Chainsaw Man discussion thread

For Makima's contract, wasn't it just shown t work with her material body being present, and not something over the top? Like, the statement of no attacks working on her just works on her PHYSICAL BODY, because in CSM, there isn't really an attack that can remove her materiality or so on?

That's not how the statement goes, it's attacks made on her in general. I don't need to search for devil's who can possibly attack her soul because the statement is self explanatory.
 
Now with Yoshida being the one who got barfed, I genuinely can't imagine what would happen next, Fujimoto really pulled the best move here.
 
Barem was lying out of his ass huh
We doing this every week now
Obviously what we need is an entire chapter of the cast talking about the fight that just happened, why what happened happened, what they could've done differently, and why certain tactics wouldn't have worked, before Fumiko comes in and introduces another plot point that has nothing to do with anything before resolving it.
 
the shit man is back
millions must be welmed

so many other infinately more interesting options
and this is the one time fujimoto decides to be predictable
 
Yay! Another trifecta of Pochita blitzes Old Age/Old Age fodderizes Gun Goddess Bullet/Gun Goddess Bullet slams Pochita!!
aging devil’s body couldn’t have tanked the bullets. he just didn’t allow himself to be hit, unlike with pochita
 
this is so boring i wish he puked up the aids devil or something
Eh, but a more realistic approach though. Like Pochita ain't puking up a devil that will cause millions of people to die just to save 10000 children, that's not how it works. And not that AIDs will even do anything though. The most likely thing to help is the lost concept about chainsaw's power, but I think that might also be even more dangerous, that's why Pochita ate all of them.
 
Yoshida was absolutely amazing this chapter. He really is one of CSM's best
the shit man is back
It's honestly so funny seeing the varied reactions people have had to Yoshida this chapter. I've seen geniune hate and love for how Yoshida's still all mysteries and cryptic smiles.

It seems like Christmas has come (albeit a bit late). We got the recalcs evaluated, however, for the chainsaw kick calc, we sadly ended up with fragmentation evaluated. So, working with what we have at the low-end scaling (apart from the Bat Devil's sonic attack, which I still think is fine), we can start planning for the upgrade thread.

If we use the Low-End Scaling but keep Bat's Sonic Attack as Pulverization, then Bat's Sonic Attack remains 90-something tons of TNT (and Denji's durability is 8-tons), while Pochita's Dropkick is only 80-something tons, so the Dropkick Calc doesn't do anything.

My arguments from before how debris can be seen in the Sonic Attack shot, when Pulverization means no debris, still holds.

The best I can say for now is collateral. That huge explosion likely caused the surrounding buildings to become unstable, so a good chunk of leftover debris could have fallen from above.

Debris can is visible in the center of the attack, in the shot which shows a hole being punched into the building, before anything had a chance to fall yet. We went over this already.
 
Honestly, the debris is very minimal regardless, almost unnoticeable, while everything else gets pulverized. I don't think we should discredit the feat in that regard.

Absolutely not. "Almost unnoticeable" when the camera is tens of meters away from the point of impact means at least pebble to fist sized chunks of rock up-close. Pulverization means No Debris (or turned to powder).

I'm not discrediting the feat, and I'm not sure why you think I am. I'm stating that Violent Fragmentation is the more accurate end.

Alright, I'm convinced V.F should be used as well. Should we make the upgrade thread first or address the calc?
The Calc itself got evaluated a while ago, so both can be done at the same time, like-
Part 1: Revised Calcs
Besides the new stuff, almost all of Chainsaw Man's existing AP calcs are getting replaced, redone, or reevaluated. How so is up for debate.
The Bat Devil / Denji Durability calc will now use the Violent Fragmentation end rather than Pulverization, as Pulverization means no debris and debris can clearly be seen in the shot.
 
Alrighty, so practically, you can focus on the premise of the thread (calcs and stuff), and I'll work on who scales to whom (you already did this part, but I'll be adding more justification and feats).

Could you resend the low end scaling?

Part 2: The Scaling
We've been discussing this one for weeks, it's like 99% sorted. The parts that aren't sorted (God Tiers) are because Fujimoto likes confusing powerscalers, so we're using Possibly/At leasts until things are clearer.

Baseline - Power Crushes Cucumber: 6.72 kg of TNT
  • Initial Power (Duh)
  • Initial Denji (Fights with Power)
  • Pre-Assault Aki (Fought Denji)
  • Himeno, Kobeni, etc... (Should be at least comparable to Pre-Assault Aki)
  • Akane Sawatari (Former Devil Hunter)
  • Pingtsi, Long, Cosmo, Tsugihagi (Are fiends)
  • Fiend Beam (Is a fiend)
  • Zombies under Akane (Are basically devils, got wrecked by Post-Training Power and Initial Hybrid Denji)

  • Post-Training Power (Can harm Post-Assault Aki and single-handedly take down loads of zombies)
  • Post-Training Denji (Still gets into fights with Power, same scaling goes for Weakened and Current since Fear Scaling shouldn't affect his human form)
  • Human Reze (At least, wrecked Post-Training Denji, later snapped his neck)
  • Masked Violence (At the very least; Reze took him seriously, while she was totally unfazed by Fox biting her, better than Beam who got one-shot)

Mid Tiers - Bat Devil's Sonic Attack: 9.14 tons of TNT

  • Ghost Devil (Fearscales above Bat)
  • Aki's Curse Sword (Can hurt Katana Man)
  • Hybrid Reze (At least, wrecked Hybrid Denji)
  • Hybrid Barem (At least, should be stronger than Katana Man)

  • Aki's Angel Katana (At least, can disarm the Ghost Devil and Hybrid Reze)
  • Angel Devil w/ Typical Weapons (The strongest Division 4 Agent besides Kishibe, typical weapons should be comparable to Aki's Katana)

  • Unmasked Violence (At least, shredded his uniform just by transforming)
  • Kishibe w/ Knives (His knives should not be worse than Kobeni's)
  • Human Quanxi's Physicals (Hurt Yoru, could kill Yoshida with one direct hit, bit into Fumiko who's somehow more durable than Public Safety Uniforms(???))
  • Post-Chainsaw Man Church Yoru (Cut out of Octopus, took a kick from Quanxi, lost an exchange but was missing an arm to be fair)
