Revising Cell Saga Scaling

9,053

This one is going to take a little more discussion.

Okay so...


As Third Grade Super Saiyan is accepted as 10x Second Grade, thus >10x Super Saiyan (i.e., >500x), the scaling chain from Super Trunks onward needs to be revised.
For sanity's sake, a Quettaton of TNT is 4.18254497e+39 joules.
This bumps the Z-Fighters up by several times, and buffs Powerhouse Cell into Solar System level.
Feel free to talk about it!

Trunks was shocked at SS3 Goku's power, who one-shot him when base Black never did. His assessments are generally accurate, even if they at least suggest they are comparable. If Goku were still (much) weaker, Trunks would probably say something.
Actually, now that you mention it, it would be really weird for Trunks to be shocked by Goku’s strength if he was 1/10 as powerful as Cell, so nvm, I’m fine with that part.
 
Cell, at the time of confronting Trunks, had been fully realized for mere minutes, and everything up until that point had been described as a "warm up". Its power is vast, and its complete extents were only revealed against Gohan, quaking the entire planet in the process.

Grade 3 Cell then could be infinitely inferior to the Cell that fought Goku for all we know.

Then why assume he was using the full strength of Grade 3, when the powerup itself is meant to multiply his raw strength itself? For all we know he could be suppressing himself even while in this state, we don’t know.
 
It'd be pretty strange to gawk about the utility, or lack thereof, of a transformation and not actively show off the transformation in its fullest.
 
Cell showing off his version of a Grade 3 sounds solid, as would Goku mastering SSJ being stronger than Grade 3 SSJ Trunks. But it is kind of a loophole given that Cell considered him unimpressive unless it's implied Cell is stronger during Cell games than he was when he fight Vegeta and Trunks.

Also, don't Gohan and Super Perfect Cell already scale from an even better feat without yet another 10x multiplier? Because last I checked Cell's own Solar Kamehameha was caucluated to be over a Kilofoe or over 10^47 Joules.
 
So in other words, Cell was holding back and was hiding his true strength during his fight with Ultra SSJ Trunks. Yeah that sounds about right.
 
Wouldn’t this scaling have some ramifications in the Buu saga?

Under the assumption that Piccolo would be nearing Cell Jr levels of Power and base Saiyans by that time scale above Piccolo whilst having access to a 500x multiplier as SS2.
 
Just to address this, when Cell said he'd destroy the entire Solar System, would he be destroying everything up the Kuiper Belt or Ort Cloud?

Because I have my own calc for that
I'd prefer sticking to AssaltWaffle's calculation, it uses the assumptions that makes sense and has ISL calculated properly. "Destroying the sun from Earth's location" is just what is solid enough while requiring less assumptions.
 
Don't both Cell and Trunks say Vegeta has Grade 3 in the raws (which I have btw)?

Vegeta admitted that 50% Goku was way more powerful.

Grade 3 is not a form that any of the fighters would normally use (aside from Trunks who was ignorant about its drawbacks until Cell pointed them out).

50% Goku can just be much stronger than Vegeta normally.

It's not like Trunks thinks that he's never felt anything as strong as Goku at that time.
 
I really don't see why this wouldn't include Grade 3 just because it's not a form he chooses to use.
 
It's this (since the official translation is way more clear), but never mind. I guess we can just go with the low-ball route when there's some vagueness involved.
How the hell is Goku at 50%> Grade 3 Cell when his 100% is weaker than normal Cell?
Perfect Cell holding back almost the entire time he was onscreen, including the Trunks fight. He uses his full power once against SS2 Gohan.

This is why his and Goku's kis were >> everyone else during the Cell Games, despite Krillin sensing Grade 3's ki.
