User blog:SolZen321/Yeah, Ultraman is strong...

Now we recently learned the the destructive force in the Specium Beam, which is suppose to be the most basic form of Ultra Beam is 500,000 Horsepower. So I decided to do some searching...Tand oh boy, the implications

The Numbers
Does anyone remember the time Ultraman survived that Nuclear explosion is space? No, it's the Episode with Ragon. That is not important (or the fact that unless he somehow absorbed or nutrilized all that radiation it would cover the entire side of the Earth Japan was one, but we're going to assume he did...) what is important is that he withstood that blast.

So to start, let us identify the bomb in the story. The closest I've come to is the Little Boy, which had a blast radius of 15 Kilotons. Now a Kiloton is about 4~5 TeraJoules. Now one Terra Joule is ONE TRILLION JOULES!!!!

So, we have about Four trillion joules, for a kiloton, but wait, the Little boy had 15 of those so that's 60 trillion joules. Now, how much is a joule to horsepower, well, one horsepower is equal to 745.70 joules. So the Specium Ray has an impact force of about 372,850,000, over three hundred million joules.

For those of you still lost, a Joule, is the amount of energy neded to move a 1 kg object and distance of one meter, at a speed of one meter per second. The average 9mm bullets leave its barrel with a force of 470 joules and a fifty caliber clocks in around 3,500 joules, while a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of TNT, gives of only 4 million joules.

Conclusion
I don't even want to try a divide the force by a nuclear explosion to that of Specium Ray, and I especially don't want to divide and see the comparison (mainly because I don't have a calculator that good and I'm lazy), but still...

There are Ultras, whose physical defense, far outstrips Ultraman's, beings like Father of Ultra, Belial, King, Noa, etc. The fact that Ultraman, who could essentially be considered a basic soldier (and who also got stronger after his series) could shake of, all of that. It goes to show, the Three Minute rule really is there to nerf an otherwise overpowered species (though the possible reasons for the specific time are funny)
