Benimaru Shinmon vs Orochi (One Punch Man)

Benimaru scales to a SoL KE feat, which seems flawed. After all, using conventional physics, moving at the speed of light is impossible for anything with non-zero mass, so the kinetic energy would have to be either 0 or infinity, both of which are nonsensical.
 
Fire Force verse acknowldges the K = (1/2)mV^2 equation as a means for outputting Kinetic energy and the same character that says they use the KE equation when they use their attacks (well, everyone does) also could move at Lightspeed and FTL
 
Unless there's some explanation about how KE applies past light speed in that verse, I doubt that covers it.
 
The fact that almost any verse that goes LS or FTL can go lightspeed at all kinda breaks physics in the way we apply it to the real world. Most verses don't specifically use factor KE into their worlds physics, but this verse does. It's just a matter of plugging the numbers into the equation, Fire Force get's their AP calcs for being city block level using the KE equation in relation to a character's speed (Maki at massively hypersonic), and the verse doesn't treat lightspeed as having infinite energy/mass so it's just again plugging in the numbers. I'm pretty sure this verse only has the calc accepted because the verse explicitly acknowledges the KE equation. Otherwise it would be like how other FTL verses AP is calced
 
Yes, a verse that has LS or FTL characters breaks physics, which means we can't use conventional physics equations such as the equation for KE with values that break physics. The kinetic energy equation is fairly common knowledge, whereas an author may not know about the specifics of travelling at light speed and what that would mean for a character's kinetic energy. Using KE to find a verse's AP is fine if it meets standards; the speed not reaching or going above SoL is one of those standards.
 
To clarify, it's fine if the verse specifies that he is moving at SoL and he hits harder due to KE being greater at the SoL or something along those lines. This seems to be more like the verse acknowledges the characters being SoL and acknowledges KE but doesn't explicitly link the two.
 
Thing is, the character that specifically uses his increased velocity to throw Kinetic Energy attacks also moves at LS and FTL speeds and attacks in the same exact way with his velocity adding to his KE output. (Im aware that basically all physical attacks are KE based, just saying this to specify the character specifically acknowledged as using KE.) His mass doesn't change so it seems like its just a matter of plugging things in.


Though, without that they'd scale from moving at above 25% the speed of light I think
