The big problem with the DBZ anti-feats progression is that it entirely hinges on reducing of everything in OG DB to strictly human level, which couldn’t be further from what the series consistently shows. You cut off its legs (All the weighted clothing and the initial gravity training) and the whole chain goes down.I see, though the rest of the series shouldn't be neglected either as that's where some of the most explicit anti-feats can be found.
But the more recent anti-feats would take precedence over what was written earlier; Toriyama may have wrote a feat of Goku pushing a large boulder early on, but if years later he then writes a stronger version of Goku struggling with 10 ton weights on his arms during training, then the mostly written information would show what Toriyama considered Goku's strength to be at the time of writing it. Old information & stats being retconned by the more up-to-date displays of strength seems perfectly reasonable.The big problem with the DBZ anti-feats progression is that it entirely hinges on on reducing of everything OG DB as strictly average human level, which couldn’t be further from what the series consistently shows.

Honest to God. It's OG DB.Why are you listing it as 4 anti-feats when the OP has listed 19 anti-feats that contradict the current ratings ?

Large Planet Goku lost to Continental Deku due to lifting strengthWhat's even the point of lifting strength anyway? lol. Does it even have any use in combat? What, are you going to lift a planet and throw it at Goku or something? lol. Goku can destroy it. Or are you going to lift a universe maybe? Well, even then Goku is still capable of destroying it. Or are you going to throw universes?? lol. Goku can still destroy them.
If two characters are in the same tier but one has notable higher lifting strength then it can either choke or physically restrain the other, giving an edge in close combat.What's even the point of lifting strength anyway? lol.

Goku is 2-C level anyway. Talk about Goku at his peak, not at his weakest.Large Planet Goku lost to Continental Deku due to lifting strength
You asked why lifting strength mattersGoku is 2-C level anyway. Talk about Goku at his peak, not at his weakest.
Oh yeah this needs to be removed, LS meta is no moreLarge Planet Goku lost to Continental Deku due to lifting strength
They concluded the staff thread by saying you can choke out people with higher durability with LS you know that rightOh yeah this needs to be removed, LS meta is no more
This is one guy that nobody agrees with, stop trying to use this to limit supporters.If this is the attitude people are gonna have in this thread it might as well be a staff one like the previous two ngl
Sure, we're pretending any ki attack wouldn't vaporize the binds. Oh that reminds me.They concluded the staff thread by saying you can choke out people with higher durability with LS you know that right
3. Dragon Ball Chapter 39 - Giran throw:
- Goku throws Giran, who weighs 211 kg.
- Caveat: Goku initially struggles, then uses a running start.
- Result: 211 kg dynamic throw with effort and momentum.
- Rating: Athletic Human by raw mass, but the throw is much better than a static lift due to the launch/momentum involved. It shouldn't be treated as casual lifting, since Goku initially fails to move Giran efficiently, which aligns with the before-and-after here.
For the record, the throw if calced normally is only low Class 5, which honestly is still consistent with this given the caveats involved and the fact without those caveats he struggles with the default value.
While the breakdown of feats is appreciated, I believe that the majority of these are derived from fanmade calculations; calculations that while useful in the absence of any alternative are still based upon assumptions and methods that the original creator might've never contemplated. For example Toriyama might've never considered that "crushing a phonebooth" would be 228797796 kg feat by our standards.
I think it is more important to consider the feats that are solidly based on statements of concrete figures, i.e. 10 tons for Goku's training weights, 1000 tons for the metal alien guy, etc which are directly given to us, as opposed to 2,657 tons for the Z-sword which isn't directly stated.
For example, if a character said "My special technique, Shadow Movement, allows me to move at an incredible 50 meters per second", but we had a fanmade calculation that said "Based on FTE visuals, and average human reaction time, the character has been calculated to move at Mach 12". Would we prefer to go with what the character said? Or what we calculated?

Goku didn't destroy Cooler while he was getting his lungs crushed, did he?

Unrelated to Goku vs Deku, just wanted to point out how these stated weights and "anti-feats" are not respected by the author himself.That wasn’t Class P
The LS meta reigns…..
Is there a calc for that feat?Unrelated to Goku vs Deku, just wanted to point out how these stated weights and "anti-feats" are not respected by the author himself.
Literally none of what you said is relevant to anything in the CRT for the manga versions of the charactersOkay, what about the pressure that Goku withstood in the Tournament of Universes?
First, the compressive force he was subjected to inside the heart was enough to crush the arena and make it sink into it until it passed through and exited from below. The pressure here exceeds that of entire universes, meaning 2-C level, involving 6 universes on that scale or more.
Keep in mind that the arena itself has durability that surpasses 3 large universes. A clash of God of Destruction-level attacks is enough to destroy two large universes and distort the Earth between them, whereas this arena, as stated by the Grand Priest, is made of the strongest stones in all of Dragon Ball, and its durability is sufficient to withstand the collisions of all fighters as well as clashes of 3 Gods of Destruction. This means the durability of the stone it is made from is at a 2-C level involving 6 universes or more.
The heart in which Goku was trapped had pressure strong enough to sink through the arena and exit completely from the underside.
This requires compressive force far beyond 6 multiple universes at 2-C, because the arena itself already has durability and hardness exceeding 6 universes at 2-C level. Therefore, crushing the arena in this way under pressure exceeding 6 universes at 2-C is an achievement corresponding to lifting strength at the 2-C level.
The pressure released by that heart was enough to compress 6 full universes worth of durability into a single arena, and it was sufficient to completely crush it and break through the other side. Goku was able to resist this pressure, and even his Kamehameha, which he fired inside the void, was shaking due to the pressure.
Imagine an energy attack launched upward at a speed of 96.8 quadrillion-decillion, yet the pressure and gravity generated by the heart affected the energy and began pulling it downward as well, even though the attack’s speed was approximately 96.8 quadrillion-decillion according to calculations.
According to theory, for example, Earth’s gravity is 9.81. If a rocket is launched from Earth’s surface, the speed required to overcome a gravitational pull of 9.81 is approximately 11 kilometers per second (this is only an approximation). In this case, the rocket becomes capable of escaping Earth’s gravitational pull.
The same applies here: Goku launched a Kamehameha upward at an attack speed currently estimated on VSBW at approximately 96.8 quadrillion-decillion, yet the gravitational pull was still dragging even the energy downward into the heart. It was only an energy beam moving upward, yet it was being pulled downward to the extent that Goku used Kaio-ken x20 to increase the speed and power of the energy in order to survive and destroy the heart.
In summary, this gives Goku a lifting strength of 2-C and more than 6 universes within it.
How, what do you mean “what”? This is a compressive force. Don’t you know the gravitational force required to attract something moving in the opposite direction to you at the speed of light? How are you saying “what”? Everything is clear.What

Goku’s Kamehameha attack exceeds the speed of light by multiple orders of magnitude, and he fired it in the opposite direction of the heart, upward. Yet the heart was able to pull it downward using its own gravitational force. Logically, attracting something moving at light speed requires extremely high compressive and gravitational force.

This is true, yes, but I honestly doubt that Akira Toriyama thought about all of this when he introduced increased gravity into his story.Before there is an overboard, I think it's important to note that it's extremely consistent for giant characters to exist and part of scaling chains; and that it be far outrageous to rate their LS ratings any lower than their own weight classes, let alone everyone stronger than them. More over, Ki is used to both telekinesis stuff and muscular lifting enhancements; so many TK feats are still treated as LS strengths in general; at least for lifting the giant chunks, the launching parts are technically striking strength if it's hurting high tiered characters.
Also, Gravity formula isn't really the best example of an antifeat against lifting strength. There are far too many across the block scientific facts about what happens when you multiply gravity. When you multiply gravity, it's not just you that gets X times heavier, but literally the air you breath also gets X times heavier. Which in turn causes a lot of other details; atmospheric pressure also gets much more intense as a result. And it reaches a point where even if the atmospheric Nitrogen/Oxygen gas will feel like it becomes liquid or even solid once the gravity makes it heavier. At bare minimum, simply being able to withstand let alone stand or walk in a high gravity environment actually requires being exponentially stronger/tougher per unit. One would at least neat to be able to lift the equivalent 100x their body weight; and not just lift that much, but actually carry it as if it's light as a feather in order to regularly move or jump at decently superhuman velocities on an environment that is 10 G's. Likewise, the very bottom of the Ocean's bed roughly translates to the type of pressure one would at roughly between 19 and 20 G's. And it's not just a lifting strength feat or durability/AP feat to survive in high gravity environments, but the air would be too condensed to properly breath in. And even the density of blood surpasses the density of lead in a 10 G setting let alone the 450 G levels that Vegeta later considers "Light as a feather." And long story short, it's mostly the lack of adaptation rather than a valid antifeat against LS.
And FYI, in order for a planet as tiny as King Kai's planet to be 10 G's despite its small diameter/volume, the density would be literally billions of times greater than Earth's; not to mention the actual weight of the atmosphere would be 10x greater effectively making the overall pressure 10's of billions of times greater.
There he's talking about his overall power/ki (AP) not his LS (and as we see in the thread, the progression between these two things is very different in the manga)DBS in the Hero Arc explained it that it a bluff. so there isn't that much of an increase in LS from scaling Goku resisting Piccolo trying to crush him.

Well, wearing Weighted Gear suppresses your Ki itself, and Gas's gravity abilities inhibited Goku's motor functions.
