This blog is to talk about the energy behind D.Va's Mech's Self Destruct technique in Overwatch's short "Shooting Star".

Based on this article: https://www.esportstales.com/overwatch/characters-official-heights-and-ages
D.Va's estimated height: 1.66 m = 565.18px
Mech height: 2.43m = 828px

Mech Height = 2.43m = 360 px
Mech Dots Length = 1.28m = 190 px

Mech Dots Length = 1.28m = 127px
Structure Length = 13.81m = 1370px

Structure Length 1 = 13.81m = 168px
Structure Length 2 = 104.31m = 1269px

Structure Length 2 = 104.31m = 204px
Whole Structure = 874.87m = 1711px
==[]
Whole Structure = 874.87m = 180px
Distance from base to explosion = 2 atan (tan (70deg/2) * (900/802)) = 1.3320062 rad = 76.32 degrees = 41px
- Size of Explosion on ocean = 900 px = 2995.3 meters
- Actual Blast = 919px = 3058.53 meters = 3.05853 km / 2 = 1.529265 km
Ratio difference = (130:41) to (2783.9:878) = 1905.9 meters
Total Distance from panel length = (874.87 * 802) / [180 * 2tan(70/2 deg)] = 2783.9m
Energy blast = 176.1px = 581.85 m /2 = 290.93 m
3036.48m / 2 = 1518.24m = 1.51824 km
Altitude = 511px = 1688.4 meters

Since it is an Airbust (Nuclear Based Explosion as well from the reactor that D.Va’s mech uses) We will be using the Airburst formula to find the results, and divide by 2 because it is non-nuclear.
Total Blast: ((1.529265/0.28)^3) = 162.92 KT / 2 = 81.46 KT (Large Town)
With total Blast, it would likely scale to everyone as she most of her higher stats came from her mech.
EDIT[]
After looking at it more closely, I found that not only did D.Va survive the energy blast itself, but did not even lose consciousness when being hit by the blast of the explosion (in slow motion) before hitting the water and be awake every now and then.
Mech Length = 22.02 px = 1.28 m distance = 349.91 px = 29.1531 m
And making the comparison to the full explosion, D.Va would be 9.2235 px away from the center of the explosion.
I will be finding the body durability from the cross section area, first I will be finding it from angsizing
Panel height = 798 pixels
D.Va = 237.69px = 1.68 meters = 23.56 degrees = 4.0279 meters
Mech = 22.02px = 1.28 meters = 2.21 degrees = 33.181 meters
difference in distance between the two = 29.1531 meters
so I will be finding the intensity of the explosion from the distance which is (81460 tons of TNT) / (4π((29.15 meters)^2)) = 7.62882098 Tons of TNT per m^2
Now I need to find the cross section of D.Va from her height 1.67 meters and possible weight of 52 kg which should be 1.55 m^2 / 2 = 0.775 m^2
now multiply the two 7.63 Tons of TNT per m^2 * 0.775 m^2 = 5.91325 tons (Large Building Level)
