Honestly, I'm curious about where we even got the equation for groundburst explosions anyways. I couldn't find any links or sources to figure that part out.

What makes you think we need to lower the PSI of Bakugo's explosions? They can destroy rocks, reinforced concrete and steel.
- 11,559
- 10,996
Not all explosions destroyed buildings and I think we dont follow what is most often in the series, but only what is shown in the feat itself
I could be wrong tho

Looking at the chart wouldn’t that warrant a PSI of 9 rather than 20?
- 9,682
- 8,734
Even Bakugo's smallest explosions can destroy Villain Bots that can break through reinforced concrete completely undamaged.
All important calcs related to Bakugo's explosions are either airburst calculations or where we can see considerable amounts of rock being destroyed.
- 11,559
- 10,996
Thats the point. I don't know if we use what is more common in the series or just what is shown in the feat. But I really don't believe we should use 20 PSI for any explosion, especially as most show a very small level of destruction despite the size
- 9,682
- 8,734
Small levels of destruction? Bakugo's explosions during the Sports Festival pulverized at least 3 tons of Uraraka's meteor shower and collapsed hundreds if not thousands of tons of ice from Shoto's ice wall.
During the third movie his largest explosion shattered the mountainside and the fireball can be seen breaking up the rocky ground as it approaches the front of the screen.

This is not a proof that every explosion must use 20 PSI. There are some that don't even destroy the ground; would you use 20 PSI in this case? (A feat that we currently calculate as High 8-C)
What I am saying is that each explosion feat should be analyzed case by case, and not make 20 PSI the definitive value for any attack
Okay?

Agreed. We should analyze each explosion feat carefully and determine the PSI by how much damage the explosion caused.

I listed those explosions precisely because those are the ones we are currently using for our ratings.

I can try and find an actual value for the rocks if you'd like?
It's literally the size of a small nuclear blast why tf would it not use at LEAST 20 psi
- 11,559
- 10,996
We used this one, which the best thing it did was fragment concrete. I know you are using the airburst method, but I honestly don't see why. The epicenter of the explosion is Bakugou's hand. Its not an explosion created in mid-air. Baku's hand would be the "ground" in this case
As well this one. Apparently there is only concrete being fragmented
This one, that as far as I can see, there is no destruction
And this, where Bakugou just destroyed ice
Probably theres more, idk
Tell me, where the **** did I talk about this specific feat? Never have said that Bakugou can't create explosions with 20 PSI

Using the blog's criteria, his really big ones were able to pulverize concrete pretty thoroughly. With his gauntlet explosion from chapter 8 being around 42 kilos of TNT. And his one from the Final Exam being 140+ kg of TNT.
Haven't really had the time to run numbers on his one from the Sports Festival though.

5% stated to be a small boost in power yet base Deku can’t destroy concrete 
. 5% failed to destroy a couch https://ibb.co/rGQR12K
and Bakugo was harmed by a slam that didn’t even fragment the ground

Hey why the sugar quirk guys not develop diabetes?

It’s most likely due to their genetics adapting with their quirks to prevent it, it’s the same as to asking why Stain or Toga haven’t gotten any diseases or infections and get an iron overload from drinking so much blood from other people and die from it.

My Hero Academia: Deku destroys a wall
vsbattles.fandom.com
Even if we ignore that the wall was pulverized at (8%?) deku has a good pair of feats destroying concrete in the Overhaul arc
Which makes it kind of odd that Horikoshi implies that Mirio can't do the same
- 4,940
- 1,841
I just assumed ofa AP was much higher than it’s durability.
- 235
- 115
idk, the idea of the OFA percentages isn't presented as a point where Deku can support his own strength without breaking? How does that work if we assume that Deku's resistance at 8% is lower than his own AP ?
I mean, even if we ignore Deku, Mirio easily defeated Kirishima, who can take hits from people as strong as him (Tetsuo), and he also breaks walls in that arc.
- 4,940
- 1,841
Well, I don’t think ofa is a durability enhancer and I do believe it’s Ap is higher than Deku’s durability (for some percentages). Deku when reflected with his own power was destroyed. Like, fibers being ripped apart and everything. If he was truly capable of withstanding that power with no damage, that wouldn’t have happened.
Just my opinion though.

So Tsu isn’t dead, Toga just took her goggles. They were kinda gonna beat Toga even if she took the Twice blood, but the Kurogiri portal came in clutch. Now we’re at the Endeavor battlefield with a bunch of clones, looking pretty bleak. She’s gunning for Hawks, he might be going down lads.
Ochako is launched into the portal by Tsu, so she’s going to be fighting Toga-Twice, AFO and Dabi with Endeavor, Hawks, Jiro and Tokoyami. She better get that Quirk awakening quick cause she ain’t doing shit to literally all of the hardest hitters for the villains being here except Shigaraki and Machia.
Also Gang Orca hurt the Near High End. Cool.

First off tag spoilers
Second off
He leaped onto it and grabbed it with his claws, and hit it with a headbutt, which seem to affect it on top of other heroes hitting it

It's worth noting that this High End apparently didn't have a regeneration Quirk.

That's sounds good, though an old calc group member got like 2 tons of TNT using that method.
That's violent fragmentation at minimum, and most likely pulverization given the amount of dust and the small size of the fragments.
But ground burst explosions don't work like that, the explosion has to push against a surface for this formula to be used. Bakugo would need to aim at the ground and fire his explosion there.
It's made of rock and unlike buildings, the ground is not hollow, so we could probably get similar if not greater results if we calculated the size of the crater it left.
You could make an argument for the Zero Point Bot one, but Bakugo collapsed thousand of tons of ice, which would weight more than many urban buildings.

I like the fact that you answered me the very moment I went online
By the same logic, any explosion created in buildings must use airburst method
No, its violent fragmentation. Pieces of concrete are still visible
So why doesn't every explosion created by Bakugou are airburst? If Bakugou aims upward, its airburst, but if he aims forward, its groundburst. What is the logic? In all cases, no matter the direction, the epicenter will be Bakugou's hand, who is fixed on the ground
By the same logic, any explosion created in buildings must use airburst method
Fragmenting rock is not 20 PSI
Definitely not, especially considering that explosions generate heat, which would help in the destruction

Ok how about this:
If it’s not 20 PSI what’s your suggestion we use?
