1st form Freeza: Beerus

Between Ginyu-1st form Freeza: Blue Gogeta, Vegetto, Broly, UI Goku?

Ginyu: Jiren, other GoDs

Ginyu Force:

Elite (Zarbon, Dodoria):

Raditz: SSJG (or maybe the next tier)
For the sake of using all tiers, the math won't add up (Raditz x 50 is almost Ginyu tier, but SSJB will be a lower tier). I think all GoDs were on the same tier, Beerus is way above the weakest GoD (Belmond?) but not many times stronger, otherwise he'd have solo'd the Battle Royale. The thing with Beerus is that using Hakai makes him stronger, that's the principle Vegeta adapts for Ultra Ego.

1st form Freeza: Beerus (Ultra Ego/Destruction)

Between Ginyu and 1st form Freeza: Freeza, Gohan Beast

Captain Ginyu: Cell MAX, Gas, TUI Goku, UE Vegeta, Granola

Ginyu Force: UI Goku, Moro, Jiren, Hakaishins (Including Beerus), Orange Piccolo

Elites: SSJB and rivals (Toppo, 17, Kefla, Saganbo, Zamasu...)

Raditz: SSJG

Isn't trying to pin down an exact level overthinking? This is basically seeing Goku shoot a Kamehameha and asking "Who's the weakest person that could survive this?" when it's not very relevant. We know Goku can handle it but Kaioshin can't. It's somewhere in between in a gap that could be very large or very small.

Saying the attack affected Goku as if he was in SSJB makes even less sense and actually requires reaching. Is this something in Goku's body, or in the technique itself?
I don’t read that as scrapping the bottom. Beerus only says “a God of Destruction in another universe”, he doesn’t say an universe with the weakest God of Destruction. Scrapping the bottom is probably something you could say about Super Saiyan God, as this is the form that Goku was using when Iwan said his fight against Toppo was at the level of a fight between Gods of Destruction.
"In another universe" means he can't be a candidate in his universe. This sounds like a jab at other gods, even before we find out Beerus might be the strongest of the gods.

The Moro Saga seems to make a distinction between God Ki and Divine Power (Goku complains lacking the later when Planet Moro pins him down, Dai Kaioshin says the same and goes get Uub). I'm not sure what this means exactly, but it might have something to do with how the GoDs react to Goku - It's both the size and quality of his Ki, "As if he's a god", as Helles says.
A possibility that comes to mind is that Supreme Kais’ body is not suited for traditional combat, while Goku and Toppo’s muscles are used to withstand heavy shocks, since they are seasoned warriors. The Angels are unaffected probably because ultra instinct makes their body extremely tough, unlike the Gods of Destruction that don’t have that ability.
This is certainly possible. I always liked to see Kaioshin as being very fragile and physically weak. I can't even imagine that guy throwing a punch, but those Eye Kiais he used when fighting Majin Boo were pretty powerful. He does survive two pretty big beatings from Majin Boo (One millions of years ago and one in the Boo Saga), but survival feats are very subjective.

We see some that are fighters like Zamasu or South Kaioshin (And according to Toei's website, U2's Kaioshin Pell is into physical fitness), but they could very well be the exception.

The anime is pretty explicit in her being outclassed by Goku.
It DOES focus on her skill rather than power, though, which increases a lot during the fight itself

It stands to reason she's roughly on the same level as Goku as far as pure power goes, same as Cabba with Vegeta.
So yeah, they’re more or less the same. Caulifla might be weaker than Zamasu, but this explains why Merged Zamasu rivals Goku while Kefla only rivals Gohan.
It's worth to note that Manga Kale got SENSIBLY tired before fusing(hell, it was one of the reason behind the fusion), and the fusion didn't restore any stamina.

And Manga Caulifla, while a talented fighter, doesn't seem to be the super-duper fighting genius she's in the anime.
In fact: she's ONLY Super Saiyan ONE in the manga. She doesn't reach SS2 like in the anime.

So Manga Kefla is already at a disadvantage in components: Zamasu is about SS2 in both anime and manga

Plus I don't think we got any benchmark for Gohan's manga power in ToP? Also, Merged Zamasu was immortal an untiring. It was the main problem with him, rather than just his power-level

I think this is more or less the same scenario of Base Gohan lifting the Z Sword, while Shin and Kibito couldn’t. They are physically weaker than Base Gohan, but in a actual fight Kibito is supposed to be a difficult opponent for Gohan, while Shin can beat him as long as he doesn’t use Super Saiyan. Probably they are specialized in spiritual energy or magic, making them tough foes for one unprepared.

The Moro Saga seems to make a distinction between God Ki and Divine Power (Goku complains lacking the later when Planet Moro pins him down, Dai Kaioshin says the same and goes get Uub). I'm not sure what this means exactly, but it might have something to do with how the GoDs react to Goku - It's both the size and quality of his Ki, "As if he's a god", as Helles says.
Helles’ observation is related to that, but I’m specifically referencing what Iwan said: “This fight is already on the level of gods”, while Goku was using Super Saiyan God.

Yeah, the level/realm of the gods is a term introduced in the BoG arc to essentially describe a long tier of power that starts with Super Saiyan God and goes up to Beerus and beyond. SSG-level strength is likely the bare minimum that one would need to qualify as a God of Destruction candidate.

Most characters tend to be either comfortably within that range or nowhere near it.

I have a doubt: was "God Ki" ever used as a term in-story?

I recall "Level\Realm of the Gods" and "Divine Power", but no specific reference to some form of Ki specific of the Gods

Not sure with those words, but in BoG Whis said that mortals can't sense a god's ki, while Dende (aka God) could and was astonished by Beerus.

So there was at least a distinction made between regular ki and a god's ki.

Good list! I think it could be something like that. I was wondering since I've heard that Blue is 50x God but is there anything that implied it's that big? I know it's based on the old 50x multiplier but I mean if Toei and Toyotaro are writing the story with that big of a powerup in mind. I recall the Champa saga in the manga implied Blue might only be 10x God.

Elite Saiyan: BoG Beerus.

Nappa: SSG.

Raditz: Super Vegito.
*I know I'm repeating myself here, but it was treated as such a big deal, the balance of the universe being shifted -and as a bad thing, too-, that if it isn't somebody (a bad dude, I don't see how Gohan doing it would be a problem) reaching that level, then I don't know what the hell it was supposed to mean.
But if this ain't it, then I'd have Beerus be alone on 2nd form Freeza level.

So, BoG is the saiyan arc, RoF and FT arc are the Namek arc, the ToP is the Ginyu Tokusentai arc, the end of the ToP, Broly movie and Moro arc represent the Ginyu arc, and Granola and SH are the Freeza arc.

I would say originally Super Saiyan Blue could be 50x Base, based on the description that the form had when it debuted on RoF. Or maybe it merely added an extra percentage (like 10%~50%) considering that Goku and Vegeta were still weaker than Beerus and he was 66,6% above Super Saiyan God.

The manga makes a point about Vegeta not being able to exert even 1/10 of Super Saiyan Blue power if he uses it in succession. At least, not until he overcome that weakness. Then, Hit suggests Super Saiyan God is in a completely different level, so it was probably far beyond the 1/10 Blue mark (like 3/10 or 4/10). Hit’s battle power likely transits between 1/10 and 9/10 Blue.

Imperfect Blue is indeed not even 10x God as Hugo said. Perfected Blue is a whole other talk, though. If it's the full power of SSJB locked inside the body, then I think it's the full 50x boost of SSJ.

The gap between Perfected Blue and God is fairly large from what we see. Granted fusion isn't that much when it's not Goku and Vegeta, but folks like Goku Black and Kale go from Imperfected to Perfected Blue level with fusion. Moro also absorbs a shit ton of energy for several chapters and is still below PSSJB after absorbing all of Namek.

Good question. A quick Ctrl+F through Strength Checkers gives no results. Maybe God Ki is the Zenkai of Super, a fanmade word that creeped into canon... but I suspect M14 and 15 might have something.

This is actually fairly convincing. I wouldn't say Kaioshin can't hold the Z Sword since we never see him try that, but he's more or less like Dende who has a lot of Ki, but not for brawling. He has some techniques sure, but no meat in his arms. Reminds me of Goku and Kuririn pushing a boulder Roshi couldn't back in the beginning of the series, right before the 21st Budokai.

When it comes to durability, it's suggested Dai Kaioshin saved him in the first fight, and in the second Boo was toying with him and only got rid of Gohan and Dabra because they were annoying him. Kaioshin also takes a beating from Future Zamasu, but Black and Zamasu were so incompetent they couldn't even kill Mai...

I've tried to scale the Moro arc. I’m uncertain if this belongs here or on that other thread.

For reference, the ToP:
Namek portion:
Earth portion:
Final Bout, 1st round:
Final Bout, 2nd round:

No multipliers were taken into account, because well, they are made up and they are mostly plot-dependant. Only SSG (10xSS3) and 10x for SSB I kept, and boy was there a lot of room for most of the arc to happen within a 10x gap.

Also, SSB Gogeta is a pain in the ass, his multiplier doesn’t make sense, things would be really easy if Moro7-3 wasn’t said to be the toughest, or if Broly wasn’t part of U7 during the Granola arc. But it is what it is, and we can’t accomodate the story to the arbitrary numbers we come up with, it’s the other way around, actually.

Ah ok I forgot about Completed Blue. I wonder how it works for the films and anime since a mastered Blue did exist there. The anime had Blue Evolution which I think was said to be equal to Goku's KKx20. It's hard to tell the difference between God and Blue in Broly since his power kept rising during the battle.

The other thread probably makes more sense if it has numbers, but this is just a spin-off of that one so whatever.

I like the smaller numbers. SSJBE just being 2x and UI being just 5x. If Toyotaro has numbers in mind, it's definitely nothing big since he skipped Broly.

I don't think Moro's magic really counts as worth listing. It's a completely separate thing from power.

The manga actually explains the Namekians came up with the idea of mass fusing after the Freeza Invasion, that's why the Namekian Savior didn't exist in the Freeza Saga. It also seemed like the villages had little contact back then and didn't know about the invasion. Never really gave much thought about Namekian Savior, though... He could be literally anywhere between Nappa and SSJG. I'd say it's something worth messing with numbers and multipliers just to have a clue.

I think discussing the powers of the Galactic Patrol is very interesting, and something I'd like to see more comments on (Along with the Namekian Savior, although NS is more fitting for the power levels thread). The Heeters knew about them and still acted like Gas was the strongest person they knew (after Freeza ofc), so maybe most (if not all) of the Brigade is below 1st form Freeza?

I wouldn't place them on Ginyu level and below because I imagine the humans are somewhat above Ginyu (At least Kuririn is: He was so close at 75k on Namek), but they're on the same level as the Heeters at least. I think the Maccareni bro's are sub-1000 though, I can see them giving BoZ characters a good fight. Even Shimorekka himself isn't going past 10k if Jaco of all people could fight him.

A very interesting thing I've seen pointed out elsewhere: Seven-Three is only said to copy power, not speed or durability. Maybe that's why Gohan and 17 beat him up so easily? Jaco already hyped up 73 as strong even without copying, so maybe he's close to Piccolo normally... Or maybe 73 could just use Moro's magic (Moro has to explain he also had his power saved inside 73 later), but the speed/durability thing makes more sense for me.

Sounds like Blue's stamina issue was solved back when Goku and Vegeta were training with Whis in the anime/movie, around the time of Rof or U6. Or maybe it simply never existed.

If we want to keeps things simple in the movies...

Goku/Vegeta: 1
~ SSJ: 5
~ SSJG: 25
~ SSJB: 50

Broly: 5
~ Ikari: 50

I don't mind Broly getting a more than 10x boost since as you said, Broly's power was always rising, but this is as simple as it gets.

Or maybe 73 could just use Moro's magic (Moro has to explain he also had his power saved inside 73 later), but the speed/durability thing makes more sense for me.
7-3 should definitely be unable to copy durability, specially because his own works better than most(he even survived Moro's death), and the same attacks that worked on him, weren't working on Moro.
But Jaco says he can copy even punches and kicks, because they are "techniques", so the speed of a punch or a kick should be the same as the guy's he just stole it from. Since flying is also a technique, he should be able to fly just as fast as the guy he copied it from.
Jaco sums it up as if you are fighting yourself, if he just copied you that is, no mention about speed not being part of the deal, and the fight supports it, he's dead even with Piccolo and when he fights with Gohan's power, he is taken down by teamwork.
17 beats him up fair and square, but I assume Moro let himself get copied before he reached his peak, while he was still below blue tier, it happened before that gang went on the road, at least two months before Moro got to Earth. So having a copy of a previous Moro, explains for me, why he wasn't a big deal.

His usage of Moro's data seems restricted, too, he knows he cannot eat the energy gathered, that's for Moro, so I think he got access only to his magic, it is said that it's a last resort thing.
7-3 being close to Piccolo seems about right, I've placed Piccolo around SS2-SS3 tier from Z, so he'd be a big deal around the universe. A tad too big of a deal now that I think about it, considering the Heaters were Supressed Namek Freeza level at best. Yauzogi, I think it was, said 7-3 was empty and they filled him up with data to make him stronger.
Bonus trivia: Old Moro, whom I had like twice Z SS3, ate him up like he was a piece of bread, so current SS level seems a fair spot for him.

Good call about Shimorekka, I completely missed his fight with Jaco. He must've been powered a bit for his second trip to Earth though, he survived 18, something I doubt Jaco could do. He ended up in better shape than 7-3.

Yunba seems to be a bit stronger than Krilin, who won by pure skill and wits. Who knows how strong the guys are by now? low millions? 10M? 20M? If K was 15, I'd say Y was 20M.
If Tenshinhan is 10M, then Metalman shouldn't be more than that... Tenshinhan was fast enough to dodge him. But it's an odd enough character to fit the typical scaling...
Kikaza, Waza, Miza: they lost to Roshi, so they might be saiyan arc tier, with his bootleg UI Roshi could be anywhere. Their fusion, though, should be 30M or so.
Zauyogi was beating Yamcha(8M?) and Tenshinhan(10M), so 20M would be good enough for a guy that seems to be right behind the main criminals of the gang.
I might be highballing the Zetto Senshi, but in any case the gap between their powers should be accurate.

Bergamo solos all the old Z movie villains. Maybe he needs his brothers for the M13 villain but his ability could also give him the win there.

Basil is often compared to Majin Vegeta. I think he would have an interesting fight

Lavender is complicated. He’s very weak without poison and would probably lose to Organic Cooler. Metal Cooler, Super 13, Janemba and Hirudegarn are probably immune to his poison, but it should work on Broly and Bojack at least.

Bergamo likely clears the old movies. Only Janemba and Hirudegarn would make him use his energy absorption power.

Together, they might even beat M14 Beerus and M15 Golden Freeza if them forcing Goku and Vegeta to go Blue was genuine.

So having a copy of a previous Moro, explains for me, why he wasn't a big deal.

His usage of Moro's data seems restricted, too, he knows he cannot eat the energy gathered, that's for Moro, so I think he got access only to his magic, it is said that it's a last resort thing.
7-3 being close to Piccolo seems about right, I've placed Piccolo around SS2-SS3 tier from Z, so he'd be a big deal around the universe. A tad too big of a deal now that I think about it, considering the Heaters were Supressed Namek Freeza level at best. Yauzogi, I think it was, said 7-3 was empty and they filled him up with data to make him stronger.
Bonus trivia: Old Moro, whom I had like twice Z SS3, ate him up like he was a piece of bread, so current SS level seems a fair spot for him.

Good call about Shimorekka, I completely missed his fight with Jaco. He must've been powered a bit for his second trip to Earth though, he survived 18, something I doubt Jaco could do. He ended up in better shape than 7-3.

Yunba seems to be a bit stronger than Krilin, who won by pure skill and wits. Who knows how strong the guys are by now? low millions? 10M? 20M? If K was 15, I'd say Y was 20M.
If Tenshinhan is 10M, then Metalman shouldn't be more than that... Tenshinhan was fast enough to dodge him. But it's an odd enough character to fit the typical scaling...
Kikaza, Waza, Miza: they lost to Roshi, so they might be saiyan arc tier, with his bootleg UI Roshi could be anywhere. Their fusion, though, should be 30M or so.
Zauyogi was beating Yamcha(8M?) and Tenshinhan(10M), so 20M would be good enough for a guy that seems to be right behind the main criminals of the gang.
I might be highballing the Zetto Senshi, but in any case the gap between their powers should be accurate.
Yeah, 73 probably does copy speed. I assume he just wasn’t allowed to use his power then. I think he does absorb a Kamehameha Gohan fired at him, though. Where else would it go? And how strong 73 get stronger from that?

As for the other Galactic Brigade members…

Saganbo: 600,000
Yuzun: 460,000 - 575,000
Zayiufofgi (How do you write this name): 500,000
Yunba: 400,000
Bikkura Quoitur: 400,000 (May be slow given his size, I think Magetta was since Vegeta dodged him)
Girls: 200,000 (600,000 merged)
Shimorekka: 5,000? (I think 18 was just lazy tbh)

Humans:

Kuririn: 400,000
Tenshinhan: 300,000
Yamcha: 150,000
Chaozu: 30,000
Master Roshi: 15,000 (300,000 Feeling like it)

1 vs 1, I think they all fair very well against Coola and the others below, but they struggle against the ones above, especially Lavender.

I would say Bergamo may be able to go toe-to-toe with Janemba in his first form, but he loses to Janemba’s second form. Basil is probably evenly matched with Bojack, while Lavender is on Meta Coola’s level.

As a team, it’s difficult to say, but I don’t think it’s required go that far into god level, considering they aren’t even SS3 level on their own, but maybe they could beat all villains until Hirudegarn. Freeza would be too much for them.

When 73 had Piccolo's powers and Gohan showed up and started wrecking stuff. 73's partner said to take Gohan's abilities since he is "stronger." Then Gohan would of been fighting a copy of himself. Punches and kicks the same.

I think this is my definitive movie-verse scale. It was going to be a tier list, but I think numbers are easier to read and to get the point across. Tier lists always have a bunch of names jumbled together, and numbers are fine if you cut the zeroes. Explanations and speculations also inside the spoiler.

It's a bit surprising how consistent the movies are, even on stuff as confusing as Base Goku's power. The animanga-only sagas are mere speculation based on Toriyama's notes and what's more remarkable and makes the most sense (Since being more memorable means it's more likely for AT to remember).
