Sword Kinetic Energy

This is an inquiry on Kinetic Energy Feats standards: So a character who does speed amp attacks laments that his slashes are too shallow to disorientate his opponent because he is not moving fast enough, he then uses a superior speed amp (Godspeed) to deliver a stronger slash.

Zen ke 1 Zen ke 2 Zen ke 3

I am thinking this meets the Kinetic Energy Feats standards, but I would like to make sure.

Kinetic Energy based on Movement Speed is case by case: Fiction often treats the speed with which a character can move himself as unrelated to their attack power. As such feats like just running or carrying a small object, like another character, should only be used if the fiction has made clear that the speed of the movement correlates to the character's power or if the character uses the fast moving object to attack. Calculating the energy necessary for moving large structures at great speeds, using the speed things move as a secondary effect of an attack, throwing objects at great speeds etc. are all acceptable methods of quantifying a characters power regardless.
Speed can be used to find KE whe
  • The kinetic energy displayed is directly shown to be as a result of speed, or at least heavily implied to be so. Examples would be: A meteor crashing into the ground, as well as a Kaiju moving at full speed.
 
It makes sense. I believe against Upper Moon 4, Tanjiro also did something similar, specifically referencing Zenitsu's technique
