Calc Drakengard 2 Feat - Nowe's Speed in the "Thundering Valley"

Calculations
So this exists

And I'm looking at this specific moment here

Watch the chapter framebyframe


Not ideal, but was sadly the best scaling image I could find in the HD upload of the chapter

If someone is masochistic enough to play this on emulator solely to get me a better screenshot, be my guest and send it my way

Nowe = 471 pixels

Light = 101 pixels

Light/Nowe = 0.214

Nowe = 1.78 meters

Light = 0.381 meters


Light = 27 pixels

Lightning Travel = 128 pixels

Lightning Travel/Light = 4.741

Lightning Travel = 1.806 meters


Nowe = 494 pixels

Nowe Movement = 78 pixels

Nowe Movement/Nowe = 0.158

Nowe = 1.78 meters

Nowe Movement = 0.281 meters

Nowe Movement/Lightning Travel = 0.156

Now, what about the speed? In lieu of continuously just appealing to the research of Negima's author and his 150 km/sec (if you've been wonder why we use that, that's pretty much been why for the past decade)? I figured let's update them all with something more scholarly?

Wikipedia cites some study that found an average speed for a stepped leader to be about 440 km/sec. While I can only get the abstract for it without paying for the damn thing, I miss being a student as a tangent, but this other article (web and pdf views) appears to corroborate it as well as listing a minor meta analysis worth of other corroborative past research findings in both its introduction and its own later findings presented in the results/discussion.

As an aside, I find it amusing they give a range of values for the distances they're discussing as of course capturing video to measure the speed of lightning won't have some kind of convenient measuring stick the strikes always land near and in the same field of visual depth for.

All that to say? I'm all for 440 km/sec if only because I can actually cite and find it beyond the research findings of a harem manaka's bullshit.

Lightning Speed = 440,000 m/s

Nowe Speed = 68,640 m/s or mach 201.71

Drakengard 2 is hilariously useful when it comes to feats, especially speed

The fuck were none of you citing this shit for instead of memeing it up when making threads for this verse?

Final Tally

Nowe Speed = 68,640 m/s
About author
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.
