Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

Apparently Ox King has a power level of 900?!

Post by FoolsGil » Thu Nov 05, 2020 10:54 am

I was watching one of Masokox's newest videos: https://youtu.be/KCjteMBpBVY and at 14:09 he states Ox King was that strong? I didn't read the Guide Books so I never knew this, if it's accurate. That's basically saying Ox King had a better chance against Raditz then Goku and Piccolo and it took God's special training for any of the Dragon Team to move past his level.

...Is this right? Was the World's Strongest under our noses the entire time?

The guide books have some screwy levels like Popo but that ones blatant nonsense.
Not sure if it's in there or Masako is talking BS but either way yeah he's not.

The number in question comes from a spread in the pamphlet for the Summer 1990 Toei Anime Fair (where DBZ movie 3 premiered alongside adaptations of other Toriyama works). As we explain in our battle power guide where this is cited:
While some of these battle powers were those either already stated in the series proper, or published in Weekly Shōnen Jump, the pamphlet states that the majority were new original “Battle Points” taken from Bandai’s “Dragon Ball Carddass” series. The majority of the Dragon Ball Z battle powers are taken from the “VS Vegeta Compilation” and the beginning of the “VS Freeza Compilation”, specifically sets 3, 4, and 5 which were released in November 1989, April 1990, and July 1990, respectively.

This unfortunately creates conflicts for certain characters, and in general calls into question the use of these “Battle Points” as anything that should be directly associated with actual battle powers from the series. As both the “Dragon Ball Carddass” series and manga serialization progressed there became a drastic difference between the “Battle Points” and “Battle Powers” used within the two mediums. For example, the “Battle Point” with available multipliers used in the Carddass series for Super Saiyan Son Goku is 2.7 million (Card No. 338), whereas in every other publication it is stated to be 150 million. In addition, both Freeza and Coola are listed with peak “Battle Points” of 2.7 million (with available multipliers), even though full power Freeza is listed in Daizenshuu 7 at 120 million, and Coola is inherently stronger than Freeza. Therefore, you may decide that any battle powers listed below should be used with caution, especially those that conflict with previously established battle powers.

I'm more concerned with the video saying he thinks the original Dragonball will be rebooted. Unless it's a "Kai" version of the original Dragonball, which admittedly would have little interest in the fandom I imagine, thinking the original Dragonball could be re-animated over new Super episodes is kinda odd.

Honestly, DB NEEDS a reboot.
