Introduction​

This is the long awaited CSM CRT where I will be covering the verse's speed calc's and scaling while also doing some removals of other calcs whether they involve speed or not. For the beginning of this, it is important that you, the reader, understand the verse's power system, that being fear scaling, as it will be necessary to the scaling of a lot of characters mentioned here.

As the verse note page dictates.
You may also get more on this on the general devil physiology page here


Revised Calcs​

First lets go over what is going to be replaced re evaluated for later use. For this section I will be mainly focusing on speed.


New Calcs or Calcs necessary for scaling here​

These are the calcs that will be used for scaling within this thread.


Quick note: Yoru and Makima's "Bang" are from the Gun Devil, and this should be a note on the verse page:
Let's go over the basics. As the Control Devil, Makima has shown the ability to control any life form she perceives as lesser than herself. This control is not limited to humans, it extends to devils, fiends, and animals alike. After taking control, she can also use the abilities of those under her influence, whether they are alive or deceased, even if the abilities originate from devils they had contracts with.

Makima’s profile also notes that her powers are passive and extend to everyone she meets, and even to those she controls posthumously. This suggests that she may possess the powers of devils she has never directly encountered or controlled. This is supported by her eventual control of the Zombie Devil, which she only discovered after Denji had killed it, yet it later appears among her controlled minions.

Now, with that in mind, we also know that when facing opponents she cannot or chooses not to immediately control, she will engage them in battle until she proves herself superior to them.

From this we can conclude:
  • Makima's control is passive.
  • When she is uncertain whether she is superior to her opponent, she will engage them in combat.
  • Once she takes control of a devil, she can use that devil’s abilities as her own, even after their death.
Now, after Makima defeated the Gun Devil in their 12 second showdown, according to her plan, she took control of it and forced it into Aki's corpse, compelling it to fight Denji. The key point here is that Makima clearly took control of the Gun Devil, meaning she gained access to its abilities.

We also know that Makima has the ability to control anything, which allowed her to cultivate the Gun Devil’s power as her own, even altering its size and potency.

Therefore Yoru's 28% of the Gun Devil should scale 8% above Makima's 20% and then some.


Now onto the speed scaling, I'll be stealing using @ElajRuengies beautiful formatting method for verse indexing.
Rock Bottom Tiers - Average Human
Bottom Tiers - Dragon Fiend Blocks Bullets: (Mach 0.83)
  • Long (Did her feat)
  • Initial Power (At least; Blood would reasonably be more feared than dragons as a concept since it is directly associated with injury, death, violence and disease in real life. Unlike dragons, which are mythical creatures confined to folklore and fiction)
  • Cosmo (Is a fiend)
  • Fiend Beam (Is a fiend)
  • Initial Asa/Yoru (Danced around initial Yuko and could parry her tentacles for a while despite Yuko's advantage in limbs and being able to read her mind. Did her feat. Killed the Carpenter Bee Devil. Worth noting that Asa's usually too clumsy to actually utilize her speed.)
  • Initial Yuko (Far faster than Asa and Yoru even while holding back "Justice" Devil contractors who become devils themselves outright compare themselves to Public Safety's contracts; should be semi-comparable to Nail)
Low Tiers - Nail Fiend Dodges Bullets: (Mach 1.77)
Mid-high Tiers - 20% Gun Devil Speed: (Mach 25.8)
High Mid - Katana Man Sword Draw Dash: (Mach 81.48)
High Tiers - Makima shoots Pochita Into Space: (Mach 4,603.11) - Characters here are comparable to 28% of the Gun Devil - Mach 4,971.36
Gun Devil Tier - 100% = Mach 23,015.55
  • 100% Gun Devil attack speed
Top tiers - American Spear acceleration speed: (1.25c)


Minor issue: Removal of Denji's Post Broadcast key and merging Katana Man's Part 1 and Part 2 keys
I propose removing Denji's Post-Broadcast key and merging Katana Man's Part 1 and Part 2 keys.

Denji (Post Broadcast)

The justification for Denji receiving a fear based boost after the broadcast is extremely flawed.

It is currently argued that Denji became stronger because he was seen fighting devils while wearing a Public Safety Devil Hunter uniform. However, there is no solid reason to assume the general public response to this would be fear. Confusion at most, but not fear. If anything, it would likely be reassuring to the average person, as it implies the government has the situation under control and that a trained, official Devil Hunter is handling the threat. This would be attention and public awareness, not the kind of fear necessary to justify a substantial strength increase through Fear Scaling.

Plus, Denji does not consistently display a fear based boost for the remainder of Part 1. His growth is far more logically explained through Kishibe's training, which directly improves his physical ability and combat performance. Considering who Kishibe is, it is not a stretch for Denji to become significantly stronger through training alone. This is also consistent with the verse, as even humans are shown to gain major increases in strength through training and contracts without needing fear based scaling.

Therefore, Denji's Post Broadcast key should be removed, and his Part 1 progression should instead be attributed to Kishibe's training and general combat experience.

Katana Man (Part 1 and Part 2)

Katana Man having separate Part 1 and Part 2 keys is unnecessary. There is no meaningful justification given for a distinct gap in his stats that would warrant separate keys, and his portrayal does not support a major increase that would require a split.

As such, Katana Man's Part 1 and Part 2 keys should be merged into a single key.

Update: I have decided to revise the scaling after overlooking that many characters already scale to High Hypersonic, so I have made adjustments accordingly. The Nail Fiend's Supersonic feat was not adjusted, so as a result, everyone who scales to it will be pushed down to Subsonic+ from the Dragon Fiend;s feat.

Here is a sandbox preview of how everything will appear on the profiles. Everyone TBD will be rock bottom by default until covered in a separate CRT.

For anyone who says I should have waited a bit longer for the calcs to get evaluated, the verse speed scaling is a mess (for around 2 years now) and it is best to fix it as soon as possible. Calcs can always be added over time.

Oh so that's why it's so soon

I had this another calc: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/U...w_Man)_A_Devil_Hunter_dodges_transformed_Yuko

That would scale pretty much everyone, as much or more than long blocking bullets do, thought I needed some calc moderator to tell me if some parameters like yukos leg speed being superhuman is fine, as she's holding back in that scene but theres still blurriness around it representing high speeds

Nail scaling it's kinda weird, their feats are low diffing a bunch of teenagers, was about to hit Lil'd until asa pushed her back (cuz she only had one arm, and they didn't even had a proper fight with asa) and was fighting for a few panels against Quanxi with Yoru's help, maybe you can say their best feat is surviving an attack from Quanxi, but they could have just regenerated, if Quanxi cut their head then they would had died too


Also that mid high tiers scaling from 20% gun devil being slower than katana man who's high mid, doesn't really makes much sense because the fear gap between them it's too massive for even just 20% of gun devil being slower, that Mach 25.8 is rather a travell speed feat that he did there, he even had that Mach 312 travell speed feat as 100% gun devil, therefore this goes more as a supporting calc, that at most can be used for it KE AP calc
 
That would be a good supporting feat considering the Nail Fiend covers most speed already. However, considering that guy is just a school human Devil Hunter, you could easily upscale fiends off him, so good catch.

I am not sure why you are bringing up Nail Fiend general scaling here. This is a speed CRT, not a profile feat revision. She performed a supersonic feat, and that is what we are using here.

The difference being that Katana Man's sword draw dash is only a bit faster. The 20% Gun is generally faster when it comes to direct travel speed. The only reason Katana Man appears so fast in his feat is because he is making an extremely fast short movement. That is really all there is to it.

I will comment later
 
Wouldnt yoru scale to top tiers in speed at least in reaction due to dodging an attack from denchita?
 
Wouldn't rock bottom tier still scale to at least average human speed? Iirc the hordes of puppets could still somewhat keep up with Denji's running speed until he used Chainsaw parkour.

"Top tiers - 100% = Mach 17,755
100% Gun Devil attack speed" where is that from? The calc
 
That's just a solo category for the 100% Gun.

If, 20% = Mach 4,603.11

4,603.11 x 5 = 23,015.55

100%= Mach 23,015.55

That's all, my math was wrong originally though.
 
also Yoru should have more range (give her the uni+range if you want) at least interplanetary range, the rest is fine for me.

Ok but the match speed you gave would be wrong then

And was it discussed before about 100% being 5 times faster in every way to 20% gun devil? The way makima got the finger bangs it's weird, clearly Yoru's bangs are stronger and faster than gun devil's attacks because of the sentimental value that she had on him as her son, which explains why yoru feats against a post fear boost Pochita were made, the gun devil as a weaker devil couldn't surpass Pochita like that, it's was Yoru's Weaponization enhancing 28% gun devil

But with makima there aren't explanations about she enhancing the powers of the 20% devil she got

My problem comes to the body mass of gun devil relating to their reactions, bullet speeds, travell speed, maybe some of his speed stats applies but not all

I agree with everything except most of what's said about gun devil
 
The Gun Devil scaling is not new. Yoru creating a strong weapon like the Gun Gauntlet simply makes the power of her attacks greater. All that means is that her gauntlets are superior to 28% of the Gun Devil in attack speed, which is still greater than what Makima is supposed to dish out with her 20% regardless. I do not get the point you are trying to make here. Makima also did not "enhance" the ability she got from the Gun Devil. I have no idea what you are generally talking about.

Nobody said anything about mass equaling reactions. The bullet speeds are being used in percentages like they have always been since 2024 until now. His travel speed has always been the same and is not changing. I hate to say this, but right now it just appears like you are saying a whole lot of nothing.
 
I might not be build for this powerscaling stuff anymore...

Also, I tried to use catbox links for most scans here, but it seems that the forum doesn't accept such links anymore lol
Katana Man Sword Draw Dash: High Hypersonic+ (Mach 81.48)
This calc is wrong and I already told Joakin about it offsite. I have a recalc that makes it mach 32 - 48. However, theres a major problem
  • The standards for slow motion feats are changing, and it looks like that Katana Man feat does not fit the new ones
    • To quote: In the case of non-animated visual media, such as Comics, manga, and manhwa, the standards for slow motion are stricter. In this case, if a reference object with known speed can be visually confirmed to not have moved even 1 pixel, with multiple panels of the reference object not moving and preferably different angles of the attack being shown, one can figure out the timeframe, by saying that it must have been less than the timeframe that the object would have taken to move 1 pixel, only two panels is generally not enough to warrant the use of this method. A potential example to follow is the third example in this post. Furthermore, the object of interest needs to be faster than the object of reference. [However, if a series is known not to commonly reuse art, exceptions could be made with the multiple-panel usage requirement]
  • Not only that, but the panel is inconsistent. I'm not 100% sure if the guy was completly static. His feet on his back and arm moved. His hip also seems to have moved. I would rather wait for the anime before using such vague feat (thx @LaserPrecision for this comparasion)
    • zVCl9me.png
Sun seems to not agree with this calc. Sun suggested to use 1.5 arches instead of 0.5, but it seems that it wasn't changed
The shooters are about halfway between arches, while Nail was at the start of the arch, meaning he(?) was about 4.50070166/2 = 2.25035083 meters away from the guns.
Care to elaborate? There's nothing in the link other than Reze kicking Denji. Is there any statement that I'm missing? I'm also looking for irl sources since it's prolly where you got it, but I can't find anything about mach 3? In fact, the fastest torpedo seems to be around 102km/h.
I don't think that the initial spear speed should scale to anyone. We already know and accept that Yoru's summon/weaponization speed is far faster than the stats of anyone, it literally blitzed Pochita from hundred of kilometers without major problem, so why the initial speed wouldn't be faster for the spear too?

For instance, this is the speed of a weapon being summoned:
0176-011.png
0176-012.png
0176-013.png
0176-014.png
0176-015.png
0176-016.png
The blitz was so insane that it was calced to be FTL/FTL+ (2c to 80c)

In chapter 224, where the feat happened, the initial speed of Yoru starting to summon it, moving from moon to earth, should use follow a similar logic
0224-001.png
0224-002.png
Fake Chainsaw Man shouldn't scale to the full speed of Bang at all. Bang isn't consistent. It can go from damaging Pochita and pulverizing Power's arm to give some back pain. Yoru in the scene was attacking some civillians/ChainsawFans and was not expecting some powerful devil, it was a very very casual Bang. Yoru was legit just shooting normal humans and then Fake Chainsaw Man showed up. I don't think it would be safe to scale the fastest and strongest demonstration of Bang's power to just a casual attack.

"But Fake Chainsaw Man could dodge it later" it legit looks like aim dodge. We see Yoru's panel of pointing at Fake Chaisaw Man before the true bang, probably to show the "delay".

Let's also not forget how Part 1 Pochita who scales higher than Fake Chainsaw Man could NEVER deal with Bang's speed at all even from hundred of meters. "But he was midair!", not much of a problem for him tbh



For Goddess Gun, I plan to address in it's own CRT

I understand it now, my bad

Thought that 20% to 28% gun devil going from mach 4601 to mach 4971.36, 20% to 28% is what you meant right? 28% is 40% higher than 20%

So Mach 4603.11 x 1.4= Mach 6444.354

Agree with fake chainsawmans speed debunk, cuz denji then got to him and kill him in one blow once he stopped caring about people covering his body

From the fight alone, you can tell denji is faster and stronger, he was holding back

If fake chainsawmans scaled to yorus bang, and denji not, then Denji wouldn't have done shit on him, not getting to hit him at all and so fake chainsawmans wouldn't need to play dirty

If denji upscaled from Fake chainsawman scaling from yorus bang, then that essentially makes post fear boost denji at that point faster than post fear boost pochita, and there's just no way that maybe the fear of chainsawmans growing across one story arc to another makes "post post fear boost denji" being faster than "post fear boost Pochita"

This really seems like an outlier or something that may be explained by "casual attacks from a faster character being blocked" like you say
 
I do not agree with Fakesaw Man (weaker than Denji) scaling to Bang, and therefore outscaling Pochita. It's an outlier.

In fact, the fastest torpedo seems to be around 102km/h.
Holy Dandadan Blitz

In chapter 224, where the feat happened, the initial speed of Yoru starting to summon it, moving from moon to earth, should use follow a similar logic
This I do not agree with at all. Yoru was not summoning the spear (summoning being the insane gigablitz speed). She transformed the flag spear on the moon, then imbued it with a homing system via weaponizing America's claim to the moon, and then had it home in on Denjiman. It's a completely different situation, you can draw no parallel between weapon-summoning and the flag spear.

Sun seems to not agree with this calc. Sun suggested to use 1.5 arches instead of 0.5, but it seems that it wasn't changed


Care to elaborate? There's nothing in the link other than Reze kicking Denji. Is there any statement that I'm missing? I'm also looking for irl sources since it's prolly where you got it, but I can't find anything about mach 3? In fact, the fastest torpedo seems to be around 102km/h.

I don't think that the initial spear speed should scale to anyone. We already know and accept that Yoru's summon/weaponization speed is far faster than the stats of anyone, it literally blitzed Pochita from hundred of kilometers without major problem, so why the initial speed wouldn't be faster for the spear too?

For instance, this is the speed of a weapon being summoned:

0176-012.png
0176-013.png
0176-014.png
0176-015.png
0176-016.png
The blitz was so insane that it was calced to be FTL/FTL+ (2c to 80c)

In chapter 224, where the feat happened, the initial speed of Yoru starting to summon it, moving from moon to earth, should use follow a similar logic
0224-001.png
0224-002.png

Fake Chainsaw Man shouldn't scale to the full speed of Bang at all. Bang isn't consistent. It can go from damaging Pochita and pulverizing Power's arm to give some back pain. Yoru in the scene was attacking some civillians/ChainsawFans and was not expecting some powerful devil, it was a very very casual Bang. Yoru was legit just shooting normal humans and then Fake Chainsaw Man showed up. I don't think it would be safe to scale the fastest and strongest demonstration of Bang's power to just a casual attack.

"But Fake Chainsaw Man could dodge it later" it legit looks like aim dodge. We see Yoru's panel of pointing at Fake Chaisaw Man before the true bang, probably to show the "delay".

Let's also not forget how Part 1 Pochita who scales higher than Fake Chainsaw Man could NEVER deal with Bang's speed at all even from hundred of meters. "But he was midair!", not much of a problem for him tbh



For Goddess Gun, I plan to address in it's own CRT
I agree with all of Lok's points except the spear one.
Gunshy forgot to share the link to the actual Calc and not just the manga feat

its a feat that happened in the manga and anime

Gonna read through this thread in a bit but the feat there was linked above in the list of calcs but for some reason that one just links to an image.
 
Do we accept anime feats? The standards are getting more strict
of what i was told, if its a feat that happens both in the anime in manga, then you can make the feat out of the anime one

for example the angel blocking a bullet debunk was because in the anime is shown clearly that he moved his wing before the bullet was shot, debunking the assumption that he moved his wing after the bullet was shot, what the anime shown having more priority
 
I might not be build for this powerscaling stuff anymore...

Also, I tried to use catbox links for most scans here, but it seems that the forum doesn't accept such links anymore lol

This calc is wrong and I already told Joakin about it offsite. I have a recalc that makes it mach 32 - 48. However, theres a major problem
  • The standards for slow motion feats are changing, and it looks like that Katana Man feat does not fit the new ones
    • To quote: In the case of non-animated visual media, such as Comics, manga, and manhwa, the standards for slow motion are stricter. In this case, if a reference object with known speed can be visually confirmed to not have moved even 1 pixel, with multiple panels of the reference object not moving and preferably different angles of the attack being shown, one can figure out the timeframe, by saying that it must have been less than the timeframe that the object would have taken to move 1 pixel, only two panels is generally not enough to warrant the use of this method. A potential example to follow is the third example in this post. Furthermore, the object of interest needs to be faster than the object of reference. [However, if a series is known not to commonly reuse art, exceptions could be made with the multiple-panel usage requirement]

The new slow motion standard does not really debunk this scene. We have a freeze beat sequence with multiple sequential panels, including two wide panels framing the same moment and an in between emphasis panel. The target's core posture is basically unchanged and the main difference is the leg being severed and displaced. Citing the severed leg shifting position is not proof that the devil "moved" within the timeframe. It's post impact displacement, which is exactly what you would expect after a slash.

If someone wants to argue that the exact timeframe is uncertain under stricter requirements, that is a separate discussion. However, the alleged "inconsistency" with the feet, hip or arm is mostly normal redraw variance unless you can actually anchor the same body points and demonstrate clear displacement beyond line thickness. Before you even mention it, waiting for the anime is not a standards based objection either, since the manga is primary canon and anime timing often gets padded for dramatization.

So the feat still works as a "swing completed before the target can move or react" showing Katana Man being decisively faster. The "movement" critique does not meaningfully apply unless it shows the target's center mass shifting, not a limb moving because it was cut off.

Yeah, i'll try get that fixed in a moments notice.

I accidentally replaced the link with the actual calc instead. I updated it though, and it should be good now. That was a formatting mistake on my part.

0224-001.png
0224-002.png
Yeah, no, that logic does not follow.

At the point in Chapter 224, Yoru had already weaponized the spear while it was on the moon. The act of weaponization was completed before the projectile began traveling toward Earth. What we are seeing afterward is not summoning speed. It's attack speed.

You are conflating two entirely different mechanics:
  1. Weapon creation or summoning speed
  2. Projectile travel speed after creation
The FTL+ calc applies to ths weaponization summoning toward Yoru, which is explicitly portrayed as a summon that bypasses conventional distance. That is why it blitzed Pochita across hundreds of kilometers.

The moon spear does not function that way.

Yoru did not summon the spear to herself. She used the moon as a homing system. The spear was explicitly configured to target Denji. If she were "pulling" it via summon speed, it would have appeared at her location or followed her position. Instead, it locked onto Denji and homed in on him, which is the entire stated function of the weapon. You cannot retroactively apply summoning speed to an attack that is clearly portrayed as a homing projectile traveling through space. The mechanism is completely different. The narrative framing is different. The visual presentation is different. If anything, treating the initial lunar movement as summoning speed directly contradicts how the weapon is described to work.
Fake Chainsaw Man shouldn't scale to the full speed of Bang at all. Bang isn't consistent. It can go from damaging Pochita and pulverizing Power's arm to give some back pain.

Again, this is another nothing burger.

First, you would actually have to prove that Yoru can control the speed of her Bang shots. There is zero evidence of that. You cannot just assume she casually lowers projectile velocity because she is shooting civilians. When someone fires a gun, they can control aim and output, maybe even projectile size in Yoru's case, but nowhere is it shown that she fine tunes the travel speed of the bullet itself. You are inserting a mechanic that does not exist. If you want to argue variable velocity, you need proof.

Second, what reason would Yoru even have to hold back speed in that moment? None. She was firing to kill. Whether the target is civilians or a devil, she is not portrayed as deliberately lowering projectile speed. That reasoning is completely nonexistent.

Third, you ignored the consistency point. Fake Chainsaw Man handles Bang three separate times. Not once. Not twice. Three times.
  1. He reacts to it.
  2. He deals with it again.
  3. He controls his goons to block it.
That is not a one off fluke. That is repeated interaction with the same attack. Your stance relies on dismissing every instance as either casual or aim dodge without demonstrating that. Speaking of aim dodge, that argument does not hold. The panel showing Yoru pointing first does not magically make it aim dodge. Bang is consistently portrayed as a point and fire ability. The pointing is part of the activation. You cannot just call every reaction to it aim dodge because there is a gesture beforehand. That would invalidate half of fiction.

Now regarding Part 1 Pochita.

Using him as an anti feat here just makes no sense in context. Pochita was airborne and launched upward. Makima literally forced that situation to use Bang optimally. Being midair absolutely matters because he had limited maneuverability. Makima deliberately set that up. and saying it was not a problem for him ignores the tactical setup entirely.

In conclusion here, Katana Man feat might need a CGD, Nail Fiend calc needs and update or a re-evaluation. Everything else seems like reaches, unnecessarily so too.
 
i think for the scaling of high tiers important to discuss if its possible that pochita got signicantly stronger from his first fight to his second fight against yoru, like saying that people kept fearing the concept of chainsawman more and more from one arc to another

pochita does seems to have gotten stronger, denjiman in chapter 226 (who has the same stats as pochita) could block many bangs from yoru, which got him breaking a wall, not heavily injured after
pochita survived better yorus bangs before even before death was erased, was even moving faster than her at moments

if pochita got stronger and faster from one fight to another, then he being closer to yorus weaponization speed would make more sense, after all its undeniable that he ´´blitzed´´ her weaponization speed of trying to turn Death devil into a sword (on panel 1 Yoru says ´´ death sword´´ then in panel 2 Lil´d is already shaking from the weaponization affecting her, and in panel 3 Pochita rapidly eat her before the weaponization completes)

about the spear speed, its shown that while still on the moon the flag was already transmutated into a spear, then head to earth, with weaponizing gun and tank gaunlet, because of such crater they made initially, it seems to me they first got outside of their cages as their whole bodies (many meters big, gun devil is shown to be massive as 20% and tank devil from the name alone probably too) then midway transformation, they became into yorus gaunlets until they reach her cut arms

so its 2 different scenarios where Gun and tank were transmutated midway their travell across earth and spear was first transmutated then travelled across earth, so that FTL spear was while already transmutated, so at all times it may move at that speed

its pretty much like gun goddess, first the transmutation from the summoning happens, then the projectile comes, the difference being that the spear has a initial attack then keeps homing at the target nonstop

3 times that fake chainsawman dodged yorus bang? specially the second one, first yoru bangs at where fake chainsawman is standing, but fake chainsawman jumps and dodges it, just the floor he was standing in being destroyed, then denji jumps at fake chainsawman and do gets to cut his arm (and later on on the fight, he eventually kills him when he stops caring about not killing the people around his body)

this shows Denji getting to hit Fake Chainsawman, which yoru couldnt, in just the span of 3 continuous pages, so does denji gets another separated post fear boost key where he scale to the bangs speed of post fear boost yoru?

EDIT: i think i now agree with fake chainsawman scaling, so put me there, its hard to believe that Part 2 pochita gets humilliated by chainsawman wannabes but its shown way too many times that fake chainsawman dodges the bangs
 
btw, if its accepted that, the fact that Yoru uses bangs from a 28% gun devil while Makima uses from a 20% gun devil, and so yoru having 8% more gun devil than makima means that speed difference to makimas bang (yoru bangs being faster than Makimas bangs), then it shouldnt be adding a 8% of makimas bang ´´(Mach 4,603.11) resulting into Mach 4,971.36

28% of anything (gun devil) its 40% higher than 20% of that same thing

so add 40% of that 20% (Mach 4603.11) and you get Mach 6444.354

more simply, theorically 100% gun devil scales 5 times higher than makimas bang (equal to 20% gun devil), he being Mach 23.015.55, 28% of that speed is also Mach 6444.354[/spoiler]
 
You don't have to do all that. Your just clogging the thread, people can read for themselves.
