Gamera Upgrades

I did this a while ago. I got Small Planet level for it. It seemed to be accepted in the comments, but one was concerned due to lack of environmental damage. I just thought it might be worth looking at.

If it was specifically stated that the earthquake had a magnitude of 18 (which is just insane). I am okay with having this feat accepted. As for the buildings not being obliterated and stuff, I guess that would be just shounen logic coming into play (similar to why random Ki blasts in DBZ doesn't just automatically destroy the Earth).

• There is a method that MAPSK did in an earthquake feat that involves seismic moment energy , and I got this value:

• Seeing that the seismic moment of a Magnitude 2 earthquake nets us a value of 1.233105e+12 joules, a Magnitude 4 earthquake nets us a value of about 1.233105e+15 joules.

• Apparently, for every 2+ increase in magnitude, we get about a 1000 times increase in energy.

• If Gamera's earthquake is at Magnitude 18 (holy hell lmao), we get an approximate value of 1.233105e+(12+(3*8)) = 1.233105e36 joules, or about 294,719,168,260,038,240,917,782,026 Tons of TNT. That is Large Planet level.

Welp.

I'll accept it when I have confirmation from a source that's not TVtropes, as much as I do love that site.

 

[LordXcano]

Well has anyone here actually seen Gamera vs. Zigra? Maybe there's a transcript online? There seems to be a lot of uploads of the film but it's, you know, over an hour long.

(also thanks for doing the seismic moment Crazy)

 

[Lina_Shields]

So is the upgrade going to be approved? Large Planet level Gamera sounds fantastic to me!

 

[TheMightyRegulator]

Obviously not until we get confirmation from an official source.

 

[Antvasima]

I agree with TMR.

 

[ImagoDesattrolante]

I would love Large Planet level Gamera but this sounds vastly outlierish

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

https://youtu.be/b0sLdJXmS-A?t=483They mention a magnitude 16 Earthquake. Wikipedia and "Wikizilla" both mention Magnitude 18 Earthquakes so maybe its a dub difference?

 

[TheMightyRegulator]

Huh. Interesting. The Japanese translation should be the canon version, perhaps we should use that.

 

[Lina_Shields]

For every 2+ increase/decrease in magnitude, the energy released,would increase/decrease by 1000 times. So if the earthquake was at magnitude 16, the seismic energy released would have to be about 2.95e23 Tons of TNT. Solid Planet level.

As if regular earthquakes weren't terrifying enough.....

 

[ImagoDesattrolante]

295 zettatons? hm

 

[Yamatohime]

What scale we use? 12 RS? Each level of 12RS produce ten times more energy. If it is 10RS each 2 levels produce roughly thousand times more energy.

While I don't disagree with the method, Crazystarf, MAPSK's calc was rejected.

 

[LordXcano]

I thought MAPSK's calc was accepted? Whenever I see a RWBY match on the OBD it always uses the 38 kilotons Town level thing for high-tiers. Unless that was a different one?

Provided it was though

6.309573e+28 Joules for Magnitude 16

Multi-Continental

 

[Lina_Shields]

Well, I guess large planet level was pushing it a bit in regards to Gamera considering it didn't blow up Earth.

The value you listed seems much better, with the Earth still intact and stuff.

 

[Alakabamm]

You might be referring to the Grimm Dragon destroying the mountaintop calc, which was town level after something like 5 revisions and a confirmation of the Grimm Dragon's actual size in Season 3 Episode 12

 

[LordXcano]

I am. But it still used seismic moment energy, did it not? The issue was more to due with the dragon's size, not the method used AFAIK

 

[Alakabamm]

No, the one I am referring to was a violent fragmentation calculation that was revised five times.

The issue with the MAPSK calc that Crazy posted was that there was not enough evidence that an earthquake of that magnitude occurred
