One-Punch Man: The actual time frame of the light trail's existence

It is well known that currently, Garou and Platinum Sperm's calculations take 0.0013 seconds to generate all the light, which is quite low-ball if considering this thing.
  • If we observe closely, the frame from 00:00'00"00'"01 to the frame of 00:00'00"00'"11 is from the same perspective, creating a continuous light trail from a stationary camera angle. We can observe that Garou and Platinum Sperm do not leave the structure of light in each frame. But If it's really 00:00'00"00'"13, the light generated in frame 00:00'00"00'"01 should still be present in the subsequent frames up to 00:00'00"00'"11, but it disappears. This means that the light actually exists in the images only for 0.0006 seconds from frame 00:00'00"00'"01 to 00:00'00"00'"11 and 0.0004 seconds from frame 00:00'00"00'"7 to 00:00'00"00'"11.
However, we will not use 0.0002 seconds from frame 00:00'00"00'"11 to 00:00'00"00'"13 because it is a change in the camera angle. Therefore, we use a time frame of 0.0004 seconds for the light in cases where the light remains.
  • Speed of Garou/Platinum: (1691122.80038)/(0.0004) = 4227807000.95 m/s or 14.1024461694 c (FTL+)
Okay, if the proposal above is still rejected (even though I don't know for what reason), there is still another option. Currently, calculations use 1300863692.6 m/s, which is the average speed, even though the feats show that they are getting faster and faster. I will find the final speed.

Actually, it's quite easy to find the final speed. We simply multiply the average speed by 2 or used this calculator
  • Final speed of Garou/Platinum: 4227807000.95 * 2 = 8455614001.9 m/s or 8.66 c (FTL)
So now, there are two options at this point. I've been pondering this for so long, and it's been released. I know it might be rejected, but I might be lucky enough to succeed.
 
It seems like I may have misunderstood option 2 because the final speed is only 4.33 c. I might remove it if I understand correctly, not sure.
 
Following

I'm neutral on the first option. But if we accept that the Garou and Platinum Sperm took from 0.0007 seconds to 0.0011 seconds to create light, then that means that the final speed at 0.0013 seconds would be 8,455,614,001.9 m/s or 28.20 c (FTL+) according to the calculator this (I'm not sure if I understand correctly.)

Agree
 
1. This is a calc group thread, people shouldn't be commenting 'agree' nonchalantly.
2. What?! Could you explain this better? Are you saying that, in the second and fourth panel, because we don't see light beams, that means the start of the timeframe for this panel/feat was after the end of this panel?

I explain quite straightforwardly that the light occurring in each frame is not the same. Therefore, the duration of the light beam is only as I stated. If it’s really 0.0013 s, we should see the light beam from the first frame still present in the second frame, but it's gone.

So we're just going to ignore the white lines in the second panel and act like they aren't light beams?

I think what op is trying to say is that in every few intervals, a new light trail is made and the old one is gone, so the light trail in 00:00'00"00'"13 isn't built up in 0.0013 seconds but built up in less. I think op is looking too deep into this tho, probably a different angle
 
If we observe closely, the frame from 00:00'00"00'"01 to the frame of 00:00'00"00'"11 is from the same perspective, creating a continuous light trail from a stationary camera angle.
There is no way to prove that these are all from the same perspective/camera angle. No amount of "close observation" can allow us to determine that when there are no shared objects in the background in the two panels to compare.

If you can somehow prove that the panels are all in the same perspective, then I'm neutral on the first proposal in the OP, although the 0.0006 seconds timeframe should be used instead of the 0.0004 seconds one.

This doesn't work. In order to find the final speed, we need to know the time, average speed, and the rate of acceleration. We only have 2 of these.
 
It could just be that the camera is viewing a different section of the trail constellation and/or the camera also zooming out with each panel
 
I cannot prove that it comes from the same angle, so the first option should be rejected. As for the second option, it might just be my misunderstanding. It should increase from 0 to 4.33 c, not that 4.33 is an average. Thought.
 
which is quite low-ball if considering this thing
It's not, because the only time we see the entire structure is with the 0.0013 scene and we have no idea what it looked like before hand. So it's just an assumption that they crossed it earlier. Especially since the timer is representing that they're making the structure in such a small time frame.

You can make them faster without an explicit statement about their increase.
