The fact that they're getting away with any saiyan obtaining god power by screaming really loud--no previous special training included--as well as villains training for 4 months to obtain this same level of power, is a downright insult to the intellect of anybody who watched the previous shows. Any non-DB fan would mock this fanbase for being fans of a show where grown men scream really loud to get stronger, ignoring every other development in the story. Well, now, they're right. That's literally what can happen in the show now that they retconned Gohan's hidden powers into a general saiyan "anger" trait. No explanations even given to new forms like Trunks'. The writers are like, "just go with it." lol.
I learned english listening to songs. So I don't know anything about. The day you had to learn play piano by just listening .mp3, you'll understand.

The problem is that they ignore power level for aome characters but keep it for others.

The responses to this thread seem to be "power levels AND strength do/don't matter" whereas I'm specifically distinguishing between the concept of having mathematically consistent and realistic powerlevels and the basic concept common to all fighting shonen with good writing (and Dragonball itself prior to GT and then the new round of stuff) that the differences in strength between characters actually make sense and act to maintain the sense of threat from the villain. Also, "it's a kids show" is a cop out, since DB has always been a kid's show by virtue of being a shonen but managed to be a better kids show before.

Only works in Hunter x Hunter, and in JJBA, because other Mainstream series are also a trainwreck when it comes to Power Scaling.
And according to Gowasus words, Power of Rage looks to be the equivalent of Nakama Power/Power of Feelings/Power of friendship u have seen in Mainstream series, there is ur explanation
