Aren't Otsutsuki supposed to be planetary energy-eating type sht ?? like narrative-wise, I guess that's what the writer intended to be.
it wasn't stated once or twice but actually a lot of times through the story, for example, Isshiki
here stated that he had devoured countless planets through thousands of years, and isn't this the whole point of the Juubi after all ??
I don't know exactly how to interpret the statement but it doesn't make sense for someone who devoured thousands upon thousands of planets to be moon level, even if we assumed that devouring a single planet is not enough to be planetary but I'm more than sure it's in the same gap.
we know that by devouring the planet he simply absorbs the energy that the planet emits until it becomes unsuitable for life rendering it a dead planet,
which I interpret as basically the geothermal energy in the planet's core which's essential for ecosystems, basically the same thing.
The Earth's internal thermal energy flows to the surface at a rate of 44.2 terajoules per second, which doesn't sound much cause of course it's just a rock planet after all not a star, however, the Shinju doesn't absorb it for a single second but the whole fuel, the whole budget that supplies the ecosystem on the planet, which I did some searches on and it turns out that The Geothermal Potential of the Earth is estimated to be around
12.6 x 10e24 MJ or roughly 1.26 x 10e31 joules or 3 zettatons of TNT
Small Planet Level and thats for a single planet let alone countless.
and this is a feat in itself, in fact, I just don't get how in the world they are not at least planetary, and I'm not talking here as a fanboy who just wants to upscale the verse irdc, I'm talking narratively here that they supposed to be in that level.
Maybe my approach to the feat isn't true or maybe it is, that's up for discussion, however, I'm not pushing for any update nor was it my intention by posting this, nor am I willing to debate about this, just establishing a point.
