Revisiting Madara cutting the Mountains.

Hello there,

This thread’s goal is to discuss and propose a new way of calculating Madara’s sword slash that cut the mountains.

the feat/s:


As we see, Madara slashed his sword and the shockwave “leveled the mountains”

The current calc we use treats the slash as if Madara was directly cutting the mountains. This method tremendously lowballs the feat and the intention behind said feat.

This is because the feat isn’t impressive because Madara leveled the mountains as we’ve seen far weaker characters have feats on or above that level. The feat is impressive because it was a side effect of air pressure. He not doing this with telekenis or wind style, but rather pure brute force of his slice.

This feat is the equivalent of swinging a sword so hard the air pressure of the slash is leveling mountains that are like 10 kilometers away. In real life the air pressure of a slice that could kill you is barely noticeable a few inches away, let alone one that’s doing these type of feats miles away. It really begs the question, how then much more powerful is the actual slice, and not the air pressure kilometers away?

The idea I had to calc this feat (specifically the one in the hashirama fight since it’s a 360 slash) was to momentarily treat like an omnidirectional explosion and use Inverse Square Law, but since it’s NOT an omnidirectional blast we should first to find the volume of the hypothetical sphere using the distance between Madara and the mountain as the radius, then use that same radius to find the volume of a cylinder with a height equal to the width of Madara’s blade.

When we have gotten both, we would then divide the volume of said hypothetical sphere with the volume of the cylinder.

The next step after we have gotten the answer for the previously mentioned division, would then be to divide it from the answer we got from the inverse square law calc

The final answer should be something like: Value from ISL formula/(Sphere volume/Cylinder Volume)=Madara’s ap

This method is being proposed because madara’s slash isnt omnidirectional but rather more akin to a flat 360 shockwave slash that is much more like a ring/cylinder than a sphere. By first treating it like a sphere, then dividing it by a cylinder to find out the area that Madara actually affected, I feel the most accurate value of the feat can be derived.

I am open to more methods if there are any. Thanks for reading.

I am of the opinion that the inverse square law might be applicable for this feat because to my knowledge it dictates how energy decreases in it’s intensity the further it goes, the idea that it needs to be an omnidirectional blast isn’t something I’ve heard based on what I’ve read but then again (I’m not too knowledgeable on these, so feel free to correct me) but based on this video that I’ve watched that shows us how a flashlight’s emitted light is applicable for this formula which works similar to Madara’s sword slashes which also emit destructive energy in a particular direction so yeah I don’t see why we can’t use it

 
I don't recall the exact reason, but from what I remember, it resulted in insanely inflated calcs. For example, in One-Punch Man, Saitama split the clouds across the entire planet with his Serious Punch from a distance. This is a High 6-A feat. In the past people have used ISL to find the energy that Saitama's fist would need to do that and it got 4-C.

not only is that a punch compared to a 360 slash, is 4c saitama even that crazy?

this my hero calc uses inverse square law from the same type of feat as the saitama one
 
That's not really the point I'm making. I'm just saying that the method isn't allowed and the likely reason as to why.
if you don't know the exact reason why something is not usable then drop arguing it and no "feats become too strong" isn't a valid counter whatsoever
 
I'm not countering the validity of the method, I couldn't care less about that. I'm telling you, and others, that the method typically isn't used unless it's for an omnidirectional shockwave/explosion, and that there were complaints in the past about how it also inflates results. If you want to go ahead with it you're free to do so but if it gets rejected don't say that nobody told you so. Just a head up.
 
This isn't inverse square law at all. This is just an attack with a wide AOE that has a portion of it being accounted for.

ISL is strictly for shockwaves or similar with spherical-ish shapes, not just slashes

ISL is violent wank for this feat
 
can you guys even try and fully read what i proposed? i’ve already acknowledged and accounted for this fact in my op.

Your first step was literally
The idea I had to calc this feat (specifically the one in the hashirama fight since it’s a 360 slash) was to momentarily treat like an omnidirectional explosion and use Inverse Square Law, but since it’s NOT an omnidirectional blast we should first to find the volume of the hypothetical sphere using the distance between Madara and the mountain as the radius, then use that same radius to find the volume of a cylinder with a height equal to the width of Madara’s blade.
And the final step was
The final answer should be something like: Value from ISL formula/(Sphere volume/Cylinder Volume)=Madara’s ap

"I know we can't use ISL but let's try to momentarily use ISL"
That attack is omnidirectional for less than a nanosecond. And that's when the sword is standing still.

You can't use anything involving ISL. Literally. There is no saving this feat
 
Why am I always seeing feats using anime and manga portrayals instead of just picking one? Does Madara's susanoo not appear in the fight at all or something? Just seems random.
That anime scan just was very comfortable to work with and I just picked feat from OP as it had good angle for both of my ends. Didn't really check for anime version for that tbh.
