Possible MHA Speed Upgrade

[Mazdoesstuff]

So I looked at this feat of Deku reacting to Bakugou’s Stun Grenade in Season 3 at point blank. Although nitroglycerin loses its initial Hypersonic+ speed very quickly, Deku reacted to it quickly and in point blank. I did some rough calc estimations and got High Hypersonic+ (potentially baseline MHS).

Here is the feat.

This would may potentially be an outlier, as it’d upscale everyone’s reactions who were comparable to 5%, and would upscale the total speed of all the characters that can blitz 5%.

Deku Dab.

Where's the calculation blog?

Currently figuring out a way how to upload it; although my calc is a rough estimation and there might be some flaws. That’s why I linked the feat so someone more experienced in calcing like Therefir could take a look

Yea, if you change 5% Deku's speed, that's basically like 90% of the verse. Also, that speed is close to Faux 100% Deku and Full Cowl 100% Deku. Yea, people might call out outlier unless we revised the speed of the verse overall.

Oh this feat. Remember someone trying to wank it to FTL on TikTok LOL

1.- What does Naruto and One Piece do in the tags? (also Shigaraki)
2.- What chapter is (of the manga), to be able to have context of the feat

1. Good Question
2. Chapter 119 Page 10-11

Yeah they’re my mutual, they used an argument diff than me. Instead of saying that Deku reacted to tbe explosion’s speed, he said that Deku reacted to the luminosity of the explosion

If we had Sub-Rel top tiers (via Star and Stripes) this wouldn’t be a problem

I might not have a way to back up, but ... Couldn't Deku just be reacting to his arms? The only bakugo attack that requires him to put his hands in that position is the Stun grenade.
And by putting his arms in that position later he cannot react to his next attack (I don't know if it will serve my argument, but there I leave it)

This could be potentially what happened, I need to rewatch the anime clip

However we have no way of judging whether he was reacting to his arms or not from the panel

From this we can’t really tell if Deku reacted to his arms. As soon as the frame starts, Deku is blocking the light, so I don’t think the debunk would be valid

 

[Sparkive]

Watching the anime clip, it can't be used anywhere this time
On the one hand it does not show Deku covering himself, on the other it does not show the movement of Bakugo's arms, they directly put their arms outstretched, it is as if there were a second or two left.

I need some mods to review rhis

I think you need to put the calc in a blog first

Although nitroglycerin loses its initial Hypersonic+ speed very quickly, Deku reacted to it quickly and in point blank. I did some rough calc estimations and got High Hypersonic+ (potentially baseline MHS).

Nitroglycerin does not explode at Hypersonic+ speeds. That's its detonation velocity, which is just the propagation speed of the explosive through itself. For example RDX has a detonation velocity of 8,622 m/s but using this UN calculator you get this result for a 3 kilogram explosion from 3 meters away

TNT Weight for Pressure (kg): 3.42	TNT Weight for Impulse (kg): 3.27
Incident Pressure (kPa): 286.64	Incident Impulse (kPa-ms): 200.41
Reflected Pressure (kPa): 1070.54	Reflected Impulse (kPa-ms): 542.97
Time of Arrival (ms): 2.50	Positive Phase Duration (ms): 0.00
Shock Front Velocity (m/s): 628.25

Unless the explosive was quite literally blown up on the skin no one ever scales to detonation velocity.

Also the only way you're going to get HH+ is if you assume Deku moved after Baku used his explosive quirk when there's zero indication of that in the manga. In fact there's much more evidence that Deku preemptively blocked rather than blocked after the fact.

Deku preemptively blocking makes no sense because the events take place in a single panel, and a “FWWP” effect is shown with Deku’s arm and it’s shown that it has moved.

Deku preemptively blocking makes no sense

The previous page featured Baku making a pose while Deku rushed and the entire fight featured that Deku knee all of his moves but that Baku had improved his reactions enough to adapt to Deku's knowledge.

There's vastly more evidence that he just guarded then putting up his arm after the explosion triggered.

 

[SuperStar]

I think you could make an argument for both sides with these panels, but I'm leaning towards that he didn't aim dodge. Because he was initially, but it wasn't working due to the fact that Bakugo reacts too fast after the fact, and he has improved his skills. If Deku really did know that the Stun Grenade was coming, there would have been clear indication for it, just like when Bakugo first dashed towards Deku and when he used Howitzer Impact.

 

[Qawsedf234]

didn't aim dodge

He didn't dodge anything, he just raised his arm to defend himself because he rushed forward with Baku make his explosion hand signs.
