Hello ladies and gentleman, welcome to my thread where I will be debunking the claim of Continental Juubidama.
We have 2 sections to cover in this debate:
- Size of Juubidama
- Claims of vaporization
Let's start:
Size of Juubidama...Not country/continent-sized
Now one would look at the explosion and be in awe, it does look visually nice & big on-paper, but sorry to spoil you that that's no country-sized explosion. For context: when I see country-sized I mean diameter of 100km at minimum. The smallest continent, Australia, is almost 4000km.
Jubidama fails to fully destroy the Hidden Cloud Village despite being shot at close proximity to it:
The Juubidama is actually less than 100km in diameter, proof of this is seen in these 2 images:
- First panel is from chapter 613
- Second panel is from chapter 678
The Juubidama was fired on the Shinobi Alliance HQ, which was located in the Hidden Cloud Village and some of the buildings + mountains remained intact after the explosion. This would mean the blast radius was not big enough to cover all the Hidden Cloud Village, otherwise how would you explain the 2nd panel where the village looks fine?
Unless if we're saying the Hidden Cloud Village is bigger than 100km, which it clearly is not. It is a village after all, not to mention the Hidden Leaf Village actually has the highest population out of the 5 Hidden Villages:
According to Kai no Sho, Konoha has the highest population out of all the five main hidden villages.
This is the size of Hidden Leaf Village:
Jubidama width next to nearby cloud:
Juubidama horizontal width is comparable to the width of nearby cloud:
Judging by the shape and appearance of these clouds, they look like Cumulus Cloud, which on average are 3-10km

The crater size of Juubidama
Hmm...country or continent sized, right?
Mind you, the Boruto anime is canon.
Claims of vaporization...no signs of vaporization
Another argument I see is that, the Juubidama deals vaporization damage and because vaporization takes extreme energy that if you multiply by the cubic volume of the explosion it's possible to get continental yield, depending on how you calculate the cubic volume that is.
Let's get some simple science on the matter:
The correct scientific term would be sublimation rather than vaporization when describing a solid object transitioning into gas, although that's a minor point. In CV we use vaporization and sublimation interchangeably, so I'll just use vaporization for simplicity.
When quantifying proof of vaporization we have 2 necessary criteria, as stated by VS Battle Wiki:
Vaporisation: Applied when the matter that was destroyed was vaporised during the attack. Much like for Pulverization, we usually use this value when we see no remains of the matter that was destroyed in the attack, but in addition there has to be a considerable amount of visible vapor and/or character statements that imply vaporization, usually the latter. The value is 25700 (J/cc).
- There has to be no remains
- It must show major amount of vapor or character statement
Does the Juubidama actually fit the 2 criteria? Well, let's find out:
We see the Jubi fire its nuke in one of the cities and it was caught in the blast (right bottom panel), and the debris is only fragmented. This is the aftermath of the explosion:
That's only dust cloud, not vapor. It also ironically slaps the exaggerated size of the Jubidama, given certain parts of the city and the surrounding mountains were not affected by the explosion, despite being right next to it. You'd expect more of a country-continental explosion, wouldn't you agree?
Juubito's 4 Biju Dama
Juubito shoots 4 massive Biju Damas and the ground beneath isn't vaporized. Not even a crater is formed, and we only see dust cloud, no signs of vaporization.
Naruto's Rasenshuriken-Biju Dama
EOS Naruto throws Rasen-Bijudama at a meteor and the damage done is not vaporization, as some of the rocks have not turned into gas:
Naruto himself states his Bijudama Rasenshurikens will only pulverize:
I'm gonna pulverize all of the meteorites with these, so you're safe
So we even have an official confirmation on the type of damage it produces, which is pulverization and not vaporization. I might add this was an attack from EOS Naruto which is stronger than Juubidama.
Juubidama fails to vaporize the sea or lake
We see the Jubi shooting one of its nukes on a body of water, which exploded and not even a fraction of it was vaporized, let alone the whole thing:
Whether this was a sea or an ocean, the Juubidama did not yield the energy to vaporize that body of water, otherwise it should have. For an explosion that's supposed to be Country or Continental+ level, it should have the feats to back it up.
Calculation showing Juubidama is in the island level range
So how would one then calculate the power of the Juubidama then? You can use the on-ground explosion yield calc, which goes like this:
W = R^3*((27136*P+8649)^(1/2)/13568-93/13568)^2
- · W = yield in tons of TNT
- · R = radius in meters
- · P = pressure

I did my version of this by assuming a 250km radius for the Juubidama (which by now you should know is an extreme highball) and the result I got will surprise,
250000 ^ 3 * ((27136*1.37895+8649) ^ (1/2)/13568-93/13568) ^2
W = 1.2557568e+12 tons of TNT which is equivalent to 5.2540864512e+21 joules and equals to Large Island or Small Country.
Again, this is me assuming a 250km radius. You can take that with a grain of salt. The reality is, the radius is much smaller than that which will result in energy lower than you might imagine.
With all the myraid of proof here, it should be no doubt the Juubidama is not Country Level nor Continental nor Multi-Continent. It never has been and it never will be.
