Film Theory: The GROSS Truth of Bakugo's Quirk! (My Hero Academia) - Summary

Summary

The video creator from "Film Theory" analyzes the anime series "My Hero Academia" and focuses on the character Bakugo, who has the power to produce massive explosions by sweating a substance similar to nitroglycerin. To calculate how much Bakugo would need to sweat to produce his explosions, the creator uses a scene from the anime where Bakugo is training and creating large explosions. By measuring the size of the explosion and using the properties of nitroglycerin, the creator estimates that Bakugo would need to produce around 2,023.5 liters of sweat to create one of his explosions. This is an incredibly large amount, equivalent to 2,000 times the amount of sweat a person would produce during an hour of exercise. The creator also calculates that Bakugo would be sweating at a rate of over 1 million times faster than a normal person, and that he would be able to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool with his sweat in just 34 minutes.

Facts

Here are the key facts extracted from the text:

1. Baku Go is a character from the anime series "My Hero Academia".
2. He has the power to produce massive explosions.
3. His power is a byproduct of his ability to sweat a substance similar to nitroglycerin.
4. The substance he sweats can be detonated at will.
5. The size of the explosions he produces is directly related to the amount of sweat he produces.
6. In Season 3, Episode 3 of the anime, Baku Go is shown to be pushing himself to his limits to unleash his full strength.
7. The size of the explosions he produces in this episode is used as a benchmark to calculate the amount of sweat he would need to produce.
8. The diameter of the fireball he creates is measured to be 2545 cm across and 716 cm tall.
9. Using the formula for the volume of a spherical cap, the total volume of the explosion is calculated to be 2428.2 cubic meters or 2,428,200 liters.
10. When nitroglycerin explodes, it expands to 1200 times its original liquid form.
11. Dividing the volume of the explosion by 1200 gives an estimate of the amount of sweat Baku Go would need to produce, which is approximately 2023.5 liters.
12. For comparison, an average human produces between 0.8 and 1.4 liters of sweat during an hour of exercise.
13. An average person produces just 1 liter of sweat after 15 minutes in a steam room.
14. Baku Go is sweating at least 2000 times that amount.
15. The time between explosions in the scene is 5 seconds.
16. Assuming the whole fireball is 3-4 times the size of what can be measured, Baku Go is probably producing closer to 6000 liters of sweat in 5 seconds.
17. This is approximately 100-150 times the total volume of liquid contained in the average human body.
18. If a real person were to sweat this much, they would likely die from rapid fluid loss.
19. Baku Go's sweat rate is over a million times faster than the average human being.
20. He would be able to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool with his sweat in 34 minutes and 43 seconds.
