Black Waltz 3's Durability
drive.google.com
Basically, Black Waltz 3 causes an explosion from the Airship he's piloting and halts the momentum of South Gate closing and damages it to an extent it needs repaired and becomes unusable for a while.
I'm aware that the Airships have official sizes (here), but so does the South Gate (here) and that's vastly contradicted by actual presentation (here and here) even considering the official size of the Airships, so fuck it.
Window = 14 pixels
Wingspan = 530 pixels
Wingspan/Window = 37.857

Ergo, 1 pixel = Church.
And that is the case here, this image is directly ripped from the game file. The image fidelity is exactly as it is presented in the sold product.

Lower than before, but that's both because of the altered understanding of FPS lowering the speed because higher time frame and the decrease in overall density.
Not that it matters, Kuja scales to roughly 1/4th Alexander's Power in base by having countered this, as this sandstorm is powered by 1/4th the crystal that summons Alexander.
