No need, all this arguing over hypotheticals about what Zamasu did in Goku's body has left me exhausted of the whole debate and I doubt it'll ever go anywhere. I'd prefer that we just agree to disagree and move on, but if you really want the last word then you can have it I guess.

Well then I'm fine with that, I didn't previously read your comment before posting that last one as I planned to later. If you just wanna drop it OK, probably best then that I don't read what you said at all because it'll just make me want to reply to it.

Not trying to make this just a last comment kinda thing so I'll leave this here so the posts actually on topic.

Fine by me. For what it's worth, if I came across as cocky then I'll go ahead and apologize for that. Like you said it's just a discussion on power levels, so I don't want to risk the chance that there might be some kind of lasting hostility between anyone because that's just silly.

Bullza:

How is base Black stronger than Golden Freeza? That's insane.

Please tell me how Piccolo even survived a punch from Frost if he is below Boo? Even weakened Frost was still on par or stronger than base Goku or Vegeta.

It's all cool, it ain't no big deal forget about it. I probably shouldn't have prodded, I was asking for trouble, I should have just replied to the other parts and left the last chunk off altogether because I was making it worse so I'm sorry too.

He might not be at. When he fought SSJB Vegeta he blitzed him with a finger to the neck, he then got pummeled and he wasn't really that hurt (it's not like he can't be hurt because he can) and then he kicks Vegeta and hurts him, the first of those two in particular I couldn't being true for Golden Frieza at all.

If you saw that scene by itself you'd think Black was stronger than SSJB Vegeta but then he turns into his Rose form and you'd think he'd be several times, maybe tens of times stronger but it doesn't really show when he fights anyone. SSJR Black was stronger than them but he wasn't that much stronger than them so you'd also think in his Base form he'd be much weaker than SSJB but it didn't come across that way at all.

Was Vegeta caught off guard by Black's power up and that's why he was blitzed? Was he severely holding back when fighting Base Black? It didn't seem like it at all so it's odd.
Please tell me how Piccolo even survived a punch from Frost if he is below Boo? Even weakened Frost was still on par or stronger than base Goku or Vegeta.
Well Buu was the #1 choice and Piccolo was the #2 choice so you'd think Piccolo would be weaker. As for him surviving a punch from Frost well

1. Frost did say he no longer had the power to accidentally kill him so he would have weakened quite a lot.

2. It was against the rules to kill him so he wouldn't have anyway.

SSB Vegeta was not going at full power against base Black. This is pretty clear when Black has to put effort while holding Vegeta's punch.

You have base Goku stronger than SSJ Vegetto so weakened Frost was stronger than him. Boo - SSJ Vegetto is a massive gap that not even the Makankosappo can fill and Frost did say that he would lose if he got hit with it. Piccolo needs to be stronger than Boo.

Yeah but why wouldn't he be going at him at full power? It's not like he knew he was capable of transforming so it'd be one of those times were they say "Show me your real power". How does him holding back his full power mean Black was able to get speed over to him before he could even react? I don't recall a character blitzing a much more powerful character like that before.

It could be as you said and he was holding back as SSJ2 Trunks easily stopped Base Black and Zamasu's combined blast (though they could have been holding back because he was just aimed at a human but then why they'd even need to combine it...) but if that is the answer then it's just odd the way they went about it because there's no comment from anyone or any visual cue that he'd powered up or was fighting seriously now.

The whole Piccolo and Frost fight is just odd, it doesn't make sense how you look at it. Like I said there was "obviously" Buu and then "I guess" Piccolo. He was shown to be on par with Base Gohan just a few days before the Tournament and he was weaker than he was back in the Buu saga. He said he wouldn't be able to keep up with Goku or Vegeta and that's why he didn't go into the ROSAT.

When it comes time for him to fight both he and Goku know he doesn't stand a chance. Nobody says he's powered up. Everything fits within expectations. They fight...it's mostly written in a way to explain why he did better than you'd think... but then he does that Special Beam Cannon which is far more powerful than it ever had the right to be but they did say it was an attack that went beyond his limits so if it meant it was enormously beyond his limits then I could suspend a bit of disbelief for the sake of entertainment. Vegeta then had to transform to beat him when by all rights he shouldn't have needed to at all.

It makes no sense for Piccolo to be stronger than Buu and he certainly shouldn't be stronger than Base Vegeta but then it makes no sense why Vegeta would have to transform either. The latter would be much more believable though, technically there's nothing wrong with him being able to beat Frost in his base form if he wanted to but still used Super Saiyan just because.

The two base theory started because of this fight. A quick and simply comment like "You're not even as strong as Buu" would fix all this confusion and theorizing in seconds.

Piccolo was fighting on par with Ultimate Gohan in the beginning of the U6 arc, and he seemed to be slightly superior. He seems to be stronger than Boo, but weaker than base Goku & Vegeta.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

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.

It's a guess if Gohan was Ultimate. There were no visible cues since Ultimate Gohan looks like Gohan with an aura.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I'd say it appeared that way, but that's not surprising since we've had statements to back it up, but it was nice to get visual confirmation.

I think that is a safe bet since Future Zen'o is chilling in the past now, something I don't think he would do if there was anything left of the future. Too bad we actually couldn't see it since all the character bugged out.

I remember when people were wondering what kind of buster Zeno would be and if he destroyed a Universe would he also destroy all the timelines of that one Universe or just the one.

So it definitley looks like he can wipe out the entire Multiverse but not the entire...I dunno the word, the entire world, his power doesn't cross over to other timelines. Not that maybe it couldn't because Zamasu somehow was breaking into another timeline.

Well, atleast we know why Beerus is sweating bullets everytime he even hears the word Zeno lol.

Haha, maybe the next villain that wants to destroy everything should just steal the Zeno button, make Zeno appear and annoy him. Total annhilation.

And to think i thought the Zeno button was going to be a instant win button lol

He had Ultimate Gohan's hair and on this last episode he had his eyes. He's obviously not at his Boo arc prime but he's getting there.

How would you know he isn't at his Buu Saga prime? And Gohan was still fairly skinny in Episode 30 compared to Ultimate Gohan.

Zeno's power crosses over through reality itself. It's so powerful it broke the fourth wall, and killed all the streams airing from japan. That's super OP!
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

He appeared more bulky in episode 43 and I suppose you're right, we can't know if he is at his full power again or not in this last episode.

Good, tho the gap between Base saiyans and DBZ era fighters is massive.

Basically, since u started with 30 k, anyone below Ultimate Gohan and ssj3 Gotenks shouldnt even be on that list.

While it might annoy some, that is how it is. Current base Trunks/Goku/Vegeta>>> Ultimate Gohan, ssj3 Gotenks and so forth.
