Literally why are you debating about a verse you know NOTHING about?
Hah okay, whatever you say man
Currently we accept that,
outside of edge cases,
power and speed increase proportionally.
I know that speed increases when power levels do, that was never refuted. However whether they increase 1:1 is from a potentially faulty translation as in the volume version of the panel as well as the RAWS (feel free to ask a tl helper for that, this is just a rough translation), Vegeta doesn't
ask himself if speed increases
along with it, he just says that since his power level rises, his speed also does. The semantics here matters because "along with" implies their amps would be similar, where as without it, they both just get amped but we wouldn't know
how much the ratio for the speed and strength would be in the verse.
So
if we cannot assert for sure that Dragon Ball characters get 3x faster when they get 3x stronger for example, you
cannot use statements such as:
.
And so on. In fact,
the entire chain talks about power quantifiably and not speed, leaving them to Kaioken and Vegetas statement as just them getting amped and as such they'd all be
unquantifiably faster as a result (and that's
if the Vegeta statement (
and the Goku one for that matter) do
not talk about a 1:1 amp which I honestly don't think they do. The Kaioken is explicitly stated to amp speed indeed, but the ratio relies on Vegeta's statement to mean a 1:1 amp, so it falls under this clause as well.
The story has established that a gap in power level as little as
18000 to
24000, a
gap that's canonically linear thanks to the Kaioken,
is enough for a blitz to occur. This is also proven true when Frieza, having
almost twice his power in his second form,
was able to blitz Vegeta,
whom he was able to contend with in his first form. So it is narratively sound to claim a gap between
1.33x to
2x canonically allows for a speed blitz. This is even consistent in the Cell Saga,
where Gohan was on par with Perfect Cell in terms of speed, but
turned a stomp around with a
2x multiplier. We will use 1.33x so you have better odds, okay?
The second main thing one gotta counter really is this part, because if this argument doesn't work, then the rest of the chain is bunk.
Power levels in the series have consistently been shown and
stated multiple times by Akira to be extremely inconsistent in regards to their portrayals (the most important parts to mention is that they were made simply to make people understand of a strength gap instead of an exact mathematical estimate, and that he abandoned them for ki amps mid-Saiyan Saga because he didn't want fans to just read the power levels and conclude who would win from that), and the multiplier standards that yall wanna skip so badly
clearly states that they must always be reliable. Unreliable multipliers get thrown out so yeah.
Since you claim they are linear and wanna
upscale people from them because you claim the story cannot work otherwise, let's
backscale them to the farmer at the start of Z
who has a PL of 5, shall we.
Raditz has a power level of
1500.
Raditz is currently
Relativistic+ (0.54c) and he's 300x stronger than the farmer as a result. Downscaling leads the farmer's combat speed to be
Massively Hypersonic+ (Mach 1583.20), meaning he'd be faster than any gun ever, even his own shotgun if we pull a sanity check. This is a
clear contradiction of scale in the verse that other verses have had their multipliers rejected for (no, this aint whataboutism, it's me demanding consistency) as normal humans aren't normally MHS+
Before I get called out for being "disingenious" for using the farmer, this is far from it. This line of logic not only justifies that 1:1 speed scaling using power levels aren't internally consistent both ways, it also has the conclusion of fodder characters being absurdly fast for no reason (and also absurdly strong, but that's another topic). As such, they shouldn't be used for chain scales at all, but rather as a vague estimate for who is stronger than who prior to the introduction of Ki amps
Current 17 is so much stronger than his Future version that
Trunks straight up can't fight him despite being able to do so against the future versions. Current 17 is
notable for his speed, and
can blitz Trunks. Realistically, 17 is probably >530,000x faster than Raditz Arc Goku.
Conclusively, I will grant you that Super C17 is faster than BOZ Goku though thanks to a
proper explanation unlike getting shit like "It's sooo obvious dude" from asking, but this
should be from feats shown, instead of unreliable multiplier ratios as a "blitz tier".
Now anyone who knows DB scaling won't be impressed with the text I sent above. Why? Because it's literally all in the speed blog already. The fact 17 is thousands of times faster than Beginning of Z Goku is already a necessity for the story. That's what's LITERALLY established.
Established =/= irrefutable, for the record.
