Hunter x Hunter – Hisoka vs Chrollo Feats

Hisoka Races an Explosion

While he doesn’t necessarily avoid the blast, Hisoka does show that he’s moving faster than the explosion here. It also produces a decent sized fireball along with shockwave, so I will consider the detonation velocity  3,000 m/s.

Hisoka is 1.90 m tall. He measures 88 pixels here compared to wall height at 145.

145 / 88 = 1.648 * 1.90 = 3.131 m, height of wall.

Height of wall measures 115 pixels compared to diameter of explosion at 217 and distance from wall to Hisoka’s head at 337. I will need to subtract Hisoka’s height because the measurement of distance should be from the feet in a case like this.

217 / 115 = 1.887 * 3.131 = 5.908 m, diameter of explosion. Radius would be 2.954 m.

337 / 115 = 2.93 * 3.131 = 9.174 – 1.9 = 7.274 m, distance traveled.

2.954 / 3,000 = .00099 s, time frame.

7.274 / .00099 = 7,347.475 m/s, or Mach 21.61

Potential issue here is that Hisoka could have jumped before the explosion. I felt it was at least worth trying, though. To me, the fact that Hisoka is clearly hit by the explosion tells me that he didn’t jump until after its detonation, and protected himself with his aura. Of course, another possibility is that the shockwave of the explosion simply propelled him.

 

Chrollo’s Sun and Moon Final Explosion

Chrollo’s final Sun and Moon explosion destroys both the ring and the ground under it. Due to the debris, but trace amounts of vapor, I will consider this feat cratering and therefore it’s 87 J/cc. Interestingly enough, the explosion is not what kills Hisoka in this fight. Shalnark states it’s the 200 bodies piled on top of him which didn’t allow him to breathe. So this explosion isn’t necessarily the limit for Hisoka’s durability.

I am assuming that the man nearby is 1.70 m tall, the average Japanese male height. The man is 29 pixels tall compared to diameter of hole at 218 and depth at 30.

218 / 29 = 7.517 * 1.70 = 12.779 m, diameter of hole.

30 / 29 = 1.035 * 1.70 = 1.76 m depth of hole.

As a cylinder, the hole would have a volume of 225.769 m^3.

Hisoka, as previously established, is 1.90 m tall. He’s 63 pixels tall compared to width of the ring at 722 and depth at 58.

722 / 63 = 11.46 * 1.90 = 21.774 m, width of ring.

58 / 63 = .921 * 1.90 = 1.75 m, depth of ring.

Volume of the ring, as a rectangular prism, 829.687 m^3

829.687 + 225.769 = 1,055.456 m^3, full volume.

1,055.456 m^3 = 1,055,456,000 cm^3

1,055,456,000 * 87 = 91,824,672,000 J, or 21.947 Tons of TNT.

 

This is about all for HxH up to this point. The Succession War arc is really more about strategy than feats, but I’ll be sure to update the series with more calculations as new feats arrive.

RESULTS

Hisoka Races an Explosion – Mach 21.61

Chrollo’s Final Sun and Moon Explosion – 21.947 Tons of TNT

Hunter x Hunter – Chimera Ant Arc Feats Pt. 5

Power of the Rose

So as many of us know, the Rose nuke goes off within Netero after his heart stops and it reduces poor Meruem to a stump version of himself that doesn’t have long to live after the attack. What amount of power would it take to do such a thing? My interest lies in the scan above. The rose that detonated after Netero’s death was hindered by the fact that it went off underground. We didn’t really get to see what it could do. In the scan above, the fireball of the rose dwarfs a skyscraper, and I’ll use that as my reference.

A skyscraper is at minimum 150 m tall. The skyscraper stands 45 pixels tall compared to the fireball radius at 140.

140 / 45 = 3.111 * 150 = 466.65 m, radius of fireball.

According to SD.net’s nuke calculator, the yield for a fireball of that size would be 1.2 Megatons.

Post Nuke Meruem’s Rage Blast

Meruem’s Rage Blast vaporizes a large chunk of a plateau.

Gon is 1.54 m tall. He measures 31 pixels here compared to Hakoware at 14.

14 / 31 = .452 * 1.54 = .696 m, Hakoware height.

From right to left… Hakoware measures at 7 pixels compared to radius of the blast at 188. On the left panel, the blast is 6 pixels in diameter compared to the plateau height of 51.

188 / 7 = 26.857 * .696 = 18.693 * 2 = 37.386 m, blast diameter.

51 / 6 = 8.5 * 37.386 = 317.781 m, height of plateau.

From top to bottom… height of plateau is 146 pixels compared to width at 515. In the panel below, the plateau is 509 pixels wide compared to top diameter of destruction at 394 and bottom at 266.

515 / 146 = 3.527 * 317.781 = 1,120.814 m, width of plateau.

394 / 509 = .774 * 1,120.814 = 867.51 m, top diameter of destruction.

266 / 509 = .523 * 1,120.814 = 586.186 m, bottom diameter of destruction.

Treating the vaporized rock as a truncated cone, the volume would be 133,503,628.835 m^3.

Rock is 2,700 kg/m^3.

2,700 * 133,503,628.835 = 360,459,797,854.5 Kg of rock vaporized.

Vaporization point of rock is 2,470 C, and the temp change at standard temps would be 2,450 C. Specific heat of rock is 750 J/kg C.

360,459,797,854.5 * 750 * 2,450 = 662,344,878,557,643,750 J

Now we need to find latent heat of vaporization. Rock has a latent heat of vaporization of 4.8 KJ/g, or 4,800,000 J/Kg

360,459,797,854.5 * 4,800,000 = 1,730,207,029,701,600,000 J

1,730,207,029,701,600,000 + 662,344,878,557,643,750 = 2,392,551,908,259,243,750 J, or 571.83 Megatons

I would presume this also means that he could survive a Rose bomb… at least before the poison gets him. So far, this is the most destructive feat in HxH. Perhaps the dark continent will take it further? We’ll see… if the series ends before we die of old age. 😀

RESULTS

Rose Nuke Yield – 1.2 Megatons

Post-Nuke Meruem Rage Blast – 571.83 Megatons

Hunter x Hunter – Chimera Ant Arc Feats Pt. 4

Netero’s Hyakushiki Kannon First Hand

Netero hits Meruem with a single palm attack, resulting in a crater.

Ugh… such an awkward shape. I have divided it up into one half spheroid, and two triangular prisms. Meruem, as revealed in a prior blog is 1.942 m tall. He’s 12 pixels here compared to 72 for diameter 1, 45 for diameter 2, 18 for triangular prism base 1, 25 for triangular prism 1 height, 23 for triangular prism 2 base, and 32 for the height of triangular prism 2. Finally, the cliff in the background is 120 pixels, which I’ll be using later.

72 / 12 = 6 * 1.942 = 11.652 m, diameter 1.

45 / 12 = 3.75 * 1.942 = 7.283 m, diameter 2.

18 / 12 = 1.5 * 1.942 = 2.913 m, base 1.

25 / 12 = 2.083 * 1.942 = 4.045 m, length 1.

23 / 12 = 1.917 * 1.942 = 3.723 m, base 2.

32 / 12 = 2.667 * 1.942 = 5.179 m, length 2.

120 / 12 = 10 * 1.942 = 19.42 m, height of cliff.

Meruem measures 358 pixels compared to 669, the depth of the crater.

669 / 358 = 1.869 * 1.942 = 3.63 m, depth.

Volume of half spheroid: 258.905 m^3

Volume of Triangular prism 1: 21.386 m^3

Volume of Triangular prism 2: 34.996 m^3

Total volume: 315.287 m^3

315.287 m^3 = 315,287,000 cm^3

This is cratering, so we use 87 J/cc.

315,287,000 * 87 = 27,429,969,000 J, or 6.556 Tons of TNT.

Netero’s Hyakushiki Kannon 99 Hands

With Hyakushiki Kannon 99 Palms, Netero pummels Meruem and makes a large crater.

The cliff I measured earlier (The next cliff behind where Meruem was first hit) measures at 27 pixels compared to crater diameter at 199.

199 / 27 = 7.37 * 19.42 = 143.125 m, diameter of crater.

As a perfect half-sphere, the volume would be 767,581.023 m^3.

767,581.023 m^3 = 767,581,023,000 cm^3

Cratering obviously, which means we use 87 J/cc again.

767,581,023,000 * 87 =66,779,549,001,000 J, or 15.961 Kilotons

Hyakushiki Kannon Attack Speed

This scan states that Netero has hit Meruem hundreds of thousands of times since they got into the tomb…

Ok, so this one is tricky, but bare with me. Youpi and Pouf leave to go find the king well after he and Netero have started fighting:

The above scan is right before a reaction shot of Meruem in a crater from Netero’s first attack.

Youpi claims that it would take 15 minutes to get from the battleground back to the palace. This is after he realizes that Meruem has gained his flight ability. Therefore, it would not be much of a stretch to say that it took Pouf and Youpi around 15 minutes to take their trip to reach their king.

However, we see here that after the statement of “Hundreds of thousands of blows”, another minute is spent battling between the two and Youpi and Pouf have not yet arrived. In fact, but the time of the rose nuke going off, they still haven’t reached the battleground.

So we’re down to 14 minutes instead of 15. But I think there’s potentially more to that than one might think. We can use the “mushroom cloud”, in this case, the rose shape, as a reference of time too. You see, mushroom clouds tend to reach their full size in 10 minutes.

So now we’re down to a time frame of 4 minutes, or 240 s.

Yep, we’re back to this one. As a reminder, Meruem is 1.942 m.

137 / 12 = 11.417 * 1.942 = 22.172 m, length of arm.

Seeing as the scan says “Hundreds of thousands”, I can’t imagine this being less than 200,000 strikes, otherwise if it were less, it would have been “Over a hundred thousand” instead.

Now here I assume that one arm extends fully on average to make a hit. I am not including the distance to draw the arm back, because Hyakushiki Kannon has the many arms that can work independently of one another. In other words, it could be making a strike at the exact same time as pulling an arm back, therefore losing no time at all.

22.172 * 200,000 = 4,434,400 m, total distance traveled by puppet arm.

4,434,400 / 240 = 18,476.667 m/s, or Mach 54.34

Just for fun, what about the highest end possible? 999,999 strikes?

22.172 * 999,999 = 22,171,977.828 m, total distance traveled by puppet arm.

22,171,977.828 /240 = 92,383.241 m/s, or Mach 271.72

Netero Flips The Bird/Hyakushiki Zero

Netero’s Hyakushiki Zero completely vaporizes the ground in a crater shape. It’s obvious vaporization due to no debris save for the high amount of vapor.

Meruem is 1.942 m tall. He’s 100 pixels here compared to 230 for pillar diameter.

230 / 100 = 2.3 * 1.942 = 4.467 m, diameter of pillar.

Pillar diameter measures 48 pixels compared to crater diameter at 293.

293 / 48 = 6.104 * 4.467 = 27.267 m, diameter of crater.

As a perfect half-sphere, the volume would be 5,307.971 m^3.

Stone weighs 1,602 kg/m^3.

1,602 * 5,307.971 = 8,503,369.542 Kg of vaporized stone.

I can’t find a vaporization point for stone, so I’ll be using the figure for rock, which is 2,470 C, and the temp change at standard temps would be 2,450 C. Specific heat of stone is 840 J/kg C.

8,503,369.542 * 840 * 2,450 = 17,499,934,517,436 J

Now we need to find latent heat of vaporization. Stone has a latent heat of vaporization of 4.3 KJ/g, or 4,300,000 J/Kg

8,503,369.542 * 4,300,000 = 36,564,489,030,600 J

36,564,489,030,600 + 17,499,934,517,436 = 54,064,423,548,036 J, or 12.92 Kilotons

What separates this attack from the previous one is that it’s doing all the damage at once. 99 palms equates to about 160 tons of tnt per strike in comparison. Taking damage all at once is worse than over time. That’s why this feat is still very impressive.

RESULTS

Netero’s Hyakushiki Kannon First Hand – 6.556 Tons of TNT

Netero’s Hyakushiki Kannon 99 Hands – 15.961 Kilotons Total

Netero’s Hyakushiki Kannon Attack Speed – Mach 54.34 – 271.72

Netero’s Hyakushiki Zero – 12.92 Kilotons

Hunter x Hunter – Chimera Ant Arc Feats Pt. 3

Pitou Blasts Off

Pitou uses En, then blasts off to reach Meruem and Komugi. What’s impressive about this feat is that Pitou covers a long distance in a short amount of time. What is the time frame? That’s where it gets complicated. See, the manga gives time frames every once in while during the infiltration of the palace. However, it’s not all in perfect order. Certain events happen at the same time, in particular, Youpi’s encounter with everyone and Pitou falling from the sky. What we know for absolute certain is that this:

Happens as the last of the dragons are striking the palace. When did that happen?

We see that the dragons have officially stopped at 3.28 seconds. This is also stated to be the same time that Pitou reached Meruem.

3.01 seconds is the time frame that comes before, and this is also when the dragons are still raining in throughout the palace. The only time that comes before that is .98 seconds, and that was before the dragons hit the palace.

Therefore, our best lead into the time it took Pitou to jump is .27 seconds.

Alright, well how far did he jump?

Pitou’s En has a range of 2,000 m. It measures 589 pixels here compared to 418 as distance from Pitou to Meruem’s location, 216 for length of the palace and 149 for width. The last two measurements are for a later calculation.

418 / 589 = .71 * 2,000 = 1,420 m, distance traveled by Pitou.

216 / 589 = .367 * 2,000 = 734 m, length of palace.

149 / 589 = .253 * 2,000 = 506 m, width of palace.

1,420 / .27 = 5,259.259 m, or Mach 15.47

 

Youpi Destroys a Staircase

Youpi smashes a large stone staircase. As we can see below, only 7 stairs remain after the destruction:

Gon is 1.54 m tall. He’s 36 pixels tall here compared to individual stair height of 25 pixels and stairs width of 489.

25 / 36 = .694 * 1.54 = 1.069 m, height of individual stair.

489 / 36 = 13.583 * 1.54 = 20.918 m, width of stairs.

As mentioned earlier, Youpi destroyed the staircase at the 7th stair from the top. From the height of the next stair down, it’s 140 pixels compared to depth of stairs at 147, height of single stair at 11, and depth of single stair at 11.

140 / 11 = 12.727 * 1.069 = 13.605 m, height of destroyed staircase.

147 / 11 = 13.364 * 1.069 = 14.286 m, depth of destroyed staircase.

Depth of a single stair is equal to height, so it’s also 1.069 m.

Treating the staircase as the basic shape of right triangular prism, the volume comes to 2,032.822 m^3. However, we have to account for each stair as well. There are 20 stairs at 23.904 m^3, so it comes to 478.08 m^3.

2,032.822 + 478.08 = 2,510.902 m^3, full volume of destroyed staircase.

2,510.902 m^3 =2,510,902,000 cm^3

There is some debris that shoots away, but at least half of it remains after the initial attack. We’ll do the lower end of explosive fragmentation, 15 J/cc.

2,510,902,000 * 15 = 37,663,530,000 J, or 9.002 Tons of TNT.

 

Youpi’s Crater

Youpi takes a page out of twitter’s playbook and uses some fake rage to make a large crater in the ground.

As previously established, the width of the palace is 734 m. It measures at 210 pixels here compared to crater diameter at 30.

30 / 210 = .143 * 734 = 104.962 m, diameter of crater.

As a perfect half-sphere, the volume of cratered rock would be 302,736.593 m^3.

302,736.593 m^3 = 302,736,593,000 cm^3.

This is about as obvious as it gets, but I’m using cratering, 87 J/cc here.

302,736,593,000 * 87 = 26,338,083,591,000 J, or 6.295 Kilotons.

 

Silva’s Dramatic Entrance

Cheetu is harassing an old man in public, so Silva teaches him a lesson that he’ll only have learned for a fraction of a second before he’s dead. But still… learn your place, little ant!

Zeno is 1.61 m tall. He measures 59 pixels here compared to 220 for depth of crater and 472 for diameter.

220 / 59 = 3.729 * 1.61 = 6.004 m, depth of crater.

472 / 59 = 8 * 1.61 = 12.88 m, diameter of crater.

Clearly this is not your everyday crater. I’m instead going to treat it as a dome, which would give it a volume of 504.46 m^3.

504.46 m^3 = 504,460,000 cm^3.

87 J/cc as this is clearly cratering once again.

504,460,000 * 87 = 43,888,020,000 J, or 10.49 Tons of TNT.

 

RESULTS

Pitou Blasts Off – Mach 15.47

Youpi Destroys the Staircase – 9.002 Tons of TNT.

Youpi’s Rage Crater – 6.295 Kilotons

Silva Crushes Cheetu – 10.49 Tons of TNT

Hunter x Hunter – Chimera Ant Arc Feats Pt. 2

Gon Punches the Owl Ant to NGL

Gon sends a gorilla-sized owl ant back to NGL with Jajanken. Ok so we know that this fight takes place in East Goruto.

Now, remember how I said that HxH’s world map is just like a map of Earth, but rearranged? This is the feat where that will come into play. In particular, I’m going to use an upside-down South America as reference. From top to bottom, South America is 4,700 miles, or 7,563.917 Km.

Upside-down South America measures at 170 pixels from highest to lowest point. The Mitene Federation measures 42 pizels from its two longest points.

42 / 170 = .247 * 7,563.917 = 1,868.288 Km, max width of Mitene Federation.

Max width of the federation measures at 492 pixels compared to the distance between NGL and East Goruto borders at 242, and the border of East Gorudo to the shores of NGL at 343.

If you’re wondering why I took multiple measurements, it’s to giev a range. We know that Gon and Killua are at just the border of East Gorudo at this time, but where in NGL Gon sends the ant is unknown. So for the low-end, we have the border, and the high-end would be the shorelines. The reality would probably be something in between.

242 / 492 = .492 * 1,868.288 = 919.198 Km, minimum distance.

343 / 492 = .697 * 1,868.288 = 1,302.197 Km, maximum distance.

Now with the projectile motion calculator, we can figure out takeoff speed. It appears to me like the angle is higher than the usual 45 degree takeoff angle for lowest-end. I’m going to assume a 60 degree angle instead.

For our low-end distance, the initial velocity comes to 3,226.261 m/s. For high-end it’s 3,840.019 m/s.

Next I need Gon’s arm length.

Gon is 1.54 m tall. He measures 136 pixels here compared to 50 for the length of his arm.

50 / 136 = .368 * 1.54 = .567 m, Gon’s arm length.

Abnormally long for a child’s arm length, but that’s shounen manga for you!

Gon appears to punch in a 1/3rd circular motion, so the distance traveled while punching the ant would be 1.187 m. Next we need acceleration.

a =  v^2 / (2 * d)

3,226.261^2 / (2 * 1.187) = 4,384,481.904 m/s^2, low-end acceleration.

3,840.019^2 / (2 * 1.187) = 6,211,350.43 m/s^2, high-end acceleration.

Next we need mass. The ant in question takes a “gorilla form” and bulks up considerably. For this reason, I will use the weight of a gorilla, 195 Kg.

f = ma

195 * 4,384,481.904 = 854,973,971.28 N, force.

Work = distance x force.

1.187 * 854,973,971.28 = 1,014,854,103.909 J, or 242.556 Kg of TNT, low-end.

195 * 6,211,350.43 = 1,211,213,333.85 N, force.

1.187 * 1,211,213,333.85 = 1,437,710,227.28 J, or 343.621 Kg of TNT, high-end.

So Gon either doubled or tripled his Jajanken Rock power since Greed Island. Not bad!

 

Killua Gets Farted On

The beetle chimera ant lets out a toxin that explodes and takes out a sizable chunk of forest. Interestingly enough, the Bombardier Beetle is a real insect from our world, and HxH took it to its logical extreme, pretty much.

Killua is 1.58 m tall. He’s 17 pixels here compared to 681 for length of tree trunk.

681 / 17 = 40.059 * 1.58 = 63.293 m, height of tree trunk.

I’m using this as an “Average” tree size of sorts.

Tree trunk measures at 40 pixels compared to 425 for full diameter of explosion.

425 / 40 = 10.625 * 63.293 = 672.488 m, diameter of explosion.

No sign of a shockwave, so we use 171 m/s for explosive speed.

From here we just need to use the Taylor Formula.

E = 8*pi*p*R^5 / [75(y-1)t^2]

Where p is density of the air, t is time after explosion has formed, R is radius of the explosion. y is specific heat ration (Will be using 1.4 here as is common). However, instead of using radius, I need to use diameter of the explosion for both the time frame and “radius” because the explosion goes from one side to the other rather than originating from the middle and going outward in a uniform way.

672.488 / 171 = 3.933 s, time frame.

8 * 3.14 * 1.2 * 672.488^5 / [75(1.4 – 1)3.933^2] = 8,934,174,466,884.193 J, or 2.135 Kilotons.

Seems like a possible outlier. Killua took the full brunt of the blast, and up to this point, this is the most powerful attack in the series. More powerful attacks are to come, of course, so as always I’ll let you be the judge. 😉

 

Killua Dodges a Flea Bullet

Killua narrowly dodges a flea sniper bullet. We know that he only has 57 cm to dodge due to his lack of proficiency in En. So how fast is the flea bullet moving? Well, Ikalgo is clearly over 1 Km away from Killua, and that’s the effective range for most snipers in the real world. So I’m going to use the muzzle velocity of an M107 Long Range riffle, 2,800 f/s, or 853.44 m/s.

.57 / 853.44 = .00067 s, time frame.

As previously established, Killua is 1.58 m tall. He’s 242 pixels here compared to the distance from his nose to his cheek at 15.

15 / 242 = .062 * 1.58 = .098 m, distance from nose to cheek.

Killua appears to have turned in about a quarter circle to make the dodge, which would mean that overall he moved .154 m in total.

.154 / .00067 = 229.851 m/s.

 

Killua Catches a Dart

To make a long story short, the Oroso siblings have the ability to play darts, and when a dart hits the board, it materializes and continues to penetrate the target’s skin just like a dart would a board. To combat this, Killua uses an early version of Kanmaru and catches the dart before it can reach his skull.

We previously found that the distance from Killua’s nose to cheek was .098 m. That same distance measures 47 pixels here compared to 146 for distance from his hand to forehead.

146 / 47 = 3.106 * .098 = .304 m, distance of hand movement.

Men have a skull thickness of 6.5 mm on average. Killua’s skull thickness measures at 45 pixels compared to depth the dart has penetrated at 12.

12 / 45 = .267 * 6.5 = 1.736 mm, or .0017 m

Average thrown dart hits the board at 64 kph or 17.778 m/s.

.0017 / 17.778 = .000096 s, time frame.

.304 / .000096 = 3,166.667 m/s, or Mach 9.31.

Hunter x Hunter – Chimera Ant Arc Feats Pt. 1

Eh… since HxH is actually not that long of a read before getting up to date, I decided to go beyond 200 chapters.

Meruem Punches a Wall

Meruem punches a big hole in the rock wall.

Killua is 1.58 m tall. He’s 96 pixels here compared to Palm at 118.

118 / 96 = 1.229 * 1.58 = 1.942 m, Palm’s height.

Both Meruem and Palm are the same in this panel, so Meruem is 1.942 m tall.

Meruem is 73 pixels tall compared to diameter 1 at 273, diameter 2 at 225, and depth of hole at 71.

273 / 73 = 3.74 * 1.942 = 7.263 m, diameter 1 of hole.

225 / 73 = 3.082 * 1.942 = 5.985 m, diameter 2 of hole.

71 / 73 = .973 * 1.942 = 1.89 m, depth of hole.

As an oval cylinder, the hole has a volume of 64.526 m^3.

64.526 m^3 = 64,526,000 cm^3

Due to obvious heat, spall, and larger debris, I’ll treat this as cratering. 87 J/cc.

64,526,000 * 87 = 5,613,762,000 J, or 1.342 Tons of TNT.

 

Cheetu Dodges Some Bullets

Slight rant, but having read the original translation way back before the 2011 anime covered the Chimera Ant arc, I have always known this guy as “Zitoh”. I don’t know if that’s the reason, but I really dislike the name “Cheetu” lol.

But anyway, erm, Cheetu (Ugh) lets some bullets get very close to him, and then he dodges with his great speed. We know that he at least left the panel in the time it would have taken the bullet to hit his eye thanks to the speed outlines, but we can’t assume anything more than that.

I’m using a glock 17 once more for this feat. The bullets for that gun are 19 mm in length, or .019 m. The bullet in the top panel is 45 pixels long compared to the distance from its front to the bridge of Cheetu’s nose at 64. In the bottom panel, the bullet is still 45 px long and now the distance is 31, and the distance from where Cheetu’s nose was to end of panel is 185 pixels.

64 / 45 = 1.422 * .019 = .027 m, initial bullet distance form Cheetu’s nose bridge.

31 / 45 = .689 * .019 = .013 m, distance between bullet and where Cheetu’s nose bridge formally was.

185 / 45 = 4.111 * .019 = .078 m, distance from Cheetu’s nose to end of panel.

.027 – .013 = .014 m, distance traveled by bullet during time frame.

Muzzle velocity would be 375 m/s.

.014 / 375 = .0000373 s, time frame.

Cheetu’s head is completely off-frame in the second panel, however, so we need to account for the depth of his head.

Distance from Cheetu’s nose to the back of his head is 43 pixels compared to the bullet at 3.

43 / 3 = 14.333 * .019 = .272 m, depth of Cheetu’s head.

.272 + .078 = .35 m, minimum distance traveled by Cheetu.

.35 / .0000373 = 9,383.378 m/s, or Mach 27.6

Impressive… most impressive!

 

Bonolenov’s Jupiter

Bonolenov’s Jupiter squishes the ant and makes a big crater in the ground.

Shalnark is 1.80 m tall. He’s 94 pixels here compared to 98 for Bono (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)… I’m not sorry.

98 / 94 – 1.043 * 1.80 = 1.877 m, Bonolenov’s height.

Bono measures at 408 pixels compared to the chimera ant at 596.

596 / 408 = 1.461 * 1.877 = 2.742 m, height of ant.

The ant measures 22 pixels compared to the crater at 315.

315 / 22 = 14.318 * 2.742 = 39.26 m, diameter of crater.

As a half sphere, this crater would have a volume of 15,842.347 m^3.

15,842.347 m^3 = 15,842,347,000 cm^3

87 J/cc for cratering.

15,842,347,000 * 87 = 1,378,284,189,000 J, or 329.418 Tons of TNT.

Bono making Ubo’s crater look like child’s play in comparison! Of course, I think Youpi will have both of them beat in later calculations. 😀

 

RESULTS

Meruem Punches a Wall – 1.342 Tons of TNT

Cheetu Dodges Some Bullets – Mach 27.6

Bonolenov’s Jupiter – 329.418 Tons of TNT

Hunter x Hunter – Greed Island Feats

Gon Punches a Rock

Gon punches a rock and it breaks down. It’s hard to tell if this is fracturing or slightly explosive, but for now I’ll go with slightly explosive (15 J/cc).

Gon is 1.54 m tall. He’s 79 pixels here compared to diameter of rock at 169 and height at 137.

169 / 79 = 2.139 * 1.54 = 3.294 m, diameter of rock.

137 / 79 = 1.734 * 1.54 = 2.67 m, height of rock.

Treating this as a dome, the volume of destroyed rock would be 21.34 m^3.

21.34 m^3 = 21,340,000 cm^3

21,340,000 * 15 = 320,100,000 J, or 76.506 Kg of TNT.

 

Gon’s Janken

Gon hates rocks. This is a well-established fact in HxH. He decides to destroy this one with his new Janken technique. This time the rock is reduced to small rubble and shot away, so explosive fragmentation is in order (20 J/cc)

Gon is 1.54 m tall, as already established. He’s 75 pixels here compared to height of the rock at 121 and diameter at 191.

121 / 75 = 1.613 * 1.54 = 2.484 m, height of rock.

191 / 75 = 2.547 * 1.54 = 3.922 m, diameter of rock.

Treating it as a dome, the rock volume would be 23.03 m^3.

23.03 m^3 = 23,030,000 cm^3

23,030,000 * 20 = 460,600,000 J, or 110.086 Kg of TNT.

 

RESULTS

Gon’s Punch – 76.506 Kg of TNT

Gon’s Janken – 110.086 Kg of TNT

Hunter x Hunter – Yorkshin Arc Feats

Kurapika’s Bullet Timing

Kurapika shows us that he is a very casual bullet timer with this feat. Not only does he block each bullet, he does so with such precision that each link of his dousing chain catches them!

The truth, though, is that there is no way to get the full extent of this feat. At least two different men are firing at Kurapika, so I don’t know who is firing when. The best I can do is figure out how fast he’d need to move the chain to catch two consecutive shots from one guy.

First thing of note is that the gunmen are in the doorway downstairs while shooting. The doorway starts where the railing upstairs ends. We can see that after Kurapika blocks the bullets, he jumps straight up and onto a railing.

We can see that Kurapika lands 4 rails over. With this we can get our distance between Kurapika and the gunmen.

I will be assuming that the swordsman is an average Japanese male height of 1.70 m. He measures 76 pixels here compared to 72 for distance between the wall and where Kurapika previously was.

72 / 76 = .947 * 1.70 = 1.61 m, distance between Kurapika and gunmen.

As mentioned before, Kurapika landed where the fourth rail was, so I measured from there.

Kurapika is 1.71 m tall. He’s 369 pixels here compared to his head height at 57.

57 / 369 = .155 * 1.71 = .265 m, height of Kurapika’s head.

Kurapika’s head measures at 65 pixels compared to 92 for the dousing chain. His arm is 108 pixels long.

92 / 65 = 1.415 * .265 = .375 m, length of dousing chain.

108 / 65 = 1.662 * .265 = .44 m, length of Kurapika’s arm.

After looking into things, with a pistol, the firing rate is too low to factor in to a calculation. The world’s fastest shooter can shoot a revolver bullet every .57 s. In that amount of time, a Glock 17 with a muzzle velocity of 375 m/s would have already reached over 200 m away, whereas Kurapika isn’t even 2 m away. lol

So the best I can do here is calculate the speed required of his chain to block one bullet at a time. One of his swings appears to be a 1/3rd circular motion diagonally, while the other is entirely across his body in what appears to be a half-circle. I wouldn’t consider this a “range”, though. Rather, these are two different swings with two different speeds.

With a 375 m/s muzzle velocity, we can get a time frame with the distance.

1.61 / 375 = .0043 s, time frame.

Combining the length of Kurapika’s arm with the dousing chain length (.815 m), we can get the radius for our circle.

The diagonal swing would have a total distance traveled of 1.705 m.

1.705 / .0043 = 396.512 m/s, or Mach 1.17.

The cross body swing would have a total distance traveled of 2.561 m.

2.561 / .0043 = 595.581 m/s, or Mach 1.75.

 

Ubogin Eats a Bullet

Ubogin makes a joke of the mafia by catching a bullet in his teeth when the gun barrel is right in his face. Basically, because he did this so casually, I can get a pretty reasonable estimate.

I’m going to use Glock 17 as reference once again.

A Glock 17 is .204 m in length. It measures 86 pixels compared to 17 for distance between barrel and Ubo’s mouth.

17 / 86 = .198 * .204 = .04 m, distance between end of barrel and Ubo’s mouth.

We have to account for the length of the gun barrel for a feat such as this, because we don’t see the bullet come out before Ubo reacts.

.04 + 2.04 = .208 m, distance.

Glock fires at 375 m/s, as shown before…

.208 / 375 = .00055 s, time frame.

With such a casual feat, it’s generally agreed upon that he could have moved 1 m during that time.

1 / .00055 = 1,818.181 m/s, or Mach 5.35.

The 1 meter figure comes from the estimation that Ubo could have moved a meter during this time due to how casually he did this. However, I thought it might also be interesting to relate his mouth movement speed to his actual movement speed by using the mouth and movement speed of regular humans.

S for that same feat, he would have had to open, then close down his mouth to clench down on the bullet. This means we double the .04 m figure found earlier to .08 m.

.08 / .00055 = 145.455 m/s, speed of Ubo’s mouth.

Humans chew at 173 mm/s. The average man runs at a speed of 13.62 kph or 3.783 m/s.

3.782 / .173 = 21.861, how many times faster a man can run than chew food on average.

21.861 * 145.455 = 3,179.792 m/s or Mach 9.35.

I know the method is a little weird; that’s why I chose to give a range. But those are the only two ways we can say more than “Ubo reacted in this time.” and actually get a speed from this impressive feat. Which you choose to go by, if either at all, is not up to me!

 

Ubogin’s Big Bang Impact

Ubo’s Big Bang Impact makes a large crater in the ground.

Ubo is 2.58 m tall. He’s 29 pixels here compared to the crater diameter at 184.

184 / 29 = 6.345 * 2.58 = 16.37 m, diameter of crater.

If we assume this to be a perfect half-sphere, the volume of destroyed rock would be 1,148.457 m^3.

1,148.457 m^3 = 1,148,457,000 cm^3

Cratering is 87 J/cc.

1,148,457,000 * 87 = 99,915,759,000 J, or 23.88 Tons of TNT.

 

Silva’s Explosive Orbs

Silva’s explosive orbs blow a large hole in the wall of skyscraper basement.

Chrollo is 1.77 m tall. He’s 113 pixels tall here compared to the height of the pillar at 477.

477 / 113 = 4.221 * 1.77 = 7.471 m, height of pillar.

The pillar measures at 354 pixels compared to 409 for diameter 1 and 499 for diameter 2. The thickness is 70 pixels.

409 / 354 = 1.155 * 7.471 = 8.629 m, diameter 1.

499 / 354 = 1.41 * 7.471 = 10.534 m, diameter 2.

70 / 354 = .198 * 7.471 = 1.479 m, thickness.

Treating this as an oval cylinder, the volume would be 105.587 m^3.

With the combination of burning, fragmentation, and some vapor, I will treat this as cratering, so 87 J/cc.

105.587 m^3 = 105,587,000 * 87 = 9,186,069,000 J, or 2.196 Tons of TNT.

Hunter x Hunter – Early Feats

Wing Flexes His Hatsu

By merely flexing his hatsu, Wing fractures the wall of the room. Thought this would be nice to calculate for early HxH. Wing isn’t even trying here. Just trying to show what the basics of nen can do to the uninitiated.

Gon is 1.54 m tall. He’s 97 pixels compared to Wing at 112.

112 / 97 = 1.155 * 1.54 = 1.779 m, Wing’s height.

520 / 271 = 1.919 * 1.779 = 3.414 m, diameter of fractured wall.

Based on the cracks and texture, I think it’s reasonable to assume that this wall is stone. According to this site, a wall’s thickness should start out at 1 foot, then increase by 4 inches for every 10 m taller the wall gets. We don’t know how high up they are here, so we’ll have to stick with 12 inches or .305 m.

Treating this as a cylinder, the fractured volume would be 2.792 m^3

Fracturing requires 8 J/cc.

2.792 m^3 = 2,792,000 cm^3

2,792,000 * 8 = 22,336,000 J, or 5.338 Kg of TNT.

 

Gon Kicks a Ring Tile

Gon kicks and fractures the ring tile. It looks to be somewhat explosive in nature as well, so I’ll give it 15 J/cc for an energy requirement.

Hisoka is 1.90 m tall. He’s 66 pixels here compared to the tile length at 97 and depth at 7.

97 / 66 = 1.47 * 1.90 = 2.793 m, length of tile.

7 / 66 = .106 * 1.90 = .201 m, thickness of tile.

297 / 368 = .807 * 2.793 = 2.254 m, width of tile.

As a rectangular prism, this would make the tile 1.265 m^3.

1.265 m^3 = 1,265,000 cm^3

1,265,000 * 15 = 18,975,000 J or 4.535 Kg of TNT.

 

Hisoka Kicks a Tile

Hisoka kicks one of the ring tiles into the stands.

Based on the already obtained volume, and stone weight 1,602 kg/m^3, the weight would be 2,026.53 Kg.

The tile exploded into pieces upon impacting the crowd, meaning 20 J/cc.

1,265,000 * 20 =25,300,000 J, minimum energy at impact.

With both the mass and energy, we can obtain the speed upon collision.

v = sqrt KE / .5 m

sqrt 25,300,000 / .5 * 2,026.53 = 158.015 m/s, speed of tile.

As already established, Hisoka is 1.90 m tall. He’s 393 pixels here compared to the length of his leg at 222.

222 / 393 = .565 * 1.90 = 1.074 m, length of leg.

Hisoka looks to have kicked in about 1/3rd of a circle, and with the length of his leg, that would be 1.124 m.

a =  v^2 / (2 * d)

158.015^2 / (2 * 1.124) = 11,107.091 m/s^2

f = ma

2,026.53 * 11,107.091 =22,508,853.124 N

w = fd

22,508,853.124 * 1.124 = 25,299,950.911 J, or 6.047 Kg of TNT.

Oh… erm… basically the same as the kinetic formula above. lol How silly of me to even bother. I basically just calculated in a circle there. >_>

 

RESULTS

Wing Flexes His Hatsu – 5.338 Kg of TNT

Gon Kicks a Ring Tile – 4.535 Kg of TNT

Hisoka Kicks a Ring Tile – 6.047 Kg of TNT

 

Hunter x Hunter Heights/Tidbits

Since going through the holy shounen trilogy, I also found some nostalgia for Hunter x Hunter. It’s another ongoing series, and will probably be ongoing until I’m an old man at the rate things are going. Still, it’s a great series and a fun trip down memory lane. Like the HST, Hunter x Hunter has gotten databooks over the years giving us some important information like character heights. I’m going to list the main character heights here, then rely on Hunterpedia for the rest, who have compiled all given heights from the databooks or elsewhere.

Gon – 1.54 m, 49 Kg

Killua – 1.58 m, 45 Kg

Kurapika – 1.71 m, 59 kg

Leorio – 1.93 m, 85 Kg

Hisoka – 1.90 m, 91 Kg

 

In the case of Hisoka, a databook mentions him being a different height from the manga itself. Obviously in a case like this I’m going with what the manga says.

In regards to tidbits, Hunter x Hunter is fairly straight forward in its feats, I’ve found. It is, after all, by the same author that made Yu Yu Hakusho. So you can perhaps expect some of the same tidbits here as from that series (Minus the lack of given heights).

One thing to keep in mind is that the beginning of the series is almost entirely absent of Nen, HxH’s energy that grants special abilities. So until Nen’s in-depth introduction, there isn’t a lot to calculate outside of slightly superhuman feats. I’m re-reading the manga for fun anyway, so if I find anything from the Hunter Exams worth mentioning, it’ll be on here. Otherwise, it would probably be best to expect to see calculations starting after the Hunter Exam.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention. Hunter x Hunter’s world is like a jumbled up version of our own. Here is the world map:

So how good is your geography? I’m from the US, so it won’t surprise you to find out that only some of this is recognizable. lol

The most obvious, perhaps, is the upside-down South America in the top left corner of the map. The map really only comes into play for one feat as far as I remember, but still worth keeping in mind. Also, we later find out that the “Dark Continent” makes this map waaaaay bigger, but it’s irrelevant for now.

I’ll probably be going through HxH for the next 200 or so chapters, rounded to the nearest arc just like I did with the HST previously. So keep an eye out for calculations!
