After a new calc I did was approved, and some discussions I’ve been having, I think it’s time to downgrade the V3 characters.
My calc has the explosions the students survived in the tunnel at athlete level. They also survived flamethrowers, which this wiki has at street level. They also survived high falls, which also appear to be in the athlete to street level range. So the tunnel durability feats, which they survived, but still knocked then out briefly, are in the athlete to street level range, meaning this should be the max durability of really every character
Now my thoughts on the current placement;
I think the main feat placing everyone on small building level is flawed for a few reasons. First off, it assumes that the aquarium glass Tenko and Gonta broke is as strong as ballistic glass because it’s made from acrylic glass. Aquarium glass is far weaker than ballistic glass, due to the way ballistic glass is made. It’s made with layers that can help it absorb kinetic energy, while aquarium glass is just thick glass. Ballistic glass is more expensive to make, which is why aquariums don’t use it. I unfortunately can’t suggest any better numbers to use, as there just aren’t really any good ones, since we don’t have fragmentation numbers for aquarium glass, but the current number just really inflates the power of the feat, and I don’t think we can use the calc for it

Scaling everyone to Keebo’s durability also feels flawed. Sure he’s only as strong as a senior citizen, but he’s made of metal, it’s reasonable to assume he’d be more durable than normal humans.
We also say small building level due to Kaito’s body surviving the rocket feat. But he still would’ve did from it. Monokuma was just mad that he happened to die from his sickness first. So he shouldn’t scale in durability since the “feat” would’ve killed him
I also think that, assuming this rocket is more powerful than the one Jin Kirigiri was in is flawed, as we don’t know if they were designed exactly the same, or how reliable what we’re seeing it
We also have some anti feats that really counter the idea of all the characters being small building level. In chapter 1, even though Rantaro didn’t actually die from the shot put ball, it was believable enough that Kaede was executed due to having “done” it. At the height the shot put ball was at, it should have had street level energy when it hit him. There is no approved calc for this, but I think it’s evident enough, especially with the other evidence I’m putting out
Shuichi, in the final chapter, needed Keebo to blast down a door for him, which only needed wall level power. Later in that chapter, Keebo was scared to blast down the rubble that covered Himiko in fear of hurting her, to the point where he resorted to going to the exisals for help lifting it instead. The energy needed to blast the rubble away is only wall level
This pretty consistently limits humans in the verse to athlete to street level.
There is one potential counter to this. Ryoma can hit shot put balls at wall level. This feat and calc are approved and sound. However, I have two solutions. One; we only have the peak humans in the verse scale. Ryoma, Maki, Gonta, Tenko, and Kirumi, while leaving everyone else at Street level. Or, we assume Ryoma can only achieve this level of power with his talent, and leave all the humans in the verse at street level. I don’t think this is too far fetched, as we see often enough that Kodaka makes his characters have power when using their talents that’s far above their normal level, like with Leon or Mondo
