Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread


Yeah I'm probably going to move #18 down a smidge. 600 vs 520 would be a 15% difference.

I still don't see the evidence for Piccolo. All that conversation does is acknowledge that he trained, but is still 100% out of the game. I don't think he can't be over Goku's 50%, but I don't think he has to ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread


Regarding #18 vs Vegeta, I just meant there's not a big 30~50% gap. Though I do think I could maybe go down a little.

I'm definitely planning on bumping Vegeta and co. up a bit, but I don't think Piccolo necessarily has to be above Goku's 50%. The main takeaway from that conversation is that he's ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

I agree with your assessment about #18 vs Vegeta but the gap seems way too large for what you're saying. Could you share how you see gaps working?

Trunks should have been way superior to Goku when first introduced. Trunks special manga chapters have all the following information:

Re: How Plausible is it That Raditz Knew how to Make an Artificial Moon?

Highly unlikely.

He didn't even covered his tail weakness, which in my mind is the lowest level of Saiyan competencies.
The artificial moon would be the highest level, after gaining reason while an Oozaru; which I'm not certain if it's mentioned Raditz ever having it.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread




Kami finger flicks Goku off of his fight with Piccolo Daimao. The split was never even. We tend to think the reunion is 2x because it's convenient, but it's not something flat out spelled in the manga.

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding Piccolo, I've never taken the Grand Elder's line about him and God halving their power by splitting up super literally. Especially with how it's phrased ["genius power with which he was gifted at birth"], it sounds to me like he was talking more about their ...

I started a new list with a new format, kinda based that one chart from Weekly Shonen Jump (and that old fake V-Jump image ). It's only the Saiyan arc, so far (not the most riveting thing in the world), but I just wanted to get it out there.

That's disappointing. Nothing against Xenoverse, the prospect of a brand new game is more interesting to me.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread


I wonder how they’re going to deal with Freeza, and also whether they’ll go past EoZ. Probably not, since Toriyama never wanted to do that, and some people might see it as disrespectful to his work.

GT exists, I doubt Toriyama ever cared about going past EoZ.

Re: The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

What's the point of this? There's already a movie and a series.

Mentioning Toriyama rubs me the wrong way. You already adapted this several times, if you wanted to be more faithful you had plenty of chances.
Sounds dishonest to the fans and disrespectful to Toriyama.

Re: Was Grade 3 Trunks stronger than Cell?

What Cell means its that Trunks was stronger than his warm up level which was enough to obliterate Vegeta.

The latter information confirms this.
After all Cell was stronger than Goku who at 50% shocks everyone, Trunks included.
It would be illogical for them to imagine Goku with the grades on top ...

You do realize I was talking about Super, right?

Goku in DBZ is dead half of the time, the other half he's just leeching off of Chi Chi, who comes from a rich family as her father is a king.

Goku in Super actually got a job and started financially supporting his family.

It's worth noting that Goku has an actual job (him, Gohan, Krillin, maybe Yamcha? are the only ones in the main cast with an actual job), and his job consists of farming and selling his produce on the market of neighboring cities... so he must be pretty smart, smarter than he seems, yes?

It's a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the manga. Not hard to understand why the character selection is such.
This is all a marketing stunt, it's not a scientific study about the "best" Dragon Ball character.
