Digression from main topic....

Measuring in head lengths is a general length for measuring proportions, as not all humanity are the same height. This is the standard way of drawing a human character in proportion. Based on age, one's body is proportional to the length of their head.


 * Infant/Toddler (<4 years of age): 4 heads tall
 * Child (4 to 12 years of age): 5 heads tall
 * Adolescent (12 to 18 years of age): 6 heads tall
 * Adult (>18 years of age): 7 heads tall

If you look up any drawing tutorial, it will teach you to proportion your character based on your character's head: the ideal adult character height being 6 or 7 heads tall, but adults are considered 8 heads tall in fashion design (in order to show as much clothing design as possible).

Heads are not a measurement. Heads are only an estimate, as they grow in proportion to one's body. This is a reference, as people cannot determine the exact measurements of a character's head length, neck length, arm length, torso length, and leg length.

And for the sake of this debate, I can vouch that Reki did not give information about the lengths of the 5 elements stated above. So, head lengths.

And dear Anon with whom I am debating against, you tell me your findings: all these measurements and proportions, yet you do not show me any proof to back up your claims. Which screen-caps? How do I know which exact scene you are speaking of?

My second reply on refuting your claim included an image and an excerpt from the Light Novel. My third included art styles and a question pertaining to validity of information. My fourth included screen-caps from the anime, with timestamps. I have given you proof from many media, but you adamantly search for information from one source.

You have shown nothing to me, while I have shown you my entire hand. What have you to show me? I refute all claims that you make, while you only refute a portion. What are your thoughts regarding the Light Novel image, the Light Novel excerpt? Even with Commander Heathcliff's reply, you spoke nothing of my analogous question.

'''Show me proof and change my mind. I challenged your thinking, accompanied with concrete proof. You have only corrected slight mistakes, which converged into the same answer. But where is your proof to challenge mine?'''
