Calc Drakengard 2 Feat - Angelus' Rage Explosions

Calculations
These feats by Angelus?

The first of which is easy as hell to scale because apparently the dragon has an official size from some Square Enix card game?

Angelus = 44 pixels
Explosion Radius = 976 pixels
Explosion Radius/Angelus = 22.182
Angelus = 25.4 meters
Explosion Radius = 563.423 meters

because it lets me do a ground explosion rather than SD.net's purely airburst~

Explosion Yield (low end) = 109.447 tons (derived from the 1 psi figure)
Explosion Yield (middle end 1) = 1.283 kilotons (derived from thermal radiation radius)
Explosion Yield (middle end 2) = 1.857 kilotons (derived from the 5 psi figure)
Explosion Yield (high end) = 17.293 kilotons (derived from the 20 psi figure)

Honestly, I love it when it takes me 30 seconds to do this bullshit

I mean, it'd take a bit longer because it still expands for a bit beyond the screen up and until the scene ends, but I can't be bothered to derive a speed of expansion at the moment~

Second gives me no frame of reference from the cinematic alone, but it looks like it occurred from behind some kind of hill/mountain

Anyrate?

The feat

Kind of thought of a way to scale this, if only as a low end *shrugs*

The premise being, while Angelus is flailing her tail in the town she just razed, we can't see it above the hill at the epicenter, thus at least the height represented by the top of her tail should be the minimum height for that strip of hill

I say low end of course because this assumes Angelus is positioned in the same location in the foreground as the hill rather than being roughly the explosion's entire radius away back further into the background (obvious given the explosion never overtakes and engulfs the hill, only really making it glow as it expands to a distance encroaching upon it)

So whatever

Tail = 72 pixels
Angelus = 1275 pixels
Angelus/Tail = 0.056
Angelus = 25.4 meters (official size)
Tail = 1.422 meters

Tail = 37 pixels
Height = 397 pixels
Height/Tail = 10.73
Height = 15.258 meters

As the image pans during the FMV, I use the first scan to establish the epicenter relative to that bit of tree. Second scan I use to measure the height of hill that would need to hide all of Angelus. Third scan gives me the explosion's diameter.

Height = 8 pixels
Explosion = 710 pixels
Explosion/Height = 88.75
Explosion = 1,354.148 meters

because it lets me do a ground explosion rather than SD.net's purely airburst~

Angelus' Rage Explosion (Low End) = 3.205 kilotons (5 psi)
Angelus' Rage Explosion (High End) = 29.838 kilotons (20 psi)

Like I said though, given she's much further into the background (again, given she's at the center of the explosion, she's an entire radius of it away from the hill), odds are this is probably 2 to 4 times larger (and would naturally be 8 to 64 times stronger, yay square cube law~) *shrugs*

Final Tally

First Rage Explosion

Angelus' Rage Explosion Yield (low end) = 109.447 tons
Angelus' Rage Explosion Yield (middle end 1) = 1.283 kilotons
Angelus' Rage Explosion Yield (middle end 2) = 1.857 kilotons
Angelus' Rage Explosion Yield (high end) = 17.293 kilotons

Second Rage Explosion

Angelus' Rage Explosion (Low End) = 3.205 kilotons
Angelus' Rage Explosion (High End) = 29.838 kilotons

I do high school physics for stupid shit because I find it fun for some ridiculous reason.

I'm neither a physicist or engineer. I study psychology.

Before taking me at my word, think for yourself and don't just appeal to the shit I'm posting without evaluating it yourself. That should go without saying. I'm not an expert, do not treat me like one.
