Introduction
As the title suggests, this CRT will be dedicated to a speed upgrade for the mid-tiers of the verse, along with some additional calcs that should be added to the verse page. This speed upgrade comes from one new calc and a calc that the stronger mid to high tiers have as their combat speed.
Revision
Firstly, the new calc is based on Kishibe blitzing a pre-training Denji during their training with an extremely fast spin kick. After grueling daily training with Kishibe, says that Denji is stronger than before and can take down many more devils more easily. He went from being completely blitzed by Kishibe to managing to land a single hit on him. Considering Kishibe's advanced martial arts skills, genius combat mastery, and title as the strongest devil hunter, skilled enough to briefly keep up with Quanxi, another hunter skilled enough to be regarded as unbeatable in pure bare-knuckle fighting, and known as the strongest humanity has to offer. Denji being able to tag Kishibe at all is significant. Despite Kishibe's superior strength, speed, and incredibly superior combat, he gives Denji a perfect score for his movements in that training session. This implies that post-training Denji should be at most Hypersonic+. "At most" is justified as Kishibe commends his movements, and Denji being able to tag someone who was previously blitzing him heavily is proof of a significant speed increase due to this training. As for Kishibe, he would flat out scale to Hypersonic+, since when fighting faster opponents such as Quanxi, he is constantly outsped and unable to land a hit despite her fighting casually.
Secondly, and probably lastly, Post-Enhanced Katana Man has a feat of blitzing a Fire Devil contractor by utilizing his sword draw dash ability. By crouching down, Katana Man can dash forward at incredible speeds, blitzing his opponents. Post-Training Chainsaw Man was able to react to this attack twice, meaning he should have a baseline scaling to High Hypersonic+. Post-Enhanced Katana Man would also scale to this, meaning his combat speed would now be as fast as his attack speed with sword draw dash.
Scaling
Now with the main scaling lines out the way lets go over who scales to each respective feat
Pre-Training Chainsaw Man
Post-Training Denji is at most Hypersonic+, so his Pre-Training Chainsaw Man key should upscale from this. When Denji transforms into his devil state, he is empowered by the respective concept of chainsaws (learn more about empowerment of devils here and here), which upgrades him from his human physical state to a fear-enhanced physical body. This means he should be superior in speed from his post-training human counterpart while transformed. Therefore, Pre-Training Chainsaw Man should still be superior in speed to Post-Training Denji, hence at least Hypersonic+ when transformed.
Post-Weakening Key
Denji's human state remains relatively the same throughout the current manga, so all his human forms up to the Post-Fear Boost would be at most Hypersonic+ (For clarity Denji is not affected by fear empowerment when he is in human form but rather only when he transforms to his devil state). Regarding the Post-Weakening Chainsaw Man key, he would be slower than before due to the success of Makima's plan of depowering him, which reduced the power devils receive from being feared. Therefore, he should downscale to baseline Hypersonic+ when transformed, as he would be notably weaker than Pre-Training Chainsaw Man.
Post-Fear Boost Key
Should be the same as the Post-Training Key.
Pre-Enhanced Katana Man
Should now be, at least Hypersonic+ when transformed for matching Pre-Training Chainsaw Man in combat.
Post-Enhanced Katana Man
Post-Enhanced Katana Man should be likely Hypersonic+ for being comparable to Post-Training Denji and should have baseline High Hypersonic+ combat speed and attack speed with his sword draw dash when transformed, being relative to Post-Training Chainsaw Man.
Reze
Reze should be at least Hypersonic+ for perception-blitzing Post-Training Denji and should be at least High Hypersonic+ for outspeeding Post-Training Chainsaw Man for the majority of their battle.
Post-Assault Aki
Should be at most High Hypersonic+ for being able to dodge multiple attacks from Bomb Girl using his precognition, albeit he was heavily struggling, and if he made one wrong move, he would have died.
Devil Hunter Santa Claus
Her dolls should now be baseline High Hypersonic+ for being able to chase down and land hits on Post-Training Chainsaw Man.
Darkness Contract Santa Claus
She should be baseline High Hypersonic+ during the day and at least High Hypersonic+ when in darkness, for reasons listed on her profile.
Galgali
Should be baseline High Hypersonic+ for reasons enlisted on his profile.
Beam
Should be at most High Hypersonic+ and baseline High Hypersonic+ when transformed for reasons enlisted on his profile.
Calculation Additions
The current Class M feat that most mid-tiers in the CSM verse scale to is at risk of a downgrade. As a replacement, there are devil weights varying from Class 5 to Class 100, which can serve as a substitute since Denji is superior to these devils both physically and in terms of fear scaling.
Post-Weakening Chainsaw Man: is able to push around the Cockroach devil as shown in the calc, therefore should now scale to Class 100
Post-Chainsaw Man Church Arc Yoru: was able to break out of the Octopus Devil's restraining, and since the Octopus Devil was able to momentarily restrain an Awakened Pochita, she should now scale to at most Class G.
That's all

- Yoshida: Should receive at most Class G with the Octopus devil for reasons stated above
- Makima: Makima is more feared than current Yoru, as she was able to fight against a Weakened Pochita with higher physical stats and opponents who are physically above Post-Chainsaw Man Church Arc Yoru. More supporting evidence is that Yoru was only empowered by the Chainsaw Man war taking place in Japan, while Makima's power had forced most of the countries of the world to surrender to her.
- Weakened Pochita: Should be relative to Makima in strength
- Transformed Quanxi: Was practically already superior to current Yoru in strength when in base and gets strength when the transforms.
