Popo told him during the time-skip.
Sending Goku to kill Piccolo would essentially be suicide, no different than sending Popo.
Neither he nor Popo can go and deal with the problems personally, because they are gods.
Piccolo isn't a mortal world problem. He's a demon created by Kami himself.
According to Toriyama through the manga, Piccolo is a mortal problem, even if Kami created him. I guess according to the godly laws of the Dragon World, even if a problem is created by a god, they are still not allowed to interfere.
No, it doesn't. It is a section in the book talking specifically about battle powers. It says that someone with a battle power of 100 has a certain amount of destructive power. Unlike with a few other characters, it doesn't mention ANYTHING about him other than his battle power of 100. Not his size, not his strength, not his biology, just his battle power. In a sentence right after one talking about his battle power, and how this form has a much higher battle power than his base form, it says "his has the destructive power of a battleship's main gun".

It is blindingly obvious that it is referring to BATTLE POWER. Again: if it was talking about anything other than battle power, it would have been mentioned, just like the blurb RIGHT BEFORE this one mentioned that Goku's physical attributes helped him survive bullets.
The book says that the giant monkey with BP of 100 has the destructive power of a battleship's main gun, not that everyone with BP of 100 have the destructive power of a battleship's main gun. It talks specifically about that.
My question to you is "why would they be even remotely similar?". Namekians are not humans. They are from another planet. They are from another galaxy. They have extremely long natural life spans. They survive entirely on water. They are naturally far more powerful.
I don't believe that they would be different in that. If Daimao was a warrior-type, I would agree. But he is a Dragon Clansman, he isn't made to fight.
...for the same reason every single ki attack thrown by anyone past Vegeta doesn't destroy the planet they're on.
Which proves that punches & normal ki blasts can't destroy a planet, even if the BP is high enough. For a planet to be destroyed, it seems that the attacks must reach the core of the planet, which by destroying its core, the planet would either be destroyed after a short amount of time, or instantly. The forms of ki blasts that seem to work effectively are big-ball types (like Freeza's or Majin Boo's techniques) or powerful means (like Kamehameha or Gyarik-Ho).
Nothing suggests that, except gag scenes. If this were the case, then simply being caught off guard from any attack would be instant death.
If Toriyama believed that Kuririn & Kame-sennin were tough enough to repel bullets while not fighting, don't you think that he would have shown it through the gag scenes like he does with Goku?
You can't know that.
Like I said, I don't believe he will survive. It's my opinion, and you are free to disagree, because like you said, we can't know what would have happened, but we can only make our own assumptions.
many times stronger doesn't actually mean many times stronger
We have one example that we know that it doesn't mean literally "many times stronger". Maybe he is talking literally, maybe he doesn't. I don't think that Toriyama had BP numbers in his mind when he wrote that statement, and the expression can be used in a metaphorical way.
a grenade nearly killing Tao doesn't mean anything since he suppressed himself mid battle for some reason
Not saying that he was suppressed, just not ready to take the explosion, since he was caught off-guard.
just to fit your pre-established notions and your numbers
It has nothing to do with the numbers BTW. If I agreed with you, I wouldn't find a problem to change them.
as well as your preference that Roshi not be much weaker at the 21st than he was at the 22nd because... realism?
Well, it doesn't sound realistic to me for his power to fall as much as you claim.

Anyway, I will still think about it a little. I will think about it, and maybe I'll change the numbers (depending to what conclusions I'll reach), but after I'm done with the rest of the manga. For now, I'm done with the first part. I'm gonna work on the Freeza arc later.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Incorrect. As stated in the guidebooks (specifically, the Daizenshuu entry on kiri), you only need a certain amount of power to destroy a planet. Shape does not matter. Remember when Pure Buu was going to blow the Earth to smithereens with a tiny ki blast no different than the dozens of blasts everyone throws around routinely? Daizenshuu 4 (specifically, in the technique list) also stated that fighters compress their ki into a small area to do more damage. Theoretically, if you have enough power, you could indeed destroy the Earth by punching it, or throwing a small ki blast. No one needs to take out of the core of the planet to destroy it, Freeza only chose to do it that way to give him time to expect. When Pure Buu blows up Earth, he doesn't just penetrate the core, he blows the planet up completely, with the resulting explosion being calc'd at red dwarf busting level.
Popo told him during the time-skip.
When?
Neither he nor Popo can go and deal with the problems personally, because they are gods.
Didn't stop him from doing it at the tournament. I don't see the difference between sending Goku to kill Daimao, and just suppressing his power down to nothing and ordering Goku to kill him.

There's a lot of ways he could have ended the threat posed by Piccolo. Piccolo doesn't need to be as strong as Daimao right off the bat for the story to work.
According to Toriyama through the manga, Piccolo is a mortal problem, even if Kami created him. I guess according to the godly laws of the Dragon World, even if a problem is created by a god, they are still not allowed to interfere.
That doesn't make any sense.
The book says that the giant monkey with BP of 100 has the destructive power of a battleship's main gun, not that everyone with BP of 100 have the destructive power of a battleship's main gun. It talks specifically about that.
No, it doesn't. Show me where it even implied that being a giant monkey had anything to do with it, like the blurb right above when they mentioned that being a saiyan gave Goku his durability.
I don't believe that they would be different in that. If Daimao was a warrior-type, I would agree. But he is a Dragon Clansman, he isn't made to fight.
He's also a demon, with unique demon attributes. In addition to that, he's hundreds of years old. He's a Namekian. Tell me why a Namekian and a human should be even remotely similar in how they lose ki?
If Toriyama believed that Kuririn & Kame-sennin were tough enough to repel bullets while not fighting, don't you think that he would have shown it through the gag scenes like he does with Goku?
No, because that's what a gag is. He already showed us Krillin surviving much worse things than bullets when taken off guard.
We have one example that we know that it doesn't mean literally "many times stronger". Maybe he is talking literally, maybe he doesn't. I don't think that Toriyama had BP numbers in his mind when he wrote that statement, and the expression can be used in a metaphorical way.
We have one example against several others that we do. Again, several times stronger means several times stronger (except when spoken by a demonic psychopath lacking in the relevant knowledge).
Not saying that he was suppressed, just not ready to take the explosion, since he was caught off-guard.
He was not caught off guard. He was looking right at Goku and had just been fighting. You can't get caught off guard that way.

pistol bullets < Goku < shotgun blast < Bora < Tao =< concussion grenade < Goku [post] <<<<<<<< 406mm naval artillery
It has nothing to do with the numbers BTW. If I agreed with you, I wouldn't find a problem to change them.
If you weren't making your own power level list, would you seriously think twice about such simple and straight-forward things like the Daizenshuu entry, or Tao getting injured by a grenade knocked at him? Or Goku having to kick away/deflect/dodge missiles?
Well, it doesn't sound realistic to me for his power to fall as much as you claim.
Realism doesn't have anything to do with it. He's a 300 year old martial arts master who can shoot energy beams from his hands. The series outright shows (with the weapon feats) and states (through Karin) that he's many times weaker than he is at the 22nd.
Anyway, I will still think about it a little. I will think about it, and maybe I'll change the numbers (depending to what conclusions I'll reach), but after I'm done with the rest of the manga. For now, I'm done with the first part. I'm gonna work on the Freeza arc later.
Fair enough.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Of course battle power is important, what I mean is that it's not the only important factor. You need both power & the skill to create a suitable ki blast for this to destroy a planet.

As for Pure Boo's ki blast, everything happened so fast that we can't tell exactly what happened. But I presume that his ki blast reached the core of the planet.
When?
Chapter 180:
That doesn't make any sense.
Doesn't matter. These are the godly laws, apparently.
No, it doesn't. Show me where it even implied that being a giant monkey had anything to do with it, like the blurb right above when they mentioned that being a saiyan gave Goku his durability.
Right there:
He's also a demon, with unique demon attributes. In addition to that, he's hundreds of years old. He's a Namekian. Tell me why a Namekian and a human should be even remotely similar in how they lose ki?
We don't know, and we can't know if they are different or similar. Personally, I would say that they are similar, because Kame-sennin is an Earthling, and Piccolo Daimao is a non-fighting type Namekian. You disagree. We can't prove each other wrong, because neither of us have any evidence about that.
No, because that's what a gag is. He already showed us Krillin surviving much worse things than bullets when taken off guard.
Then why is Goku the only one that isn't bleeding in the gag scenes?
Also, taken off guard during a fight is very different from taken off guard when not fighting or even sleeping.
We have one example against several others that we do. Again, several times stronger means several times stronger (except when spoken by a demonic psychopath lacking in the relevant knowledge).
How does he lack knowledge? He has all of Daimao's memories. He should know Daimao's power, even if he wasn't born with it.
He was not caught off guard. He was looking right at Goku and had just been fighting. You can't get caught off guard that way.
He expected the bomb to explode on Goku's face, and he suddenly saw the bomb exploding in his face. It was off guard.

You should also take into account that the weapons aren't pure force like punches are. A bomb & explode & release a lot of heat, and bullets have piercing power, and a battleship's main gun has both of them on a greater level. Oozaru Goku's mass plays a big role in withstanding the power of a battleship's main gun. If Oozaru Goku had the same BP as Taopaipai, do you think that the grenade would cause any serious damage to the monkey? Do you think that the monkey would hurt as much as Goku did from taking pistol bullets, sniper bullets, or bazooka shots?
If you weren't making your own power level list, would you seriously think twice about such simple and straight-forward things like the Daizenshuu entry, or Tao getting injured by a grenade knocked at him? Or Goku having to kick away/deflect/dodge missiles?
I already did. I hadn't put much thought to it, but I already had the general idea that Oozaru >>> Saiyan > Earthlings in terms of durability.

Yeah, Piccolo ends up a good deal below the level he's usually hyped up to be.
I don't even have a power level for him pre merging with Nail for example.

I think you put the humans waaaaaaaaaaaay too low. They were able to survive hits from Cell Jrs. They trained for the androids and thought they were going to use be useful, even knowing they killed everyone in Trunks' timeline.

Honestly I have no clue on the Earthlings. It's preposterous for them to reach the millions, but I guess that's why you shouldn't think of it in terms of numbers.

Dr. Gero the guy, that figured Saiyan arc Goku had peaked wasn't suprised about Yamcha's power, but then calls it useful and also said he could beat Vegeta with the powers of Piccolo and co., who unbeknownst to him were suppressing their powers. Added to the fact that they were capable of flying at the same pace as Goku it all really suggests, that I'm far from giving them enough credit :lol:
Of course Tenshinhan also managed to fly as fast as merged Piccolo, who really shouldn't have been flying at anything less than full speed, because they were trying to catch Cell, so I don't know how to interpret all this.

So in short I really might be underselling the Earthlings, but they are so outclassed they might as well be that low :P
It's basically the same situation with Goten, Trunks and Pan in GT.

Also, why do you have Bardock at 3,000 in Episode of Bardock?

It follows the same line as the TV special, does it not?

Yeah, Episode of Bardock was originally a sequel to the tv special, but since Toriyama changed Bardock's story with DB minus, I just think of EoB as a contiuation of that instead of the tv special.

EoB. DB Minus is made by Toriyama, so we pretty much have no choice. Seeing as how EoB was made before Minus, I would have used the same Bardock as the TV Special. But nevermind.

Movie 14: Battle of Gods
Spoiler:Hide
Super Saiyan Gotenks: 125,000,000,000.
Wronly colored Son Gohan: 50,000,000,000.

Super Saiyan Vegeta: 30,000,000,000.
-Angry: 300,000,000,000.

Vegetto(hypothetical): 60,000,000,000.
-Super Saiyan 3: 240,000,000,000,000.


Son Goku: 60,000,000.
-Super Saiyan: 30,000,000,000.
-Super Saiyan 2: 60,000,000,000.
-Super Saiyan 3: 240,000,000,000.
-Super Saiyan God: 6,000,000,000,000,000.


Beerus: 10,000,000,000,000,000.

Whis: 15,000,000,000,000,000.

Movie 15:
Spoiler:Hide
The new villain stronger than anything before him, Gohan and Gotenks still marginalised and Krillin still stronger than Tenshinhan.
Something like that, I'm sure.
Oh, so you have Ultimate Gohan being a wrongly coloured Super Saiyan, I suppose. I assume you have him as he has lost the Mystic power-up after Buu saga. But you still have him stronger than Super Saiyan Goku. Or he has retained some of Mystic powers?

So You have Vegetto as 60,000,000,000. But if SSJ3 Goku is 240,000,000,000, then Base Vegetto should be at least 600,000,000,000 (SSJ3 Goku+SSJ2 Vegeta x 2 = Base Vegetto). So SSJ3 Vegetto is 2,400,000,000,000,000 - so a 10 times stronger. But even that way he is till no match for SSJ-God Goku and Beerus, not to mention Whis.

I do not think Toriyama has Bardock as a Super Saiyan in the past (in other words E.O.B. is not canon in his view), just because he still sees Bardock a low-class Saiyan warrior, as he said it in an interview.

So Goku has lost his Godly powers after B.O.G, as he is weaker than he was as a SSJ-G.

For the new movie levels I can agree with your predictions.

Yeah, he retained some of that power.

That could be possible. Admittedly I like the fusion base form to be stronger than any Super Saiyan form of the two involved. I used to have it like this:
Goku < SS3 Goku < Gogeta < SS3 Gogeta < Vegetto < SS Vegetto.
I do not thinks Toriyama has Bardock as a Super Saiyan in the past (in toher words E.O.B. is not canon in his view), just because he still sees Bardock a low-class Saiyan warrior, as he said it in an interview.
Yeah, neither do I. I just used the revised version of Bardock to have SS Goku on Namek be 1000 times stronger than SS Bardock, like Randomguy did.
So Goku has lost his Godly powers after B.O.G, as he is weaker than he was as a SSJ-G.

I made the GT list without really thinking too much about Battle of Gods. I don't think they're supposed to fit together.

So You have Vegetto as 60,000,000,000. But if SSJ3 Goku is 240,000,000,000, then Base Vegetto should be at least 600,000,000,000 (SSJ3 Goku+SSJ2 Vegeta x 2 = Base Vegetto). So SSJ3 Vegetto is 2,400,000,000,000,000 - so a 10 times stronger. But even that way he is still no match for SSJ-God Goku and Beerus, not to mention Whis.

That could be possible. Admittedly I like the fusion base form to be stronger than any Super Saiyan form of the two involved. I used to have it like this:
Goku < SS3 Goku < Gogeta < SS3 Gogeta < Vegetto < SS Vegetto.
Yeah... But I do not think SSJ3 Gogeta is still below Base Vegetto. I'd say something like this: Goku < SSJ3 Goku </= Gogeta* < Vegetto < SSJ Gogeta < SSJ2 Gogeta </= SSJ Vegetto < SSJ2 Vegetto </= SSJ3 Gogeta < SSJ3 Vegetto

So I think that there is only a level of SSJ difference between Gogeta and Vegetto, in favor of Vegetto.

*I think Gogeta is more or less is equal with SSJ3 Goku, as Goku had go back to SSJ2 to have a chance to fuse with Vegeta, so (SSJ2 Goku + SSJ2 Vegeta) x2 = Base Gogeta, if I use SSJ3 being 4x SSJ2.

I also changed my mind concerning Gogeta vs. Vegetto. Now I just have Vegetto 10x stronger at the most, which is still a massive difference, but not as crazy as before.

That 10x is also high for me. Depending on how is the real multiplier of a SSJ a transformation I'd say the difference is something like 2-5x. When someone's strengh duobles, that means a pretty good development in Dragon Ball. And let not forget Super Gogeta was really strong on his own against Janemba, when Goku was no match for him. I have Super Janemba at Piccolo-Buu level if not Gotenks-Buu.

In the versus thread, Kaboom made the following post about the whole base Saiyans vs Freeza issue in relation to BOG. I agree with him; in a nutshell, it is illogical to assume someone is suppressed when it's never stated or shown, and use that as an excuse to ignore scenes.
The thing about the whole "the character is heavily suppressed and the people sensing him have no idea" trend in Dragon Ball is that it's always eventually revealed to be the case. As long as it factors into the fights and story, we're never left wondering if a character was suppressed or not.

The suppressed character will suddenly start kicking butt, or just purposely power up to demonstrate. The character will declare that they haven't revealed their full power yet, and then usually proceed to do so. Another side character who knows the truth will comment. Or whatever. Something always happens to correct the mistaken judgement about the suppressed person's power.

But there was no such contradiction in Battle of Gods. You've got Beerus saying, "you couldn't beat Freeza [in base], but you gain more power by going Super Saiyan," and then Goku/Kaio saying, "yep, that's correct."

If that weren't really the case, wouldn't someone have said so? Wouldn't Goku have at least thought to himself, "I've actually gotten way stronger since then?" Wouldn't Goku maybe have bragged and said, "I'm already way stronger than Freeza without Super Saiyan now, so wait 'til you see how strong I am WITH it," when he was showing off for Beerus before they fought? After Goku was beaten, couldn't Kaio have easily remarked about how Goku was far stronger than Beerus thought he was, but was still no match for him? Shoot, all the way back when Whis was first showing Goku's fight with Freeza to Beerus, couldn't he have said, "they've all mastered a technique to increase their power called Super Saiyan, though they've now become so strong they could beat Freeza even without it?"
With this in mind, how does everyone feel about Super Buu's fight with Gotenks? Specifically, the second section of the fight, where Gotenks was a Super Saiyan? Buu is a lot stronger, given his domination of that battle, no doubt about that. But how MUCH stronger? Keep in mind that Buu is never stated or implied to be suppressed, even when it would make sense for someone to say something (like Piccolo).

Going by the fight, he really, really doesn't look several times stronger than SS Gotenks, as the Super Saiyan multipliers would imply. Gotenks nearly kills him with his Kamikaze Ghosts, lands an actual hit himself in the form of a headbutt that gives Buu a bruise (earning him praise from Piccolo), dodges a couple of Buu's hits, and survives a beating from him. Yes, Buu could have been pulling his punches, but it's still notable, and I highly doubt he was still holding back at the very end, when Gotenks made him mad and he punched the kid in the face in a rage. Gotenks took quite a bit of damage, but he still survived. Also fairly notable: Buu was bored by base Gotenks and took his punches without budging. He was having fun with SS Gotenks, and couldn't tank physical attacks from him. Buu had no problem tanking base Gotenks, so the interpretation that he held back to a specific percentage here and only here for whatever reason doesn't seem to make much sense.

Some would bring up his generally relaxed demeanor as a sign of him being suppressed, but I think him holding back EFFORT is what's being shown here, not power. Examples of him holding back effort include letting Gotenks charge his attacks, allowing most of his attacks to connect, and simply slapping him around instead of just grabbing him by the throat and repeatedly smashing his face in. He could be winning easily as opposed to dragging the battle out, but he chooses to toy with Gotenks. Hisntoying is because of his behavior, not his battle power. An example of a fighter holding back power, as opposed to effort, would be when Cell was fighting Goku.

Think of it like this: would you think Buu was ~8 times stronger than Gotenks if there was no SS3 transformation, and the fight got interrupted by Gohan before it ever came to that?

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.
