User:GiverOfThePeace/One-Punch Man Calculations
Introduction
This will be a compilation of calculations in One-Punch Man.
Near Light Speed Pebble Throw
Geryuganshoop threw rocks at Saitama[1] which was stated by Murata to be able to throw objects at near-light speed[2].
Calculation
In this case, he specifically means rocks. Now due to how the sizes of each are decently large, I'll use this site for a basic weigh of rocks, which on average a cubic foot of rock weighs 165.2 pounds.
As they are using near light speed/sub-light along with noting the reason it can do this is that the friction between the rock and air is removed, we'll assume 99% the speed of light for this. The anime further supports this since Gery can make gravity so intense, it's equivalent to a black hole[3].
So this is a RKE calculation, using this calculator, I get the result of 4.1006221931307569e19 Joules or 9.8007222589167248827 Gigatons of TNT, Island level.
Boros Kicks Saitama to the Moon
During their fight, Boros kicks Saitama to the moon[4].
Calculation
Need to find the amount of force applied to this.
So Saitama was launched at 8:02 and ended up on the moon at 8:06. 4 seconds.
The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,400 km.
384400000 m/4 s= 96100000 m/s
Now to find the acceleration, we'll just apply the same timeframe.
96100000 m/s / 4s = 24025000 m/s^2
F = ma
F = (70 kg) * (24025000 m/s^2)
F = 1,681,750,000 Newtons or Class M.
For reference as a KE end out of curiosity,
Plugging it into the calculator, I got 3.5048723583117268e17 Joules or Metropolis level/7-A.

- ↑ Q: Murata sensei, here's a question from overseas, can Geryuganshoop actually create black holes by manipulating gravity? It seems like they care about this a lot.
A: hm~, I'm not sure. Black holes seem too powerful. I won't know for sure without asking ONE. But his ability to control flying objects should be above Tatsumaki, because he can eliminate the friction between rocks and air. If Tatsumaki throws rocks like he does, her output will be too powerful, the temperature increase due to friction and pressure, and evaporate the rocks in an instant. Geryuganshoop's psychokinesis can eliminate the friction between objects and air, the rocks will fly at sub-light speed*, that's the setting I based my drawing on. Tatsumaki can throw very large objects, but there's a limit to how fast she can throw them. Geryuganshoop is the greatest psychic in the universe after all. That's what I think. (he repeats this several times)
Murata: Saitama still beat him with a casual stone throw though. In Saitama's eyes rocks at sub-light speed is nothing, it's like a bad joke.
T/N: The Japanese used here is 亜光速, can mean sub-light or near lightspeed. Murata says Geryuganshoop being the greatest psychic in the universe in a joking manner. - ↑ One-Punch Man Season 1 Episode 11
