By the way That Nappa thing was city busting not continent if i can remember correctly...
Superman has been hurt by less so a continent leveling attack would hurt him.
But like i said superman has nothing to do with anything. Iff anything comic books are even more inconsistent because each character has has several different writers and what they can take and dish out varies by comic

Its not about collateral damage your the one implying so. Planet buster is a rank applied when talking about character abilities in the forum community.
The ranks go from city block, multi city block, to city, mountain, multi mountain, continant so on and so forth these are the rankings when it comes to debating about characters destructive capabilities,
Durability has a similar rankimg system
And speed has a different ranking system icluding faster than the eye can see, supersonic,hypersonic, hypersonic plus all the way past relavistic.
All of these things are based on evaluated consistant feats performed within their repective verses. This belief is universal within the anime and the comic book community.

Dbz is one of those anime that has contradicted itself of a couple occasions for PIS. Im not bashing it because i know its an anime you like just telling you these are some things you should know

I think you are a nice guy and I mean no harm but this is the most insane argument I have ever heard of in my life. Do you not understand that everything you said is about Collateral damage? If character A is a million times more powerful and shoot a blast with all of his might but it doesn't destroy the building that they are standing in (but it kills or seriously injure a being that is of equal powerful) then on the other hand you have character B shooting. A blast that destroys a planet but he effortlessly does it and he is millions of times less powerful than the guy that shot a blast with all of his might but didn't destroy a building. You are saying that the planet busting blast is more powerful which is WRONG AND it IS COLLATERAL DAMAGE. What other reason would you say the planet busting is more powerful? Do you know what collateral damage means?
What kind of question is this? And what does this have to do with far weaker characters killing more powerful characters without exerting that much energy at all? Going by your logic, first form Frieza>>>>>>>>Final form Frieza. Final form Frieza used so much energy against Super Saiyan Goku that his power was near depletion but the planet was still intact.
You were just talking about collateral damage? In your post before this one so how is my question irrelavant.
Final form frieza could have destroyed the planet faster but he used most of it fighting goku.
Yo if any dbz character were to just sit there without charging ki or anything and take a planet buster they would take damage.
Vegeta, trunks ,goku, gohan,Frieza,cell, buu and others have all been hurt by characters weaker than themselves i dont understand why you cant believe it its in the show. The evidence is literally in your face if you go back and watch it.
You cant just say they would tank a planet busting attack when all evidence counts to the contrary. They always either deflect them or run away.
Toriyama doesnt care about consistency when he writes for dbz he creates new rules for the verse by the second and has contradicted things in the story more than one once. An example the story of bardock and goku's mother.Someone like you who loves the show would call these things nitpicking but i like consistency.

While I usually will jump on the whole "Chasedown is a retard" bandwagon, he's right on this one.
What you're saying is that a mini-black hole is weaker than a zhar bomb because it has a smaller AOE.
Generally, bigger AOE means bigger force. However, in things such as DBZ, and even a lot of comics, characters make their attacks smaller and more condensed so they don't destroy everything around them. Final form Frieza told SSJ Goku that he could destroy Namek with a gesture, but he didn't because he wanted to prove he could beat Goku with his own power, not his biological advantage. Why do you think Thanos fighting the Silver Surfer didn't destroy Earth, when he casually shrugged off attacks from the universe busting Galactus?
That's where power-scaling comes in. You have to gauge from statements, feats, common sense ,and author-approved literature how strong someone is in fiction. Not petty assumptions and nit-picking.

If you truly want to debate collateral damage vs power output regarding DBZ characters, then again, you all know nothing concerning DBZ. You are basically saying first form Frieza could kill Super Saiyan 3 Goku, Vegeto, Cell, Super Saiyan 2 Gohan. Are you seriously agreeing with this? I dont think you read everything me and this guy was debating on. The radius of a DBZ blast doesn't have a thing to do with the power behind said attack.
At the end of the day all of this stuff youjus posted doesnt matter unless you can show someone tanking a planet buster.... And by the way i said hurt i never said kill. Hurt/kill are two different things. Ive been saying this whole time they would take damage. Go back and look.
Honestly the weaker characters would get blitzed before they could even launch a planet buster at them so the low tier characters would obviously lose in a full on fight with stronger characters. But that doesnt mean they cant be hurt by those weaker than them. Like ive said weve seen them all get hurt by those weaker than them time and time again whether you like it or not.

Yes...Namek was much larger than Earth. Frieza tanked Namek destruction but was turned to dust by Trunks from a blast that didn't even lift the dirt off the ground.
If First form Frieza could KILL the people I've named with a single attack, doesnt that mean he has the potential to BEAT them? Think about it. A sneak attack from Frieza would end all of these people going by your assumptions.
What weaker character hurt a more powerful character?
Wrong word. He didn't tank it, he withstood it while being near death. Crazy thing is, Super Saiyan Goku is more durable than planet withstanding Frieza. Planet busting withstanding Frieza was chopped into small pieces by Trunks. Goku Finger withstood the same blade that turned/cut planet busting withstanding Frieza to ice cubes.
We are not talking about real fights here. What I am telling you is, you are saying that Frieza can kill those people. Lol...sneak attacks are possible. If Vegeto is busy fighting some else...First Form planet busting Frieza could land an attack off and per your admission, this version of Frieza would kill him.
Also...it's kind of a DBZ thang to stand there and let someone far weaker land an attack. With that said...if Super Saiyan 3 Goku or Vegeta did that to a Frieza who's power level was 500k versus their billions...they are dead. Great logic my friend.

Have a question. Would Vegeta suicide blast that he used against Fat Buu kill planet busting withstanding near death Frieza? Frieza withstood a planet exploding on him twice the size of earth. I'm pretty sure he can withstand an attack from Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta putting everything into one blast (that didn't destroy the planet...it just left a crater)?
