If you had to estimate your battle power...

What would it be?

I'd say I'd be a 5.

I hope you are not expecting anyone to reply with a number greater than 50...

I'm as strong/weak as the plot wants me to be. I am... Incalculable.

Greater than 50? I don't expect anyone to be greater than 10 or equal to it lol.

If Ki, at least DB's form of it, actually exists in our world then everyone has a PL in the single digit range at best. Yamcha at the beginning of DB was below 10 yet he still had any real world martial artist beat in physical feats & abilities.
Can anyone here say they can strike a person through several stone columns or withstand such force themselves?

I'm definitely not stronger than a guy that works the land and wields a shotgun... so I guess a 3. Back when I was taking aikido classes, my ki was more developed so perhaps a 4,5? above my usual self but still below fireguns.

Somewhere between turtle and the farmer with shotgun. Probably closer to turtle, since I don't go to the gym since covid.

Adjustable 4 - 6. I have some ki training under my belt thanks to my local shaolin dojo

But if Goku's a 10 and Farmer with a shotgun is a 5, then where do olympians pro athletes fit? Like 7-9?

I'd say about a 7, until someone on Apex Legends decides to loot a box instead of rezzing me, then I shoot immediately up to super saiyan blue.

I'd say 5-6. I exercise daily and hit the gym at least 3 times a day. I also do some martial arts so I'm at least the higher-end of average.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Probably a 4.5, if I had a shotgun my battle power would jump to 15.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

I suggest people to apply DB logic. Not our world one. We don't even have "KI" the way the manga describe it, not a body that can resist for long to increased gravity. All of our battle power is ZERO.

So, probably, anyone attending a martial art school, gym, survival, fightings and meditation will grow in "power" way more (and differently) than it does on natural Earth.

If I have to match my experience on a "Dragon Ball" meter, I'm around Yamcha (vs Tien, 22nd Tenkaichi).
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.

Probably about 1000 if you take it as a given that your power level increases by 5 every time you win an argument online

We'd be dead at 0. Everyone without any knowledge should be at least 0.1 or what ever poor turtle was.

I'd also like to note that while most people would have a readable power level in the single-digit range, only those who train in martial arts all their lives would even be able to access it. If it were in RPG terms, the vast majority of people are at "Level 1/100" is using Ki while Kid Goku is at "Level 90/100" in comparison. The Shotgun Farmer could probably only strike with a small fraction of his PL of 5 while Kid Goku could strike with nearly all of his PL of 10, being several times(tens of times possibly) stronger by comparison.

The is the best explanation for Kid Goku being a 10 vs Farmer at a 5 ever.
