Last one, I swear (TTGL)

Decided to just compile the rest of these calcs into one blog, 'cause you're all probably tired of my shit.

Alright, let's get started.

Spoiler: Ashtanga throws some planets

When Chouginga-Gurren Lagann emerges from the superdense space, big face guy decides to chuck a few, y'know, motherfucking planets at the thing.

This is going to use scaling for the head on Ashtanga's forehead from this calc.

Spoiler:

(2726.4/2)50=68160km

So this planet here is 68160km in diameter. Just to give an idea of what Chouginga-Gurren Lagann no-sold.

Spoiler:
X


41-12=29px

(2726.4/2)29=39532.8km

This takes 1 frame to occur in an episode with a frame-rate of 24fps, giving us a time-frame of 1/24s.

39532800/(1/24)=948787200m/s

or about 3.165c.

Can't get KE with that, unfortunately, but Chouginga-Gurren Lagann moves quickly compared to these things.


Spoiler: Chouginga Dai-Kutta

Spoiler:
X


(2726.4/2)509.8=694959.36km

Chouginga-Gurren Lagann sends its boomerang Ashtanga's way and easily cleaves it in two. After reaching the end of Ashtanga, the boomerang returns in 8 frames. Again, the frame-rate of the video is 24fps. This gives us a time-frame of 1/3s.

694959360/(1/3)=2084878080m/s

or about 6.95c.

Fun Fact: Unless I'm mistaken, Ashtanga is about 5 times as long as the diameter of the VB 10 star.

Fun Fact #2: Chouginga-Giga Drill Breaker rips through several of these bad boys.


Spoiler: Chouginga-Gurren Lagann pierces space-time

Spoiler:
X


A bajillion beams are launched, but the fastest one seems to be the one that actually comes from Chouginga-Gurren Lagann all the way past the video frame.

Anyway, now we gotta angsize.

2atan(3/(580/tan(70/2)))=0.415021668708

Using the 908.8km value for Chouginga-Gurren Lagan's face, we get a distance of...

125460km.

Shit happens in 1 frame, and I assume by now that I don't need to tell you the frame-rate of my TTGL episodes.

125460000/(1/24)=3011040000m/s

or about 10.04c.


Spoiler: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann dodges some beams

These next two calculations are going to work under the assumption that TTGL is, indeed, 10 million Ly tall.

Spoiler:
X


(10000000/185.84)192.9=10379896.68532Ly

The beam crosses this distance in 1 frame, or 1/24th of a second. There are 3.15569e7 seconds in a year.

(10379896.68532/(1/24))3.15569e7=7,861,376,681,015,393c

That's about 8 quadrillion times the speed of light.


Spoiler: Gran Zamboa swings TTGL

Spoiler:
X


2atan(60.93/(580/tan(70/2)))=8.413973392634

Using the angsize calculator, we get...

67974000Ly.

Gran Zamboa swings TTGL to the frame in 2 frames. This makes a time-frame of 1/12th of a second.

(67974000/(1/12))3.15569e7=25,740,584,647,200,000c

That's about 26 quadrillion times the speed of light.


Final Tally:

Ashtanga throws some planets: 3.165c

Chouginga Dai-Kutta: 6.95c

Chouginga-Gurren Lagann pierces space-time: 10.04c

TTGL dodges some beams: 7,861,376,681,015,393c

Gran Zamboa swings TTGL: 25,740,584,647,200,000c
