JUJUTSU KAISEN SPEED DOWNGRADE CONT.

Not open for further replies.
I have no qualms with this aside from you need to calc the whole motion of his arc from hand to hand and not just the length of the bullets to his right hand. He still made the whole arc before any of the bullets made it passed.
What arc? It looks like he just opened 2 portals on his hands and let the cursed spirit inside cover the distance.

I calced the middle of the spirit, coincidentally the bullet was at the middle.
 
Only problem is the Geto length, as we see that his one arm is fully extended and additionally to that length he crossed the distance between his two shoulders. Doing rough calcs on my phone I get 118 m/s (still subsonic)
Can just say it's the full length of his arm, regardless it would barely be over twice the speed of the current one

Takaba casually intercepts an explosion post detonation

i think context for takaba needs to be given here. His CE output and speed increase when wanting to do something he considers funny, in accordance with his reality warping technique. This is how he both dodges and survives explosions. The scene of him saving Megumi is him trying to be funny in his own way, which lines up with dialogue he gives right after.

His technique literally warps reality so things will go exactly as they need to for his attempted comedy. As such nobody should be scaling to takaba, since he varies in stats from scene to scene.

The site has a standard regarding statements and how they are used for power scaling. The statement at hand the is that Naoya’s (curse) top speed had reached Mach 3, and that Naoya as a human was reaching speeds equal to sound, if not supersonic at his peak.

This character’s speed is being regarded as the faster than the majority, if not all other characters in the series. This statement would fall under Option 5.

  • Option 5: The author is the one calling the Green Knight indestructible outside of the story. As the previous option, this should be examined in the context of the story. A character being described as invincible, indestructible or all powerful in one setting might not be in the same position when compared to characters from other settings.

When taking statements, a character can be upgraded (in this case downgraded) off a statement compared to a criterion:

1) If the source of the statement is reliable?
The statement comes from the narrator (author) of the series, meaning it comes from the current most reliable source in the series. However, when we take a look into the author, we can find a few “hi-cups” in their reliability. The author has one previous occasion made claims such as the black flash being a ^2.5 increase in strength, falling to realize its ability limitations and admits to their “stupidity” being exposed. Not only that, but the ^2.5 increases fail to follow consistency with scaling, ultimately resulting in character reaching levels to great for the series. Another instance is with Gojo technique, they author has displayed their annoyance in explaining the technique due to not being able to do so properly, resulting in other staff and external mathematicians brought by the editor of the series to do so. The author themselves have shown to not be the best when it comes to math's, already lower creditability in that department.

Am I saying the author is completely unreliable, no. However, they have shown to not be completely accurate at times and should be double checked before assuming they are correct.

2) If the statement conflicts with the story or feats of the character?

This one is a big yes. Throughout the series, characters have shown feats and inconsistencies towards the idea of human Naoya being sound/supersonic and his cursed self being Mach 3 at their peaks. To start of the list:

Maki’s bullet feats- Early on in the series Maki displays feats of catching a bullet that is mere inches from her face, being quick enough, sweep it aside, resulting in Supersonic to High Hypersonic speeds. Her ability to respond and move at speeds faster than sound and Mach 3 is demonstrated by this early in the series.

Not only that, Maki reacts to bullets that are being fired at her from close range (not point blank) at Supersonic speeds, even after correcting for correct bullet speeds in the other calculation (220-360 m/s). Additionally, there are previous instances in which she splits a bullet in two from point blank ranges and potentially avoids being hit from point blank again. Ranges closer than the feat.

Another feat is Sukuna's (3 fingers) feat of blitzing Megumi resulting in Supersonic+ speeds. This feat is important as this same Sukuna is what Toji speed is referred to be comparable if not faster than, which while still slower, Megumi while on guard in Shibuya was able to still react and dodge to him. Showing Shibuya characters in at least in the Supersonic+ ranges. Sukuna’s (15 finger) feat results in him reaching Hypersonic+ levels of speed, another feat above Mach 3.

Fumihiko Takaba's jump into the path of an explosion to halt it, which resulted in speeds of High Hypersonic, is another accomplishment depicted in the series. This would increase the number of feats for above sound.

Yuji dodging Piercing Blood (PB) is another feat that showcases speeds greater than the sound. Piercing Blood is an attack that exceeds the speed of sound, while viz says reaches the speed of sound, it has been shown to be an incorrect translation, viz holds the status of butchering translation in the series. For the Piercing Blood there is a calculation placing it at Hypersonic+ reactions.

The attack is regarded as "fast in the beginning" by Yuji, initially implying it to slow down after it’s been fired. However, I believe this is not case. When taking account, the situation. The two mentions of the attack, both mention its speed surpassing sound with one only mentioning it being slow, this would be a significant feature to mention until you look at the situation. The only instance of Piercing Blood being regarded as slower later is in the fight with Choso where Yuji was attacked with the PB initially only to be followed by a secondary slash attack with the PB beam, were after experiencing them both Yuji referrers to the PB beam as the initial fast aspect, while the slash would be the slower aspect with the attack. The part of it initially surpassing sound its base speed, which can be increased as the guidebook states. Coupled by the fact that it being slowed down or slower than before is never mentioned ever besides the one time Yuji was attacked by a two attack combo, suggests my interpretation has some validity.

To give the benefit of the doubt if it slows down after it’s been fired, there is no known rate of how fast it decelerates, which leads to only assumptions. Even if you assume it be half the speed of sound (171.5 m/s) or even 1/10 of sound (34.3 m/s) would still result in supersonic reactions from Yuji. Yuji would also gain Supersonic perception from seeing it initially being faster than sound.

Hakari (Infinite Mode) has shown to dodge lightning at point blank ranges, resulting in Massively Hypersonic+ results. While Hakari is a Top Tier-God Tier that scales above almost everybody else Human Naoyo, who is regarded to be the fastest along Naobito in the whole JJK Association, besides Gojo (faster than everyone besides Gojo), is supposedly only sound/supersonic at his top speed. This same lightning feat also had a science advisor overseeing and helping it accuracy to be lightning. The same feat lowballed heavily to electricity speeds produces Mach 6 results, still above Mach 3.

Other feats included in the series that showcase such as the Hand attack by Chojuro Zenin reaching Transonic speed, and Hanami’s tree expansion reaching Supersonic speeds. Furthering the idea of characters being in the sound Mach ranges and not below it significantly.

Kamo manages to dodge react and block Naoya’s (curse) attack resulting in Supersonic speeds. This feat is funny as it happens in the fight with Naoya (curse) where he himself acknowledges Naobito (by extension human Naoya) as the fastest sorcerers, where he gets blitz by cursed womb Naoya who would be Supersonic, but reacts the complete and faster Naoya, without any amps or help.

Essentially a character who believes the fastest characters are sound/supersonic, gets blitz by a supersonic character, only for him to react and block a faster version of that character at point blank without an increase of speed.

Another instance of characters being in the sound/supersonic are that happens early on in the series Juzo perceiving and block sound attacks, showing relativity to those speeds, yet faster characters in later arcs are supposedly perception blitz by Sound-Mach 3 speeds.

Uraume reacts to Piercing Blood and at point blank ranges, and managing to block the attack. Pretty simple

Naoya (human) while going at casual speeds blitz Choso and Yuji, the same Yuji who is able to perceive the initial supersonic speeds of piercing blood, and even states to be able to up his speed. This same Naoya while still casual is running circles around Choso who increased his visual acuity to perceive faster and dodges PB from close ranges, although is only sound/supersonic when going all out.

There are also other feats such as Geto (Kenjaku) reacting and blocking to sniper fire only after the bullet has travelled close to him, and young Geto blocking bullets shoot at him from relatively close ranges.

The misc. arguments are ones that aren’t concrete although potentially can be used.

Characters like Yuji (beginning or Series) and lesser Zenin members are capable of going subsonic speeds, with the difference from sound being only roughly 2 times less.

The sound users in the series aren’t treated as extreme opponents and are not even regarded for the attack speeds, while rivalling the fastest characters.

Sukuna (1 finger) is perception blitzing a curse spirit, who is able to perception blitz Beginning of Series Megumi and Yuji.

3) If the statement is only valid in the context of its setting, or if it holds up in comparison with other settings?

As shown by the aforementioned feats and inconsistencies, the statement does not hold up in the setting or story. A previous statement used to justify it states the Naoya (Human) had already surpassed subsonic speeds. Key word: Already (past tense). The statement states that in their battle Naoya had already surpassed subsonic speeds and is greatly increasing speed as fight goes on, causing trouble for a worn out and wounded Maki. In the same recent chapters Maki herself says that she needs to prep for at speed of sound, yet while worn and wounded is able to count a faster than subsonic Naoya’s movements and even turn and punch a full speed Naoya before he could hit her. She also reacts to cursed womb Naoya and states he is move at supersonic speeds. She also manages to keep up with supersonic Naoya, yet is scared of him going as fast as sound.

I believe this show enough evidence that the current statements regarding speed of sound to Mach 3 speeds for the fastest JJK characters is inconsistent. While the author is the most reliable source, they have made mistakes, furthermore feats and other showings throughout the series shows that characters have plenty of moments contradicting the proposed speeds, with contradictory moments in the setting of said statements.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Continued from this thread

There are quite a few problems on the speed pages aside from the value, we have a scaling that does not make sense,
for example, this is Yuji's speed justification
Current speeds are outdated, that's true.

But the problem here is that, aside from the issues with the calc such as using 445m/s for a rubber bullet speed, the Author has repeatedly put a cap on Maki's speed, A maki who is far faster than the one in the calc, on quite a few occasions, the most recent one been; she stating that she needs to prepare before she can react to something coming at her at speed of sound and then in a few panels later, she got blitzed by a Mach 3 speed, which was coming at her from quite a distance I should add, such thing calculated will result in barely subsonic reactions.
This first part is inherently false. The rubber bullet speed is not 445m/s, this is from the original calc that used real bullet speed before issues, the new rubber bullet speed was 220m/s and the new real bullet speed was 360 m/s.

The other part is correct, there is a disconnect between feats/showings and statements/implications within the series which is why this whole feats contradict the statement is happening.

Here is a compiled post of stated in-verse speeds for the characters by @KingTempest
  1. Hanami's buds couldn't travel a close distance in 0.01 seconds. That's not hypersonic.
  2. 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..
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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".
  8. He gets to Mach 3.
  9. In the new chapter He is stated to be faster than anything Kamo has seen
  10. Not just that, Going at speeds like Mach 3 would destroy someone of durability like Naoya when he is not curled up, effectively meaning anyone who has the same durability as Naoya or a durability lower than Naoya cannot move at such speed. (So yes they get the Naruto Heavenly Transfer Technique durability cap treatment).
There is not much that I have to say that others haven't already mentioned in this and previous thread. However, I would like to cover some aspects to this that I feel need to.

5. Scans aren't loading up and goes to a not found page.

10. For two reasons, the durability argument is invalid. The first is that the entire durability obtained from speed would be subject to the kinetic energy formula, which is impossible because it calls for mass. It is difficult to know because Naoya is no longer human and has a completely different shape, different proportions, and is constructed of materials that aren't actually known. Second, adding human mass would produce wall-level durability, which is drastically opposed by calculations as well as on-screen deconstruction.

I wanted to try and list out possible counter arguments, but then I realized the OP actually has none, the possible counter arguments comes from other calculated feat in the series that are controversial and that has been mostly contested and addressed in the first thread, but nonetheless there are calcs like this that are simply invalid and I notice some of the JJK calcs are like that

i. It makes no sense for Kamo to be Supersonic and faster than Naoya, if he himself thinks he is inferior to Naoya
ii. Naoya only moves at Speed of sound and Mach 3 when he charges up, making the calc in itself invalid
iii. Authors don't always draw to scale especially when Maki said in the next panel that she is slower than Naoya who needs to charge up to reach such speed.
iv. simply like author saying; "Character A cannot be as fast as a light beam, then we have character A dodge a light beam" then fans calculated Character A to be 2 times FTL in the same chapter, using the in-verse statement about the light beam while ignoring the fact that he said that he is not as fast as a light beam.
i. Congrats you found an inconsistency within the series. You are right, if characters were below mach/sound it shouldn't. This feat also comes directly in the same fight these statements are coming from, showing a further disconnect with feats and statements. this is why feats > statements are being argued.

ii. Even lowering to sound give supersonic results. No change there.

iii. According to this logic, nothing can ever be calced, hence no feat should ever be calculated. Even so, the authors would still have a general concept of scale when it comes to feats; for example, the author would know that it would be impossible to avoid a sound attack that was two inches from your face and for them to be slower than subsonic speeds. The idea of statements and feats contradict for this reason.

iv. As was previously stated, this would run contrary to their ideas because within power scaling showings feats often go hand in hand with one another, but problems arise when one deviates from the other. Due to the fact that feats really depict the events rather than just stating them, they frequently overcome in debates about which to use.

Another example of this type of calc is Yuuji's Piercing blood calcs that places him 11 times faster than the attack itself, an attack that he considers fast and could barely dodge on a few occasions.
Most of the other calcs, take characters speed in the verse and other character blitzing them, but there are a few valid calcs such as Gojo's dodging explosions and possibly Hakari's lightning feat, but that itself is been contested and I have seen four different calcs for it, MHS+, MHS, Hypersonic and Subsonic.
Already outlined by others in the previous thread and I believe here as well.

Since literally all the characters except Gojo and Sukuna speed revolves around Maki(a much weaker maki), here is a calc of Maki's bullet dodge which is consistent with the narrative.
This first part has been addressed in the previous thread on why the calc is faulty.
Problem with the calc is the bullet speed as it mentions it uses 60 m/s of riot gun 37-mm M201-Z, which for the record looks like this. Its like firing a sniper but using BB gun bullet speeds, it not comparable. While using the 220 m/s speeds which are more accurate would give.

Method 1:
3.50633/220=0.01593786363
0.86515/0.01593786363= 54.2826830549 Subsonic

Method 2:
0.047/220=0.00021363636

Moving head down speed: 0.12887/0.00021363636= 603.221286863 (Mach 1.7) Supersonic

Moving head to the side speed: 0.074143/0.00021363636= 347.052346333 (Mach 1.01) Supersonic

Considering the calcer also states that method 2 is more reliable and is the most accurate based on the scene that is the one that should be used. Also this same calc was compared to Dr._whiteee's calc (aforementioned one with the 220) in the previous thread with Dr._whiteee's being more reliable.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This feat is subsonic
Outlined before, calc is good besides the Geto blocking distance which, still just ends with subsonic results.

Can just say it's the full length of his arm, regardless it would barely be over twice the speed of the current one

Also
This one is fine.

This one is faulty:

Problem 1) The calc is using the full distance between between characters when the feat happen much closer as shown in the image of "partial feat"

Problem 2) "Ratio" the pixels between to different panels that would utilize different and perspective is not a accurate way to calculate number/distance, effectively making results inaccurate. Would be like using the same pixel sizes for a far off image on a close up.

Here is a fixed version of the calc.

 
I won't tackle everything else cause my job is just to calc the "Supersonic" feats, but here's the ones I have issues with, responses to me and the headass ones
Not only that, Maki reacts to bullets that are being fired at her from close range (not point blank) at Supersonic speeds, even after correcting for correct bullet speeds in the other calculation (220-360 m/s). Additionally, there are previous instances in which she splits a bullet in two from point blank ranges and potentially avoids being hit from point blank again. Ranges closer than the feat.
What is the proof that these bullets move this fast?
Yuji dodging Piercing Blood (PB) is another feat that showcases speeds greater than the sound. Piercing Blood is an attack that exceeds the speed of sound, while viz says reaches the speed of sound, it has been shown to be an incorrect translation, viz holds the status of butchering translation in the series.

Yuji would also gain Supersonic perception from seeing it initially being faster than sound.
No.

#1 Yuji isn't faster than Piercing Blood, much less 11x faster than Piercing Blood
#2 Your own translation says
The initial speed of the blood enhanced by the spell exceeds the speed of sound
And now it doesn't get slower?
Kamo manages to dodge react and block Naoya’s (curse) attack resulting in Supersonic speeds. This feat is funny as it happens in the fight with Naoya (curse) where he himself acknowledges Naobito (by extension human Naoya) as the fastest sorcerers, where he gets blitz by cursed womb Naoya who would be Supersonic, but reacts the complete and faster Naoya, without any amps or help.

Essentially a character who believes the fastest characters are sound/supersonic, gets blitz by a supersonic character, only for him to react and block a faster version of that character at point blank without an increase of speed.
You guys irritate me with the fact that you can't comprehend that some calcs go against canon.
This means that Kamo canonically cannot be faster than Naoya, yet there's a calc that says he's faster and you guys are acting like Gege himself made it.
Another instance of characters being in the sound/supersonic are that happens early on in the series Juzo perceiving and block sound attacks, showing relativity to those speeds, yet faster characters in later arcs are supposedly perception blitz by Sound-Mach 3 speeds.
Nothing says this moves at the speed of sound. He's not shooting sound, he's shooting cursed energy.
This is like saying curses move at the speed of thought because they're produced from the negative thoughts of others.
Uraume reacts to Piercing Blood and at point blank ranges, and managing to block the attack. Pretty simple
She had half a dozen meters to react, so stop saying she reacted at point blank ranges when she watched the attack get fired 6 meters away.
Naoya (human) while going at casual speeds blitz Choso and Yuji, the same Yuji who is able to perceive the initial supersonic speeds of piercing blood, and even states to be able to up his speed. This same Naoya while still casual is running circles around Choso who increased his visual acuity to perceive faster and dodges PB from close ranges, although is only sound/supersonic when going all out.
Perception ≠ Reactions. Superseding reaction ≠ Superseding perception
There are also other feats such as Geto (Kenjaku) reacting and blocking to sniper fire only after the bullet has travelled close to him, and young Geto blocking bullets shoot at him from relatively close ranges.
That's a lie because you never see the bullet in comparison to him, and Geto's calc is subsonic, shit was never "relatively close ranges".
The misc. arguments are ones that aren’t concrete although potentially can be used.

Characters like Yuji (beginning or Series) and lesser Zenin members are capable of going subsonic speeds, with the difference from sound being only roughly 2 times less.

The sound users in the series aren’t treated as extreme opponents and are not even regarded for the attack speeds, while rivalling the fastest characters.

Sukuna (1 finger) is perception blitzing a curse spirit, who is able to perception blitz Beginning of Series Megumi and Yuji.
The lesser Zenin members calculation is bullshit. We don't do "faster than the reader's eyesight".
iii. According to this logic, nothing can ever be calced, hence no feat should ever be calculated. Even so, the authors would still have a general concept of scale when it comes to feats; for example, the author would know that it would be impossible to avoid a sound attack that was two inches from your face and for them to be slower than subsonic speeds. The idea of statements and feats contradict for this reason.
No, the ****, they don't.

Why are you assuming that these authors hold the general concept of scale when it comes to feats,
then you ignore their statements about the characters' speeds?
iv. As was previously stated, this would run contrary to their ideas because within power scaling showings feats often go hand in hand with one another, but problems arise when one deviates from the other. Due to the fact that feats really depict the events rather than just stating them, they frequently overcome in debates about which to use.
What?
Already outlined by others in the previous thread and I believe here as well.
No, it hasn't been.

All yall said is that "calcs can be calcs"
This one is faulty:

Problem 1) The calc is using the full distance between between characters when the feat happen much closer as shown in the image of "partial feat"
That isn't a problem. That's the full feat.
Problem 2) "Ratio" the pixels between to different panels that would utilize different and perspective is not a accurate way to calculate number/distance, effectively making results inaccurate. Would be like using the same pixel sizes for a far off image on a close up.

Here is a fixed version of the calc.

This is useless
All you did was put a numerical value behind it.

The proportion is saying "as sound moves this much, Uraume moves this much". Deadass if I used the head like you did, it'd make no difference at all.
 
Why do you keep failing to realize that we are saying the Naoya stuff is inconsistent and, therefore should be disregarded? You can't use that shit as evidence against our claims. This is like the 50th time you've tried to use this circular logic.

Also Idk why you guys keep pointing to subsonic and sonic shit like that helps your argument.

You literally just spent how long going off on "You can be slower then a bullet and still react! Look! Getou is only subsonic because he reacted from 4 meters away!"

Yet you think Maki being being blitzed by mach 3 from hundreds of meters away means that subsonic feats from mid and high tiers somehow makes sense?

You're literally arguing against your own scaling. If you believe Naoya's sound statements to be legit then literally no one outside of Noaya and god tiers are even remotely at the sonic level.

You didn't even read the damn argument.

Not once did I say anything about Naoya and sound.

I said KAMO CANNOT BE FASTER THAN NAOYA.

Read the argument and stop nitpicking one word replies

Missing the point.

Kamo who is <<< Maki should not even be able to react to Naoya, let alone actually react to him as he's done multiple times in this fight. Nothing necessitates that Kamo can't have reaction speed around Naoya given the projections sorcery is about movement speed and we clearly see him react to Naoya.

So your own scaling and the feats you are trying to use are not internally consistent with themselves.

This shows you just how inconsistent is Gege is within the chapters themselves.

Do I care about reaction speed? No. I never said I did.

The calculation has Kamo MOVING FASTER THAN NAOYA.

Stop talking about reactions.

oh my god

yall just don't know how to independently scale

When you are calculating somebody BLOCKING, that is combat speed. Reaction speed is like a small head motion for looking at an attack, not BLOCKING.

No, you are literally wrong. You have to string multiple reactionary movements together to qualify as combat speed. Moving your ******* head and bringing your hand up to block are both movements and what we consider reactions. Stop being dense.

When has BLOCKING WITH FULL BODY HAND MOTIONS been REACTION SPEED.

How long have you been on this wiki to say that that is reaction speed?
 
i thought i explained kamo

the calc leads off a false premise

0193-010.png


0193-011.png


Maki is saying the last time she fought Naoya, his max acceleration was faster than sound. We dont know what speed Naota punched Kano at.
 
Anyways, Kamo can't be faster than Naoya

While looking at a slower Naoya, it blitzed both Maki and Kamo's reactions, with him exclaiming that he couldn't even see anything.
After Naoya repeatedly blitzes Maki and she says he's "so fast".

Only reason why Kamo keeps up for as long as he does is because he can sense him.

Naoya calls Kamo's arrows too slow.

Kamo later says that even before he fully transformed, as a cursed womb he was already super fast.

Kamo has no reason to scale to Naoya, and all of his feats of superior reaction to his noticeable speed should be marked as outliers.
 
Problem 1) The calc is using the full distance between between characters when the feat happen much closer as shown in the image of "partial feat"
You're failing to recognize Uraume's hands already being up when the panel of piercing blood is in front of him meaning he had already moved his hands to defend prior to that panel.

I am going to show you how the scene plays out

Choso then finishes Piercing Blood, which took long enough for Kamo to say two words

0135-004.png

Uraume has had at least a second or two to properly put his hands up and prepare for such an attack.

So using the distance of his hands to piercing blood's tip is just wrong for him blocking when we already see his hands in panel in motion of blocking, he would have started raising his hands to block prior to the panel which invalidates the use of closer distance.

Nevermind

Apparently this is now reaction speed
The calcs tie into combat speed as the characters move their arms to block and punch and react to one another in combat, IDK why the feat being reaction matters if it ends up being incorporated into combat speed.
 
i thought i explained kamo

the calc leads off a false premise

Maki is saying the last time she fought Naoya, his max acceleration was faster than sound. We dont know what speed Naota punched Kano at.
Naoya was able to do much better casually against Maki in his cursed spirit form compared to when he was alive (and not at max speed). Which would place him around sonic speed given that Maki states he had been approaching said speeds before even powering up to his max IIRC.
 
thats an assumption

naoya's speed depends entirely on acceleration, as it varies on that factor

the dialogue in 193 suggests he hadnt hit speed of sound or faster acceleration, as maki hypothesizes that would be the speed he was going to bull rush them at (she was wrong because he included the binding vow that let him hit mach 3)

When he punches kamo prior, there isnt any shown acceleration, nor a sonic boom (human naoya made a sonic boom when hitting top speed form accelerating for a while)
 
What is the proof that these bullets move this fast?
Determined in the previous thread which is linked in the other feat, this was made prior to it and so as mentioned even using the new numbers gets supersonic results.

No.

#1 Yuji isn't faster than Piercing Blood, much less 11x faster than Piercing Blood
#2 Your own translation says
Great job!! Man with words.

Him displaying this feat says otherwise and regardless of that point Yuji is still reacting to it point blank.

To repeat what is written "The attack is regarded as "fast in the beginning" by Yuji, initially implying it to slow down after it’s been fired. However, I believe this is not case". The idea is that the beam attack is the fast aspect while the slashing aspect after is the slower part, not that decreases in speed, Yuji regards the beam the "initially fast" part. With the attack being stated to surpass sound and no other mention of its slowing down feature, coupled with the fact in got faster after being fired at Uraume suggest this idea to hold merit. Even so, assuming drastic decreases still result in reaction speeds contradicting mach scaling.

You guys irritate me with the fact that you can't comprehend that some calcs go against canon.
This means that Kamo canonically cannot be faster than Naoya, yet there's a calc that says he's faster and you guys are acting like Gege himself made it.
THAT IS WHAT IS CALLED AN INCONSISTENCY!!! characters doing things that they are supposedly not able to, it's almost like this entire argument is about, wow. Gege drew that shit, obviously they made it.

Nothing says this moves at the speed of sound. He's not shooting sound, he's shooting cursed energy.
This is like saying curses move at the speed of thought because they're produced from the negative thoughts of others.
The attack is produced through a method of playing a guitar that, a device that plays sound, the attack is referred to as sound, and Juzo uses words such as amplifier in regards to sounds capabilities. Sound attack = speed of sound

This is a false equivalency as it is complete different examples, curses materialize a form but a made of thoughts. Not a good one

She had half a dozen meters to react, so stop saying she reacted at point blank ranges when she watched the attack get fired 6 meters away.
They're not half a dozen meters when the attack accelerates past sound. They would from that point be reacting and combating that speed. Not the other way around.

Perception ≠ Reactions. Superseding reaction ≠ Superseding perception
Perception and reaction go hand in hand. To react to something you need to perceive it, only in examples where perception is definitively outline greater than reaction is that they don't scale to each other.

That's a lie because you never see the bullet in comparison to him, and Geto's calc is subsonic, shit was never "relatively close ranges".
Maki fires a regular sniper bullet -> Kenjaku notices that the bullet is approaching him at closes ranges as he didn't notice it earlier -> Stops in his tracks and creates a shield with a curse. The bullet being in comparison with him.

You do realizes that anything within the subsonic zone is not a good look for the Mach scaling as the characters are allegedly "scared of subsonic speeds" too. The idea of Mach scaling existing would result in everyone being superhuman. Plus that is a relatively close range, just because results.

The lesser Zenin members calculation is bullshit. We don't do "faster than the reader's eyesight".
There's a reason its in the misc. section, which I outlined previously in the last thread or thread before. The feat is allegedly accepted but I have not seen any calc member acceptation. Hence its a misc., a maybe valid. This is my for not making it clearer. although, subsonic is not good.

No, the ****, they don't.

Why are you assuming that these authors hold the general concept of scale when it comes to feats,
then you ignore their statements about the characters' speeds?
Because they are the author/artist of the series, they are responsible for the representation of the story and feats in them. They have to take certain concept of scale to accurately portray them. However, when that isn't the case and there are multiple times they don't it creates inconsistencies.

Showings and feats often go hand in hand with one another, but problems arise when one deviates from the other. Due to the fact that feats really depict the events rather than just stating them, they frequently overcome in debates about which to use. It's like having a character be stated to be below light, and them having rel speeds, good. now if you have a character stated below light then have ftl feats or scale to things that are ftl it creates inconsistencies.

No, it hasn't been.

All yall said is that "calcs can be calcs"
Its been outlined that the feat with in the calc is Yuji dodges the attack point blank, resulting in reactions and speeds that are not consistent with the idea of Mach scaling. The calc is showing the value result of the feat.

That isn't a problem. That's the full feat.

This is useless
All you did was put a numerical value behind it.

The proportion is saying "as sound moves this much, Uraume moves this much". Deadass if I used the head like you did, it'd make no difference at all.
That is just untrue. The feat is that Uraume responds and deflects an attack that is coming towards him at faster than sound speeds. Your calculation implies it was initially quicker than sound, which is visually incorrect because it accelerating past sound in front of their face (not in the beginning... interesting). Instead of just "ratio-ing" pixels from two distinct panels with very differing sizes, this new calculation employs numerical values to get a more accurate result. It makes advantage of the feat's demonstration. The numerical numbers are used to depict the distance and timeframe. The idea of "as sound moves this much, Uraume moves this much," sound or objects moving at sound speed would travel within the calculated timeframe between the attack and Uraume's hand blocking it. This would require characters to actively react within that timeframe in order to block the attack. Additionally, the attack was visibly demonstrated to be speeding rather than slowing down, which would mean that Uraume's first reactions are not equal to it breaking sound, as they would need to be equivalent to those of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
You didn't even read the damn argument.

Not once did I say anything about Naoya and sound.

I said KAMO CANNOT BE FASTER THAN NAOYA.

Read the argument and stop nitpicking one word replies
He SHOULDN'T be faster yet he displays that he is. The problem is you not being able to acknowledge inconsistencies. Kamo blocking should be the case but he does it.

oh my god

yall just don't know how to independently scale

When you are calculating somebody BLOCKING, that is combat speed. Reaction speed is like a small head motion for looking at an attack, not BLOCKING.

The time frame. the timeframe is the reaction capabilities within a combat feat, every combat feat that has a timeframe requires that those characters react with in it to perform the feats, while usually not the highlight of the calc it is still there. perceiving the events with in a feat is reaction, as mentioned before perception and reaction go hand in hand, without perceiving you won't be able to react, unless specifically outlined perception is greater than reaction.
Nevermind

Apparently this is now reaction speed
Always has, its been a part of this debate from the beginnig.
Anyways, Kamo can't be faster than Naoya

While looking at a slower Naoya, it blitzed both Maki and Kamo's reactions, with him exclaiming that he couldn't even see anything.
After Naoya repeatedly blitzes Maki and she says he's "so fast".

Only reason why Kamo keeps up for as long as he does is because he can sense him.

Naoya calls Kamo's arrows too slow.

Kamo later says that even before he fully transformed, as a cursed womb he was already super fast.

Kamo has no reason to scale to Naoya, and all of his feats of superior reaction to his noticeable speed should be marked as outliers.
Damn... this man really can't understand a inconsistency. i don't think it warrants repeating after being done so over two threads. smh

It doesn't fail, it activity recognizes that they are up, as it it using the distance from their position in the panel and not from their sides. As said before, the feat is that Uraume reacts to an attack coming at them faster than sound and blocks it. Instead of commencing at six metres distant, it accelerates quicker than sound directly in front of Uraume's face. Uraume reacting to its speed at the point its been fired and in being faster than sound is not equal, as they would need to be equivalent to those of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound at the time it did. The feat being reaction matters as it traversing the distance between them Uraume, would need reactions as calculated in the hypersonic reactions, otherwise Uraume would not be able to block it.
 
No way your entire argument was "he shouldn't be faster but he is".

That isn't an inconsistency on my part, multiple statements of his speed being ridiculously higher and Kamo flat out getting blitzed means that Naoya is faster.

The few times that Kamo reacted to his slower speed isn't gonna take precedence over the more consistent part, that Naoya is faster than Kamo.
 
Feel like even if we accepted Naoya's speed in base as sos or higher, Kamo's reaction to it would be an outlier as previously the cursed womb form Naoya blitzed Kamo as he couldn't see him, then we get Kamo needing to prepare a counter for sos. So the feat very well is just an outlier as it does not line up with what is portrayed for Kamo.
 
Since common sense won't prove to you all this and I refuse to be your teacher, I'll ignore all the headassery.

Yuji's hypersonic calc is wrong.

Yuji had all those meters to react. You don't calc reactions by the distance the projectile was when you started to move, you calc reactions by the total distance.

I even tried this here and it got declined.

So remove this calc from the "consistency" list.
 
I even tried this here and it got declined.
Reading this we would basically need to prove the characters were always able to perceive the movement of the projectile right? Seems logical but I feel it ignores the overall feat of reacting to something upclose which is usually how characters are shown to be fast, prime example Minato and Raikage
 
Can we actually get other calc members to look over the way of calcing these feats since this'll never end if it's just us here.

Not even.

For the calcs to work, you would calc the distance when they started looking at the projectile. From there on, that's where you get perception speed.

I'm confused, so when they started looking at the projectile, when it's closer up is what u mean?

No, when it's fired and they watched it get fired.

AKA, when Yuji watches Piercing Blood leave Choso's hands
 
What about the distance between them when it's closer? Doesn't something being closer make the feat greater?
No, because I tried it.

Yuji first started looking at it when it left Choso's hands. He fully perceived it when it got close, and then he started to move.

But he's been looking at it since it was at Choso's hands, so the distance used would be the distance between Yuji and Choso, not Yuji and the Piercing Blood after it's a few cm away from his face
 
i thought i explained kamo

Maki is saying the last time she fought Naoya, his max acceleration was faster than sound. We dont know what speed Naota punched Kano at.
Not true. Its talking about the cursed womb Naoya. VIZ leaves out mentioning him as a cursed womb, as seen in the other translation mentions it as well as the raws.

Raws (copied of google translate): ようたい幼体で音速超えてたろそれ以上ってことだれんぞくこいじょ

google translates: It's a young body and it's faster than the speed of sound.

DeepL: I mean, you've already exceeded the speed of sound in your body as a juvenile, so what's to say you won't go faster than that, you know?

ImTranslator: It ’s a young body and it exceeded the speed of sound.

Oh so this is for perception speed but not for movement speed yeah? Like Yuji's perception is able to see it leave choso's hand but his movement speed?

W. Guess my assumption of curse naoya was right.
