Part 1.
Hey everybody (again). Today we will be discussing Yu Yu Hakusho's earthquakes, and the many earthquakes we get throughout the series.
This thread will be here to see the yield of the Earthquakes that are stated to happen, or that actually happen throughout the series.
Let's begin
As it was stated, his usual rages on earth produce earthquakes and natural disasters, with his biggest being ones that embrace the heavens and the earth, aka Ningenkai and Reikai.
After Yusuke completed his task, his first statement was "better than earthquakes".
So an earthquake was quite literally about to happen.
Now his earthquake that Koenma says will happen has 2 statements that are extremely important.
First of all, it says that Mount Fuji would erupt. In itself, that is an insanely potent statement.
Earthquakes only affect Volcanoes and cause eruptions due to the movement and shifting of tectonic plates, which means that Total Seismic Energy is capable of being used in this scenario for King Enma's theoretical earthquake.
Now, the threat of his earthquake was stated to erupt Mt. Fuji.
The last earthquake to affect Mt. Fuji was an earthquake by the name of the 1707 Hōei Earthquake.
It took 49 days for Mt. Fuji to erupt after this event.
Koenma isn't implying that it'll take 49 days for his wrath to finish. He's actually implying that at the end of the week, he'll flat out cause huge mayhem, and although earthquakes are dangerous, he's implying much quicker destruction.
This would put the magnitude of his earthquake above the yield of the Hōei Earthquake.
With that in mind, Enma's Yield would be 1.383566e22 joules, or 3 Teratons.
Koenma's seal caused an earthquake that shook mountains and rustled trees to make its leaves fall.
This would probably be a magnitude 7 earthquake.
Until proven otherwise, nothing pointing towards Total Seismic Energy. This would use Radiated Energy, so it'd produce 1.995262e15 joules or 476.879063098 Kilotons.
This thread here explains the reasoning behind why Sensui's earthquake has a valid reasoning to be worldwide.
Now, I was informed that Sensui's earthquake had the potential to touch Magnitude 7, and from the reasoning here and here, it's plausible.
Sensui couldn't go all out in the Ningenkai. Shoot, he couldn't go 50%, because he would've destroyed the planet.
Heck, a bunch of C Class demons coming into the Ningenkai produced a violent earthquake that destroyed the cave.
Sensui saying he loves the ground and he doesn't want to destroy it definitely does imply something above "minor damage".
Sensui actually going all out destroyed the surrounding areas in the much sturdier Makai, producing tornadoes and much more.
Sensui should have a Magnitude 7 Earthquake based on the damage he would do to the environment if he went 50%.
Now, Total Seismic Energy is excessive. Nothing says he was actually going to manipulate the tectonic plates, and the radiated energy alone should be enough to do what he claimed.
His yield for a worldwide Magnitude 7 earthquake should be 33.7058734945178 Petatons because of that.
Koenma, 476.8 Kilotons.
Sensui, 33.7 Petatons.
Hey everybody (again). Today we will be discussing Yu Yu Hakusho's earthquakes, and the many earthquakes we get throughout the series.
This thread will be here to see the yield of the Earthquakes that are stated to happen, or that actually happen throughout the series.
Let's begin
King Enma
First, I will be tackling the first earthquake we ever hear about in the verse, the ones done by King Enma.As it was stated, his usual rages on earth produce earthquakes and natural disasters, with his biggest being ones that embrace the heavens and the earth, aka Ningenkai and Reikai.
After Yusuke completed his task, his first statement was "better than earthquakes".
So an earthquake was quite literally about to happen.
Now his earthquake that Koenma says will happen has 2 statements that are extremely important.
More Violent and Widespread Than The Great Kanto Earthquake
So first of all, the Great Kanto Earthquake was a huge earthquake that had a Moment Magnitude Ranging from 7.9 to 8.2. That's important because in order to find the earthquake yield, we need a lowballed value of the earthquake at that, so the lowest it can be is a value ranging from 7.9 to 8.2, maybe 8.05.Mt. Fuji May Well Erupt
This is an incredibly ignored statement, and this statement explains why his earthquakes are seismic energy, and this also explains the yield of the earthquake as well.First of all, it says that Mount Fuji would erupt. In itself, that is an insanely potent statement.
Earthquakes only affect Volcanoes and cause eruptions due to the movement and shifting of tectonic plates, which means that Total Seismic Energy is capable of being used in this scenario for King Enma's theoretical earthquake.
Now, the threat of his earthquake was stated to erupt Mt. Fuji.
The last earthquake to affect Mt. Fuji was an earthquake by the name of the 1707 Hōei Earthquake.
It took 49 days for Mt. Fuji to erupt after this event.
Koenma isn't implying that it'll take 49 days for his wrath to finish. He's actually implying that at the end of the week, he'll flat out cause huge mayhem, and although earthquakes are dangerous, he's implying much quicker destruction.
This would put the magnitude of his earthquake above the yield of the Hōei Earthquake.
What Does This Mean for Enma's Earthquake?
Enma's Earthquake would have a yield above the Hōei Earthquake with a magnitude of 8.7, and it should be capable of using Total Seismic Energy.With that in mind, Enma's Yield would be 1.383566e22 joules, or 3 Teratons.
Koenma
Pretty simple.Koenma's seal caused an earthquake that shook mountains and rustled trees to make its leaves fall.
This would probably be a magnitude 7 earthquake.
Until proven otherwise, nothing pointing towards Total Seismic Energy. This would use Radiated Energy, so it'd produce 1.995262e15 joules or 476.879063098 Kilotons.
Sensui
Now this is where everything falls into play.This thread here explains the reasoning behind why Sensui's earthquake has a valid reasoning to be worldwide.
Now, I was informed that Sensui's earthquake had the potential to touch Magnitude 7, and from the reasoning here and here, it's plausible.
Sensui couldn't go all out in the Ningenkai. Shoot, he couldn't go 50%, because he would've destroyed the planet.
Heck, a bunch of C Class demons coming into the Ningenkai produced a violent earthquake that destroyed the cave.
(Lemme quickly explain why I'm saying they're C Class)
Not even a horde, a small amount of C Class demons made an earthquake that violently shook the surrounding area.
A single B Class demon is superior to a horde of C Class Demons.
A single A Class demon is superior to a horde of B Class Demons.
A single S Class demon is superior to a horde of A Class Demons.
Sensui is S Class. His destruction should be superior to these dudes existing.
Sensui saying he loves the ground and he doesn't want to destroy it definitely does imply something above "minor damage".
Sensui actually going all out destroyed the surrounding areas in the much sturdier Makai, producing tornadoes and much more.
Sensui should have a Magnitude 7 Earthquake based on the damage he would do to the environment if he went 50%.
Now, Total Seismic Energy is excessive. Nothing says he was actually going to manipulate the tectonic plates, and the radiated energy alone should be enough to do what he claimed.
His yield for a worldwide Magnitude 7 earthquake should be 33.7058734945178 Petatons because of that.
Conclusion
Enma, 3 Teratons.Koenma, 476.8 Kilotons.
Sensui, 33.7 Petatons.
