Goku throttled Nappa with only a few time difference via basic Kaioken.
Went from stronger but still comparable, to whipping out a 2x multiplier and crippling him.
DBZ just has one shots and stomps with negligible to a few times difference at worst.

On that note, Vegeta (who was also suppressed at the time) was well under 3x Goku/full power Nappa when he one-shot Nappa.
And it's implied suppressed Vegeta could have heavily injured Kaioken x2 Goku with a single blast if he didn't make it easier to dodge.

Here’s what I would have proposed, a minimum limit for the multiplier for one shotting, perhaps 2 times would be fine enough. In the case where it’s proven that a verse has a different one shot threshold then for that verse only the standard wouldn’t apply. But just because there’s verses with an incredibly low or high multiplier, doesn’t mean we should just screw over scaling chains in the verses without an established one shot threshold, ultimately there’s no reason for us to not have a “default” multiplier assumption for when there is a lack of info. Especially considering that if there ever was a lack of one shot requirements in that verse, it would also mean the multiplier wouldn’t be inconsistent with anything either.
If the site aims to be as accurate as possible, then we should start with not having Jotaro scaling chains occur (for lack of a better term, since it’s insane how he was like 1.1 times away from the upscale value and has an absolutely massive scaling chain lol) and just go with some kind of bare minimum 2x or so multiplier for AP stomps happening, which would at least be closer to accurate than characters with insane scaling amounting to nothing.
Well this is fair. Dragon ball is just one of thousands and thousands of verses though.
This is a generalization, but I sorta agree that this can be true often. Regardless I stand by what I said above.

I still say no to a minimum limit for something this insanely arbitrary (as in the thought processes of authors themselves, not your suggestion) and inconsistent in fictional media; it's literally not accurate, and that's the problem. But I'd be lying if I also said I wasn't rooting for it to happen.

I feel as though a compromise can be made if we just keep the multiplier fairly low, or compared it to real life situations, like the amount stronger you'd on average have to be to no sell an someone's full strength attack
here's my logic train, to make it the most fair
while some people would say a one shot should take 7.5 times or something, if we keep the multiplier to something low like x2 or even x1.5 then it reduces how much we downplay characters and also guarantees it's not wank.
Usually when a character scales massively above their value then we know they're way higher but can't really quantify it, maybe a character at 1 billion joules got his value by completely tanking the full force of then and casually one shotting a character who scales above another character, who scales above that 1 billion joules. While some would agree "there's no way this guy isn't like 100 times stronger", I think the safe bet is to keep a small multiplier, so while with the 1.5 it would never reach that 100 times or whatever headcanon value, it would also be significantly closer to what they should be, than what the actual value they scale to is
like, we have point A as the value they get their scaling from, and point B as their value, and point C as what a highball might look like for their scaling chain's value
it would go from being this:
A/B - - - C
to this
A - B - - - - - C
while we would retain what would be a lowball in these situations, we'd at least be getting much closer to what the truth probably is as opposed to just not having it do any amp at all.
what I'm basically saying is, while a multiplier being too high would be very bad, a multiplier being a little too low would keep things in a safe ballpark, while being a minor solution to the issue of scaling chains amounting to nothing, and people having to resort to their own headcanon in vs threads as to if a character who upscales from a value would be able to harm a character who, say, downscales from a significantly higher value (but within the same tier, or at least lower end of a higher tier or whatever)
a less controversial minimal multiplier, is far superior to no multiplier at all. There's my case.

How good Saitama as a fighter, can he defete Bang in a haxless equal stats battle
- 7,889
- 8,836
TBH there's a massive difference between knockout one-shots (wich might just be a skill/speed/the enemy being unaware difference like the anime neck slap) where even irl you can knockout someone stronger than you by landing a hit in the hit place with one punch and instant death oneshots where a character donuts or severely gores the one they killed, like Diavolo putting a hole through other stand users's chests, Saitama one-shot exploding monsters and Goku vaporizing enemies with his Kamehameha damage amp.

Saitama is a very skilled brawler. He would probably beat Bang in a stats equals no hax match.

Saitama was probably an insane martial artist in his earlier training years, since there still existed threats he had to outskill
but until cosmic garou, he had forgotten he had that potential in him, which is why he didn't know he could copy time travel unless garou reminded him of his skill. If saitama had never outclassed the rest of the verse in strength, he'd have continued being a god tier martial artist, even better than garou lol
it lines up, since he also shows some action movie looking style when fighting the subterraneans in his dream.

nanatsu no taizai powerlevels are SHIT.
merlin is the greatest example, being blitzed by Galand and then stomping and having higher reaction speed than the two of the strongest demons without even a major buff, the only excuse for it is that she "forgot who she was" back then.......................
merlin with 4k of powerlevel is stronger than 99% of the verse

Yes, if Saitama is serious.
He casually copied several moves from Garou's God Slaying Fist, a style of fighting which, in terms of raw skill, capabilities, and power amps, dwarfs any style Bang knows into utter insignificance. Saitama has more natural stamina and endurance. Saitama has shown the ability to strategize and use his environment while in combat, though to a limited extent. And he outright learned how to manipulate time just by looking at Garou trying to do it.
Honestly, Bang gets low-diffed even with equal stats.

the same goes for kurama, which is stronger than all bijuus together, i mean, 50% kurama>>>>> 5 bijuus....
why didnt akatsuki capture kurama first with a powerful combo and then uses it to capture the left bijuus?
and she is meant to be just a % of juubis power, and yet she is stronger than all eight bijuus combined oof

Well that makes more sense. The Merlin point is totally valid, but naturally, the plot would avoid the Akatsuki immediately targeting our MC's Tailed-Beast, especially to give Naruto the time to train and grow so he can face them without it seeming contrived. From an in-universe perspective it's weird and makes the Akatsuki look stupid, but from a story perspective I can totally understand it.the same goes for kurama, which is stronger than all bijuus together, i mean, 50% kurama>>>>> 5 bijuus....

Tbh, while I'm perfectly fine with Saitama's new rate of growth, and to some extent his power mimicry, I do feel it's a bit weird to make Saitama also be a genius that can learn insane things with ease. While it sort of makes sense under the context of what the limiter actually defines (it isn't just power, but limitations as a whole, thus, removing it would make Saitama's limit of knowledge also removed), it still just feels weird for Saitama to apparently be the most skilled fighter in existence when he feels like it, especially because a consistent plot point used as a joke is that Saitama isn't very bright or talented. Even ONE himself has said that Saitama'd be terrible in sports because Saitama doesn't know how to play sports.

I recall there being a thing where the Akatsuki were supposed to capture the Bijuu in number order, from the One-Tail to the Nine-Tails, but they kinda just… didn’t do that in canon so I dunno what the deal was.
- 13,903
- 5,404
I think the intended interpretation is that saitama is an incredible guy, but he got so strong that he was never able to express himself any more, so he just comes off as a boring dude
think back to his training and drive to fight monsters, back when he was working insanely hard to become strong. It'd make sense that in that time, he adapted some martial arts skill to become the strongest fighter he could. He used to use effort, but he became laid back since nothing can even be an obstacle to him anymore

Yeah cause the statue would've shat itself from the disorder in power
They most definitely did

Pretty sure they captured Fu before Gaara, unless I’m thinking of non-canon shit.
- 4,792
- 1,114
this theory is totally ******* when you remember that the first bijuus captured were 5 tails and 7 tails.
actually, shukaku was the third one
naruto's verse is nonsense
- 15,416
- 15,769
It’s not a theory, it’s canon, and I literally said that the Akatsuki didn’t actually do it in order
- 4,792
- 1,114
no, they did capture Fuu and Han before.
Deidara mentioned this, when talking to Naruto.
he said that Gaara was the only jinchuriki which friends were there for him and came to rescue after being captured by akatsuki

Not really because Saitama is explicitly stated to have no limit to his growth numerous times. Although you really have to stretch to argue against Garou getting to 3A, for Saitama it's physically impossible to deny that he could reach that level.

well, psykorochi was the only thing availabe atm for GOD.
his true objective there was Tatsumaki, it never was Psykos.
The proof is that he did give his hand for her, he wanted tatsumaki as his avatar.
and honestly, she would've become more badass than Garou
- 4,792
- 1,114
imagine tatsumaki throwing planets and stars at saitama, shaking milkway with her TK, creating black holes with gravity manipulation
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
also, if she is actually upgraded with the new calcs, it would make me even more hyped to think about her GOD'S form. Like, small planet level+ GOD's buff, the powerlevel that she could reach is massive, prob higher than garou's

to be fair most biju except garu naruto bee were known villages others were outlaws apart naruto was protected by jiraya kakashi and several others and even itachi inside akatsuki logically more complicated to get

Even if Saitama has more limit statements that don't mean the same logic for Garou's copying doesn't apply according to the wiki. He didn't reach 3-A or even 3-B therefore he cannot so it's NLF to assume he can.
