Dragon Ball Super Discussion Thread 100

I’m the Saiyan who came all the way from Earth with the sole purpose of beating you. I am the warrior you’ve heard of in legends. Pure of heart and awakened by fury, that’s what I am. I am the Super Saiyan! Son Goku!

So.... This quote is cool and all, but doesn´t Goku have any more quotes that we can put on his profile?
Here's one if it works:

And as a result, I was sent to Earth. I'm grateful that I wound up here. Besides, maybe an outcast can surpass an elite if he puts his mind to it.
 
Off the top of the noggin,
  • Using less than half of his full power, an aged King Piccolo takes Goku's Kamehameha head-on without any damage.
  • During its metamorphosis after absorbing Android 18, Cell tanks a punch from Super Saiyan Trunks. Perfect Cell later withstands Super Vegeta's Lucora Gun and emerges from the resulting dust cloud unscathed.
  • Android 17's Barrier completely nullifies Piccolo's Hellzone Grenade, as does Cell's Barrier with Goku's Continuous Kamehameha.
  • Android 18 blocks Super Saiyan Future Trunks's sword slash with her forearm, nullifying the attack and even damaging the sword's blade. Previously, Future Trunks even nullified King Cold's attempt at downing him with his own sword.

Wait, the Ki Blast spam has an actual name?

There's also Cooler absolutely dunking on Kaioken ×20 Goku and even flying straight through his Kamehameha before having all of his attacks bar Supernova no-sold by Super Saiyan Goku. Try to pull from every continuity to make it as consistent as possible.

You could also use the really absurd examples in the Namek Saga of stomps like Vegeta vs Qui, Dodoria, Zarbon and Recoome.

It’s interesting that they made the Gamma Burst Flash orange in Sparking Zero, considering it was yellow in the Manga.
First - Lucky Salamander. GO BRAZIL

Second - Aren't the colored manga made by the publisher itself? There may be differences in interpretation for the color of the thing (I would use JoJo as an example, but Araki never maintained color consistency for the characters when coloring)

I don't know if you saw it, but SSBE vsi is a boost like a kaioken. Interesting.

Screw Xenoverse 2 and its shitty achievements. Who invented that damn hero colosseum conquest thing? It's a screwed up TP farm.

Kind of offtopic but I headcanon Cooler's 5th Form multiplier being around 30-35x. Base Cooler and Base Goku were shown to be pretty even yet 5th Form clearly stomps X20 and SS1 (X50) stomps 5th Form. So it adds up to me.

Uh, apparently, the original Daizenshuu 7/Chōzenshū 4 text excludes physical attacks entirely, despite previous translations suggesting their inclusion.
 
Does the durability of Dragon Ball characters lower when they are asleep, even though have it on Goku's profile that he killed Gohan Sr. as an Oozaru, we don't see on page how he did it probably making it more likely that Goku stomped Gohan Sr. in his sleep.
Yes it does. Which is why Super Saiyan Goku while relaxing and trying to take a nap got hurt by a rock being lightly tossed at him by Krillin, why Goku in DBS gets near-killed by a regular laser ring and bruised by a bullet. And so on.

Dragon Ball character's DO have naturally superhuman durability though, well some anyways. Goku at the very beginning had no use of Ki but still tanked getting hit by a car and bullets.

Anyways I think it's iffy to scale off-screen events that have vague context. Also I think people underestimate Oozaru. The raw power level increase might be 10x but clearly the actual physical strength is even above that boost. Goku went from wall level to large building level by going Oozaru, that is WAAAAAY more than 10x.

I notice that “Barrier Sorcery,” does note this physical limitation, though. Which means that either, A) (Since they’re catalogued next to each other in the digital document, I presume they are together in the actual Daizenshuu in alphabetical order), the “cut off” for sentences was misread by you, or really in general their proximity caused a mistranslation on your end, or B) Same exact thing, but on the OPPOSITE end/the other guys got it wrong.

Though, I think it’s strange, because they explicitly note “physical attacks like missiles,” which doesn’t just IMPLY it, it’s outright stated. And yet your TL doesn’t include it at all. Implying, if yours is correct, an entire clause/sentence was fabricated?

This seems to be the entirety of the RAWs, if the OCR is working properly. Though, given the possibility it simply isn’t, I’d just default to the scan itself. Either way, curious to see the results.

i think.
 
Hm.
Then, >11.0779159 Zettatons Post-Ultra Divine Water Goku, perhaps?
That places Tien Shinhan Saga Goku (est.) twenty-times higher than MAX Power Roshi from the Tournament Saga.

The explanation implies the only significant boost Goku received between the King Piccolo Saga and the Raditz Saga was from training with Kami and Mr. Popo, which further suggests he either trained very little/not at all, or that he only engaged in light training between the end of DB and Z, unlike Piccolo.
 
Future Gohan and 17 scaling doesn’t make sense, IIRC Trunks was only around Future Gohans level before he traveled to the past
If anything F.17 (2x)> F. Gohan ~ F. Trunks > Mecha Freeza.
 
Before he fought the Androids and was defeated. An unknown period of time passed between then and when he leaves for the past. Furthermore, he is depicted as and explicitly confirmed by supplementary material to possess power comparable to Goku's—Future Gohan was weaker than Goku.
Right, Trunks probably got a Zenkai boost from his ass beating and then probably got a little stronger again from his brief sparring match with Goku due to his Saiyan biology. Honestly I feel like Trunks needs a new key for his History of Trunks self.

That would still leave the issue of F.17 scaling below Mecha Freezas level, If Trunks had grown strong enough to casually defeat someone 2x stronger than 17 he’d have no need for time traveling in the first place or alternatively would have beaten them as soon as he returned to the future.

About F. Gohan he was most likely him referring to post yardrat Goku and in the 3 years before he died, not Namek era Goku pre yardrat training.

Also I wouldn’t take guide statements saying F. Trunks and Goku were comparable, in the manga and their sparring it’s made clear Goku has a substantial advantage over Trunks, he was focusing his ki in one finger and didn’t even take fighting stance to block Trunks’ serious two handed swings.

Edit: Super in both versions reinforces the idea of what a sparring between Goku and Trunks that are evenly matched would look like, their android saga encounter is nothing like that further solidifying Goku was > Tunks at that point.

TL;DR
F.17 >/~ Post Yardrat Goku >Trunks > Mecha Freeza ~ /> Gohan ~ Namek Goku.

Trunk was also holding back, although I do agree Future Gohan was referring to Post-Yadrat Goku.

Although it should be noted that even if Trunks was stronger than a single android, he often has to 1v2 them and especially cause they never tire.

No, Trunks actually says he is going to get serious before they start, and he has a strained expression through all of the panels where he swings at Goku.

Yeah but the basis of this scaling is the 2x raw power = tanking/ nullifying with 0 damage, androids can’t be half as strong as someone Trunks made short work off and prove to be an issue to him afterwards, and even though we don’t see them fighting a lot, on their final encounter both androids were confident 18 alone could kill trunks, meaning that they were either at least on par or outright superior to him individually ( before RoSAT training)
 
Yeah it's at bare minimum stronger then blue evolved even in sign, but it's power does varies and Ultra Instinct adapts to its opponents strength without limit and Ultra Ego grows stronger without limit the more Vegeta's battle spirt grows

Both of their powers depend on their mindset
What you guys think about listing UI and Vegeta in UE have a "varies from higher to Far Higher with Ultra Instinct/Ultra Ego" ratting for their manga counterparts given their power varies depending on their mindset

Why did you reply to me twice?

Ah, right.
I completely forgot about that.

Trunks was only testing Goku's ability; nothing implies that they were competing with all of their strength; that, and concentrating Ki towards a smaller, singular point on the body significantly amplifies its power.

If anything, Goku taking up such a defensive stance only confirms how close Trunks is to Goku.
further solidifying Goku was > Tunks at that point.
Goku can be stronger than Future Trunks and Future Trunks still be stronger than Future Gohan by virtue of his proximity to the former.
TL;DR
F.17 >/~ Post Yardrat Goku >Trunks > Mecha Freeza ~ /> Gohan ~ Namek Goku.
That's fine.
All that means is that the scaling chain gets bumped by another two-fold.

Although, I'm not sure about Gohan scaling to Post-Zenkai Goku. We don't really have any evidence to support that, do we?
