Introduction
This is not me trying to be petty or mean to one specific verse I just noticed this verse has alot of problems with the calcs that scale the majority of the verseMe and KobsterHope talked this out for the most part on his walls however I want to finish what I started
This will just be me going through some of the higher end calcs and explaining the problems with them
Lets get started
Bomb Punch
This one has already been revised once but I still believe the size found is incorrectThe calc goes out of it's way trying tro find it's size in unconventional ways that favor a larger size, when we have a direct comparison with No. 8 in this panel right here
https://******************/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/08-31-722x1024.jpg
This panel suggests a much smaller size than the 100 meter diameter currently used
I'd also like to point out that this calc assumes flesh density when the monster making up this bomb are noted to be lightweight, the bomb floats in the air for a good several panels before Kafka hits it, and behaves like a inflated object when Kafka finally does hit it as you can see above.This makes me weary of treating this as a sphere completely full of flesh as the panels we see seem to suggest something different
Tokyo Quake
This calc is incorrect for one simple reason, the earthquake mentioned isn't even an earthquake, it's a sinkhole.The only affected area of the supposed magnitude 7-8 earthquake is the sinkhole, we see the buildings directly next to the sinkhole are completely unscathed from the quake.
As such the earthquake method of this calc should be disregarded
As for the actual destruction portion of this calc, this feat was done over an unspecified amount of time and by dozens of ants, not to mention this assumes they destroyed the entire area which is not the case as the buildings and land above caved in before the hole was formed.
So this too should be considered invalid
Isao Destroys a Skyscraper
This one really should have been noticed sooner considering pulverizing and entire Skyscraper only yields 10 kilotonsFirst the height used for the floor height is wrong as a curtain wall spans multiple floors and is larger than a single floor
Second for the initial material destruction he assumes that the building is almost entirely made of steel, Stainless Steel to be exact which is not the standard. Instead it should use a 1:5 Steel to Concrete ratio like we use in the common feats page and also use regular steel instead of stainless as skyscrapers do not use stainless steel as structural foundations for buildings.
Thirdly after finding the volume of the top portion of the building he does not subtract the giant hole he calculated earlier form the total volume, basically calculating the same feat twice and adding both results to each other.
Until these problems are fixed this calculation absolutely shouldn't be used
KN9 Human Form Explosion
The second half of the calculation uses the size of No. 9's explosion as the volume for a cone of rock.Needless to say No. 9 didn't pulverize a cone of rock that size and we have no reason to believe it could, in fact the direct aftermath shows quite the opposite with the ground being unaffected and only the surface buildings being wiped away.
Creating Holes in a Mountain
We have no reason to assume that these holes were vaporized and while the article does indeed state that meteorites and the immediately impacted material is mostly vaporized this is an oversimplification as this only occurs directly where the meteor impacted and shortly after melted dust and debri is ejected to form the larger crater.This is also disregarding that this was just the observation of some random hikers who just compared it to an impact crater and to assume they know the exact mechanics behind a meteor impact is a stretch.
Gigachad Mina Ashiro at Work
This one...Very simple, the ang-sizing used to find the size of the Kaiju uses a panel where the bullet is traveling to the Kaiju instead of actually from where it was fired
https://******************/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/07-5-1024x748.jpghttps://******************/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/08-5-701x1024.jpg
As you can see from where Mina is the Kaiju is completely invisible and so it can't be used.
Also about that found size
It's quite clear in the many panels we are given showing these Kaiju that they are nowhere near the multiple kilometer size that was found in the calc so the fact that this was overlooked is incredible
Kaiju No. 8's Transformation
This is not an explosion, this is just the Kaiju's sensing Kafka's transformation in the same way No. 9 did arcs earlier. We also get further confirmation as Kafka himself can sense the Dai-Kaiju in the other wards upon his transformation and the other Kaiju should be capable of similar sensing abilities.Also the fact that the immediate area he's standing in isn't completely atomized by this supposedly mountain level explosion is also good supporting evidence I guess
Kaiju No. 2's Main Burst
I left this one for last as this is the most debatableHere are the scans
It states that it nearly destroyed Sapporo but the timeframe it did this in is never specified and even the panel were given showing this still shows the city very much intact.
The main burst is noted to have "Devastated" the city which in many contexts just means to greatly damage
The fact that we see this attack used later on in chapter 51 with nowhere near the destructive capacity suggested in the calc also supports this
All that plus the fact that this attack would now be the strongest in the verse being 72x stronger than the next strongest attack (Done by the strongest Kaiju in the series btw) adds support to the notion that we should use the more conservative interpretation of this feat, that being that it caused great damage to Sapporo which can mean any number of things not that it litterly nuked the entire city off the map
That's all for now, there's a few more that I have problems with but they aren't used to scale the verse as of yet so I'll leave them out
