It was the latest author comments from this last chapter I think. You know how Weekly shonen has a little comment section from their authors?What's the context around this picture it might be useful for this thread?
I can't retire in peace when people are bullshittingGo back to retirement, kt
And then you decide to do more bullshit?I can't retire in peace when people are bullshitting
YesAnd then you decide to do more bullshit?
Right, he admitted that his comment is bullshit
I haven’t read this post but it wasn’t even a counter,Exponents and attack potency do not work. The black flash counter is dogshit.
I'll summarize.I haven’t read this post but it wasn’t even a counter,
It was just a way to cope for me.
Ok that should debunk any notion that "oh Gege doesn't know what they're talking about, so our calcs are better" then, since Gege is acknowledging that the jump from the insanity of Hakari's fight to characters getting blitzed by a few Mach is crazy. For that reason, I disagree with the sentiment that we should disregard Gege's shenanigans because "they don't know what they're talking about but our fan calcers do", rather they seem well aware of the seemingly extreme scope change between Hakari's fight and Maki's fight.It was the latest author comments from this last chapter I think.

Tbh, this post should be the new OP, as the current one is way too blandDamn yall can't argue. I needa come back for this, cause this is something I wanted implemented even far before this statement came out.
Exponents and attack potency do not work. The black flash counter is dogshit.
Tons^2 would be Squared Tons, while we only measure in regular tons. Same with Squared Joules and such.
It needs a specific unit that is used in the statement for it to be applicable, not just a squared statement.
Shit, the author only used squared because the number would be higher. He doesn't even know what he's talking about in itself. What if the yield is 1 ton like you guys said?
It'd be 1 squared ton, which we don't work with.
Black Flash doesn't work because we can't quantify it. You can't square energy unless you have a stagnant unit.
Now when it comes to the consistency of their slow ass speed, I'm appalled by how you guys don't know your verse and you think that the calcs are more consistent.
They are consistently not impressive in speed. So please stop with the narrative that they're consistently MHS
- Hanami's buds couldn't travel a close distance in 0.01 seconds. That's not hypersonic.
- Naobito's Projection Sorcery of covering melee distances in 1/24 seconds. Next to Gojo, he's the fastest Jujutsu Sorcerer, which means every other Jujutsu Sorcerer is below him. He was blitzing Dagon, and stated to be possibly faster than Jogo. Consistent, they say "he's the fastest" while Gojo is sealed..
- Naoya's Cursed Technique lets him track movement at 1/24 seconds each. This means that his regular reactions are inferior. This means that his speed is inferior when he's shown to not cover large distances in those timeframes. Yuji calls him fast.
- Piercing Blood is canonically shown to be faster than sound by its sonic boom, then it progressively gets slower. Can conclude that it goes to below the speed of sound after its initial fire.
- His peak speed (it's his peak speed) is stated to be supersonic, and the context is implying that everything else he's done isn't supersonic.
- Naoya and Naobito's victim is frozen for 1 second if they don't move at a specific timeframe of 1/24 seconds. Maki doesn't even move that, and she's frozen. Naoya couldn't even cover that melee distance in a single second. It's consistent.
- They blatantly say he moves faster than the speed of sound, and they imply that they can't. "If he moves at the speed of sound, we'll prepare".
- He gets to Mach 3.
I feel like there is a misunderstanding here. The push was never for them all to be MHS. It is that they are above the speed of sound. The MHS would only be for the god tiers.They are consistently not impressive in speed. So please stop with the narrative that they're consistently MHS
The author's comments mean nothing really. It's just referencing how the series has gone from things like Gojo's infinite to things like Mach speeds. Plus Gege having an idea of what he is doing with Mach speeds doesn't mean it's correct with the story when it has contradictions.Ok that should debunk any notion that "oh Gege doesn't know what they're talking about, so our calcs are better" then, since Gege is acknowledging that the jump from the insanity of Hakari's fight to characters getting blitzed by a few Mach is crazy. For that reason, I disagree with the sentiment that we should disregard Gege's shenanigans because "they don't know what they're talking about but our fan calcers do", rather they seem well aware of the seemingly extreme scope change between Hakari's fight and Maki's fight.
It's not just calculations that contradiction but other inconsistencies in the story. Such as people perceiving FTS attacks but then getting perception blitzed by slower-than-sound characters, or characters at the beginning of the series react to sound attacks when faster characters later get blitzed by sound. Its more than just calculations.Also, regarding most of our fan calcs, they're blatantly predicated on assumptions for the most part that don't inherently have to be true (Mai's bullet speed sticking out like a sore thumb in that regard).
The lightning feat is performed by one of the god tiers in the verse who scales above the rest of the cast unless we go with Naoya being Mach 3 is above that character then it would be an inconsistency.Furthermore, the narrative even with the lightning supports a relative to sound speed JJK verse. To quote Cyber's translated scan: "this attack is a bolt of lightning that rips through the atmosphere and never misses its mark, without the need for a domain expansion". Lightning narratively is so extremely fast that for all intents and purposes it functions as "instantaneous speed". This makes perfect sense in the context of characters being consistently ~speed of sound, as they would perceive lightning as ~instant considering it would be 1000s of times faster than what they are usually (consistent with what happened to Panda). Whereas if everyone was 10s to 100s of Mach, lightning would be fast sure, but it wouldn't be anywhere near fast enough to be considered "instant".
While there is evidence for Mach scaling, there are also contradictions between feats and earlier showings in the series.Personally, there is just too blatantly massive of a preponderance of evidence for vaguely subsonic to vaguely supersonic speeds in JJK as being impressive for us to ignore in favor of fan calcs. If it were just one statement or implication vs numerous feats it'd be one thing, but there are a plethora of ~sound speed is impressive statements and implications in this verse..
Thank you for dropping by and leaving your opinion.Was discussing this thread with some buddies and felt the need to vocalize my thoughts here. That being said, I'm gonna dip, best of luck with this CRT everyone.

I'm not a knowledgeable member or a supporter of JJK, so take my opinion with a grain of salt I suppose, but I personally find KT and Arc's arguments to be very convincing.

My apologies if this topic is already resolved, but I was reading a lot of "the author doesn't know what they're talking about" comments and I disagreed.

I will be responding to you more in depth later but this is from the jump author side comments. I’m not really sure how you come to the conclusion yoj did after this post but this literally Gege acknowledging their mess up of the speed scale. I’m not sure how you derived a different conclusion here.What's the context around this picture it might be useful for this thread?
Truly shows depending on what side someone is, people can come up with any explanation. To me it just seems he is acknowledging the difference in scale jumping from infinite Hakari CE in the previous fight to mach in the current fight.I will be responding to you more in depth later but this is from the jump author side comments.

I mean not really. He literally references the speed scale and, in the same quote, says "are you okay?" denoting that people are questioning the inconsistencies. He then proceeds to say, "I agree with you," which loosely translates to "yeah, I messed up, and your concerns are valid.Truly shows depending on what side someone is, people can come up with any explanation. To me it just seems he is acknowledging the difference in scale jumping from infinite Hakari CE in the previous fight to mach in the current fight.
Hakari's infinite CE didn't even have anything to do with speed and there has never been any mention of infinite speed in JJK so one just can't make the entire statement about the speed scale.
Also author comments in Jump get written in the same issue, basically chapter by chapter. It isn't something that comes out later so if Gege thought he messed up in the comments, the manga wouldn't have the mach speed in the same chapter. If this was next week's comment, that would make a bit of sense but it is the comment that accompanied this same chapter. It just shows that Gege is acknowledging the absurdity not that he made a literal mistake.
How is it speed scale when there is no infinite speed in JJK? What am I missing here. Isn't the infinite part of the statement about Infinite CE Hakari since that was the last battle? I don't remember Hakari having infinite speed. Not even Gojo had infinite speed.I mean not really. He literally references the speed scale and, in the same quote, says "are you okay?" denoting that people are questioning the inconsistencies. He then proceeds to say, "I agree with you," which loosely translates to "yeah, I messed up, and your concerns are valid.
And your timeline quote is also incorrect. If Gege realized this later into the week after he already drafted and began finalizing everything, he can't just stop the presses and make edits. Do you know the time crunch mangaka is on? Why even make this statement if it wasn't relevant?
Well welcome back, but you should probably brush some of the rust off.Damn yall can't argue. I needa come back for this, cause this is something I wanted implemented even far before this statement came out.
Why did you attack this strawman so in depth? We already know why we can't use exponents with energy. The point is that Gege throws shit into the manga because it sounds cool and frequently realizes they made a mistake in explanation later (low level curse intangibility, Achilles and Tortoise explanation, black flash, etc).Exponents and attack potency do not work. The black flash counter is dogshit.
Tons^2 would be Squared Tons, while we only measure in regular tons. Same with Squared Joules and such.
It needs a specific unit that is used in the statement for it to be applicable, not just a squared statement.

Yeah, no. That's not what consistent means.Literally almost a dozen supersonic-hypersonic feats on panel.
Author narrative being > Actual events that happen in the manga.
This is literally the only valid example from this list and it's about a projectile attack. You can literally find these types of feats in any story. But let's just give you this one for now.
- Hanami's buds couldn't travel a close distance in 0.01 seconds. That's not hypersonic.
Literally all of these examples are invalid. The argument here is that Gege's use of sonic speed is coming from an ignorant standpoint and that the speed scale across the series has been consistently > supersonic from the beginning to current arc. You can't then use examples of Gege's flawed perception of sonic speed to prove your point. That's circular logic. You have to prove that these techniques being supersonic is consistent in the context of other speed feats contributing to the overall scale. Which I can assure you is not the case.They are consistently not impressive in speed. So please stop with the narrative that they're consistently MHS
- Naobito's Projection Sorcery of covering melee distances in 1/24 seconds. Next to Gojo, he's the fastest Jujutsu Sorcerer, which means every other Jujutsu Sorcerer is below him. He was blitzing Dagon, and stated to be possibly faster than Jogo. Consistent, they say "he's the fastest" while Gojo is sealed..
- Naoya's Cursed Technique lets him track movement at 1/24 seconds each. This means that his regular reactions are inferior. This means that his speed is inferior when he's shown to not cover large distances in those timeframes. Yuji calls him fast.
- Piercing Blood is canonically shown to be faster than sound by its sonic boom, then it progressively gets slower. Can conclude that it goes to below the speed of sound after its initial fire.
- His peak speed (it's his peak speed) is stated to be supersonic, and the context is implying that everything else he's done isn't supersonic.
- Naoya and Naobito's victim is frozen for 1 second if they don't move at a specific timeframe of 1/24 seconds. Maki doesn't even move that, and she's frozen. Naoya couldn't even cover that melee distance in a single second. It's consistent.
- They blatantly say he moves faster than the speed of sound, and they imply that they can't. "If he moves at the speed of sound, we'll prepare".
- He gets to Mach 3.
Dude, what are you talking about? Infinite is clearly referencing speed or else the second comparative factor would not have been mach...While we can't confirm what he means by infinite, he's likely referencing the lightning technique which was described as can't miss.How is it speed scale when there is no infinite speed in JJK? What am I missing here. Isn't the infinite part of the statement about Infinite CE Hakari since that was the last battle? I don't remember Hakari having infinite speed. Not even Gojo had infinite speed.
It is 100% obvious the "Infinite" has nothing to do with speed. The statement cannot be used to say Gege is purely talking about speed scale.
What? He is literally saying that he acknowledges the inconsistency...Hence the "are you okay" and "I agree with you" parts. I'm not sure what you read but certainly, nothing in the quote should make you reach the conclusion that Gege is doubling down on the mach speed.Ok that should debunk any notion that "oh Gege doesn't know what they're talking about, so our calcs are better" then, since Gege is acknowledging that the jump from the insanity of Hakari's fight to characters getting blitzed by a few Mach is crazy. For that reason, I disagree with the sentiment that we should disregard Gege's shenanigans because "they don't know what they're talking about but our fan calcers do", rather they seem well aware of the seemingly extreme scope change between Hakari's fight and Maki's fight.
You claim this but offer no backing evidence. Most of the "assumptions" that you're trying to drag simply come from the fictional reality constants being the same as ours. Are you saying that bullet propagation caused by a gun is different in JjK? Are the air physics different there? Are explosion physics different? Lightning physics? Please explain to me your point about these assumptions and how they are invalid.Also, regarding most of our fan calcs, they're blatantly predicated on assumptions for the most part that don't inherently have to be true (Mai's bullet speed sticking out like a sore thumb in that regard).
This literally makes no sense is completely baseless conjecture. Humans aren't even close to subsonic and don't even see lightning as instant so let's stop talking for the author.Furthermore, the narrative even with the lightning supports a relative to sound speed JJK verse. To quote Cyber's translated scan: "this attack is a bolt of lightning that rips through the atmosphere and never misses its mark, without the need for a domain expansion". Lightning narratively is so extremely fast that for all intents and purposes it functions as "instantaneous speed". This makes perfect sense in the context of characters being consistently ~speed of sound, as they would perceive lightning as ~instant considering it would be 1000s of times faster than what they are usually (consistent with what happened to Panda). Whereas if everyone was 10s to 100s of Mach, lightning would be fast sure, but it wouldn't be anywhere near fast enough to be considered "instant".
"We have to ignore what Gege drew on the panel as action events in favor of his narrative, which has been subject to scrutiny in the past. "Personally, there is just too blatantly massive of a preponderance of evidence for vaguely subsonic to vaguely supersonic speeds in JJK as being impressive for us to ignore in favor of fan calcs.
It's two statements regarding the speed of two techniques (these two techniques also being paired together since Choso fought Noaya) vs 5-6x more feats over a much more consistent time frame. Please stop the misrepresentation.If it were just one statement or implication vs numerous feats it'd be one thing, but there are a plethora of ~sound speed is impressive statements and implications in this verse.
If the speed feat calcs are more consistent than this little outlier then i am pretty sure calcs should take precedence.
If the author consistently thinks their characters are not above sonic speed and literally knows what "speed of sound" is by their use of "mach" at least they know what it is and also the little comment about the speed.They are consistent

The drawing is literally what's happening on panel (and thus in verse) and when there are concerns, those are brought up in calcs.I find it interesting that people have few issues with direct statements being potentially wrong, but the possibility that the author's drawing (of an explosion, or a distance a bullet travels) could be wrong instead rarely seems to come up.
And the statements are not "in-verse"?The drawing is literally what's happening on panel (and thus in verse) and when there are concerns, those are brought up in calcs.
It does not mean the author knows the speed of such explosions this claims goes both ways, the only difference between both claim is that one is backed up by feat and author statement and the other is just fan calcs.I don't really understand the second part here. An author drawing an explosion means an explosion happened. It doesn't change the inherent quality of explosions, nor would it change the inherent speed of propagation for bullets. While all calls clearly have a margin for error the general scale of the conclusions is going to be consistent. None of this is really a problem in JjK. So why bring this up?
Obviously they are but they are statements, not actual things happening in the JjK verse. If Gege has Sukuna blow up a planet at EoS and someone says "that blast was comparable to a nuke!" we aren't going to make the blast city level. The actual event taking place takes precedence unless it's an outlier.And the statements are not "in-verse"?
What does "only drew it for the art/plot sake" mean?In fact, when you say the author does not know what they are talking about, the same applies when I say "the author does not know the speed it will take to dodge an explosion and only drew it for art/plot sake"
Speed of sound is from two techniques, one for which the verbiage was "surpassed" the speed of sound. This being juxtaposed to a litany of feats spanning the whole series being > supersonic from characters who have no business even being remotely close to current Noaya or Maki.Your assumptions are even greater in this instance as he sure knows what he is saying when he talked about speed of sound multiple times, but he may not know the speed in which explosions happen.
No, the difference is one is a statement subject to being wrong, and the other 12 examples are distinct events that happened in the series' timeline.It does not mean the author knows the speed of such explosions this claims goes both ways, the only difference between both claim is that one is backed up by feat and author statement and the other is just fan calcs.
I'm not a knowledgeable member or a supporter of JJK, so take my opinion with a grain of salt I suppose, but I personally find KT and Arc's arguments to be very convincing. I think they're making a lot of sense.
Yeah because Gege didn’t also draw the feats that are calced,and blatantly admit his scaling is crazy, I forgot.This is the main reason powerscaling is looked at so negatively.
Now we have to act as if the author is stupid and doesn't know what he is writing in his own story just to push fan calcs when Gege has already made things clear multiple times with statements in the manga.
This is clearly a very different scenario asObviously they are but they are statements, not actual things happening in the JjK verse. If Gege has Sukuna blow up a planet at EoS and someone says "that blast was comparable to a nuke!" we aren't going to make the blast city level. The actual event taking place takes precedence unless it's an outlier.
If an author also says “this arrow moves at the ‘speed of sound’ and showed that character A was blitzed by that arrow”, this means that the author all intent and contextual knowledge of that scene is that character A is not as fast as the arrow. Even if the author had drawn character A dodging an explosion before.If an author decides to draw a scene in which someone reacts to an explosion, then that is a concept they had in mind, regardless of their specific contextual knowledge of the scene.
Actually NOIf the author tries to claim the explosion was 50mph, and we see a regular explosion on screen, the author is wrong.
One time is an error, two times might be a mistake but three times is sure as hell enough for Gege statement about his characters’ speed to become valid(the law)pretend like a dozen feats don't exist because Gege made another mistake with his understanding of math and physics.
This is the main reason powerscaling is looked at so negatively.
Now we have to act as if the author is stupid and doesn't know what he is writing in his own story just to push fan calcs when Gege has already made things clear multiple times with statements in the manga.
Incorrect. If the author in question is comparing a planet nuking attack to a nuke that is comparable to the ones IRL, they are wrong. Not much else to say. That isn't to say the author can't have planet-level nukes in their fiction of course but those are two different scenarios.The statement from a narrator is different from a character in-verse, the character may very well be a 5 years old child or someone who knows nothing they are talking about and as much as I would hate to say this “it’s fiction nukes can be capable of anything the author wants”
No, if the character and people of his level have dodged explosions point blank before, then the arrow feat becomes an outlier. We literally have done this with several other verses recently such as the Flash and even One punch man, a series that is blatantly > sonic stuff, yet has characters who think that is somehow impressive.If an author also says “this arrow moves at the ‘speed of sound’ and showed that character A was blitzed by that arrow”, this means that the author all intent and contextual knowledge of that scene is that character A is not as fast as the arrow. Even if the author had drawn character A dodging an explosion before.
Every feat has author intent. When Gege shows Hikari reacting to lightning (that they painstakingly made sure was acting as real lightning) the intent is to show he can perceive lightning. When Tadano intercepts an explosion before it can reach Megumi who was <5m away, the point is that Tadano is fast enough to do such.The former feat has these
1. Author intent and knowledge
2. The feat itself which is character A unable to dodge the arrow
While the latter has
1. Just the feat
Obviously the author knows nothing about speed explosions travel.
No it wouldn't or it wouldn't be an explosion by literal definition. Once again, the author would be wrong.Actually NO
If the author said the explosion is 50mph then that’s what it is.
No? Where are you getting this from. And it's actually the opposite, based on YOUR logic, we have to downgrade a ton of verses that have incompatible statements of scalar quantities while ignoring feats, like the umpteen that have been listed in this thread.Unless you wish to downgrade any verse where they use regular guns and bullets and they are above wall level and supersonic speed.
Also you will have to downgrade any verse where an FTL character throws a punch or moves and he does not create a black hole.
All of the statements surround two techniques that were given sound speed because of the interaction between Choso and Naoya.One time is an error, two times might be a mistake but three times is sure as hell enough for Gege statement about his characters’ speed to become valid(the law)
And there are more than three statements/feats
What is **** waffling about.Incorrect. If the author in question is comparing a planet nuking attack to a nuke that is comparable to the ones IRL, they are wrong. Not much else to say. That isn't to say the author can't have planet-level nukes in their fiction of course but those are two different scenarios.

When Tadano intercepts an explosion before it can reach Megumi who was <5m away, the point is that Tadano is fast enough to do such.
Once again, feats are events that happen in the manga. We can call them outliers or lowballs, but they happened. Statements do not have this luxury and thus when inconsistent can be thrown out much easier.
The massive amount of speed evidence from the manga, and Gege's own admission show that sonic levels of speed are no where near the peak of reacitons/combat speed.
No it wouldn't or it wouldn't be an explosion by literal definition. Once again, the author would be wrong.
No? Where are you getting this from. And it's actually the opposite, based on YOUR logic, we have to downgrade a ton of verses that have incompatible statements of scalar quantities while ignoring feats, like the umpteen that have been listed in this thread.
And no, we already know the high end feats in fiction are not going to remain consistence across the board or else no LS characters could exist without setting off a destructive chain events by even moving 15 ft at that speed. This is a complete non-sequitur.
All of the statements surround two techniques that were given sound speed because of the interaction between Choso and Naoya.
This was preceded by several hypersonic feats.
This was followed by several hypersonic feats.
Gege has come out and recognized this discrepancy publicly and acknowledged the inconsistency.
So no, there is no law and we will continue to judge things based on the consistency of the verse. Which is no where near sonic level max for JjK
