Dragon Ball Z 5-B Revision

6,632
6,816
Before I start the revision I must clarify that this revision will not remove 5-B from the DB profiles or upgrade them into another tier, this is just made with the purpose to finally clearly define the AP of the 5-B characters and maybe upgrade them, but that's it. This all started back in the summer of this year when we I found out that supposedly all of the 5-B characters simply scaled to or upscale from Piccolo's Beginning of Z 69.69 Zettaton feat and have no higher ap, and I believe that is wrong. Now I might be misinformed and am probably making assumptions about the characters ap, but I'm still gonna make this revision. One last thing before I start, this will only be using three things: Kaio-Ken multipliers, Power Levels (only for scaling purposes), and possibly Oozaru. Now then, let us begin.

Kaio-Ken is accepted in this site as a clear multiplier, so we shall be using that for the beginning. Post-King Kai Training Goku obviously scales above Piccolo's 69.69 Zettaton feat based on the simple fact of being immensely stronger than a character (Raditz), who basically stomps BoZ Piccolo. So now we simply take Goku's ap and multiply it with the different Kaio-Ken multipliers. Post-King Kai Goku:

Base= 69.69 Zettatons

Kaio-Ken= 139.38

Kaio-Ken x3= 209.07

Kaio-Ken x4= 278.76

This is simple enough, but one thing that should also be noted is that Kaio-Ken also multiplies one's power level. We know that Post-KK Training Goku has a Power Level above 8000, but for simplicities sake we shall assume he has a Power Level of 8000. So now we multiply his PL based on the Kaio-Ken multiplier: 8000x2= 16,000, 8000x3= 24,000, and 8000x4= 32,000.

So basically the scaling would go like this:

PL of 16,000-23,999= 139.38 Zettatons

PL of 24,000-31,999= 209.07 Zettatons

PL of 32,000 and onwards= 278.76 Zettatons

Vegeta has a Power Level of 18,000 during the Saiyan Saga and could overcome Kaio-Ken Goku, so he would scale to 139.38 Zettatons. The reason why this matters to the revision is because of the Oozaru state. Zamasu told me that we treat Oozaru as a x10 multiplier, whether this is right or wrong can simply be debated in the thread. In the DB wiki (which may be wrong so take it with a grain of salt) it is stated that the Oozaru state also multiplies the user's Power Level by 10 times, so that means Oozaru Vegeta has a PL of 180,000 and an ap of 1,393.8 Zettatons, or 5-B+. There is also another character who also has a PL of 180,000, and that's Kaio-Ken Pre-Zenkai Goku so he would also scale to 1,393.8 Zettatons. Since Goku used Kaio-Ken to achieve that PL, that means his Base form PL and ap is half of that, so 90,000 and 696.9 Zettatons. So now the scaling would go like this:

PL of 16,000-23,999= 139.38 Zettatons

PL of 24,000-31,999= 209.07 Zettatons

PL of 32,000-89,999= 278.76 Zettatons

PL of 90,000-179,999= 696.9 Zettatons

PL of 180,000 and onwards= 1,393.8 Zettatons

Now if the Oozaru isn't accepted to be a 10 times multiplier, then we can still rely on the Kaio-Ken to get the ap of the characters. So the Oozaru excluded PL Scaling would go like this:

PL of 16,000-23,999= 139.38 Zettatons

PL of 24,000-31,999= 209.07 Zettatons

PL of 32,000-179,999= 278.76 Zettatons

PL of 180,000 and onwards= 557.52 Zettatons

Sorry if this seems Low-Quality, I'm not used to making threads and let's please try to be civil about this.

Oozaru is an accepted multiplier as far as i know.
If that's the case, then we can probably use the Oozaru PL scale then, but I shall wait for what everyone else has to say.
 
Power levels are not linear but the Oozaru Multiplier is indeed accepted. I wonder why it wasn't already applied.
 
I'm aware that PL's aren't linear, that's why I'm only using them for scaling purposes.
 
Question though.

This is literally just the same as saying X character comparable to Kaioken x whatever Goku, just using the powerlevel Numbers instead of saying.

Anyone comparable to KKx2 Goku is 139.38 Zettatons.

We use PLs to know who's stronger than A vs B, so we can use them in a scaling chain. Anyone stronger than 16K and weaker than 24K are by definition stronger than KKx2 Goku and weaker than KKx3 Goku. Just think of it like that.
 
That would be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.1488c as explained in the blog.
 
But if 1st Frieza = 1.1488c < 2nd Frieza < 3rd Frieza < 1% FF Frieza, wouldn't that make 100% and SSJ Goku at least 114.88c?
 
We don't use Power levels like that; and Frieza's 2nd form being "Not even 1% of Frieza's true power" was an Anime exclusive statement. We don't use it in the canon scaling.
 
Why wouldn't "power levels" be used like that? There's no reason not to. Power levels as they relate to battle stats, are non-linear, so SSJ becomes "at least 50x stronger/faster/etc" rather than "50x stronger/faster/etc"
 
We also had discussions regarding that too. The problem is that even 5 or 10 times multipliers should be enough to turn an even match into a stomp. And there are times where going from base form to SSJ form didn't appear to make that much of a difference in table turning. And the first instance of going SSJ to SSJ2 was obviously much greater than 2x in terms of power; with speed not appearing to be that much different.
 
....So because it appears that it may be inconsistent sometimes you are invalidating the entire premise of multipliers?

And in the case of Gohan's SSJ2, if you want you can simply rationalize the difference as being a result of a rage boost. That's a commonly held belief even if I don't believe it personally.
 
Didn't Krillin one-shot 3 Raditz tier opponents, and would've killed the last if it hadn't dodged? And can we get anything out of Goku training on King Kais planet?
 
Raditz also overpowered Piccolo and Goku on his lonesome and thus would be superior to their combined power AKA 139.4 ZT, and Piccolo one-shotted a Saibamen with his beams so he'd scale to that. Then, Nappa stomped him and post-Training Goku humiliated him, so both are at least 139.4 ZT, with KKx2 Goku being 278.8 ZT. KKx3 Goku would be at least 418.2 ZT and Vegeta stalemated KKx3, and KKx4 Goku would be around 557.6 ZT, with Vegeta surviving the blast with minimal scratches and just casually moving to the side to evade it. Regardless of whether you use 418.2 or 557.6 ZT for base Vegeta, Oozaru Vegeta with the 10x multiplier stacked on top (Since the Oozaru's multiplier is accepted) would be a bit above baseline 5-A.
 
And yeah, AFAIK, Krillin did kill 3 Saibamen in sheer rage in one shot.
 
We don't use the Oozaru multiplier as it's made very vague if it multipliers physical power or PL by 10. Thought, I doubt Oozaru is above the Ginyu Force so probably not PL as 180,000 > 120,000 among others. But I still don't think we use it for other reasons mentioned on other threads. And yes, Krillin did vaporize three Saibamen with a single attack.
 
The Ginyu Force being 5-A (Baseline at that by being superior to Oozaru Vegeta) really doesn't seem to be out of stretch. Even with Kaio-Ken x10 pre-Zenkai Goku would not even come anywhere near Frieza's High 5-A feat.
 
Not sure, other staff members have been really strict about stuff like that. I mean, it wouldn't be too stretchy for those to be reasons to multiple AP but not speed.
 
Speed can prolly stay the same then, I guess, Oozaru Vegeta's only advantage was his strength IIRC.

Yeah that's not how power works in Dragon Ball. you can't just say that a team of two characters is equal to the sum of each of them.
 
That approximation was before we found out that Krillin vaped 3 Saibamen at once with just one attack, so it'd actually be 209.07 ZT for post-training Piccolo assuming we took Saibamen as just 69.69 ZT via being equal to Raditz.

So, post-King Kai training Goku is above 209.07 ZT by an unknown margin for humiliating Nappa who's >>>> Piccolo and hits 418.14 ZT with KKx2. KKx3 Goku hits 627.21 ZT and Vegeta is equal to that and Geets took a Kamehameha from KKx4 Goku so that's about 836.28 ZT.
 
I agree with the multipliers not making sense. No one can tell me Kaio Ken x 20 amped SSJ blue Goku is 20 times stronger than SSJ blue Goku

How exactly do you know the Ginyu Force to be above Oozaru Vegeta?

The only times Base and SSJ dont seem to make a big difference are in filler.
 
Kaioken is outright stated to multiply power and speed by the specific number, which is made very consistent. That's the only multiplier that's officially accepted.

But SSJ is clearly 50x in the Namek arc, and there's nothing to suggest it changes, and then there are multiple guides that confirm it in addition to the other multipliers. I see no reason why they can't be used. The only ones that we don't definitively know the multiplier are the God forms.
 
SSJ was accepted as an at least 40x multiplier during the first use of it. After stacking both the Kaioken x20 and Frieza shifting from 50% to 100%.

Yeah what's your point? That only reiterates that 50x for SSJ is supported.
