Wanted to bring this up in the 2-C Dragon Ball confirmation thread, but it's better to just make it here as to not derail anything.
Wouldn't it make more sense for anime Base and Super Saiyan level characters to still be around 4-B? I know Super's scaling is really, really stupid and wonky, but there's absolutely no way someone like Frost or Cabba is able to cause destruction on a Low Multiversal scale. It's common knowledge to Dragon Ball fans that the Super Saiyan God form was absorbed into Goku's base, but was it ever mentioned that he retained the God's crimson radiance across the Battle of Gods arc all the way to the pre-Resurrection 'F' training arc anywhere at all?
I've been rewatching the DBS anime and reading the Dragon Ball Wiki (I wouldn't say it's a good place for scaling questions, but it does document the franchise well with references), and like the manga, it seems to imply more that the God forms and the power-up that lets you use God ki in base are on a universe-destroying level of power rather than the Base and Super Saiyan forms, so it's more likely that the whole "God form becomes the new base form" was just a temporary boost that wore off when the ritual's power faded away.
Then again, I don't know exactly so I want to ask around what people think.
UPDATE: Also wanted to mention the actual legend told by Shenron.
