I know this is dumb to argue, because it's a cartoon, but is their any plausible explanation why Vegeta with a power level of 18,000's Galick Gun could destroy the Earth, when an angry Super Buu just made a crater when he self-destructed. By the Buu Saga, any characters weakest ki blast should have the power to destroy a planet. Maybe the energy has to burrow into the core of the planet, yet Vegeta blew up Arlia AND it's moon, just fine from orbit. Does anyone have any ideas?
ANYWAY to answer your question im assuming that as earth heals it some how becomes stronger in the DBZ universe. Kinda far fetched but i never really thought about this question
Energy attacks in DBZ cannot be gauged solely by the amount of collateral damage they cause. If that were the case then Roshi, with a PL of 180, would be one of the most powerful characters in the mythos, given that he generated a moon-buster.
No, the Z Fighters are simply able to concentrate their blasts so they still deliver the maximum amount of damage to their opponent, without the planet being destroyed as a result.
Vegeta's PL during the Saiyan saga was 18,000. I can post the canon Daizenshuu and V-Jump pages if you'd like.

yes but that was after his fight on earth. im talking before namek i believed it was at 15,000 But its been pointed out i may have been wrong
please post them
DBZ is just as inconsistent as any other comic. Galactus has fought on Earth without it exploding. Doesn't mean he isn't a planet buster. It's common sense. Everything doesn't revolve around collateral damage. Frieza withstood a planets explosion, super Saiyan 2 Gohan could kill this same Frieza with a casual attack that wouldn't even level the room or area they were standing in. Same in Marvel and DC. Wolverine has survived a Nuke, Odin could kill Wolverine with an attack that wouldn't even destroy a barn.
It would be pointless to blow up a planet around a character if they could survive it like it was nothing, but if you can blast a planet buster within the confines of a human sized area, then you can invoke temperatures and force on par with solar level decimation, if not higher.
That's why Gohan was able to kill Frieza with a single punch in Fusion reborn. The same Frieza who survived being blasted with dozens of planet busters, and even a planet exploding on his face.

Why would Vegeta have exaggerated? Based on simply what we know of Vegeta, he's destroyed hundreds of planets before he even heard of the dragon balls.
Arlia was filler, but it's still accepted as secondary cannon by the Daizenshuu. So it's anime only, but it doesn't contradict anything in cannon, and in fact supports it.

At least the dimension that the DBZ universe resides in. Otherwise the Kai's and such wouldn't have been so scared that Buu was going to destroy "all of creation", by tearing apart dimensions with a scream.
