It actually comes from the guides that are used, and everything in the guide is considered canon by the guide.
it comes from the guides, but it is only accepted because it is consistent with the main cannon, if it wasn't consistent or if it didn't had evidence for it, we wouldn't have used it

Akira Toriyama says in an interview that the multiplier is 50x, but he feels like its more of a 10x boost rather than 50. While the last bit is irrelevant, this doesn’t necessarily make the guidebooks more reliable. As stated previously, for the same reason we don’t use ssj2 2x multiplier and ssj3 4x.

Could you show this interview? Especially because it's in the same guides we use, where there are several interviews with Akira toriyama.
 
episode 28 of dbs
episode 55 of dbs
episode 41 of dbs



what is your proof for this?

Episode 28: I've checked, and this was only Whis explaining to Goku & Vegeta that universes come in pairs. The following cinematic is purely to accentuate that, hence why the balls are colored in pairs
Episode 55: There is no mention of those balls representing the Universes, and there is only 6 of them in total which further shows that they don't represent the Universes
Episode 41: What's the evidence of that being situated inbetween Macrocosms? I've looked through the episode, and haven't found any.
 
there is nothing to say that they would be visible in the first place, the only thing that would suggest that they would is the macrocosm map and the guides, which isn't a good counter since what it is shown in the main cannon always takes priority over secondary cannon like the guides, so they not appearing is not a counter argument since they have no stated size whatsoever in the main canon of dbs, and things like guides are only secondary cannon with anything of the main cannon taking priority over it
Yes, the guides and databooks are secondary canon, but treating any information coming from them as headcanon by default unless all of them have been directly stated/show in main canon its bonkers.

Just because King Kai never stated how much big its the Other World is doesn't automatically disgregate all the info about the realm to be universal in size.

That a ridiculous standard, as long there is no direct contradiction the information from guides and databooks are fair to be use as evidence, and if there is some inconsistencies then it still doesn't mean that the rest of the info must be now wrong.

even if you want to hard take the dimensions as needing to be visible however, we can clearly see multiple massive cosmic like objects in the map, so to say that some of them are the other dimensions is not too far fetched of an assumption, specially when we know that we are seeing the universe
Those do not looks like separated dimensions at all, they looks more like large nebulas or dwarf galaxies within the map, and this assumption is baseless as nothing indicate that those are suppost to rappresent separated dimensions.

If we trully must assume that those visuals are suppost to be fully accurate on scale descriptions that are meant completely retcon the original structure given to Universe 7 (even thought the DBS Manga show the same structure still exist), then we have to say that Other World and Kaioshin Realm are no longer part of Universe 7 (like with ROSAT) and that universes are only 3-C in size.

Yeah, i completely disagree with the CRT.

The argument is whether the map is truly to scale. When super shenron transforms we visibly see the two universes.
 
Did you miss the point of the op?
Could you show this interview? Especially because it's in the same guides we use, where there are several interviews with Akira toriyama.
Only, at the time, it was considered that his strength would increase 50-fold when he became a Super Saiyan, but that was a bit of an exaggeration. My feeling as the creator is that, while drawing it, I felt that it was about a 10-fold change from what it was up to that point.
That’s the quote, I’ll find the interview when i have time

and he did that by showing the said universes

the balls are consistent with the earlier showing made by whis and the one showed earlier in episode 41

Episode 41: What's the evidence of that being situated inbetween Macrocosms? I've looked through the episode, and haven't found any.
it is located in the "neutral space" between universe 7 and 6, stated in episode 29 of dbs, can't find an clip in english to send unfortunately
 
I want both of the moderators that have accepted the proposal to reveal what they think should be the way to calculate feats going forwards, because this isn't something so small to just take away without understanding what would come after it and filling it's vacuum.
the balls are consistent with the earlier showing made by whis and the one showed earlier in episode 41
How do you explain there only being 6 balls in the anime, then? Not to mention that the point falls before reaching to this point, as put in context Whis is only visualising Universes being in pairs, the Kaioshin Realm failing to be outside of them, and these universes all being seemingly identical not being possible
 
Not going to nobody has made shit arguments but where exactly do anyone of you explain why the map is to scale? That’s one of the Ops main point.
OP hasn't exactly given an alternative if the map wasn't to scale, either. If this goes through without that being established in the first place, there'll be an unbelievably huge vacuum needing to be filled in the wiki, and the fact that neither of the two moderators in agreement have addressed this is pretty irresponsible.

No, I don't think I will. The OP already gave alternative means of calculating Universe feats:
Proposal for the anime: simply use the images we have of the universe showed in the anime alongside the basic assumption of the observable universe, and make estimates for the sizes of the other dimensions based on what we know of them, which is that we at least know that they have a star in them

Proposal for the db manga: i guess we can only use the basic observable universe assumption and go on from there, but i believe the logic for the other dimensions proposed above could be used as well

when did i ever said something like that?

Just because King Kai never stated how much big its the Other World is doesn't automatically disgregate all the info about the realm to be universal in size.
i never even mentioned king kai in the op, we don't accept such statements here nowdays, and strictly use the macrocosm map to calc their sizes and distances, which is what the op is removing

That a ridiculous standard, as long there is no direct contradiction the information from guides and databooks are fair to be use as evidence, and if there is some inconsistencies then it still doesn't mean that the rest of the info must be now wrong.
in this case there is, the macrocosm map is contradicted size wise by the series

Those do not looks like separated dimensions at all, they looks more like large nebulas or dwarf galaxies within the map, and this assumption is baseless as nothing indicate that those are suppost to rappresent separated dimensions.
hence why that is only a possibility in the op, since the main point is that there is no reason to assume that they would be visible in the first place, besides we don't know what they would look like, so we can't say that they wouldn't look like that

If we trully must assume that those visuals are suppost to be fully accurate on scale descriptions that are meant completely retcon the original structure given to Universe 7 (even thought the DBS Manga show the same structure still exist)
just a reminder that the map suggested for the dbs anime is not being proposed to be used for the manga

, then we have to say that Other World and Kaioshin Realm are no longer part of Universe 7 (like with ROSAT) and that universes are only 3-C in size.
what are you talking about? besides the fact that we see more than one galaxy in the visual, we also have no showing or statement of that being a single galaxy, we are seeing the universe, all we see is a massive center being orbited by numerous glowy points

Yeah, i completely disagree with the CRT.
even with the other points about how the macrocosm map in not in scale size wise?
 
OP hasn't exactly given an alternative if the map wasn't to scale, either. If this goes through without that being established in the first place, there'll be an unbelievably huge vacuum needing to be filled in the wiki, and the fact that neither of the two moderators in agreement have addressed this is pretty irresponsible.
I also think, we should disregard any agreement with the two administrators, in every DB topic they only appear to demote the verse and then disappear like a ghost

Excuse me, but no alternative is actually required.

I'm very glad that it is not up to you then.
 
I want you to make it clear that you believe in completely disregarding the guidebook statements, if not explicitly presented in the show itself.
What? No. I'm pretty sure I've never said that.

I also think, we should disregard any agreement with the two administrators, in every DB topic they only appear to demote the verse and then disappear like a ghost
🤨
 
With nothing but pretty ambiguous visuals to go by, more likely than not it's proposed viewer interpretations of said visuals that're inconsistent rather than the actual author himself's words.
that is why the point 2 in the op exists, even without the dbs map, the current one used in the calcs is still not reliable to use for calculations since it isn't in scale in size

How do you explain there only being 6 balls in the anime, then?
show me when we are shown to only have 6 balls, which episode are you talking about? besides the super shenron showing is the most clear one and has no excuse

Not to mention that the point falls before reaching to this point, as put in context Whis is only visualising Universes being in pairs
by showing the said universes

, the Kaioshin Realm failing to be outside of them
ouside of secondary cannon guides, is there any reason to assume that they would be outside? if it contradicts the guides we simply discard the said guide's statement since it is contradicted by the main cannon

, and these universes all being seemingly identical not being possible
why not?

yes i have
see the "proposals" part in the end

I want you to make it clear that you believe in completely disregarding the guidebook statements, if not explicitly presented in the show itself.
that is not the point in the op tho
 
Great!


Here's a Dragon Ball Super guidebook that shows the same U7 map.
It has not been retconned. What's left now?

1 see point 2 in the op, even using the guides a recalc would need to be done

2 it is again, a guide, which is secondary the main cannon and as such, if it contradicts it, then it will not be used

Does it show contradicting itself? You just talk my friend and never show anything, we can show hundreds of proofs in your face and you're like, like I said earlier, that's just the Universe alive observed, it is nothing more than that, it is not the whole macrocosm.
 
Great!

2: the map is clearly not in scale, and you can clearly see the map makes the snake way, which is only 1.000.000 km long, is seemingly 2x the universe in height if put in a horizontal position, also king kai's planet, which is extremely small, is via this map only 14.25x smaller than the entire living universe, so even in the manga, it shouldn't be used to calc since it is clearly out of scale in size.

What contradict the macrocosm map? Aside for the visuals used in DBS, which i already stated why its a bad idea.

The same structure was show in DBS Manga for crying out loud, the canon series with its loosely based on Toriyama's vision and nobody else (aside for Toyotaro).

what are you talking about? besides the fact that we see more than one galaxy in the visual
The way the universes are show make them seen to have just single large galaxy with a few large nebulas/dwarf galaxies orbiting around the main body.

I don't see how that can be interpreted in any different way.
 
It’s pretty clear that the orbs are a representation of the universe tho, so based on that, it could be assumed it’s just depicted as a large spiral galaxy, but still a universe. I believe sttgl and ss do this
