No I'm not trying to advertise my video, but all of my thoughts on this topic are contained in it. Let me know if you agree or disagree.

I don't buy 250k. It's too high. Goku goes through hellacious training for several days and Vegeta gets his ass kicked twice, yet somehow he's stronger? Don't buy it.

[SuperSaiyan2]

When you think about it though, Goku made more insane gains in those six days than Vegeta did on Namek.

8000 -> 90 000 = 11.25x gain

30 000 -> 250 000 = 8.333x gain

So really Goku gained more than Vegeta would have. Not to mention his Kaioken x10 puts him up to 900 000, which he said he could handle comfortably.

He really isn't stronger though, since 180,000 is just Goku's BP while using a regular Kaio-Ken, and he can go up to x10 at this point, which would presumably put him at 900,000. Goku even tells Ginyu that his 180,000 BP is peanuts compared to what he can really do.

[ABED]

Yes, Goku did make huge gains, but he was training under extremely harsh conditions. The extra gravity would accelerate his training. Vegeta just got cheap power ups necessary for the story. It make NO sense that Vegeta would go from being child's play for Reacoom to twice as strong as Ginyu after being beaten up by Reacoom. Please stop with the math, Power levels/battle powers are illogical.

If Goku went from 8,000 to 90,000 from hellish training to later 3,000,000 after his body got beat up once, then Vegeta could power up a lot as well in my opinion.

Yet another power up that I don't buy. Again, forget about power levels, they are ridiculous.

Exactly this. Gains are inconsistent, often plot driven. So there is no reason to believe that Vegeta cannot be 250k.

Whether you like it or not, they exist in Dragon Ball. There's no reason to just ignore them if you don't want to.

Fine, he's 250k but that's because of how ridiculous the power ups are. Even if Vegeta is 250k, then Freeza must be placating him in his first form because that looks like Freeza's struggling, which of course doesn't make sense given how strong Freeza is even in that form.

Or Vegeta further power up by taking that nap. Perhaps he was just exhausted prior to the nap? Vegeta could have easily gone up to 450 000, considering how he said he could beat Freeza with the help of Gohan and Krillin.

Even if he's 450,000, Freeza is 530,000. Nappa toyed with the Z fighters even though that gap was much smaller. Gohan and Kuririn would be of little help against Freeza unless of course Gohan's power jumped even more massively than Vegeta's because he was much weaker than Vegeta.

Vegeta got the crap kicked out of him on Earth and that was only worth a 6k power up? Like I said, the math doesn't make any sense.

[Super Saiyan Turlast x4]

That's because the power-up's aren't supposed to be consistent.

That's because the power-up's aren't supposed to be consistent.

Only because Toriyama was making up the rules as he went along.

Well, Goku was at 300,000 in my opinion, but not that this matters much though. Even from 90.000 to 300.000 and Vegeta's increase from 30.000-40.000 to 200.000+ are absolutely huge, but since the "Zenkay" was never described, it can't be said it was an incoherence.

Power level was Toriyama's way to hype characters, so he more or less did what he wanted with those numbers XD

Along with characters in every saga saying "His power is unlike anything I've ever felt!" Without fail you will hear someone say that at some point. It's one of my qualms with Dragon Ball in general. Can't characters just be formidable in their own right without having to be more "powerful" than the last? Mr. Freeze and Clayface may be stronger than the Joker, but the Joker still gives Batman a run for his money in his own way.

The only equivalent for the Dragon Ball shows that you could argue is perhaps Vegeta.

Well, there were some exceptions with characters that compensated their lack of power like guldo and his time-manipulating ability or Ginyu and his body-transfer capability. Otherwise, as you say, against Vegeta the outcome of the fight was decided despite the difference on power, and also the fight against Freezer (even if Freezer was defeated thanks to Goku becoming stronger, the fight was decided thanks to Freezer being badly injured and it also had the power exhausting factor) or Vegeta vs Zarbon round 2 (Zarbon was still stronger but was defeated thanks to Vegeta's trick of throwing him sand in the eyes) were affected by those factors.

That being said, in DB all revolved around power and if there was a big enough difference even some of the most impressive strategies were completely useless because of that.

Zenkai.

If he was 300,000 then why was calmly walking not KK'd Goku a shockingly powerful person to Piccolo and Vegeta, both of whom were easily above 1 million?

As I said in another thread, Goku was already KK'd at that point in my opinion. KKx10 aura was never drawn on the manga at any point of the fight, so it had to be activated before the fight started for it to be coherent through the whole fight.

Goku went from 8.000 to 90.000 after getting 5 near-death power-ups & training intensely from 20g up to 100g for a week, but one near death power-up made him jump to 3.000.000. It's obvious that the near-death power-ups are random.
