Post Rosat Goku at 50% was stated to be stronger than Super Vegeta, and Trunks suggests Vegeta didn't need SSJ Grade 2 to fight Cell. He's definitely above 16, let alone 17 lol. I think you might have Boo Saga Piccolo too high, he's a complete non factor and was weaker than Kaioshin and Dabra. I think going from 500mil to 600mil would be more realistic.

Oh and Yamcha was much, much, MUCH weaker than Goku and Kuririn on the 21st Budokai. Roshi defeated Yamcha by waving his hand while the boys gave him an actual fight. Wilderness training just doesn't compare to Kame training, even putting Yamcha at 30 would be generous.

Here's mine. I take the levels from Raditz's scouter as resting levels, so the levels in part 1 make sense.

Goku
Vegeta
Gohan
Piccolo
Kuririn
Tenshinhan:
Yamcha
The villains are kinda obvious so I'm just giving you Cell and Boo. The increases you give for Cell are definitely waaaay too low. I know gaps don't matter, but you have Cell stay pretty much the same after absorbing all those people! You also have Semi Cell, Super Vegeta and Perfect Cell almost the same which is really weird. I also think Fat Boo should be a bit lower, the difference between him and Super Boo is kinda big at least.

Cell

Outside of some nitpicks like BoZ Goku/Piccolo being too high or the humans being to weak after Namek, I really like your numbers.

Alright, I've been working for the past week on my battle powers list. I'm trying to put together a list including all of Super and GT. A Z list would be easy(-ish) enough, but I'm trying to make a comprehensive scale for myself. Obviously, this means a lot of things will be up to interpretation and some liberties will be taken, but generally I'd like to establish a few things:
  • Obviously, I'm open to feedback, though I will try to lay out my reasoning for the controversial debates (Dabra vs Cell, Shin's battle power, etc), as well as all the "headcanon" liberties I take (and why they may, or may not, matter);
  • The list tries to minimize bloat as best as possible. It caps out in the quadrillions, which, honestly, is already far too high for my taste, but that's only because fusions (and DBS: Broly, specifically) made things hard. There are instances where numbers necessarily will blow up beyond my taste, but when possible, I will try to keep gaps low. I'm using 15-25% gaps as seen through the Namek arc as more than enough to overpower a single opponent, and unless the characters make visible or explicitly stated power-ups, they won't get much stronger via timeskips or casual training;
  • Super is complicated to scale, so I will follow the manga (mostly) because it's more straightforward and has less inconsistencies. There will be some compromises with the anime though, especially with characters in the ToP who have no feats for example, but mostly the manga takes precedence, so if there's contradiction between the two mediums, the manga will be regarded primarily;
  • Heroes/videogame scaling won't be taken seriously, but if they don't contradict anything in canon, and it makes thematic sense to me, I will use some of their scaling, for example: Blue and SS4 being comparable.

Daima:
And for fun, here's all the top characters in Dragon Ball ranked by my numbers, including the missing GoDs not listed in the ToP (though, again, their power is just headcanon for now), as well as the current cast in every form:
I spent a lot more time than I'd care to admit on this :lol: so I hope to get some good feedback, although I understand if you just disagree fundamentally with some of my scaling axioms.

Goku only getting 1.05 times stronger in 3 years seems very, very unlikely.

On the Z portion I have a couple things to say about the Cell Saga. First off, I think Future Gohan should definitely be stronger. Bulma says Trunks isn't much stronger than Gohan. And when Gohan died, he was stronger than less-than-half Future 17. I say he's between 100% Freeza and Namek SSJ Goku.

What's up with Android Saga SSJ Goku? Is that meant to be his sick power? I guess you're trying to pander to the Sick > Yardrat crowd, but I think you should just bite it and make Sick Goku 130 million or so. Piccolo says Goku was really far from full power. Oh and you forgot to list FP Cell. I guess he's somewhere in the 3-4 billion range?

On Super. I think you can justify Super Vegetto > SSJG by assuming Goku was thinking about fusion dance (Which he hasn't tried yet and would expect a boost similar to Gotenks). I like how you listed everyone from the ToP, I've only ever seen one or two lists do that. Personally I just list the important guys (i.e. U7, U6, the top 3 of U11, Ribrianne and some U3 robots)

I went to reread chapter 19 because SSJ2 Trunks > Base Black really irks me, but you got away this time... Vegeta only confirms Black > Trunks after Black goes SSJ. I can spot a big mistake on the Granolah section though: TUI Goku was clearly stronger than Gas, as per Goku's own words.
Personally, I think MUI Goku was unfocused from the beginning. With your numbers, I'd have something more or less like this:

Granolah arc scaling is a bit weird. You have to assume everyone is at least stronger than Broly - but maybe Broly doesn't count since he can't transform at will at this point? But I'm not sure what use is "make me the strongest in the universe" if the results are "you're the strongest *while Broly can't transform, and only if Goku can't use UI properly." I guess it goes hand in hand with the other monkey's paw wishes.

You can't also necessarily assume they just got so much stronger from the Moro arc because they're still using ToP Jiren as a measuring stick even now.

But I think I agree with your general analysis. I'll tweak my numbers a bit.

For the most part, I'm on board with it. Truth be told, after a while, there are too many serious for me to be able to keep track of them or to see how they fare with previous people.

Minor picks: how come Yakon is 800M, and Goku who faced him in base, is more than 10x weaker? are you assuming Goku was using KK? I'm still wary of having such fodder surpass Freeza by such a big margin, the Majin boost could help out things but I doubt these people got such huge boosts. To me Yakon is barely 10x weaker, 80M, maybe 100M... with the M on this forehead.

SS2 Gohan: Didn't Vegeta say that Goku was much stronger than Gohan 7 years ago? you have them quite close to each other.


--

So, what about the movie villains? what numbers do we give Cooler, Metal Cooler, Broly, Janemba, Bojack, Super Android 13, Hirudegan?

I think base Broly, since he was no-selling base Goku's attacks, should be above the 100M. His SS form was unfazed after Vegeta attacked him, reminded me of Krilin and Perfect Cell, maybe around 1 or 2 billions. And then, the final transformation.
Narratively, Broly was meant to be on the SS2, SPC, Bojack tier, that is high-end late Chala-Head-Chala age.

I can understand Broly not counting since he can’t transform at will, but UI Goku handling Gas like a ragdoll is very confusing. For me the monkey paw here is that Granolah and Gas were the strongest, but didn’t know how to tap or use their powers until the very end. Gas losing to Granolah fresh off his wish shows how important mastery over your power is. That seems to be a theme in the saga, with Goku and Vegeta also struggling to use their Ultra forms.

The way I see it, G&G don’t use their full powers until the end of the saga (Granny when he focuses it all into that blast and Gas in his zombie form). Before that all 4 players were in a run to see who adapts to their new powers first.

I have Jiren beneath 73 Moro, but I still like to keep him as relevant as possible since he’s GoD tier too. They only bring him up because of his Ki control and the movie even goes on to downplay his strength.

The idea is often treated as heretical for a few reasons (big one is Beerus's statement about Goku not being able to beat Freeza), but I feel like a lot of weirdness with scaling gets alleviated by assuming Super Saiyan is a 5x (or maybe 10x) boost from the Artificial Humans onward. It very neatly puts Goku at 600 kili against Yakon in base and allows the Earthlings to seem less silly for showing up against No. 19 and 20 if base Vegeta (who they seem to be weaker than) is sitting in the tens of millions rather than the low millions, just to name two things.

I'm not trying to say that that read is objectively correct all the time or anything, but I do think Toriyama wrote the series with much smaller "multipliers" in mind from time to time.

Toriyama himself said he wrote SS as x10 post Namek and I agree the series also sees it that way most of the time, I think in Broly SS-SSG-SSB are all portrayed as a x5 or x10 boost from the previous form. But unfortunately there's no in universe explanation for it.

I've been toying with the idea of dropping the 50x boost from the Freeza fight entirely. Ignoring official numbers, you could make the fight work with a 30x Super Saiyan boost, or even a 20x boost. The Kaioken kinda sucks. In the last arc, Vegeta survived a blast that was, on paper, nearly twice his power level and was still in fighting shape.

That's also assuming the Kamehameha didn't raise Goku's battle power as it did against Raditz, which would put that blast upwards of four times Vegeta's power lol.

I tend to think it doesn't. Not only do I think that Goku's 416 power was only his resting power and that his full power is a lot closer to the 924 number, using the Kaioken hampers Goku's ability to get the most out of his power, particularly at higher levels, so you wouldn't see as big a jump up in battle power from him using the Kamehameha.

I find the theory someone from Neoseeker created fits better than the decreasing SS theory.

Image

It not only keeps the official 50 times multiplier but it also makes Yakon only being 3.75 times weaker than SS Goku fit very well. We can also use this for Daima where Base Goku is shown to be stronger than Shin who in turn is also stronger than Piccolo.

It not only keeps the official 50 times multiplier but it also makes Yakon only being 3.75 times weaker than SS Goku fit very well. We can also use this for Daima where Base Goku is shown to be stronger than Shin who in turn is also stronger than Piccolo.
I'm not a fan of it, I'm afraid. It's easier for me to buy the idea that the gap between base and Super Saiyan simply shrinks over time as the user gets used to it or something.
