You're mostly just ignorant of both the series and of how much more power it takes to destroy, say, Earth than it does the moon tbh.

Pretty rude assertion, not supported by the rest of your post.

Roshi at a power level of 139 destroyed the moon, yes (though some argue this was an extreme outlier given the rest of the feats in Dragon Ball and Piccolo at the start of Z was the first "legitimate" moon buster).

It takes about 1,800 more energy to destroy the Earth than it does the moon.

A power level of 250,000+, or about half of Freeza's base form and over twice as strong as Captain Ginyu.

If you subscribe to the idea that Piccolo's feat was the first legitimate moon buster, then to destroy Earth with the same attack and ease it would take a power level of over 500,000, which is to say base form Freeza tier.

Yes, you didn't see me claim otherwise though, so it's irrelevant. Bravo!

Now, that doesn't matter because it is obvious that much thought was not put into the power levels and how they scale to characters' abilities.

But the idea that as the characters' power increases their actual abilities don't is just wrong.

What was the purpose of your post? Beyond some strawman?
Power levels are inconsistent, like I said.

Edit: To make it bleedingly obvious for you, you rude mongrel, they are consistent in the sense that someone with 2 billion in power level is more powerful than someone with 1.5 billion. I think they're inconsistent as to how much more powerful someone becomes, especially beyond the Frieza saga. Hence why I made the comparison between Frieza and Buu.

Current Krisblaze:

Classic Ilagrok:

PLs never made any sense to begin with when it came to blast capability.

Roshi(PL=180) can destroy the moon with his most powerful blast.
Piccolo(PL=3,500) can destroy the moon with a fairly casual blast.
Vegeta(PL=18,000) could have potentially destroyed the earth with his most powerful blast.
1st form Freeza(PL=530,000) can easily wipe out planets with no discernible effort at all.

*cut to*

Tien(PL unknown, but probably in the high 100,000s or low millions) could hold back Semi-Perfect Cell with his most powerful attack.
SPC(PL=SS2-tier) can wipe out the entire solar system with his most powerful blast.
etc. etc. etc.

The growth in that regard definitely isn't linear.

To be fair, Kikō-Hō (especially Shin Kikōhō ) is no ordinary blast technique --- it comes with a price, it's really taking its toll its user.

Do we know for sure if it was a generic ki blast or some variation of his demon wave technique?

Yeah, the Kikoho uses a mixture of lifeforce and ki. Still makes no sense that Tien could briefly hold off a being many, many orders of magnitude more powerful than himself... Could you imagine what someone like Boo or #17(who have infinite stamina/lifeforce) could do with that f*cking attack? Jfc.

Wasn't stated what the attack was. Looked to me like a generic ki blast:

He charges it for a second in both the anime and the video game cut scene:

2. https://youtu.be/Gs9pLdLNXVg?t=270

The stance he used reminds me of his single-handed demon wave techniques.

The anime has him initially charging two fingers, kinda like with Makankosappo, but without touching the forehead.

Of course, that's a detail --- he obviously didn't need to put as much effort into it as Roshi.

Don't even get me started on magic in the DB universe.

Magic obviously doesn't have a thing to do with power level since it isn't a ki base attack.

Jesus **** man, remove the Dragon’s balls from your mouth and come up for air before you choke yourself!

Hm...
Alright, first off, I formally apologize for using the word "retarded" in such a careless, callous and reckless manor. That was vastly insensitive, and ignorant and I can only imagine how much more bullsh*t like that I posted on these boards. I take that back if possible and apologize to any offended if I can.

Secondly, yes, even after all these years kmc is a hidden gem of the internet even if imagehosting sites have obliterated most of the shared content on here.

Finally, concerning the meat of that response, I'm in the same position of argument as I was when I posted it and if you're fixating on the acuracy of the percentages rather than core of the message, then you were missing the point.

As for all the "where did you get that percentage from?" stuff; Admittedly, I have *no* idea... (I think the percentage given was a rough assumption based estimate off the top of my head or I goofed on the decimal placement... Not sure)
I don't remember what happened there or what I was thinking; .0025% of 120,000,000 = 3,000... I don't know if I was conflating Piccolo's lunar feat with Freeza's, then conflating Piccolo with random Namekians or what..

But okay let's do this...
