Goku is at 24,000 when he uses Kaio-Ken x3, it's just that Bulma's scouter breaks as his battle power passes 21,000 (it's clear from the scene that his battle power is still rising). Kaio-Ken multiplies Goku's battle power according to the number of grade it is. Regular Kaio-ken (which is apparently one and the same as Kaio-ken x2) is stated by the narrator to double Goku's battle power, and Tenshinhan says during the battle with Freeza that Kaio-ken x10 makes Goku ten times stronger. So if Goku is at 8,000 normally when he confronts Vegeta, while using Kaio-ken x2 he is at 16,000, and at Kaio-ken x3 he is at 24,000.
Yes, you're right here. The Scoutter breaks at 21.000, but goku's power was still rising.
But, I will say it again, kaioh ken x 3 was too much for goku.
And i will say you more, goku was not at his 100% when he used kaioh ken x3, so his power wasn't 24.000, it was more than 21.000 but it is impossible that he could be at 24.000 because he was around 8.000 (and under 9.000 for sure) and he recived some damage from vegeta.
In fact, when vegeta uses his full strength with goku, he has a power of 18.000, and in that part goku uses kaioh ken x2, that gives him a power of 16.000, and he is still no match for a vegeta that is playing with him.
Herms wrote:What was said that the Saibaiman, with a battle power of 1,200, had enough power to rival Raditz, not that the two were even. Toriyama even wrote in his memo to the anime staff on the Saibaimen that the Saibaiman had battle power inferior to Radtiz's. Granted, going by your 10% rule 1,500 is too high for 1,200 to rival it, but then your 10% isn't stated anywhere in the manga. And as shown when comparing Kaio-ken x3 Goku (at 24,000) vs. Vegeta (at 18,000) to Vegeta (at 24,000) vs. Dodoria (at more than 18,000), there's no real consistency throughout the story to how much differences in battle power will matter. They're just numbers tossed out by Toriyama with not too much thought given to them.
No, 1500 is too much. Piccolo, with an attack of 1330 units would have been able to kill raditz if he didn't evaded the attack, and gohan, with a simple hit with 1307 units, left raditz so injured that his power dropped at the same level than the goku's one, and goku was already injured (so gohan nearly kills raditz with one single hit, and he had that 10% more of energy).
The problem in what you say is that you don't consider the injuries of the fighters, you think that when goku uses kaioh ken x 4 he has a power of 32.000, because you don't take in account that when he used its kaioh ken x 4 he was already injured and he had lost most of his energy.
And I would say even more, there is no match on the manga with a constatated difference of energy superior to that 10% between the two fighters in wich the weaker one could be a difficult oponent for the stronger one.
Herms wrote:True, but it's still infinitly more authoritative than numbers made up by fans. I mean, you've got 100% full power Freeza at 12,000,000. That just ultimately comes from Greg Werner's mistranslation of Daizenshuu 7's battle power chart, where he mistakenly translated 100% full power Freeza as being 12 million rather than 120 million. There's nothing in the manga at all saying Freeza was 12 million.
You're right, the daizenshuu is, at this time, more reliable than me, but this is because I still have to explain you from where I deduced this numbers.
I can justify this 12.000.000 of full power freeza with the manga in my hands, believe me, and I'm not based on that minstraslation because this mistranslation also said that goku SSJ was 15.000.000, and I disagree with that.
In fact, I can not assure that an hypothetical freeza with no injuries at his 100% would be exactly 12.000.000, but I can assure you that the numbers that are on my list don't contradict the manga in any point.
In fact, I made this list because the other ones I had read contradict the manga again and again, and this list doesn't, as you will see tonight or tomorrow when I explain myself.
For now, I prefer to discuss that points to make sure everybody that reads my explanation could understand it without any problems.
Regards.
