One character with his attacks causes a big tremor in the city:

Is it fair to consider an earthquake? I see some cases where just a simple tremor is considered an earthquake, but I want to be sure about this

If the earthquake is confirmed to have spread over to quite a large area, then yeah, it can be asserted as an Earthquake.

For normal shaking that can be felt by people but doesn't do much structural damage, Magnitude 4 is the starting point.

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Magnitude 5 would be correct, no? The tremor has a lot of impact. The baseline of magnitude 5 is "Affecting all things".

5.0–5.9

Moderate

VI to VII

Can cause damage of varying severity to poorly constructed buildings. Zero to slight damage to all other buildings. Felt by everyone.

Even if it is a magnitude 5-4 earthquake Mahito made do we even know how wide it spread?
If we don’t then it isn’t that noteworthy for him

It is possible to measure the distance with buildings

out of curiosity, where did you get this from? I couldn't find this

 

[Yar_R_agi_7k]

couldn't see the links there, sorry

Btw Imo I think Magnitude 5 is fair I remember a MHA Calc used magnitude 5 off of buildings and cars shaking with everyone feeling it

 

[Armorchompy]

Just causing shaking is usually assumed to be 4.0/4.5 from what i've seen

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Well, people overestimate the magnitude 5
The description accepted by the site is said:

5.0–5.9

Moderate

VI to VII

Can cause damage of varying severity to poorly constructed buildings. Zero to slight damage to all other buildings. Felt by everyone.

1,000 to 1,500 per year

The description of a used calculator on the wiki says:

3.5-5.4

Often felt, but rarely causes damage

A building is only affected by a magnitude 5 when the building is not of good quality. In the case of Japan, the buildings have earthquake-resistant characteristics.

Magnitude 5 is fair (Its actually a massive low-end)

EDIT: Like, watch this video. Japan's buildings can survive magnitude 7

And another

 

[Armorchompy]

... yeah, duh? Just cause they can survive magnitude 7 earthquakes doesn't mean just a normal shaking feat won't be magnitude 4
