Really gotta give the villains credit for not attacking while the heroes morph or power up or whatever.

There's a YT video that humourously talks about the villain being physically unable to attack during transformations as the sequence releases so much energy their weapons would be of no use.

I saw one similar to that.. it might have been the same one but I remember being about magical girls transforming and light.

Since magical girls transformations involve lights and them levitated off the ground so a considerable amount of energy is being used.

Light has little to no mass so it would take over 100 gigawatts of power to lift 50kg (110lb) teenager using light.

An average nuclear power reactor produces about 1 gigawatt of power and there are only 94 in the US.

So... a magical girl transformation generates roughly the same amount of power as of every nuclear reactor in the US at the same time.

That sounds like the one I was thinking of 😁
