While this thread has complained about DB team on research, another fact is that DB fans themselves are biased as shit.
Under normal circumstances questioning lore Kratos and thinking Asura wins is respectable. But so many others get a free pass on lore and ignoring anti-feats. Capeshit is absolutely not consistently Outerversal, and Marvel editorial themselves said DB's stats are bad. But basically no one wants to talk about that. Instead uh oh Ian Flynn questioned giving Archie Silver everything, guess that confirms Heroes Trunks wins.
DB Fans have favorites, and Kratos is not one of them. This is why Jaffe, who no longer works at GoW, is given validity saying "Spider-Man gapes Kratos". And then favorites are given massive benefit of doubt, like how Asura or even Kirby doesnt have direct universal feats either.
I will absolutely continue roasting DB Reddit once AshYugi comes and Universal Ash is said to be ok despite that being less justified than Kratos.
