Recently, Pietro Maximoff bumped up Lugia to Country level based on a calc done by a Naruto Forums member for the energy yield of creating a 40-day storm.
The problem is that I don't think this calc has been examined and proven to be valid yet. Furthermore, there was another calc for Lugia's 40-day storm that used a different method and only got a yield in the megaton range (City level). The creator of the former calc did not believe the latter had calced the feat properly. To quote him/her:
"Chaos got a figure for the power emitted by thunderstorm and used a multiplier based on duration to obtain the power an equally strong storm would give out in 40 days, but that's very different from the energy needed to create the storm.'
Also, a wing flapping motion won't create a cloud, it will create a gust, so a tropical depression seems like more logical approach than a thunderstorm, if you asked me."
So, which calc is valid? Is Country level Lugia a thing?
