Need to refreshen myself up on Abara, but I know Nihei(spelling?)tends to make his characters pretty powerful. If it’s the series I’m thinking of, I recall a few instances of characters breaking the sound barrier and I think they survived a planetary explosion at one point. Although I might be getting his work mixed up, since he tends to use a lot of the same names and concepts throughout his stuff(at least it seems that way to me).

First chapter feat. Itou Denji traveled 50 km and had a battle across entire city against white Gauna (who could keep up with him just fine). We are given timeframe for this in chapter 2. It was done in several minutes. Keep in mind that it took police some time to find Itou after the fight, so he actually done this all even faster. Itou was blitzed by another character in chapter 2.
Can’t really tell, but it looks like Itou launches himself and destroys the building he was on.

Also, that last one is a nice striking feat for Kudou since he pulverizes it in one hit. Notice the page numbers. That’s the before the fight starts and when it begins.

That’s AFTER the end of the White Guana and Kudou’s fight. You can see that the same guy he saved is suddenly surprised that he isn’t being crushed by a massive chunk of building.

Before that it was moving too fast for people to even see it. Happened right before the above actually.

Well, that’s chapter one. Will get chapter 2 later.
@Rookie I covered chapter 1 already. It’s got 10 links so it’s awaiting moderation, but be on the look out for Post 3. It’ll probably be above this one. Also, that whole fight took place in less than a second. I’m no math wizard, so hopefully Mea, Rag, Aelfinn, Tarbel, TMWtA, or SuperCombine stop by and science the feat for us. There’s a chunk of building that was going to crush a cop, Kudou pulverizes chunk of building, fight starts, fight ends, pulverized chunk of building harmlessly falls onto said cop.

“There’s a chunk of building that was going to crush a cop, Kudou pulverizes chunk of building, fight starts, fight ends, pulverized chunk of building harmlessly falls onto said cop.”

Yep. This is what I like about Nihei works. He loves to do speed characters and they all do not have low end feats.
Abara verse have the slowest speed in all his works though, still this may be enough to keep up with Claymore verse.
“They already out apprently.”
–
o.0 Wow, that was fast.

“Yep. This is what I like about Nihei works.”

Personally, I like the artwork. It’s awesome, just wish there was some color to better tell what’s going on. Well, that’s with most(pretty much all, really)manga.

So… Can anyone in Abara take her on?
forums.spacebattles.com/attachments/teresa_awakening__by_gooloo0_o-d7u7w9e-jpg.4351/
.
Her feats include swinging her sword so fast that she reduced five opponents to vapor in an instant via repeated slashes.
.
Priscilla is also a b*tch to deal with given her insane “regeneration” (not really regeneration as she just spawns new bodyparts and/or alters her physiology at will rather than merely heal wounds)-

Priscilla (as well as other characters) has feats for crossing several kilometers in a fraction of a second, among other things.

“So… Can anyone in Abara take her on?”

I don’t know, will they be fast enough (casual speed for Abara, destruction is from Black and White Gauna moving around in battle, they don’t actually aim to destroy building)?

First chapter of Abara.
This is what Isley’s fight vs Luceia looked like from afar-
forums.spacebattles.com/attachments/abyssal-battleground-jpg.4248/
.
And that was just him shooting arrows from his bow at his partially awakened form-
a.mfcdn.net/store/manga/186/11-063.0/compressed/nclaymore_v11c063_kindred_of_paradise_ii.claymore_v11_164.jpg
.
That battle was felt like an earthquake in nearby regions and completely wrecked the local landscape. When they changed to their fully Awakened forms their power rose by an order of magnitude (actual character statement- a.mfcdn.net/store/manga/186/11-063.0/compressed/nclaymore_v11c063_kindred_of_paradise_ii.claymore_v11_174.jpg).
.
Priscilla stomped him so hard it’s not even funny (general reaction was more along the lines of “slackjawed shock”), and Teresa stomped all over Priscilla even harder than that.
.
BTW, does Abara even have a way to beat Priscilla’s “regeneration”?
.
Nothing short of complete vaporization seems to do the trick.
I’d love to see your scans, Galorian, but besides the last two, none of them seem to work. It could be that I’m on my phone at the moment, but I do recall having similar problems with spacebattles on computers.
Here, I compiled the entire Isley vs Luciea fight into 5 images-

How fast are Claymore characters? A calc I found puts Kudou at Mach 215.
The quicksword was calced at 5 digit mach figures, and that’s before Teresa used her own version of it to cut so many times so fast that the result was the victims being reduced to dust in the blink of an eye.
@Galorian
–
“The quicksword was calced at 5 digit mach figures”
–
If you talking about water scene is was widely accepted to be a huge outliner. I can also use horsemen who outraced Teresa too. Also normal humans in Claymore can often tell what is going on, while in Abara they do not even know about white gauna. Not because those are rare, but because gauna are this fast. So no, maybe Teresa and Priscilla in low five digit, but the rest are most certanly no.
Didn’t Riful of the West cross hundreds, possibly thousands of kilometers in a few seconds?
@Galorian
–
“and that’s before Teresa used her own version of it to cut so many times so fast that the result was the victims being reduced to dust in the blink of an eye.”

Here giant Gauna eat more than 30 000 humans so fast that not a single of them managed to scream and not a single policmen was able to notice it, even those who standed afar and survived:

Walk into this thread and see nothing but ridiculous power levels lol good gracious. 5 digit mach speeds? What?!
@Rookie
.
a) That looks like multiple simultaneous attacks rather than a rapid succession, so the required speed is much much lower.
b) Not having time to scream means, at best, that it happened quicker than human reaction time, which would make the timeframe ~0.2 seconds.
.
There’s also the fact that actually reducing someone to dust by cutting her repeatedly (five someones in fact) would requires such a retardedly f**koff huge number of slashes that doing it so fast that a massively superhuman observer didn’t even realize she attacked would blow the above feat out of the water even if we assume rapid succession rather than simultaneous attack.
@Amm0vamp1r3
.
Claymore be a crazy fast setting. 😛

I don’t know, post this feat. But I don’t remember this to be fair.

I didn’t see any scans in that calc thread.
They’re old enough to have long since been 404’d, but I remember these events so it’s legit.

“They’re old enough to have long since been 404’d, but I remember these events so it’s legit.”

Don’t know why no one on spacebattles ever mentioned them… oh well. Claymore side wins then.
Hey Galorian! It’s been a while.
–
My last post got eaten, but I saw something about “so many sword slashes get turned to dust”. I’ll do a calc on that.
–
Human body has 7 * 10^27 atoms
education.jlab.org/qa/mathatom_04.html
–
Particle of dust has 10^9 atoms
(link in next comment. Length might trigger moderation)
–
This means the body would be split up into 7 * 10^17 parts.
–
Assuming each sword-swing cuts each part into two (for a severe low-ball), we get 836660027 sword-swings. For five people, that’s 4183300135 sword-swings.
–
Assuming each sword-swing crosses a meter, and that this happened before a normal human could react (0.2 seconds), the sword is moving 20916500675 m/s.
–
That is Mach 60981051, or 69.7 times Lightspeed.

While your here, you wanna get a calc going on the everything is standing still feat in post 3? I know I found someone calcing it, but I prefer to get it from someone who I trust more or just a second opinion. Danke.

Man, those are some big numbers… XD
Was going to do chapter 2 now, but I don’t think it’s worth it since they can move FTL.
Rookie… whats with those other pictures along side the ones you linked.. One shows FPA for kain against godzilla…

It’s if (somehow) Kain wins. There is one with Gzilla that has an FPA too.

Riful just vanished to the point where Galatea(who could sense Isley’s battle with Luciela who were in an entirely different region of the continent) was unable to pick up anything.
“69.7 times Lightspeed”

If only we could convert anime speed into rocket fuel. Seriously though, that is redonkudiculous. And this is coming from a fan of DC and Marvel.
Holy shit, this page keeps eating my posts.

Anyway, I calc’d the punch to Mach 40, assuming the container was moving 22 m/s and only moved 1 millimeter and the punch was 65 cm.
–
But I’d like to see the other calc.

Oh, btw, the Flash can probably move millions of times FTL.

Yeah but that guy is powered by an entire dimension of goes fast.
@Aelfinn Post 13. One has it at Mach 215, the other has it at Mach 14,854.427. Although, there is a link there on how many frames per second a human can see. Could help with a certain Anime trope that someone on this site has their panties in a bunch over.
