Intro
So, I used the anime adaptation of the original Six Paths Chibaku Tensei to calc the feat and am now going to propose we use it over the current one.
Calcs
Obviously I believe we should go with my calc, but allow me to explain my primary reasoning. First, my calc uses corporate canon to find the speed at which the Moon was hurled, while Damage just uses an absolute low-end assumption for the speed to get the Moon into orbit. In terms of justifying the assumption, using the corporate canon adaptation of the feat is by far the lesser assumption, as I based my calc on the marketed/produced medium. Furthermore, it's common practice to use the anime for calcing feats that are more vague in the manga (we do this with Light Fang for example). Also, Damage's calc assumes it took ~13 hours for the Moon to make it into orbit, which is directly contradicted by the anime portrayal of the feat. Damage's speed assumption is no different than assuming 1 minute or 30 minutes or an hour, he just chose the lowest realistic speed possible (not saying that's bad, just saying it has no backing by any of the corporate canon material). At the end of the day it simply comes down to which speed assumption is better, basing the assumption off the corporate canon material vs making an arbitrary assumption, and considering the anime adaptation of the feat brings 0 contradictions, there's no argument that a random assumption is better.
Conclusion
This thread is just for deciding which calc to use, I'll make a scaling thread later. So help me God, do not ask me about who scales in this thread.
Agree: Mitch (CGM), Clover (CGM), US69
Neutral: KT (leaning yes), Tracer (leaning yes)
Disagree: Damage (CGM)
Mrk: KLOL
