Black Flash Multiplier Description Revision

[Agnaa]

On our Multipliers page, we have this section:

Multipliers without reliable statements​

• Black Flash Multiplier (Jujutsu Kaisen): Rejected due to not being consistent with the scale of the verse as several attacks would be Moon level to Brown Dwarf level. Several characters have been able to withstand a Black Flash even if, in theory, the attack is ^2.5 stronger.

Just from this description alone, the bigger issue is that the multiplier provided is incoherent and fundamentally unusable.

I've been told off-site that the author is aware of this, and has called it out. Still, it's something we should put front and center if we're going to use it as an example.

You cannot meaningfully exponentiate values that have units, because the way that alters the number depends on the unit of choice. If you try to square 1 kilogram, that would seemingly leave you with 1 kilogram, but if you instead measure it in grams, you'd get 100,000 grams, or 100 kg, while if you measured it in metric tons, you'd get 0.00001 metric tons, or 0.01 kg.

So, we cannot actually say that attacks would become "moon level to brown dwarf level", there are infinitely many answers for how this multiplier would change the attacks' strength, ranging from planck scale to 3-A.

I think that we should either add this reasoning to it, or remove this example if that would overcomplicate things.

Honestly, would support simply to remove the example entirely given the nonsense it is.

 

[Planck69]

I'm with Lephyr on that, it's an entirely nonsensical multiplier from its conception.

 

[Damage3245]

I agree with removing it. It isn't a functional multiplier.

@Maverick_Zero_X Pinging you, as you replaced the DB example with this one a while back.

Want to note that Black Flash multiplier was accepted to be 2.5x here as another reason why the Black Flash example should be removed from the Multipliers page

Removing the example sounds reasonable.

Five admin approvals. Removed it, and locking this thread.
