Maki dodges Curse Naoya (JJK)
Today I will attempt to calculate Maki dodging the top speed Naoya from chapter 197 of the jujutsu kaisen manga. Before one brings up the pre-cog, she still dodged him regardless of that. It's a usable feat for her reaction speed, atleast during the CG arc.
Anyways, first we find the distance between her and the woman rights activist. Taking panel length at 730 cm, we get maki height length at 72.1 cm. Plugging that into this formula for angle:-
2atan(tan(35deg)×( head size in cm/ 730))
Angle:- 7.91226584 deg
With pixel calculators, i found Maki's head height to be 23.6 cm (long ahh face). Putting that into an angsize calculator with calculated degree.
Distance:- 170.63 cm or 1.7063 m
Now, let's calculate the distance maki moved to avoid hitting Naoya. Very complicated.
First, I need to find the distance between maki and Naoya after the dodge. Using pixel calculations, I find Naoya's tip height to be 27.4 cm. I will assume Maki moved from his tip, which is assumed to be at her initial position, to where she was following the dodge.
Taking panel length, 730 cm as before and then Naoya head tip to be 181.3 cm. Then I will take Maki's torso as the distance she moved, which will be 473.3 cm.
Maki distance from panel:- 65.531 cm
Naoya distance from panel:- 78.781 cm
So, distance between her and Naoya:- 13.25 cm or 0.1325 m
Maki does about an 8th of a spin, with the diameter being her height. Which is 170 cm.
Therefore, Arc length of circle:- (diameter × degrees × π) ÷ 180 = ((170)(45)(3.14))/180 = 66.725 cm or 0.66725 m
Therefore, total distance travelled by Maki:- 79.975 cm or 0.79975 m
Finally, we can find her reaction speed. We know Naoya was going for his full speed, which is mach 3, based on Noritoshi Kamo's statement. This isn't really contradicted at Naoya was going ballistic and using the same manuveour.
Anyways, Timeframe:- (1.7063)/(1029) = 0.00165821185617 s
Therefore, speed:- (0.79975/0.00165821185617) = 482.296635996317 m/s or mach 1.4
Supersonic
But just in case, I will do one end for him only reaching supersonic speeds, so atleast mach 1.1. As that was the speed of his curse womb form, which should be his casual speed.
Timeframe:- (1.7063)/(377.3) = 0.00452239597137
Therefore, speed:- (0.79975/0.00452239597137) = 176.842099865422 m/s
