^ You don't have to "Imagine all the Japanese phrases and flowery language that's lost in translation" because when we read manga, they're quite accurately translated into actual English.
I reject any notion that there is a need to "level [the] playing field between manga and comics". Such a notion stinks of prejudice and butthurt. And it always seems to come from the comics side than the manga side.
Read and accept them both as they're plainly presented within the four corners of their pages or don't.

But like I've said before: scaling generally is a reliable/logical metric in this medium. Manga and comics are not the same thing.In DB, for example, we know that Saiyan saga Vegeta and 1st form Freeza were each capable of destroying planets with varying degrees of difficulty(max-diff for Vegeta vs. no-diff for Freeza)... So this means that any Z Fighter with a PL between 18k-530k absolutely can destroy a planet, even if they never actually do so on-panel. IOW, once a particular level has been established/defined, we automatically know what any other character at(or above) that level is capable of, even in the absence of tangible feats. That's just how ki-amping and whatnot works here.
As mentioned, this is how we know that someone like Krillin has been a potential planet-buster since the Namek saga, even though he has never operated on that scale.
