All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

It's a feat that scales to lads around the Buu saga levels, unless you're saying Daima Piccolo is faster than Vegito???
Like do you think they're going to go "Oh yeah the Buu stuff makes sense, you now have to prove that the multiplier stacks make sense for lads weaker than Buu."
No obviously not.
 
Timeframe? "Very quickly" isn't an indicator of much of anything really.
This just tells me you haven't been paying attention if you think I haven't given proof for direct time frames.
Both were rejected by Data for being too vague (which I agree, using both presupposes 3-4 things) + the concept of using Beerus in a statement that didn't account for him during writing is just crazy. Eden's correct in saying that banking on these statements aren't sufficient at all.
They are not rejected since it's still going on. And one staff is saying we can't use Super (the main continuation) which..lol. SomebodyData didn't even actually have a counter for the Buu and Beerus stuff either when they were corrected that Super was the main continuity while Daima wasn't. Then it shifted to, 'Well Beerus didn't exist at the time' which isn't an argument. It's a cop out in place of not having any legit arguments. So you have no point here. Just because you say they aren't sufficient doesn't mean it's true. Especially when no evidence to contradict this has been given.

Dude to keeping up with Kid Super Saiyan Goku and Vegeta? He might as well be. You can say Gomah was holding back until like SS3 Goku. But we don't know how much. Gomah clearly kept getting stronger throughout the fight. Gomah and Piccolo together even stalemated a STRONGER Gomah.
 
We already do scale OG manga stuff with super content in mind ( planet Vegetas destruction)

The ratings only fall apart if we become manga purists.

But would it backscale to DBS Manga since it follows the DBZ Manga? Like... Daima ain't canon to the DBS Manga is it? Maybe i missed some thread or interview or something tho

Shin and Majin Kuu were doing the same despite being leagues weaker than everyone there so ???
Do we think Roshi is = to Gohan lol

Rn they're both treated as canon continuations of the original manga, just alternate continuations.
So if I'm understanding it correctly, the stuff in them applies to the og manga (See Kid Goku's Blessed), but they themselves don't mesh together.
 
Shin and Majin Kuu were doing the same despite being leagues weaker than everyone there so ???
Shin could've gotten stronger. And we don't really know HOW strong Kuu is. He's definitely above Glorio and Shin. But like I said, it's clear Gomah wasn't going full power. To what extent he was holding back? We have no clue.
Do we think Roshi is = to Gohan lol
tagoma2_large.png
No? Because Gohan is directly shown to be stronger than Roshi. You just showed a picture of all of them getting stomped and compared that to Daima explicitly showing characters superiority over others. Which still happens in Daima. We have no reason to believe Kuu would lose to shin. Or maybe he would and I'm just misremembering. For example, Piccolo is apart of the "big 3" which is with Vegeta and Goku in their Super Saiyan states at the least. We don't have the same for Shin really outside of him simply attacking with the others. Are you gonna sit here and believe that Shin would have did just as good as Goku did against Duu? Of course not. That's absurd. Since Glorio, Piccolo, and Shin attack alongside SS4 Daimaku, does that mean they scale? No.
Yeah and Super is so obviously the main one. It's still going on, just on hiatus. And Beerus was first introduced in Z. He also would exist in Daima. So my argument holds up REGARDLESS.
 
Shin could've gotten stronger.
How would he have gotten stronger? He's not a saiyan, he didn't train. There is not a single in-verse mechanic to justify Shin getting stronger.
In fact it's even emphasized that Glorio (One that was apparently holding back) is stronger than ADULT Shin. In no way is Mini Shin comparable to SSJ Goku and Vegeta lol

I also said Kuu because one of his defining features was that he was too weak to scratch Tamagami 1, the lad who was also getting tossed around by Gomah in that fight.
Clearly, Gomah wasn't hitting them all the same level of power, or else Shin and Kuu. Would. Be. Dead.
Piccolo is apart of the "big 3" which is with Vegeta and Goku in their Super Saiyan states at the least.
We know Goku along with Vegeta are the strongest guys around by Daima, the narrator says that outright.
Piccolo at best would be the third strongest, behind a Daima Goku who hasn't unlocked SSJ4 yet and a Daima Vegeta who hasn't unlocked SSJ3 yet.
That's to say weaker than Vegito. Like going by our ratings rn that's weaker than Vegito.
 
Do you want us to go into the story and cite every time a character blitzes another until we get to 17, just because you can't buy it?
Yes if you want to prove 17 being faster than BOZ Goku since it's self-evident apparently, no if you want to prove he is a gazillion times faster because that's calc stacking. Hencewhy there was an independent feat requested for him
 
How would he have gotten stronger? He's not a saiyan, he didn't train.
Did Shin tell you that? Cool. Also, I didn't know you had to be a Saiyan to get stronger. Interesting.
There is not a single in-verse mechanic to justify Shin getting stronger.
Feats. Took a bunch of hits from a more powerful enemy than he has ever face, and kept up with characters stronger than one's he was afraid of previously.
In fact it's even emphasized that Glorio (One that was apparently holding back) is stronger than ADULT Shin. In no way is Mini Shin comparable to SSJ Goku and Vegeta lol
Obviously Shin is stronger than Glorio. That's why he told Goku to go all out to see what he was made of in case they needed to slam him. At that point, Shin was suspicious of Glorio's loyalty. In terms of durability which equals AP, they are both able to take around the same amount of Damage. And also, we don't know how much stronger Shin is than Glorio. He could just be vaguely stronger.
I also said Kuu because one of his defining features was that he was too weak to scratch Tamagami 1,
Tamagami 1, the strongest one. Not even an Anti-Feat.
the lad who was also getting tossed around by Gomah in that fight.
Everyone was getting tossed by Gomah.
Clearly, Gomah wasn't hitting them all the same level of power, or else Shin and Kuu. Would. Be. Dead.
Or he was and they just weren't enough to kill right away. He can be holding back and still dishing out extremely powerful attacks. Both can be true.
We know Goku along with Vegeta are the strongest guys around by Daima, the narrator says that outright.
Piccolo at best would be the third strongest, behind a Daima Goku who hasn't unlocked SSJ4 yet and a Daima Vegeta who hasn't unlocked SSJ3 yet.
Vegeta had Super Saiyan 3 unlocked. Bulma literally said he's been training ever since the Buu Saga. He had it the entire time. He simply didn't use it until he absolutely needed to.
That's to say weaker than Vegito. Like going by our ratings rn that's weaker than Vegito.
Yeah which might not be entirely right. It all depends on how much Gomah was holding back here.
 
Buu and Cell stuff dont even need to be combat speed either for the record because the statements are giga vague. Also if you mean Gohan reacting to Cell's laser then it's calc stacking
what about the laser stuff in Dr. Gero's profile
at least FTL+, possibly Massively FTL+ combat speed (Should be comparable to base Goku in the Android Saga, with he and Tien only narrowly dodging his lasers),
 
Buu being stated to be capable of destroying the universe like 10 times. We have actual time frames that acan be used for him to actually do something like this. Such Elder Kai's life span, Goku's life span, and Beerus' awakening according to the Kai's
Shouldn't the time be less than 30 minutes? I mean, Elder Kai says it when it's Buutenks
 
It’d be a start.
Sigh.

FINE. Currently we accept that, outside of edge cases, power and speed increase proportionally.

Accept that: 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? :)


All these multipliers have to be true for the story to FUNCTION.

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.
Yes if you want to prove 17 being faster than BOZ Goku since it's self-evident apparently, no if you want to prove he is a gazillion times faster because that's calc stacking. Hencewhy there was an independent feat requested for him

Enough for you? Literally why are you debating about a verse you know NOTHING about?
 
Do you guys think the calculated ship speeds shown in this blog can be used for combat speed?
Literally what I proposed some pages ago, the current calc for DBZ Toei speed scaling of Goku dodging rocks while riding his space ship, uses distance to Andromeda Galaxy by assuming the north galaxy is a mere galaxy, that the outside of it from earth (in this case namek) is merely the distance to the nearest galaxy (Andromeda Galaxy)

Not only the galaxy quadrants are actually multiple (countless) of galaxies, but even would be infinite in size by being a part of the infinite universe

I'm gonna make the CRT about it tomorrow, either propose those high ends of namek being a billions of lightyears away from earth, or the fact that infinite speed may be possible (problematic scaling tho)

The problem with High End is that the map is not to scale, And I'm talking about manga.
 
After training in the other world, Goku canonically got 20x stronger. I can pretend this isn't a story-relevant power increase, but I won't. Current Goku is canonically 20x faster than his Raditz Arc self.
Can add the stuff about the Z-fighters all training and becoming faster/stronger than Raditz in the 1 year timeskip, then all getting decimated by Nappa who himself got humiliated by Goku's speed when he arrives.
During Namek, Goku has a power level of 90000. We don't have any evidence that the gap between 32000 to 90000 is canonically linear, but the story does say his strength increased 10-fold. This power level is canonical, so the story considers this Goku as 200x faster than his Raditz Arc self.
And how this Goku was even blitzing Burter who was so fast the Namek crew couldn't even see him arrive on the scene.
Of course, Goku, with his power level of 3 million, is at least that fast as well. 4000x, approximately.
This section of the arc also made a point of how no one besides Vegeta could react to Suppressed Final Form Frieza's death beams, just being a flash of light to them, and then Goku appears and swats a dozen of them away lol

True
And how this Goku was even blitzing Burter who was so fast the Namek crew couldn't even see him arrive on the scene.
The Namek Crew is slower than Kaioken x4 Goku, this isn't really relevant, unfortunately.
This section of the arc also made a point of how no one besides Vegeta could react to Suppressed Final Form Frieza's death beams, just being a flash of light to them, and then Goku appears and swats a dozen of them away lol
Could add another 1.33x multiplier to Zenkai Goku then.
 
True

The Namek Crew is slower than Kaioken x4 Goku, this isn't really relevant, unfortunately.

Could add another 1.33x multiplier to Zenkai Goku then.
Shouldn't Goku be twice the faster and stronger than Burter/Jeece?, I mean, each one is comparable, and Goku was able to fight both of them
 
Shouldn't Goku be twice the faster and stronger than Burter/Jeece?, I mean, each one is comparable, and Goku was able to fight both of them
Goku is more than twice as fast as these two. That's already established just by being 10x faster than his Saiyan Saga self
 
The problem with High End is that the map is not to scale, And I'm talking about manga.
It probably would be calc stacking using the calc of a spaceship to a character reacting to the speed of another spaceship later on in the series, even if it's likely the general spaceships of freezas empire are around the same


Even if the universe map isnt to literally scale, it does shows the earth and namek are a considerably far away from each other, supporting that they would be billions of lightyears away

Rn they're both treated as canon continuations of the original manga, just alternate continuations.
So if I'm understanding it correctly, the stuff in them applies to the og manga (See Kid Goku's Blessed), but they themselves don't mesh together.
But like, we have only ONE Manga DBZ Profile... which continuity would we base THAT profile off? Daima or Super? Can't use both
 
Hey, everybody here knows Battle Power is Ki, right? Like the unit which Scouters read is a numerical measurement of the size of one's Ki. And only Ki.
 
Literally why are you debating about a verse you know NOTHING about?
Hah okay, whatever you say man (y)
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.
