During a series of responses on Twitter, a fan asked the official Twitter account of Bridgestone, a Japanese company specializing in tire manufacturing, to intervene in a persistent question fans have about a training session shown in the series of 2019 Machikado Mazoku (aka The Demon Next Door), and the answer surprised many.
鉱山の採掘現場なんかで使われる、ダンプトラック用のタイヤですね。一番大きいものだと4mくらいあって、大型を通り越して「超大型」と呼んでいます。— 株式会社ブリヂストン【公式】 (@BridgestoneBlog) May 28, 2020

In response to a previous post published by Bridgestone in which they explained about the four-meter-wide tires used in industrial mining, Twitter user Yamamaya asked about the weight of said tire, based on the fact that the magical girl Momo Chiyoda lifts it without effort in a scene from the anime Machikado Mazoku.
アニメ「まちカドまぞく」で、その超大型タイヤを魔法少女が持ち上げてましたが、実際どれぐらいの重さなんでしょうか? pic.twitter.com/AEhlAjH3UV— Yamamaya (@yamamaya3) May 28, 2020
The company's official response was that the four-meter-wide model weighs approximately five metric tons, which means 5,000 kilograms. Bridgestone concluded his explanation by asking where Momo got the tire from, and ended his post with a thoughtful-faced emoji. In short, even without transforming, Momo Chiyoda is terribly strong.
弊社の4m級のタイヤだと約5トンですね。いったいどこで手に入れてきたんでしょう…🤔— 株式会社ブリヂストン【公式】 (@BridgestoneBlog) May 28, 2020
