Super Saiyan Goku was half-universal when clashing with Beerus
Goku has grown at least 100× more powerful since the fight with Beerus
To summarise; the Tournament of Power Arc-incarnation of Goku scales to the Tournament of Power Arc-incarnation of Caulifla, who scales to the Universe 6 Arc-incarnation of Cabba, who scales to the Universe 6 Arc-incarnation of Vegeta, who scales to the Universe 6 Arc-incarnation of Goku.
Tournament of Power Base Goku>Tournament of Power SSj2 Caulifla=2├ùTournament of Power SSj CauliflaÔëÑ50├ù(Tournament of Power Base CauliflaÔëÑUniverse 6 Tournament Base Cabba=Universe 6 Tournament Base Vegeta=Universe 6 Tournament Base Goku>100├ù(Battle with Beerus Goku))
This fits with his going from needing the Kaioken├ù10 to fight Hit[2] to being able to draw with a more powerful Hit without it, his going from being weaker in his Super Saiyan Blue form than Golden Frieza to matching a more powerful Golden Frieza with it, and Vegeta's going from being outclassed by Base Black to stomping Rosé Black.
Super Saiyan God is at least 4× more powerful than Super Saiya
While Goku's present gap between SSj and SSj2 is unclear, SSj is yet to surpass SSj2, and SSj3 is 4├ù more powerful than SSj2. It follows that SSj3 is at least 4├ù more powerful than SSj. SSjG―being more powerful than any of these forms―is also at least 4├ù more powerful than SSj Goku.
Super Saiyan Blue is at least 50× more powerful than Super Saiyan God
SSjB Goku=SSj Kefla=50×(Base Kefla>SSjG Goku)
Scaling Goku's forms to SSj Kefla and Base Kefla means SSjB can be lowballed to 50× SSjG, which makes sense, as it's SSj and SSjG overlapping, and the SSj multiplier is at least 50×.
Kaioken×20 is a 20× increase in power
The Kaioken multiplies Goku's stats (ki, power, speed, etc.) by it's multiplication modifier[2][3].
Goku can use the KK×20 as a SSjB.
Ultra Instinct Omen is at least a 1.05× increase in power
UIO Goku=SSjB KK├ù20 Goku+(SSjBS VegetaÔëÑSSjB Goku)
Yes, Roshi states that Kefla could kill UIO Goku with an attack, after she states that she feels like she can blow away a universe, but:
Mastered Ultra Instinct's power is too vague to quantify.

Speed
SSjB Goku might be FTL with the Kaioke
UIO Goku scales to Gohan, who scales to Dyspo, who is FTL
Goku might be FTL depending on how fast one scales certain feats
Notably, multipliers like 100% Frieza being 40├ù faster than Base Goku would stack with their successors to potentially reach FTL with exponential growth. Going through the entirety of Dragon Ball and giving speed the scaling treatment the series' lack of hard feats necessitates, relative to Piccolo and Roshi's moon-blasts―and perhaps a few other such attacks, is something that I'd very much like to do at some point.

Super Saiyan Goku was half-universal when clashing with Beerus
- Beerus and Super Saiyan God Goku clashed with a universe-endangering force four times[2][3][4] Three times they endanger the universe through shockwaves, and once through ki. It's made clear that they could have destroyed the universe and that it's lucky they didn't clash properly agai[2][3][4][5]. SSj Goku achieves SSjG Goku's power during this fight, applying all feats from the fight to the older form.
- Yes, there's a case to be made for the shockwave feats not being strictly half-universal as they take a fair amount of time to execute (at least from Goku's superfast perspective), but the singular ki clash is absolutely half-universal.
- Yes, the first three clashes' shockwaves became more destructive as they went further from the source, but it's only stated that the wave's destructive power increases over distance. Either the waves are creating power out of thin air, or the waves had that power from the start, and have become more destructive as they go out of control. Even if that wasn't the case, the fourth clash would have destroyed the universe without shockwaves if Beerus hadn't nullified the energy.
- Yes, Frieza flaunted a planet-busting attack, but that power is clearly insignificant at the current tier of Dragon Ball, and Frieza is unreliable, consistently hyping himself up then getting stomped. For instance:
- Deciding to attack the legendary Super Saiyan after being cut to pieces, then getting blasted for it
- Thinking his mechanical upgrades would let him defeat Goku, and then getting stomped by Trunks (Who was at best as strong as Goku)
- Deciding he could get his revenge on Goku and Trunks as soon as he got his Golden Form, without properly training it, and then running out of energy and getting stomped by Goku and Vegeta
- Telling Dyspo that his power would never match his own, then being wrecked by Dyspo
- Trying to tank GoD Toppo's hakai―with one hand, no less―then nearly being killed by it
- Trying to attack Jiren after he'd stomped Goku, Vegeta and Android #17, and then being stomped
- Yes, Goku does not threaten the universe after this point, but Goku learns to cancel out this dangerous collateral mid-fight. Not only his own, but his opponents too[2]. It doesn't matter if who he fights doesn't try to limit collateral.
- As for the fights on this scale that don't involve Goku:
- All Tournament of Power fights take place in the World of Void to avoid collateral
- Beerus Vs. Champa actually does threaten universes as collateral, consistently, whenever they fight[2][3][4][5]
- Vegeta Vs. Hit
- Ends without any proper clashing
- Hit is highly skilled and grows more so
- Hit's power isn't as large as it becomes when he fights Goku
- Vegeta is himself an expert fighter, has trained alongside Goku and personally watched Goku develop the technique to cancel out collateral
- Vegeta was worn out from other fights
- Vegeta/Future Trunks Vs. BlackFused Zamasu
- Black/Fused Zamasu learn Goku's techniques from Goku's body, is a fighting-genius, and wants to perfect Earth by eradicating mortals without destroying it
- Vegeta is himself an expert fighter, has trained alongside Goku and personally watched Goku develop the technique to cancel out collateral
- Vegeta/Future Trunks Vs. Universe Zamasu:
- Zamasu is the universe and of unknown durability
- Vegeta is himself an expert fighter, has trained alongside Goku and personally watched Goku develop the technique to cancel out collateral
- As for the fights on this scale that don't involve Goku:
Goku has grown at least 100× more powerful since the fight with Beerus
- The Tournament of Power Arc-incarnation of Goku is 100× more powerful than Caulifla, in their Base forms, as, even tired, he's able to fight her Super Saiyan 2 form in his Base form, and SSj2 is a 2×multiplier over SSj. SSj is at least 50× more powerful than Base according to the Daizenshu, Super Exciting Guide, and an interview with Akira Toriyama, writer of Dragon Ball[B]. It's also a greater than 40× boost by feats, as KK×20 Goku is less powerful than 50% Frieza but SSj Goku fights at least on par with 100% Frieza.
- Yes, Toriyama mentions SSj having felt like a 10× multiplier, but he makes clear that he merely feels that he used to feelthat, and that the 50× multiplier is canonical.
- (While it's true that SSj2 Goku fights SSj2 Caulifla at an earlier point, Goku's conversation with Beerus makes clear that he isn't taking things seriously, and he appears to assume SSj2 as a way of teaching by example.
- Caulifla is more powerful than the Universe 6 Tournament Arc-incarnation of Cabba was, given that her power as a SSj exceeds what he considers normal for a first time, his only frame of reference for SSj first times is his own, and his SSj first time was during the Universe 6 Tournament Arc. Caulifla and Cabba also seem to feel that she could defeat him.
- The Universe 6 Tournament Arc-incarnations of Base Vegeta and Base Cabba are on par.
- While it's true that SSj Vegeta no-sells a punch to the face from SSj Cabba, that's after Cabba has, for a while, pushed him back, and is presumably the result of Vegeta having a better mastery of the form than Cabba. Cabba and author Toriyama[B] have both expressed that SSj can improve over time, and we've already seen the drain Cabba speaks of overcome by Goku and Gohan during the Cell Saga when they trained in the Room of Spirit and Time, with Vegeta presumably have improved his own SSj form in the many years he's had to train.
- The Universe 6 Tournament Arc-incarnations of Vegeta and Goku are also on par, given that they are pretty evenly matched in combat, are almost implausibly neck-and-neck with their training[2][3], and have their power compared to the same tree, simultaneously.
To summarise; the Tournament of Power Arc-incarnation of Goku scales to the Tournament of Power Arc-incarnation of Caulifla, who scales to the Universe 6 Arc-incarnation of Cabba, who scales to the Universe 6 Arc-incarnation of Vegeta, who scales to the Universe 6 Arc-incarnation of Goku.
Tournament of Power Base Goku>Tournament of Power SSj2 Caulifla=2├ùTournament of Power SSj CauliflaÔëÑ50├ù(Tournament of Power Base CauliflaÔëÑUniverse 6 Tournament Base Cabba=Universe 6 Tournament Base Vegeta=Universe 6 Tournament Base Goku>100├ù(Battle with Beerus Goku))
This fits with his going from needing the Kaioken├ù10 to fight Hit[2] to being able to draw with a more powerful Hit without it, his going from being weaker in his Super Saiyan Blue form than Golden Frieza to matching a more powerful Golden Frieza with it, and Vegeta's going from being outclassed by Base Black to stomping Rosé Black.
Super Saiyan God is at least 4× more powerful than Super Saiya
While Goku's present gap between SSj and SSj2 is unclear, SSj is yet to surpass SSj2, and SSj3 is 4├ù more powerful than SSj2. It follows that SSj3 is at least 4├ù more powerful than SSj. SSjG―being more powerful than any of these forms―is also at least 4├ù more powerful than SSj Goku.
Super Saiyan Blue is at least 50× more powerful than Super Saiyan God
- SSj Kefla can be lowballed to 50× Base Kefla, as SSj is at least 50× more powerful than Base according to the Daizenshu, Super Exciting Guide, and an interview with Akira Toriyama, writer of Dragon Ball[B]. It's also a greater than 40× boost by feats, as KK×20 Goku is less powerful than 50% Frieza but SSj Goku fights at least on par with 100% Frieza.
- Yes, Toriyama mentions SSj having felt like a 10× multiplier, but he makes clear that he merely feels that he used to feelthat, and that the 50× multiplier is canonical.
- Yes, Kefla's SSj2 isn't the usual SSj2 because Kale's unique SSj power alters it, but that should make it stronger, not weaker.
- Base Kefla was more powerful than SSjG Goku while Super Saiyan Blue Goku was equal to a Super Saiyan Kefla.
- Yes, Goku later needs to use SSjB KK against SSj Kefla, but she was constantly growing more powerful.
SSjB Goku=SSj Kefla=50×(Base Kefla>SSjG Goku)
Scaling Goku's forms to SSj Kefla and Base Kefla means SSjB can be lowballed to 50× SSjG, which makes sense, as it's SSj and SSjG overlapping, and the SSj multiplier is at least 50×.
Kaioken×20 is a 20× increase in power
The Kaioken multiplies Goku's stats (ki, power, speed, etc.) by it's multiplication modifier[2][3].
Goku can use the KK×20 as a SSjB.
Ultra Instinct Omen is at least a 1.05× increase in power
- Ultra Instinct Omen Goku does much better against Jiren than Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken×20 Goku, Super Saiyan Blue Shinka Vegeta, and Android #17[2][3]. It's safe to lowball his power to Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken×20 Goku + Super Saiyan Blue Shinka Vegeta. (While it's true that Goku doesn't shout "×20!" when activating his Kaioken against Jiren, Beerus confirms that he's using his full power.
- SSjBS Vegeta overpowers God of Destruction Toppo. GoD Toppo overpowers Golden Frieza in turn. Golden Frieza in on par with SSjB Goku. It's safe to lowball SSjBS Vegeta to SSjB Goku's level.
- Yes, he's probably much more powerful, but his power is vague and we have to lowball it.
- Yes, Android #17 could be considered here too, but his power is difficult to quantify and doesn't directly scale to Goku's.
UIO Goku=SSjB KK├ù20 Goku+(SSjBS VegetaÔëÑSSjB Goku)
Yes, Roshi states that Kefla could kill UIO Goku with an attack, after she states that she feels like she can blow away a universe, but:
- What a character "feels" is very light evidence, what they state they feel even more so.
- Kefla never stated that she was at most universe busting,, only that she could blow away a universe in one shot. Superman could destroy a wall with one attack, but that doesn't mean he's at most wall-busting.
- Kefla powered up between her statement and Roshi's.
- Kefla used a different attack against Goku than the one she felt she could blow away a universe with.)
Mastered Ultra Instinct's power is too vague to quantify.

Speed
SSjB Goku might be FTL with the Kaioke
- Dyspo has surpassed the speed of light. Super Maximum Light Speed Mode Dyspo is a lot faster than Golden Frieza, but semi-blockable. SSjB Goku's speed is about on par with Golden Frieza's and the Kaioken×20 gives a 20× speed boost. Given that the KK×10 alone let Goku go from being on par with Hit, to nearly blitzing him. The KK×10 would, presumably, have much the same effect on Golden Frieza, nevermind the KK×20. That's more than Dyspo achieves. It's nothing concrete, but it's worth noting. Especially since Goku can potentially double his speed again with the Kaioken×20 (though it's been implied that there's a speed cap on anyone not using Ultra Instinct).
- Yes, Goku scales to Dyspo directly, but only his Base form, and as it's never stated which form of his has surpassed the speed of light, scaling to his slower form is unquantifiable.
UIO Goku scales to Gohan, who scales to Dyspo, who is FTL
- Gohan wasn't massively slower than Dyspo even in his Super Maximum Light Speed Mode and was able to fight him pretty well in melee but couldn't even sense UIO Goku moving to attack.
- Yes, Dypso's movements were limited, but only insofar as he was trapped in a small area, and thus unable to strafe as he had been doing. He was still FTL.
Goku might be FTL depending on how fast one scales certain feats
- Dragon Ball's moon is at least 380,000,000m from Earth, presumably the ~384,400,000m of real-life. Both Roshi and Piccolo hit the moon in a short period of time, and then light is able to travel back from the moon to Earth to show it glowing and/or being destroyed. Lowballing these attacks to an hour each would mean the blasts travel at ~106,777.778m/s, or 0.00035617232×lightspeed.
- Nappa is able to dodge Piccolo's ki blasts from quite close. Notably, Piccolo uses the Special Beam Cannon, which ought to be faster than the attack with which he destroyed the moon, though unquantifiably so.
- Base Goku makes a mockery of Nappa's speed.
- Frieza is able to make a mockery of Goku's speed when he's only at 50% power and Goku is multiplying his power by 10, suggesting Frieza is at least 40× faster than Base Goku. He's also, when at presumably less than 50% power, FTE to Piccolo, and able to easily dodge his ki attack.
Notably, multipliers like 100% Frieza being 40├ù faster than Base Goku would stack with their successors to potentially reach FTL with exponential growth. Going through the entirety of Dragon Ball and giving speed the scaling treatment the series' lack of hard feats necessitates, relative to Piccolo and Roshi's moon-blasts―and perhaps a few other such attacks, is something that I'd very much like to do at some point.
