Talk:Saitama/@comment-165.120.217.255-20150505222315

In response to Davy0 -- I can't reply directly as his comment was a response. Your reasoning behind Saitamas speed has convinced me. Genos mentioned there was ~30 seconds til impact after meteor entered atmosphere, which we will say is ~100,000m. Speed of meteor = D/T = ~3333 meters per second

Saitama began his attack with 9 seconds to go. Distance left til impact = S*T = ~30,000m. If we assume he leapt that distance in 3s (high estimate) given the height of the meteor shown is around the same. Speed of Saitama = D/T = 10km/s = ~30 Mach

So even with an estimates that should have made him slower than he probably is, he still comes up as surpassing hypersonic speeds. He could have leapt the distance in 0.2 seconds from all I know (440 Mach!).

Though as always with applying napkin math to manga and judging estimates based on artwork, these could be waaaay off from what was intended by the author. But even still, even if I was far off, the numbers should still show anything above 10 Mach, no doubt.

Thanks for reminding me of that part.
