Why Magical Girls Are Never Attacked During A Tranformation
As some of you might already have guessed, I’m a fan of Japanese girl idols. One of the many, many idol groups in existence today in Japan is NMB48, a Osaka-based spin-off group of the (in)famous AKB48. NMB has a weekly show that’s surprisingly entertaining as well as educational called NMB to Manabu-kun, in which the members of NMB and a few comedians listen to guest lectures by experts in various fields.
Back on May 15th, the theme of the episode was pataphysics/the science of sci-fi. One of the topics of the lecture held by university professor Yanagita Rikao was the age-old question of “WHY ARE MAGICAL GIRLS NEVER ATTACKED WHILE TRANSFORMING???”
This was his answer, based on the magical girl series Futari wa Pretty Cure.
Question: The transformation scenes in Pretty Cure are very long, so why don’t the bad guys attack the girls in the meantime?
“Even when I was little, I was thinking ‘Hey! Attack them now!’”
“I found this odd as well, so I watched the transformation scene many times. And what I noticed is, when the Pretty Cures yell ‘Dual Aurora Wave!’ and transform, a rainbow-colored column of light shoots up from the ground, going BOOM!”
“And then the Pretty Cures levitate, and go up into the air. Based on this, I believe the protagonists of Pretty Cure are being held up in the air by the power of light.”
“When we think of light, we usually think it heats up things or lights up things. But in reality, light has the power to hold up things as well.”
“When the sun is beating down on us in the summer, the human body is being pressed downwards by the sun beams with a force of 2/100,000g.”
“But this is only about a one-hundred of the weight of a mosquito, so no matter how hot it is, we don’t feel that sunlight is heavy.”
“So that means the light holding them up must be extremely strong. If we assume that the two Pretty Cures each weigh about 45kg and do some calculations…”
“It means the light during the transformation must have the energy of 2,100,000,000kW per 1m2.”
“While the entirety of power that Japan is capable of generating is only 100,000,000kW.”
“So they’re using 21 TIMES the amount of energy the whole of Japan can generate.”
“So what would happen if a bad guy jumped in to try to sabotage their transformation?”
“He would EVAPORATE INSTANTLY.”
“DEATH AWAITS ANYONE WHO DARES TO DISRUPT A PRETTY CURE TRANSFORMATION.”
“So this means the best thing to do would be to transform close to any bad guys.”
“Yes. They are the strongest while they transform, and are practically invincible.”
@i-want-tennis-ball what the fuck is your blog
You don't remember my old url....? O-oh.. no its fine. I said its fine! Don't... don't touch me.
Howdy, hope you dont mind my intrusion in this lovely ask box but I would like you to rate this strange sayaka figure i found. (yes it is official)
personally i'd give it a 3/5. her eyes clearly have knowledge we cannot comprehend behind. i also feel if i incur her wrath she will bite me and it will be a big ouchie :(
[sorry if being silly here is banned i just wanted the opinion on this from the 1# Sayaka expert]
No worries, we all like to receive and discuss the silly here. That’s half the fun of opening mail from the Internet anyways, me thinks.
Right, the rating. I have actually seen this Sayaka figure on Shopee (orange hellsite that drove me broke) before, and the version I saw was even slightly sillier. The poor photo quality makes the toy appear like clay, at least with all the shininess of it, lacking severely in its final polish. The pose they chose for this Sayaka figure to be in looks acceptable on a normal, flat surface [ref: image 1], but then you look at the second picture and all of a sudden Sayaka isn’t just Madokami’s angel, but her feral bloodhound. It is undoubtedly one of the goofiest Sayaka merchandising to exist out there on the figure line. One must imagine what Homura whispered in their ears when this idea was conceived.
Overall, I think it’s very silly, in a cute sort of way. I would not mind having her join my existing collection despite the apparent oddity she presents herself with. 3/5 is a pretty accurate rating, falling in the lane of ambivalent judgement. Although, with how unique it is from the rest of the typically gorgeous Sayaka merchandise, I’m willing to bump it up to a 4/5 given it made me laugh. She’ll survey the surrounding for enemies as you sip your drink! What more could one wish for, really.
Thank you for the ask and kind words 🙇♂️!
