Later the two of them train for what I think was eight months, and seem to have made crazy gains as Piccolo is at least in the same order of magnitude of power as Base Goku and Vegeta, and base Gohan was fighting on par with him, and was training himself ever since then.

Now I think the simplest explanation - one that doesn't involve "two bases," or retcons, or just outright ignoring stuff - is to take it for what it is, and accept that Gohan and Piccolo just increased in power a lot since RoF arc. I think a lot of people are balking at it because that would mean some truly crazy gains for no adequately explained reason, but I think that at this point we should just accept that Super is just a lot more generous with power increases that Z ever was. There's no in-universe reason for that, it's just how the series is written now.

With that said I would put the power scale somewhere like:


Base Goku>>Ultimate Gohan>=Current Base Gohan>ss3 Gotenks>= Current Piccolo> Super buu > ss2 gotenks > ss gohan (rof) > ss gotenks > buu >Base Gohan (rof)>Piccolo (rof)

It's not perfect, or free of contradictions, but I don't think we can make one at this point without outright ignoring stuff that's inconvenient to our vision.
Current Piccolo is not stronger than Boo.

How do you guys explain Base Black being able to kick SSB Vegeta, speed surprising him and being able to take many hits without scratches?
Other than inconsistent power levels, by the way.
Only way I can explain it is that Black powers up incredibly after fighting Goku, and when he goes Rosè it is only a 2x boost.

Your list with the 2 base theory was a lot better. At this point I don't think power levels can be properly explained without resorting to the two base/retcon theories.

I always suspected that power gains for the side cast were largely based on motivation, becoming galvanized by whoever is the strongest in the group at the time and how strong they are. That's basically how it's always worked anyway, and the Super Saiyan God spectacle everyone witnessed would only accelerate it further. Unprecedentedly so.

Yeah I suppose you're right. I should have put them in that Inbetween Tier.

I have the Frost that fought Piccolo as being about 4-5 times as strong as him. Back at the start of Z Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon had three times the power of Piccolo. When Piccolo was fighting Frost he said he was charging up an attack far beyond his normal limits.

So yeah Frost would be over three times as strong but couldn't be too much more that that.
I mean if Piccolo and base Goku are both 1s, and SS Goku a 50, then what was final form Frost originally? 35 and then he dropped to under 2?
Well that can be figured out perhaps. If we assume the gap between Frost's forms are the same as Frieza's then Frost would have got about 30 times as strong between his third and final form.

His third form was implied to be weaker than Base Goku (it's more clear in the manga) so he could be a 25? Simply put roughly around half as strong as Super Saiyan Goku.

Perhaps Barry Khan level?

Where are you getting a 30x gap between Freeza's 3rd and 4th forms? It's a ~60x gap at least.

Oh yeah you're right, I have no idea what I was thinking there. Well forgot what I said about that then. That just makes Assault Form Frost much weaker than I thought.

In the manga Frost did put up a better fight against both Goku and Vegeta than in the anime, he did awful in the anime.

Not sure about that. I'd think Piccolo's ability to even survive should take priority rather than extrapolating from that vague statement. If Frost was four times as strong as Piccolo or whatever, why would he need to cheat to win? Why couldn't he simply speed blitz Piccolo and kill him in one blow with even more ease than Goku took apart the Ginyus or Nappa took out Tenshinhan? Or Recoome took out Gohan and Krillin? Or, to use a more relevant example, the same ease with which Raditz showed he could take out Piccolo? Et cetera.

I don't think applying the same logic with Freeza's transformations really works here; manga-wise the difference between Freeza's final form and third form should be much bigger than the difference between Goku's base and SS, while the difference between Frost's 'assault form' and final form is clearly much smaller than the difference between Goku's base and SS.

Back in the Freeza arc, base Goku was much stronger than base Vegeta, and base Vegeta must have at least been much stronger than third form Freeza to be confident at all about facing his final form. Final form Freeza, as we all know, was 120 million, while base Goku was 3 million. Logically 3rd form Freeza could've been no higher than 2 million (x60 difference from his final form) and might have been lower.

Since there's really no indication of how strong Frost is other than "stronger than base Goku but way weaker than SS Goku", and his fight with Piccolo suggests he's not too far off from saiyan base forms, I'd probably put him as a 10 or something if base Goku is a 1.
Oh yeah you're right, I have no idea what I was thinking there. Well forgot what I said about that then. That just makes Assault Form Frost much weaker than I thought.

In the manga Frost did put up a better fight against both Goku and Vegeta than in the anime, he did awful in the anime.
Speaking of which, doesn't Cabba regard Frost as stronger than him too? In any case he at least thought Frost was strong enough to be Emperor of the Universe while regarding himself as a relative weakling... and he didn't know Frost could transform. So either there's not a big difference between Frost's forms period (1st form Frost ~ base Goku, Assault Form Frost > base Goku but only moderately, and final form Frost > base Goku but not by multi-folds), or Cabba should be regarded as a weakling as well if Frost's restricted forms are.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Back in the Freeza arc, base Goku was much stronger than base Vegeta, and base Vegeta must have at least been much stronger than third form Freeza to be confident at all about facing his final form. Final form Freeza, as we all know, was 120 million, while base Goku was 3 million. Logically 3rd form Freeza could've been no higher than 2 million (x60 difference from his final form) and might have been lower.

Since there's really no indication of how strong Frost is other than "stronger than base Goku but way weaker than SS Goku", and his fight with Piccolo suggests he's not too far off from saiyan base forms, I'd probably put him as a 10 or something if base Goku is a 1.
Oh yeah you're right, I have no idea what I was thinking there. Well forgot what I said about that then. That just makes Assault Form Frost much weaker than I thought.

In the manga Frost did put up a better fight against both Goku and Vegeta than in the anime, he did awful in the anime.
Speaking of which, doesn't Cabba regard Frost as stronger than him too? In any case he at least thought Frost was strong enough to be Emperor of the Universe while regarding himself as a relative weakling... and he didn't know Frost could transform.

I think you're lowballing a bit here, though I do agree with your last point that the gap between his forms probably isn't that large.

I'd think Piccolo's ability to even survive should take priority rather than extrapolating from that vague statement.
Well Frost did also say he was storing up a considerable amount of Ki and it did break Vados' barrier so it'd make sense. Piccolo was that inferior he didn't bother to even throw a punch, he just stayed away and used tricks.
Speaking of which, doesn't Cabba regard Frost as stronger than him too?
I can't remember but in the manga Vados said Frost was the strongest warrior so he was definitely stronger than Base Cabba there. Vegeta didn't have to transform to fight Base Cabba unlike Frost.

There was also what Vegeta said to Cabba about how he could even think to enter the Tournament with a power like that which could even imply he's weaker than Piccolo who he didn't really have a problem with entering.

That's the thing, I don't think tricks would work on someone that much stronger, Goku was only ~2x stronger than Burter, yet I really doubt Burter using speed clones would fool Goku.

I agree with most of this, except for a few things. I would put Base Cabba and Base F. Trunks right next to each other with a slash. I'm curious on your reasoning why he is slightly below. I don't think Magetta was stronger than Final Form Frost.
This idea is really great, and I am sticking to this!! However, this doesn't seem to be able to pass three tests.

1) Super Saiyan Goku vs. Beerus in Outer Space (Battle of Gods)
2) Base Goku vs. Final Form Frieza (Resurrection 'F')
3) SS3 Gotenks vs. Base Copy-Vegeta (U6 Saga)

I swear in the anime she said something like "Frost is our best hand to hand fighter". In any case, Cabba clearly didn't know Frost could transform, yet considered him the undisputed Emperor of the Universe anyway. Should this then mean 1st form Frost > Cabba?

There is just one conclusion people pulled of in rof with which I can not agree based on hints and what happened.

I am talking about first form frieza being above ss gohan back then. Just let look at facts which supports first form frieza > ss gohan:

- gohan getting serious and wanting to hold off frieza in first form believing he can
- everyone being scared feeling ki comming from approaching them frieeza.

Facts and hints supporting rof ss gohan > first form frieza:

- Even after feeling frieza ki krillin assure himself and everyone it is ok as long as they have buu with them. Good buu > supressed firs6 form frieza.

- Everyone is letting down when gohan mentions no keeping up with training and even then gohan believe he can hold off frieza.

- Ss gohan having trouble to stay in ss while golden ftieza had same issue would be one of main points of rof. "No matter how strong you are if you can not maintain it for long enough you are screwed. "

- ss gotenks felt confident about taking on supressed most likely first form frieza. Gotenks picked up his interest too.

- frieza got enraged and worried a bit when ss gohan beats ginyuu tagoma

- frieza using sneaking laser beam to attack rusty gohan was struggling to stay ss so he could know wasting his energy attacking frieza wouldnt do any good as frieza has 3 forms more !

- enraged ss gohan call for help supressed any power up from first form frieza and goku didnt comment anything until frieza reached final form

- goku calling buu crazy strong while enraged even although before u6.

- goku being not happt abouy buu not taking part in tournament. Possible hints good buu ~ first form frost.

So please tell me guys why are you stubborn to say first form frieza was stronger not even mentioning some believe him to vastly supperior...

Very good points, but I believe what Goku needed to reach Earth was a spike in power, or maybe, just maybe, when Gohan powered up to call Goku, he reached a level close to SSJ2, so definitely stronger than 1st form Freezer.
By the way I have 1st form Freezer at 1.3 bilion. The movie said he would reach 1.3 milion but that's obviously wrong in every possible way.

As for SSJ Gohan, he would be 1 bil with Piccolo at 950 mil.

]Other than inconsistent power levels, by the way.
Only way I can explain it is that Black powers up incredibly after fighting Goku, and when he goes Rosè it is only a 2x boost.

For anyone interested, here's my list for DBS with no two-base theory. If you want a list of PLs with the two base theory, you can find it on my signature.

Snip
Not a bad list, puts everyone on a scale without any convoluted tricks.

Bulma's Foot Masseur wrote: I always suspected that power gains for the side cast were largely based on motivation, becoming galvanized by whoever is the strongest in the group at the time and how strong they are. That's basically how it's always worked anyway, and the Super Saiyan God spectacle everyone witnessed would only accelerate it further. Unprecedentedly so.

Huh, makes sense.
