i love you too

What’s more insane is that an absurdly suppressed Beerus sneezed and blew up a planet. This means if Goku is taking a dump and isn’t careful he could destroy the entire universe.

Goku went from 8,100 to 3,000,000 in a month... God, I never thought about that, it's so absurd.

Semi Perfect Cell: How are you this strong?

Vegeta: I trained all day yesterday.

There's a reason "over 9000" is a meme and that's pretty early on in the show

The actual mistake: destroying the moon and not caring about the consequences to the planet itself.

Chiaotzu being stronger than main antagonist piccolo in 1 years time is actually criminal never realized

The energy needed to blow up the moon is about 10 billion times the the combined explosive yield of the global nuclear arsenal. The energy needed to blow up the earth is about 1300 times the energy needed to blow up the moon. That means farmer with a shotgun with his power level of 5 should easily be a continent busting threat. Yeah, I can't take power levels seriously.

Keep in mind Super Saiyan was supposed to be a 10X MULTIPLIER 😭😭 But then Toriyama messed up and did Kaio-Ken times 20 so he had to buff it up all the way to 50 💀

From the Cell saga onwards, the average fighters could destroy the Earth even by accident.

They should've animated the panel break scene but with Goku facing forward knocking it into glass and 'breaking the tv screen'.

To be honest, Toriyama should have just established that frieza was a big fish in a small pond by saying he was only the strongest in the galaxy instead of the whole universe since that would prevent villains being stronger than Frieza from being a problem. But I don't blame him for not doing that since I remember hearing that he was planning to end the series by that point.

“HES GONNA WHAT?!”

“At the end of the day it’s just a fictional series written by a GOAT.”
I’m so glad farm animals have such quality representation and come along way in achievements

i had this realisation when Nappa lifted his fingers and obliterated an entire city, effortlessly. the size of that power display.
then? sagas later, when everyone is supposingly hundreds of times stronger, their blasts barely explode for a radius of 30 meters lol.

Goten and Trunks turning super saiyan as a 'child's play thing' is a point in DBZ where people are like 'yeah thats kind of absurd' lol

8:29 To be fair, Trunks is bad at gauging strength between characters. But also, the androids were fighting with only half their power against Trunks, possibly less since they thought of him as weaker than Gohan (17 specifically tells Gohan that he only ever fought him at half strength.)

It's why they stopped using scouters and just had the characters say things like "enormous power" and "I've never felt anything like it" after Frieza.

What disappoints me about powercreep is how it completely undermines everything that came before it. The transformation that kid Gohan had to endure in order to beat cell, it’s not even relevant anymore, because SS Blue is the new base level transformation.

The first manga to use numerical power levels wasn't Dragon Ball but Kinnikuman (a series that in general invented a lot of shonen cliches that Dragon Ball would later use). The first major antagonist of Kinnikuman, Robin Mask, had a power level of 960,000. The final antagonist, Super Phoenix, had a power level of 100,000,000. This means the Frieza fight alone (Frieza going from 560 thousand to 120 million) has more power creep than the entire Kinnikuman manga.
