Great to see thread so full of life

. I guess super anime is doing really great job in making/helping discussion of power level even if in negative way as people are confused. After all it doesn't matter if you are talking about something/someone in good or bad way as long as you talk about it, where aim is just something being discussed and pulling our attention. Joking aside, I agree with everyone stating that characters's standing in power level relation/comparision are the same or at least close in both manga and anime. Actually what only differs them is super Saiyan god power being absorbed in anime, or at least as it was accepted and hit vs goku fight, where kaioken was brought back, so this time I will try to avoid long big post, but instead try to create different pathways for power of characters depending on which pathway you guys want to choose(anime wise):
1) Super Saiyan god power being absorbed and goku not dropping at all in power while switching to super Saiyan, then fight beerus like that with no problem and finally in base for short brief moment destroying destructive ball sent by beerus.
a. It was just prototype of super Saiyan blue. Hold on, but he lacked divine ki and was sensable, right ? Well trick could be whis's training about ki not leaking out or goku lack of control over divine ki which mixed with his regular ki. Isn't it also interested why it was super Saiyan transformation to which goku reverted into instead of something else. Note also that beerus mentions crimson fite of ssg still burning inside you and it seemed to be only one time of thing.
b. At that time, Toei was just following Akira's mind that neither ss2 or ss3 will be brought up so the most powerfull transormation and iconic and legendary one at top of all these stuff was ss, that why Goku reverted to ss after time limit of ssg runs out.
c. Retconn, Akira decided that absorbing goodhood means only that he would one day bring out this world of power back but for that he needed whis's training so that why it wasn't until goku turned ssb for King Kai to comment how goku regained god power finally. Super Saiyan or base with crimson fire were only one thing of time.
d. Super Saiyan was indeed equal to ssg at that time, and base is only x 50 but it later was contradicted, so plot hole ?
2) In the ressurection of freeza arc, Both gohan and krillin commented on goku being even stronger then he was against beerus. We know that goku was in base at that time, so it could mean:
a. Rof Base goku > post ssg base goku, nothing about ss as both whis and beerus commented how much goku and vegeta improved but still were barerly reaching god power. Beerus being impressed would be addressed that he meant: stronger base->stronger ss(ssg)
b. Rof base goku > post ssg ss goku, well it would only contradict whis's statement about goku and vegeta much improving but still being barerly god level while oracle fish brought up ss tranformation as very powerfull one(x50 mutliplier)
3) Kaiokenx10 ssb goku, well it was not only not expected and brought a more confusion and messed power level/comparision even more. I guess it was one time of thing to increase ratings of watching maybe as people would be hyped for it. Sure it looked cool and all, but hardly made sense in compare to full power ss not being compatible with kaioken
4) Copy water arc is hard to accept as filler or not, but I guess at least it was made to show us where at least base goku and base vegeta could be..., still it would make ss tranformation not enough to put on ssg level not even mentioning being stronger.
5) Lastly while goku used ss2 against Zamasu Beerus didn't even acknowledge goku being as strong as he was when he fought beerus or at least isn't as impressed with him which again shout out retconn for beerus's power and ssg not being relevant anyway, which would be rather dumb.
To be honest I am going by: 1)a/b/c(combination of them) -> 2)a, This way base goku/vegeta vastly improved still so they would be above ss3 level buu arc, but not so far above everyone without transformations.
Also about Future trunks, let's say he had 10 years for his ss2 to be vastly improved and considering the was fighting and somehow surviving hard clashes with goku Black for 1 year or so... I can definietly see Trunks improving to at least ss3 vegetoo level, which may sound ridiculous but doesn't it sound familliar(freeza 4 months training), lol.
