Bleach Big Calc problems

While I agree with the premise, I think using 50km or 85km is just too low. It doesn't work. Even if we use a walking speed of something as low as 2km/h and he walks only 16hrs a day and sleeps for 8hrs, the distance would still be 224km. There's no way possible for 50km to take a week, or even 85km
 
In my experience it is easy to debunk these massive size calculations if you look at the canon interpretation for more than half a second. But I am surprised that people didn't provide the same arguments when the thread was created in the first place. It is common knowledge after all.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone calculated a planet to be the size of a million kms wide at this point.
 
I also don't know why you all act as if atmosphere existing at reiokyu is somehow a debunk to the distance between it and the ground considering the ground isn't a planet similar to Earth and we know nothing about its size+it operates on different laws
The ground has gravity and atmosphere seemingly identical to earth. It even grows trees like earth, has a water cycle like earth, and houses (the souls of) humans. And even despite seeing countless humans like Orihime and Chad walking through SS, we never see them even hint at differences between things like atmospheric pressure or gravitational pull in SS.

So I'm sorry but no, the planet is absolutely not even remotely implied to be the size of a small solar system.

This is a clear example of a calculation being based on vague information leading into a result completely inconsistent with obvious author intentions, and powerscalers rather striving even further from author intent just to keep high scaling.
 
I also concur that 50km is way too low for the timeframe. Just use the highest layer before transitioning to space, which is the Exosphere, about 600km.
 
Honestly, surprised that the distance is roughly 14 million kilometers. Looking at the scans it looks like it’s inside the planet’s atmosphere.

I think 50 to 80 is also low, there sure is a middle ground in between both extremes. Does anyone more familiar with the verse knows a method to calc this?

Multiply jogging speed by a week I guess
 
The anime does not have the timeframe for Ichigo's fall anymore, so this is a non issue
Que? It’s clearly over the AT MOST 6 minutes required to fall from the atmosphere

iirc can’t you just use the freefall time for Ichigo as a basis to grasp distance?

Again, different laws. The SS ground is structurally different from Earth and it's not even a planet at all as proved above. The laws being different than WotL would explain all that.

It's not a planet in the first place, at least not in the way you try to portray it. And we don't know its size unless you want to talk about Muken

Debatable

I'd say it's the opposite here, like the OP which ignores 95% of the context about Soul Society to argue for ridiculously low values. As it was already pointed out in this thread, Ichigo wouldn't even have taken 10 minutes of free falling if it was 50-80 km. And he didn't free fall at all, he used shunpo.

Heck, it normally takes a week of continuous shunpo to travel the distance from Reiokyu to Seiretei.
 
So the dimension is located slightly above clouds since when open you can literally just fly in and out of there.

Idk why are yall acting like it being in a dimension stops it from being located in the same atmosphere.
There being dimensional barriers debunks the assumption that it's capped by the planets atmosphere.....
 
That statement is not literal, or atleast not literal to the point that it means a separate dimension.

You can literally access the palace without requiring some sort of portal or anything implying a dimensional barrier, such ways being a cannon or simply ascending upwards with Reiatsu or down to the Seireitei by falling. In fact, all of the calcs rely on the premise that it is accessible by physical distance
Yea and also I'm pretty sure when Aizen was trying to bring down the Royal Palace, his Reiatsu wasn't just gonna cross dimensions lol.

You can argue the seals prevent him from doing it but his reiatsu did already cross dimensions

Also, he outscales Senjumaru

Do we have any specifics on what "different laws" actually refers to here? Because as far as I remember there's nothing noticeably different about SSs laws of physics - like I said humans regularly go to SS and soul reapers regularly go to WOTL and neither ever point out any differences.

So there clearly isn't a difference so major it'd make the height of clouds literally MILLIONS of times higher.
It's not a planet in the first place, at least not in the way you try to portray it.
You're being pointlessly pedantic. For all intents and purposes it acts like planet earth.

Hell do you know that BIGGER objects are forced into a sphere? Small asteroids can have irregular shapes but bigger objects are crushed into spheres by gravity.

So, IF it's not the size of earth it should actually be smaller as it's not big enough to be crushed into a sphere by its own size.
Debatable
Not debatable whatsoever if you ask me. If the author draws a castle floating slightly above clouds of an earth-like place then it's very obvious they're not intending it to be dozen million kilometers away.
I'd say it's the opposite here, like the OP which ignores 95% of the context about Soul Society to argue for ridiculously low values.
It doesn't. It only "argues ridiculously low values" because there's no better replacement suggested yet.

It's better to have a slightly lowballed size based on blatant author intent than a size inflated by millions of times that breaks any logic.
As it was already pointed out in this thread, Ichigo wouldn't even have taken 10 minutes of free falling if it was 50-80 km. And he didn't free fall at all, he used shunpo.
This is just a strawman because the 50-80km isn't proposed as the sole set-in-stone value but as a replacement in case no better method is found.

You're trying to make the proposal sound worse than it is to hide the insane suggestion that clouds are several millions of kilometers above the ground.
Heck, it normally takes a week of continuous shunpo to travel the distance from Reiokyu to Seiretei.
Genuinely doesn't support millions of kilometers whatsoever. Hell given its an upstair run and that they probably have to rest and can't run at top speed constantly I'd say such a low timeframe goes AGAINST the current distance
 
There being dimensional barriers debunks the assumption that it's capped by the planets atmosphere.....
That's not even remotely true, what?
Why would that be the case?

And that's not even the most damning problem. The presence of clouds directly under the palace is the most brutal contradiction which dimensional barriers do nothing about.
 
I think 50 to 80 is also low, there sure is a middle ground in between both extremes. Does anyone more familiar with the verse knows a method to calc this
Yeah, 50–80 km is just wrong for anyone who has read Bleach.

First, the Royal Palace is stated to be located in another dimension, so the presence of clouds is not automatically an anti-feat. Second, there is the fact that Ichibei sent Yhwach 1000 ri horizontally first, and then slapped him downward as well, yet Yhwach still never came close to reaching the Seireitei. With 1000 ri being 3900 km, so that as well debunk any 50km claim.

An example can be: Since Ichigo took 9 hours and 15 min, since we saw Ichigo breaking the sound barrier:

Speed of sound ≈ 343 m/s = 1,234.8 km/h

Distance: 1,234.8 × 9.25 = 11,421.9 km

That is like a very minimum distance.

Brother if there crossing a dimension at some point the presence of clouds before outer space isn't a debunk anymore, because there crossing into a diff space

I like your methods. But I have a question, why do you guys need that distance if the place is located on a different dimension?

That's such a weird non sequitur (haha big nerd words).

The dimension is visibly located near the clouds as we literally see them right below the dimension, and below space as we know soul reapers can't survive in space and yet they can fly directly into the dimension without any problems.

The fact that the palace is in a different dimension doesn't matter whatsoever, what is being discussed is the distance of that dimension from the ground which the presence of dimensional barriers is inconsequential to.
 
I like your methods. But I have a question, why do you guys need that distance if the place is located on a different dimension?
Because after Ichigo broke the dimensional barrier, we see Yhwach launching two types of long-range attacks: one is Auswählen, and the other is a blast formed from the Soul King’s power. These attacks happen very quickly and they travel and reach all the way down from the Soul King Palace to Seiretei, likely within seconds.

Okay. So for your method, we see Ichigo hitting the speed of sound, but is that by the end of his travel or the beginning of? If it’s the end it probably means his speed wasn’t constant.

He immediately breaks the sound barrier in the anime iirc

He did that at the beginning

Ri can vary immensely in value, what value are you using exactly?
Not to mention Yhwach NEVER flies this whole distance down anyway, he launches himself upwards as he's flying down
11,421.9 km
Even this would again put it far into outer space

Also I wanted to point out that 1000 ri statements shouldn't be used to find a literal distance since it's a common way in japan to say a long distance.
 
When you guys figure out the timeframe issue with the different canons, I’ll evaluate the calc.

You don't know what are the stats of a soul… Also, gravity could be one of them. If you want other laws that are different, you could check thermodynamics and what would actually happen irl if an object would rapidly go to absolute 0

So there clearly isn't a difference so major it'd make the height of clouds literally MILLIONS of times higher.
You don't know that, just as you don't know Soul Society's size.
You're being pointlessly pedantic. For all intents and purposes it acts like planet earth.
All I'm saying is that it is completely different, both shape and size wise.
Hell do you know that BIGGER objects are forced into a sphere? Small asteroids can have irregular shapes but bigger objects are crushed into spheres by gravity.
Once and forever, different laws. Is this the first time you ever hear about a flat realm in fiction? At least Kubo did bring the justification of it having different laws, other authors don't even do that.
So, IF it's not the size of earth it should actually be smaller as it's not big enough to be crushed into a sphere by its own size.
It's up to you to prove it would be crushed following Soul Society's laws
Not debatable whatsoever if you ask me. If the author draws a castle floating slightly above clouds of an earth-like place then it's very obvious they're not intending it to be dozen million kilometers away.
It's more than slightly and the place is explicitly extremely different from Earth. Genuinely, without Muken, you have no way to determine its size.
It doesn't. It only "argues ridiculously low values" because there's no better replacement suggested yet.
There is still no reason to do that and better replacements can easily be found such as using a week of shunpo speed keeping in mind it's a spiral and measuring its radius and angle to determine what the vertical distance is
It's better to have a slightly lowballed size based on blatant author intent than a size inflated by millions of times that breaks any logic.
Slightly lowballed?? It wouldn't even take 10 minutes to reach earth free falling from that distance, it took ichigo like half a day while dashing at full speed. The value in the OP is far worse than the already existing one
This is just a strawman because the 50-80km isn't proposed as the sole set-in-stone value but as a replacement in case no better method is found.
It's still what the OP argues for. There's no strawman here except yours about it having some similarities to Earth as of that would prove its size or about gravity crushing it.
You're trying to make the proposal sound worse than it is to hide the insane suggestion that clouds are several millions of kilometers above the ground.
I'm not saying the current rating is perfect, just saying the debunk in the OP is baseless if you apply even a tiny bit of scrunity. It relies on more asumptions(and wrong while we are at it) than the already existing value.
Genuinely doesn't support millions of kilometers whatsoever. Hell given its an upstair run and that they probably have to rest and can't run at top speed constantly I'd say such a low timeframe goes AGAINST the current distance
Ichigo doesn't have to rest, he can already run on a threadmill for an entire week without a break since before Hueco Mundo arc. Isshin could continuously do the job of 4 soul reapers for 2000 hours without a break. Unohana can fight for 3 days without any break while continuously healing herself and Zaraki. Pre SS arc Ichigo coukd fight wothout a break for 5 days. They do have the stamina.
