hey, this is a genuine potentially life-or-death emergency so please boost this: i need to get in contact with as many people who might be involved in anti-ICE stuff in New Jersey as possible.
a transfem friend of mine has gone missing and i’m trying to help find her
@kizzbopyon yes which is why like a chapter or 2 before this, we see him send a dismantle that eclipses multi-storey buildings to kill them curses. this specific feat above is technique mastery+str since i think each vertical cut on the surrounding buildings was done with it’s own slash
For the majority of these points, you have not read what I said. I have already clarified points made in comment one, two, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine, so I will only be addressing three. The rest, you will already find your answer in my initial thread, as they clear all your misconceptions over the idea that he is not the fastest beyond travelling (my first paragraph explains this), that her willpower alone did not fully dampen the effect of it (my third paragraph explains this, but if you need further elaboration, diminishing that of a planetary attack down to a town is extremely more difficult than from a country to a city block), and why its DC and AP are both apparently lesser than Sukuna's Divine Hearth (my seventh paragraph explains this).
Additionally, I will give each bit of information of every sound effect and kanji used at the end, which you can verify with far greater ease, as it will be divided into simple, easy-to-translate symbols.
"I would like to see the specific evidence or calculations supporting the claims about sound effects as well, and that of the bomb statement"
Firstly, I do not need to explain that the Tsar Bomba's blast yield of 50 megatons is factual, which is equivalent to roughly 209 petajoules, so I will assume you stand by that. Secondly, the reasoning for it stems from ram pressure. Ram pressure is P = ½ρv², which is modified by the Lorentz factor γ² due to how the fluid's momentum transfer in the rest frame of the object increases relativistically. ρ, which in this instance is sea level air, would be 1.225 kg/m³. v, in this instance, equates to 2.97x10⁸m/s. Relativistic momentum increases it without bound, so the Lorentz factor, which allows us to see how relativistic Dabura is, increases γ.
We know from this image that Dabura is at least at 0.9c, as 0.5c is where you only get various overlapping ghost positions, but here, nothing is overlapping, they're all smeared across a portion of its travel path simultaneously, which ensures that it's 0.99c at a BARE minimum. It is multiple ghost positions, but in reality, with how much there are, it'd be about 0.999c (though I prefer to lowball so that I do not lean into speculative territory). How it works scientifically is that, when an object moves at a significant fraction of c, the light it emitted from position A travels towards you WHILE it's already at B, C, and D, and you receive it all simultaneously. This means, at BARE MINIMUM, every Makora you see here is the product of Dabura circling the city, town, Earth, whatever, but this all occurs within the time it takes for the light of the first Makora to reach Dabura's eye. That is WHAT this phenomenon is, scientifically. It demands 0.99c.
Anyway, back to it, due to how it is 0.99c (as 0.5 would only entail around two Makora here) minimum, I used that for my equation. γ at 0.99c, it = 50.27. Assuming Dabura was shorter and skinnier, the human frontal cross-section is ≈ 0.68 m². Thus, P = ½x1.225x(2.97x10⁸)²x50.27 = 0.6125x8.82x10¹⁶x50.27 = ~2.71x10¹⁸ . Since force = Pxarea, we just do 2.71x10¹⁸x0.68 = ~1.84x10¹⁸N. Energy per metre = Fxd = 1.84x10¹⁸J/m, which effectively translates to about 8.8 Tsar Bombas, since 1.84x10¹⁸÷2.09x10¹⁷ = ~8.8. I should add, the γ² approach IS a little bit of an approximation, but the order of magnitude is solid. Even if it's more or less what I said, it'd still be ~8.8, just could be between 8.75 to 8.85.
You can also see from Makora rotated 180 on his right that the Terrell-Penrose effect is occurring, which at this rate would only be plausible at 0.99c too. The only other explanation ASIDE from that is the Searchlight Effect, but that's also at 0.99c, same with gravitational lensing. Effectively, every excuse you can give for why this happened is only capable of occurring at 0.99c. So, no matter WHAT, he is travelling at 99% SoL bare minimum. You would just have to argue that Gege doesn't know what he's talking about, in which that's effectively just a cope, since there was literally a physics consultant for this. Why would he bother getting Kurare if he didn't plan to stick to it?
Anyway, the SFX thing is overkill, but I'll do it anyway. The SFX you see here isド, which is effectively "do"; the sound of a thump, quake, etcetera. Multiple in succession define a sustained, continuous rolling force. It is not one single stacking explosion, it is an array of SEVERAL different INTENSE thuds, likely Dabura running back and forth given that he's probably across half the world each second. To give an example of it being used hyperbolically, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure uses it for suspense, which you'd find in Part 6.
Now,
舞う (mau) - "to move gracefully"
舞 - to flutter
う - verb ending
人類 (jinrui) - humankind
人 - person/human
類 - kind/category/species
人の域 (hito no iki) - the limits of humanity
人 - human/person
の - possessive particle
域 - realm, threshold, boundary
亜光速 (akōsoku) - Near-Light Speed
亜 - Near, Second To, Just Under
光 - Light
速 - Velocity/Speed
So, as I said, Dabura is that guy.
Firstly, this isn't "stupid". While I think it's something that one can very easily counterargue, I do not think the way people have been saying this take is "stupid" is valid. However, that does not mean it's true.
Prior to landing the Black Flash, Yuji cracks his finger and then produces positive energy, using the exact same SFX (second image) for Satoru Gojo's positive energy production against Sukuna (third image). To prove this is not cursed energy, I also have shown the image of Satoru and Sukuna igniting their cursed energy in preparation to attack each other. While both are meant to portray a similar "vwoom", cursed energy's is more of a "gas stove turning on" sound whereas positive energy is more like a fire extinguisher.
Consistent with this is Yuji's following Black Flash, meaning that what Yuji Itadori OBJECTIVELY performed, ignoring intonation, is:
- Crack his finger
- Utilise positive energy to manifest the vapour in conjunction with his cursed energy (showing that he, like Satoru, can now utilise both positive energy and cursed energy seamlessly)
- Perform a Black Flash
Given Satoru Gojo's statements about Black Flash (which will be a separate two images threaded to this one), he specifies that factors like air humidity (vapour present in the air) and temperature are relevant to what can make a Black Flash occur. Thus, given that Yuji pre-empts this Black Flash with confidence, the reading of "you won't die" as fear is inaccurate, given he constantly retains a monotone the entire time. Yuji's specific words in Japanese (which will be posted below, with Gojo's Black Flash comments) are "死にはしない", which does not entail a prediction, but a committed stance. 死に is in its conjunctive に form, making it emphatic. He is not saying "I hope you won't end up dying", he is saying "dying is not what you're going to do". It's a conclusion he makes coldly with emphasis on the fact it WON'T happen via the negative construction of ない, which moreso translates to "do not" than "will not". "You do not die from this" is more what he MEANS, even when he says "you won't die".
So, to conclude, it is almost impossible to argue that Yuji Itadori cannot land a Black Flash "at will". While I do not believe it's something you can just activate, and that's what it means by "at will", Yuji is capable of optimising the chance for Black Flash to 100% via a unique preparation which leaves spatial setting perfect for it, leaving the only skill factor for timing, which Yuji otherwise perfected back in 2018.
Imperatively, if he could not, you would have to argue that him cracking his finger and producing positive energy and cursed energy seamlessly was so he could flex on the simurian, which is counterintuitive to the archetype of character he is by this stage of Modulo.
Probably the ugliest girl I’ve seen in my entire life slid me this instead of a tip at work. Kinda sucks that there’s a 90% chance I’m texting her bombed at 3 AM tonight but I’m in no condition to be turning down free hole as of late #dryspell#YouEitherHungryOrYouNot
@heehoo_a i’m being told he doesn’t have any innate potential or talent and all his strength comes from soul swaps, sukuna and training from others. i wonder who he needed to go from not being able to use convergence to using a multi-head piercing blood considering he has no talent
the only way to have him capped there is “i don’t believe narrative statements mean anything without raw feats that i can scale”. that’s fine but that also means you can’t scale yuji up to 16f sukuna in any meaningful way because his opponents dont scale up to mahoraga or jogo
Personally i like to think that Modulo Yuji is relative/equal to Shibuya Sukuna. I think just like with Megumi, Sukuna in Shibuya represented Yuji at his hypothetical peak. Might be even a bit stronger too cuz of BM
i genuinely don't get how some people still haven't made the connection that tons of weekly manga have a bad ending because the artist was so overworked they had to throw it into the sun or die
@MaliFid8@Sumino999@5_centt@UnbrokenKitKat@10Shrinez none of this clarifies the difference between latent potential and innate potential and how those relate to classifying someone as a prodigy or not can u walk me through ur thinking (u can swap to dms if u prefer) . i think i understand realized potential being different tho.
@MaliFid8@Sumino999@5_centt@UnbrokenKitKat@10Shrinez what do u feel about gojo stating yuji wouldn’t be bound by the label special grade (along with todo and yuta)? just chatting or comparable latent talent? uraume (sukuna’s number 1 glazer) also stated she sensed latent potential within yuji rivaling that of sukuna, bs or nah?
