiro vs The entire edo tensei army + WM Obito and his Jins + Kabuto.

I remember me and arc once talked about this.

(Aizen > Itto Kaso from Yama > Itto Kaso from Azashiro > Trillions of C)

Holy shit. He so based for glazing Kenny What the hell was Narita smoking?

Though, I have a hard time believing that 1 Itto Kaso is 1.3 trillion C. Fake Yhwach was not able to even touch Yama's 15 million C and without Blut would have been burnt alive. And Fake Yhwach manhandled Kenpachi. Who survived a collective total of 400 trillion C according to the calc.

The logic ain't logicing.

1. Narita solely cares about wanking Kenpachi as hard as possible in the novels

2. The only thing that can be said to make it make sense is that Kenpachi just unironically has far better heat resistance feats than even Yamamoto ( stupid af )
 
To put it into perspective, Kenpachi would have tanked heat that was 26.66... million times hotter than Yamamoto's Bankai. And this would be Pre-Unohana Kenpachi.
If you want to scale that linearly with power, his eyepatch isn't restricting his heat resistance.
 
Uh, I'm 99.999% sure this isn't how we scale temperature. You're literally just getting 1 trillion C from the fact that it has megaton level AP, in which case Yama's heat would surpass a goddamn Kugelblitz given he passively evaporates an entire planet's water. On top of that, the heat radiation of an object is roughly proportional to its temperature raised to the fourth power. In other words, ten times the temperature in Kelvin means heat radiated in Watts is 10,000 times greater.

You'd also be saying Yamamoto is several orders of magnitude more powerful with some random ass forbidden Kido then with his own Bankai.

I don't see how anything here shows that the math is wrong. I simply used a formula that allows you to derive heat from the actual energy output. I don't even see how the result is that ludicrous given how the suns core (15 Million degrees) is only 8-A in terms of sheer AP.

Yamamoto is still capped at 15 million by statements. Itto Kaso vaporizes him. You can just call the water feat due to his sheer ap/reiatsu (His bankai is just his reiatsu given fire properties) if you need a rationale to make that consistent.

I don't see how your point about watts is at all relevant to anything.

Do you have an argument beyond just incredulity as to why Itto Kaso can't be above Yama's bankai in terms of heat? Not AP.
 
Heating a human being to 15 million C and reaching equilibrium is 8-A. A human being that's 15 million C and whose temperature doesn't immediately drop exponentially would output like 1 Teraton per second in an environment that isn't itself as hot as the sun's core. If the Itto Kaso lasted for like a microsecond then the feat is valid, but also immensely less impressive than withstanding such heat for extended periods of time (Real life humans can accomplish feats like running on hot coals barefoot by making sure their feet never touch the coal long enough to cause burns).

Since itto kaso spawned from his charred arm and the huge aoe it created, it can be argued that Yama tanked his own itto kaso.

And as i said, Yama's bankai heat isn't what is super scarry about it, it's the EE. So i don't see much problem with itto having superior heat specifically.

Said heat is itself derived from an AP calc, and you could get much, much higher values for Yamamoto himself using the exact same method (it being his reiatsu doesn't really change much since it still manifests as thermal energy and it still emanates from his body).

His Reiatsu other properties besides heat (in virtue of being Reiatsu). It being manifested as heat doesn't those other properties can't explain the feat. I have no reason to attribute the feat solely to heat like I can for Itto Kaso.

My interpretation is the only one presented that doesn't form an immediate contradiction with the narrative (getting it above 15 million degrees), since I'm not using solely heat to explain it.
 
I doubt that a phenomenon that was in every way depicted as a result of heat and never implied to be otherwise is somehow related to something completely different. And like I said, a human being maintaining a constant surface temperature of 15 million C would absolutely cause global effects at that scale (it wouldn't completely vaporize everything quite as quickly as presented, but it's a small enough difference to be chalked up to just being artistic license).
 
Yeah tbh Yama's heat is still more impressive because not only is it 15 million degrees, it's 15 million degrees at a constant and longer rate and also has EE

Your doubt means nothing. It's still the only logically consistent way to interpret the feat, which was my main argument.

I have no contention with the idea of a man covered in the sun sitting on the planets surface would be catastrophic. That's just trivial. I contend the idea of using the heat method for the vaporizing the water since it forms contradiction with its stated heat. I simply presented an interpretation for the feat that doesn't actually present a contradiciton. Also, if the real sun couldn't do that, why is it unreasonable to have an explanation that goes beyond heat to explain the difference?

I also doubt your intuition of it being presented purely heat. Why even include the fact it's spiritual pressure at all if they have no functional relation to normal spiritual pressure and is just natural heat? There would be no reason for that to be in the manga if that was the intent.

What part of spiritual pressure has ever been presented to vaporize shit in some way that's somehow distinct from heat? Reiatsu simply often mimics the elemental affinity of its user is all, just like how Toshiro makes shit colder with his. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to go "his reiatsu has unique properties that mimic heat, and it also has completely different unmentioned properties that do the same thing as heat but in a fundamentally different way". Does it not require far fewer assumptions to say they're one and the same?

And as for the "contradiction", that can easily be chalked up to Bleach being an action manga and not a treatise on thermodynamics. There's a whole ass trope all about how writers don't consider that shit at all when writing stuff.

Also, the heat itself is stated explicitly to be what would instantly vaporize Jugram if he wasn't using Blut Vene, so its incredible destructive power is drawn attention to at about the same time that the threat of Soul Society's destruction is. Jugram also isn't being soul crushed here either, which is worth noting.

Reiatsu is an energy, the expulsion of an energy from the body. Just because it can take on elemental properties doesn't mean it doesn't have those other properties (like sheer force). I have not used any mental gymnastics. I'm saying is that Reiatsu in any form will act like Reiatsu, and use it's inherent abilites. That's not a leap in logic, im just telling you the definition of Reiatsu and what it includes.

It doesn't matter if you can present a cope for why it exists. The fact that it exists in your interpretation means it can be rejected in favor of mine, which is internal consistent and doesn't run into these abilites. My view is inherently better because it's consistent.

How can you accuse me of mental gymnastics in the same post where you defend logical contradiction against a consistent view?

"15 Million degree ability can actually be > 1.3 Trillion degree ability" is just straightforwardly not a more reasonable conclusion to draw then "since it caps at 15 million degrees, we can look to other facets of the ability to explain its feats."
Also, the heat itself is stated explicitly to be what would instantly vaporize Jugram if he wasn't using Blut Vene, so its incredible destructive power is drawn attention to at about the same time that the threat of Soul Society's destruction is.

Jugram not being soul crushed doesn't mean the Reiatsu isn't using those other properties? That just straightforwardly doesn't follow. All it means is that the heat is able to effect him whilst the other hax can't. Has absolutely no bearing on their involvement in the feat itself. This doesn't prove anything.

And none of those properties are thermal in nature except for the one guy who has fire powers, those thermal properties also being stated to be 15 million C in temperature.

If you have to resort to stuff that's never even implied to be present in the source material to "solve" a contradiction, that's no solution at all.

It's a fictional story man, and a blatantly supernatural one that runs 90% on Rule of Cool. You can't possibly expect it to never do anything that's weird from a real life physics PoV, and there's nothing wrong with admitting a minor contradiction that doesn't impact the story or themes at all exists, that's just the kind of thing that happens.

It's using those properties, and said properties are demonstrably less potent than the heat, which is thus implied to be the main source of the widespread effects of Zanka no Tachi.
