Lord Boros currently scales to Class P in Lifting Strength based on this calculation of his moon kick feat.
This is wrong for two reasons:
1. The calculation isn't correct.
2. This isn't a demonstration of lifting strength in the first place.
Let me explain.
-
In the calculation, it assumes that Boros' initial velocity is 0.
"We have to use the constant acceleration equation for this which is V^2 - U^2/2*S
With V being the initial velocity, U being the final velocity and S being the distance traveled
0^2 - 269813212^2/2 * 2.299741288 = 1.58276867*10^16 m/s^2"
(They actually put the calculation backwards. It should be 269813212^2 - 0^2/2 * 2.299741288 = 1.58276867*10^16 m/s^2. Where V is the final velocity and U is the initial. Just a minor mistake on their part, the result is still correct but the issue here remains)
This isn't true at all as Boros clearly came at Saitama extremely quickly, before shifting his momentum into his kick.
Just because this was initially a horizontal movement, does not mean it doesn't account for the initial velocity. It's just velocity, has nothing to do with the direction he's going. And the velocity would still matter as he is shifting the energy into the kick as he arcs his leg upwards.
Adjusting this value would significantly reduce the final result of this calculation.

Next, why this isn't LS.
The reason is quite simple, really. This is a kick. A striking action with a single point of impact which does not relate to LS in the slightest. This not a lift, or a push as some people have been claiming it is. But in case you still believe what you're looking at is something else. Murata has said it himself.
And not only is this a striking action, but Boros even releases an explosion of energy that further blasts him away. The same way this explosion blasted him away just moments previously.
Ziller on the OPM thread claimed that Boros didn't release energy here and it is just a light beam. This is a ridiculous claim. Not only did Murata confirm it to be Boros' energy in this same scan, but even in the anime we can see that both his initial Meteoric Burst blast and the blast from this attack are drawn the same way. So, unless you guys want to grandstand that all of Boros' energy attacks are just some flashy light and Murata is lying, please don't bring up this argument again.
Due to these factors, this is clearly a result of Boros' striking and energy projection power, rather than his lifting strength.
He should not scale to this feat.
