If you listen closely you can hear the transformation noise twice.

Yes. GT's powerscale is admittedly a bit wonky, but I don't really see it being as bad as you're suggesting.PFM18 wrote:Do you want me to list them all?Analytic wrote:Such as?PFM18 wrote:It would have a myriad of contradictions like GT does.
Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Gohan had the same hair when he transformed when watching Spopovich beat up Videl. I don't think you could reasonably argue he's a Super Saiyan 2 there when it's talked about later against Kibito as a big deal and not a form Gohan just casually popped into not too long before.
Also, there is never a case of a Super Saiyan 2 consistently lacking sparks. Saying "Super Saiyan 2s don't have to have sparks because Toriyama sometimes forgets them in off-hand panels" is basically the same as saying "a Super Saiyans's eyes don't necessarily have no pupils since there's some panels where they are drawn with pupils" (Trunks against 2nd form Cell, for example). Using small panels where not much detail was put in or with a minor inconsistency to try and discredit a defining trait of a form is just reaching, in my opinion.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Goku and Vegeta seemed to take Dabra pretty lightly. I don't see Cell's power being treated with as much disrespected (for lack of a better word) since he rivaled SS2 Kid Gohan who's power was still held in a high regard.
Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Astronomically so. She prompted Trunks to question if she was stronger than him and knocked General Rild on his ass. She also taunted/mocked how weak one of the Evil Dragons (can't recall which one at the moment) and I don't think he'd be weaker than Freeza.Noah wrote:Is GT Pan stronger than Namek Freeza?

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
It's probably been addressed here before, but how do you guys deal with that comment by Piccolo in the ROSAT about Gotenks having a chance in base state, without knowing at the time that he could transform after fusing? Is this statement incompatible with a 50x multiplier for SSJ without Gotenks getting ridiculously stronger from training for the equivalent of I believe a couple of weeks?
I guess we can handwave it to Goten and Trunks having higher growth rates than Gohan (maybe due to being conceived when their fathers had already attained SSJ) and so gaining a ton more from the ROSAT. Or maybe, like Goku/Gohan training together as SSJ and making massive gains due to the strain of the state, training while as Gotenks made them much stronger. It's also possible that fusion is a nonlinear gain (maybe something like [2x]^2), so they don't need to be dozens of times stronger than Goku/Vegeta/Gohan while they are all in base states.

I guess it's also possible that he had already decided that he was going to blow up the door at that point, so maybe he was acting out of character.Kaboom wrote:Easiest hand-wave answer is that he's just desperate for hope and overreacting. But a better answer I've taken a liking to is that he may have expected them to go Super Saiyan, become disheartened when they didn't and it appeared they couldn't, and then became optimistic again when they revealed they could.Analytical Delusion wrote:It's probably been addressed here before, but how do you guys deal with that comment by Piccolo in the ROSAT about Gotenks having a chance in base state, without knowing at the time that he could transform after fusing?
Maybe he also figured "Hey, they're so strong now, and they escaped from the original [Fat] Buu. He's much stronger now, maybe if somehow Gotenks can survive, or if we can trick [the current, Super] Buu into letting the fusion run out, Goten and Trunks can turn Super Saiyan and re-fuse, and we'll have a shot!". Typing that out actually, it doesn't seem like the worst idea.

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
Right, but you don't think Buu would be willing to wait? He was impatient at that point for the most part, but had he known that they'd be significantly stronger, maybe he'd be willing to wait longer.Blackstripe wrote:Except they have to wait an hour in between fusions.
(Just trying to justify it in-universe. Realistically it was probably a throw-away statement.)

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
I've calculated PLs from manga & anime into consideration, with the following points in mind:
This is a list prepared while focusing on manga & anime only. Some are theoretical numbers that are deduced by scenarios. Highest official power level is 1 million for frieza second form. (Assumption is that frieza has 120 mil FP.)
Raditz arc:
Vegeta arc:
Namek - Frieza arc:
Androids arc:
POST TRAINING:
From now, k = 1000x , M = million will be used due to high PLs
HTC = hyperbolic time chamber
Cell arc:
Since everone is in millions, M will be skipped. So, PLs are in 1 million units now on.
Buu arc:
BUU
DBS
BoG arc:
Golden frieza arc (super):
More edits will likely be made with DB super progressing.
Transformation guide:
Fusion guide:
DRAGON BALL
A try for pre Z power levels.
I'll go on a reverse approach, i.e. stronger to weaker.
Dragon ball:
Piccolo Jr saga:
King piccolo saga:
Tien saga:
Fortuneteller Baba Saga:
Encounter with RRA:
21 WMA tournament:
As a reference, I have goku BoDB at 15.
Movie / GT power level list
The tree of might:
Timeline : Takes place when goku has defeated both nappa & vegeta and killed them and all his friends are alive. They train & become strong.
Lord slug
Timeline: Goku has defeated all the evil saiyans in last movie, so he didn't go to namek. So, no frieza fight. However, all the Z fighters train, & about 1.5 years later, slug arrives.
Cooler's revenge
Timeline : Goku arrives on earth after learning IT by sensing his friends. So, he's not trained for full year on yadrat. No KC & mecha frieza arrived here. But goku was much stronger than he was in original timeline by training with friends.
Meta cooler is not taken into consideration due to being difficult to rate.
Super android 13:
Timeline : Hard to tell, but it is safe to say that this takes place before HTC training, but after goku's recovery. So, everyone is as strong as they were before HTC training. Kami fusion hasn't taken place
Broly, The LEGENDARY super saiyan:
Timeline: This is the only movie till now which can fit nearly perfectly in the original canon. It takes place before the training of goku & gohan is complete in HTC. So, Goku is FP SS, gohan & others are in ascended form.
Bojack :
Timeline : Takes place after 8-9 months of cell's defeat. Gohan is about as strong as he was in cell games, due to zenkai boost, & slacking off.
Second coming of broly
Timeline : This movie happens before buu saga, but in the time skip. However, it is not too close to buu saga, seeing goku isn't in SS3 form. But goten & trunks are much stronger here than in canon.
Bio broly is skipped due to being ridiculous.
Fusion reborn
Timeline : Goku defeats fat buu in his SS3 form in this timeline, then goes back being into afterlife, while vegeta is dead too. So, janemba fights him after death of fat buu.
Wrath of dragon
Timeline: It takes place sometime after kid buu's defeat. In this timeline, Goku trains very hard, & becomes even stronger than SS3 gotenks in his SS3 form. Gohan in his ultimate form is much weaker in this movie.
So, movies are over. Now, it is time to rate GT.
GT
All initially in million, unless specified.

thanks, I meant this.Kaboom wrote:Most of the other numbers on his list are in units of millions, to cut down on zeroes. So I think by the "exact" next to Muten Roshi's number, he means Roshi's PL is actually exactly 2,000 while the others are in the hundreds of millions or billions.

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
Movie / GT power level list
This is a continuation of DBZ power levels by me
The movies & GT have a llot of plotholes, so are hard to rate, but I'll try my best. This follows the same scheme from my previous thread list. However, all them are alternate timelines, slightly different from main one.

Good points. my explanaion:ThePiccolo wrote:Solid list there. Just 2 problems I have.
- Salza seems too close to Piccolo, since Piccolo had the upper hand for most of the fight.
- In the GT list, Gohan is at 300, while Vegeta starts off at 200. Shouldn't Vegeta be much stronger than Gohan due to his intense training?
Salza was the only one who gave piccolo problems. With piccolo's skill being nearly perfect , salza has to be very near him to even give him problems.
On vegeta & gohan , well , GT is ... GT. It is possible that this is due to ultimate / mystic power-up of gohan that still retains some strength in his base.

Grouping the characters into tiers:
Just like PL lists, many tier lists have been made here. I'll just throw in mine too, based on my PL list:
1 to 5
6-13
14-22
23-28
29 to 40
41 to 48

I have him a hair above majin vegeta in base, and 6 - 8 times stronger than buuhan in SS form.
