Ayanokouji Kiyotaka & Ichika Amasawa Revisions
Hello everyone. I am opening this CRT to address some glaring issues with this accepted calc blog() which currently gives Ayanokouji Class 5 LS and Ichika Class 1 LS. (https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/U..._Feats_and_Statements:_Classroom_of_the_Elite)

The blog relies on flawed math, assumed timeframes, and a fundamental misunderstanding of our Lifting Strength standards.

Assumed Timeframe Fallacy
The blog calculates Ichika's falling speed based on the quote: "In a split second..."
The author arbitrarily assigns a timeframe of 0.08 seconds (peak human reaction).
Per our Cinematic Time and Calculation Guidelines, we cannot assign specific numbers to literary hyperboles like "in a split second" in static text (Light Novels) without a timer or explicit author statement.
Because the timeframe is completely assumed, the resulting speed (33 m/s) and the entire Kinetic Energy calculation are invalid.

Flawed Math
Even if we accepted the timeframe, the math calculation has a severe error.
The author calculates: 0.5 * 52.9 kg * (33.34 m/s)^2 = 29,400 Joules.
The author then writes the result as 29,400 kJ, mistakenly adding "kilo" and artificially increasing the result by 3 orders of magnitude.

Kinetic Energy cannot be converted to LS (Ayanokouji Class 5 Debunk)
The author takes the (flawed) kinetic energy of Ayanokouji throwing Ichika, divides it by distance, gets ~22,000 N, and slaps a Class 5 Lifting Strength rating on him.
Per our Lifting Strength page: "Lifting Strength and Striking Strength are in general and should be evaluated separately."
You cannot convert the kinetic energy of a combat throw (which uses leverage, momentum, and gravity) into static lifting strength (holding weight against gravity).


Torque ≠ Lifting Strength (Ichika Class 1 LS Debunk)
The author scales Ichika to Class 1 LS because she threatened to break Kushida's arm (requiring ~3300 N).
Breaking a bone/joint is Torque/Shear Stress (Striking/Impact), not static Lifting Strength.
Furthermore, the author states: "As Ichika was going to do it with a single hand, we can multiply this by two." This is textbook Calc Stacking. If her hand applies 3300 N, multiplying it by two arbitrarily is completely invalid.

Proposed Changes:
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka: Remove Class 5 Lifting Strength.
Ichika Amasawa: Remove Class 1 Lifting Strength.
Calc Blog: Void the speed and AP results from this specific blog due to assumed timeframes and flawed math.

Do you agree with these changes?
 
This should be a CGM thread since the OP is all calc issues
Assumed Timeframe Fallacy
The blog calculates Ichika's falling speed based on the quote: "In a split second..."
The author arbitrarily assigns a timeframe of 0.08 seconds (peak human reaction).
Per our Cinematic Time and Calculation Guidelines, we cannot assign specific numbers to literary hyperboles like "in a split second" in static text (Light Novels) without a timer or explicit author statement.
Because the timeframe is completely assumed, the resulting speed (33 m/s) and the entire Kinetic Energy calculation are invalid.
The 0.08 seconds comes from Ayanokouji blitzing her, it's not getting that timeframe from "split second"
The "in a split second" doesn't even refer to the feat, it refers the time it takes Ichika to let go of Kushida's arm and look at Ayanokouji

This is literally just a typo on the blog, the value used in the profiles is still only 29.4kJ
This is just a nitpick

So complete disagree on this AP/Speed section

I'm neutral on the LS stuff tho

You claim the 0.08s comes from him 'blitzing her'. That actually makes the calculation even more flawed. 0.08 seconds is the accepted Peak Human Reaction Time on this wiki. Reaction time is a neurological process (eye processing a stimulus and sending a signal to a muscle to twitch).
Ayanokouji moving his entire body behind her, grabbing a 52.9 kg human, and physically forcing her mass to the ground is a complex mechanical grappling action, not a simple reaction twitch. Equating the time it takes to perform a full-body judo/wrestling throw to a literal 0.08s reaction timeframe is the textbook definition of an Assumed Timeframe. You cannot arbitrarily divide a throwing distance by a reaction timeframe just because it was described as a 'blitz'. Without an explicit timer, this is completely invalid.

Okay, let's assume the 29,400 kJ in the blog was just a typo and the profile correctly uses 29.4 kJ. It literally does not change the core issue.

The Kinetic Energy is calculated using the velocity formula (E_k = 0.5 x m x v^2). Because the velocity (33 m/s) was derived from the illegal and assumed 0.08s timeframe, the entire 29.4 kJ yield is built on a fictional number.
Invalid Timeframe = Invalid Speed = Invalid Kinetic Energy. You can't use an assumed speed to calculate a legitimate AP.

Glad you are neutral on the Lifting Strength, as the Calc Stacking there is indefensible. However, the AP and Speed sections of this blog are entirely built on dividing a grappling throw by a peak human reaction timeframe. The resulting KE must be voided."

You are arguing against the principles of all blitz calcs with this

Fair enough. I concede on the AP and Speed sections. If the 0.08s timeframe is derived strictly from the blitz methodology rather than the 'split second' hyperbole, then it aligns with the wiki's current standards. I also acknowledge the kJ issue was just a typo in the blog and the profile's 29.4 kJ value stands.

However, since there is a mutual agreement regarding the Lifting Strength portion, the core issue remains: the KE to LS conversion and the arbitrary multiplier stacking for Ichika are fundamentally flawed.

I suggest we proceed with the revisions we agree on:
Remove Class 5 Lifting Strength for Ayanokouji.
Remove Class 1 Lifting Strength for Ichika.

Thanks for the clarifications on the blitz calc.
 
The reaction speed doesn't even come from the split second part

It's the fact that Ichika has narrative like the white room which pushes humans to their physical and mental peak at a young age hence why she has 0.08
