Silver Chariot is 200x to 1500x times faster than light

Got a bit too carried away in an argument there and made these moderately amusing pictures.

By how much are Ratt's bullets faster than light?

They are so fast that Jotaro can't dodge them or deflect them with Star Platinum's Massively FTL reaction and has to use The World to avoid them. And then even he is overwhelmed when they ricochet off of some rocks. Does Ratt solo my favourite verse?

Dabura moving at sub-light speeds is good writing, actually

People often forget that it's literally impossible for an object with mass to move at lightspeed, let alone faster than light in the real world. So do the shounen authors. They write whatever they think is cool, not caring about the physics, sometimes not even knowing that whatever they've depicted would have to be faster than light to work.

Dabura is one of the very few characters that I know of who really sells the sheer gravitas of even merely approaching the speed of light. Gege actually considered the kinetic energy of moving at such a speed, and Iwasaki portrayed the destruction beatifully.

This feat is so insane, not even Dabura's body can handle it, showing that he, perhaps even, bit off more than could chew, yet looking at that explosion, you can't help but wonder... Can someone really stop this guy? And then, we see that Mahoraga actually survived that, and... It's just hype, man. Hype moments and aura.

What I say is, the powerscaling brain can look at Dabura and laugh "haha, look at this sub-light fodder who hard capped the verse!" Let's not forget that it's one of the best depictions of sub-light speed from a real-life point of view and also a wonderful depiction of the strongest, character so above anyone else it almost feels, well...

Alien.

I actually don't remember. Has this ever been stated?

I have read Part 2 as it was ongoing, yet I can't seem to remember this being stated. Usually, when showing an important feat, Death Battle shows a scan or a page with it being stated or showcased, but here, it is relegated to the black box and no showcase is given. Has Yoru ever said outright that her weapons retain the mass of the objects she turns? When how come things like her uniform and soap make for effective weapons? I thought it was about Asa's connection and guilt about the items?

I like how Julius is 100% factually correct here

All of Gilbert's power is inherited. His Wu genes, his Guihun, heck, even his techniques. He didn't really have to put in the work to develop or master anything, the magic Huisheng did it for him.

Meanwhile, Julius is mostly a self-made man. Sure, the fact that he survived all the steroids might have to do with luck or genetics, but he literally put his life on the line to attain this power. And even still, he kept developing, inventing a unique form of muscle control no one else can do.

Gilbert didn't invent crap. In fact, he is more of a princess than Raian is. At least Raian actually trained.
