Was debating durability and how many thin ice breakers a base Kashimo can take and remembered the steam explosion feat, and I need EVERYONES HELP to rectify any wrong portrayal I may have done cause I love Kashimo to death and need help power scaling:

Comment starts here:
the steam explosion he caused is roughly near a naturally occurring one which IN REAL LIFE(in case you’re wondering no I don’t believe this but I’m comparing to it so it’s plausible at best) release energy in the megaton range, rivaling or exceeding the largest nuclear warheads

To check the science on this, we gotta know where the fight takes place, which is the Miyashita park’s docking center near Shibuya which in its docking center ONLY has ROUGHLY CALCULATED AND ESTIMATED BTW: 500,000 to 1.5 million gallons

And Kashimo was able to generate a steam explosion with all his energy that was leeched out

To break down the TLDR for the steam explosion he took: The vaporization alone is small town level at 587-675+ gigajoules

And the underwater explosion they were BOTH submerged in is about 40-378 KILOTONS OF TNT at large town level which BOTH tanked with only one being injured

Kashimo took 0 repercussion and crawled back to land with not a scratch on him, while Hakari had to make a death binding vow to sacrifice his arm being blown off in return for RCT to heal his body and keep it from exploding from the force of BOTH small/large town events

This should tell you that:

A. JJK scaling is wildly inconsistent and could be helped by gege’s health or HR/editors not rushing his story

B: Kashimo is busted

C: Kashimo top 3 STAND UPPP

You know how Gege always tries to write techniques with in-depth explanations from science or occurrence involving how science works? Well here’s a history lesson for you Projection Sorcery homeboys- rate it out of ten

Akin to burning rubber on tires from turns, I’d like there to be a flaming aspect similar to chemical combustion-

Here’s an excerpt from some movie documentation in the 1930’s:

Before safety film was introduced, movie film was made of highly volatile cellulose nitrate, which was chemically similar to gunpowder and could combust spontaneously:

1937 Fox Vault Fire (Little Ferry, New Jersey): On July 9, 1937, decaying nitrate film spontaneously combusted due to a summer heatwave, destroying tens of thousands of reels. This wiped out most of Fox Film Corporation's silent films made before 1932

If there was a way for him in his human form to make air frames that combust after a certain threshold of speed breaks them and boost his speed until he’s a flaming mass of cursed energy- it would be actually explosive and be more reflective of the olden time values he shows in a body of a modern boy- reflecting how his hateful personality burned so hot it caught fire.

TLDR for the JJK “fans”: old film stock used to catch fire due to the chemicals used to capture frames so if a PS user:

1. Froze air frames in front of them
2. Built up enough speed to break through them
3. The explosive combustion from the frames propel the user
4. Make them a flaming human rocket that can smite anyone at above Mach 3 at the cost of air friction damaging the body and making the flesh catch fire à la Back To The Future time travel fire trail

Rate based on how it helps the technique, both Naoya and curse-ya for both power scaling and as a narrative plot device(similar to Ogi)
