I've had my issues with collateral damage in the past, but some things just can't spread their energy out in a wide enough radius. That doesn't mean the focal point of the attack would be less however. An example of this is the UN vs IG. This example is seen many times in DB in the form of Vegeta's sacrifice being the most powerful attack up to that point in DB but only causing a kilometer at best of damage. Kid Buu's attack being completely undeflectable to SS Goku and Vegeta but only being contained to the area around Earth, whereas Frieza can casually kick away a Vegeta attack with enough power to destroy Namek. Hell Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta was bigger than the Kid Buu attack in every way but he's still thousands of times weaker.
They don't need to continuously keep ramping up their attacks because we know that it meets a criteria at the bare minimum level in DB. Even the specific example has a moon being destroyed with the same attack that Raditz and the surrounding landscape took, and that's because these characters can focus their damage into a very small area.
thumb up

Another example is when Freeza destroyed the earth during RoF, and was then stated to have survived the kablooey:

*cut to*

Whis rewinds time, and Goku kills Freeza with an energy blast that 'only' produced...I dunno...the collateral damage of a small missile?

But given that Freeza had survived planetary destruction just before that, we know the potency of Goku's blast MUST have been >>> planet-level by default(collateral damage be damned.)

Showings like that are why we can assume the strength of various blasts in DB, even when there is very minor collateral damage produced by the attack(s) in question... Like Raditz no-selling what was logically a moon-buster from Piccolo, for instance.

there are 2 key points

1.
comics characters fluctuate greater than db, one day superman is lifting the universe, another day he's strugglin with a city

db is more consistent

2.
in comics, they will write batman trading hands with darkseid

in db, you will never see tao pei pei even taking a hit from beerus

db only uses tp for communication

goku and vegeta has no proof of defense against tp assault, not counting babidi controlling vegeta that's different

it's anyone's guess if they can ki blast the girls away before getting their brains shut down

I don't know why you are so confused. The basic premise of DBZ and comics are different. In DBZ characters getting more powerful with each arc is the basic premise (Gohan becoming weakened after cell saga was a major plot point due to lack of training). So you simply can't make an average of DBZ characters like you do for comics characters. Doing such is ignoring the basic premise of the DBZ fiction, you might as well start writing fanfiction.

Comics characters don't get stronger in the same sense. Normal Thor isn't stronger today than he was in 80s. Superman did get stronger but hardly to the same level.

So either you start talking like Kyle Rayner fighting SSGSSJ Goku (which makes no sense) or start a baseline. Superman fighting Cell saga Goku or Buu saga Goku is a very different proposition for Superman but it's the same for Goku.

So either you put comics top tiers at the very echelons of DBZ power starting with each arc or stop pretending that they are at the same level even though Goku gets stronger and Superman doesn't.


I'm not confused at all. You're argument of averages does not work in comics and it never did. There is no such thing as an average Thor, it is a Frankenstein version of Fraction, Oeming, Stan Lee, etc combined to be featured in vs debates, as there is too fundamental a difference between where writers view the character and the feats they perform between writing teams other than he can fly, mjolnir returns to his hand when thrown, and he can blast lightning.

I say all of DB goes in the High Meta Tier, all of DBZ goes in the Herald Level Tier, and all off DBS goes in the Trans and Maybe Skyfather Tier on the very high end.

Now I keep asking questions yet no one will answer them. Where does Flash (barry, wally) rank in DBZ abhi?

What is his average? Has the forum all decided and agreed on an average speed of Flash and what is it?

Where does characters like Krona with all the Emotional Entities rank? Does he have low showings and inconsistencies to lower his head cannon average down to Freeza level or is he ranking up there with the gods of DBS?

And why are you ignoring Iron Man? Tony gets stronger all the time, arc after arc his modern armor is literally 50 light years superior to his original Mark I which was nearly Thor level back in the 60s. Why is he stuck in High Meta Tier and his continual growth of power cappped there?

If he has better feats why couldn't he Phil? Ignoring crossovers where Venom is Superman Level and what not is there some Arbitrary Rule where company's scale to the same levels or is it just a battleboard terminology to level the playing field and make nice between franchises?

Also Galactus gets stronger the more he eats so he has a variable powerlevel too.

But, fortunately if we read enough comics, we can eyeball an average, since we're so familiar with them. We can eyeball for example that Kyle isn't operating at levels that he contains Big Bangs, that Superman is not operating at infinite strength etc. We can eye ball how they do against each other, also. We can see that Kyle wouldn't wipe the floor with the entire mid-herald tier, for example, based on how he does against other singular mid-heralds. Kyle is not Raditz-ing them.


There is no average and there never was. There is no eyeball between two very different fictional continuties, you compare feats and statements, relative character portrayals and unfortunately sh*t posting on battle boards. You are once again ignoring feats you don't like. Kyle has low showings just like Goku say needing to put on a protective suit to survive the inner core of Earth in DBS yet I don't hold that against Goku nor would bring it up in a battle of best vs best.

Superman varies from literally comic to comic, arc to arc, so any version you present in any thread unless specified to be from a single writer is going to be a Frankenstein version of composite feats that is hardly any different from compiling a respect thread.

In a general portrayal MM may have heat vision that reaches one trillion degrees celsius temperatures not found anywhere except in the Big Bang smokin'

In a general portrayal WW may be at a level where her lasso is stopping Multiversal beings like the Phantom Stranger.

Or she maybe struggling against a single bullet shot by a kid with ak-47.

There is no average Phil and there never was.

Just everyone's seperate head cannon and cherry picked feats. Thats all.

You're the same guy saying Black Adam punches with big bang fists, so I want to make sure.

You seem to have a problem understanding what a baseline is, and what relative showings are.


There are no averages and I will continue to repeat this until the cows come home to you. You're entire argument is based on battle board terminology that doesn't exist. These characters exist to do the impossible or probable week after week and all we're doing here collectively is picking them out of their fictional universes and comparing them to one another. I honestly think it should be a case by case basis. And it wouldn't be crazy if Black Adam could do that if he scales near Superman class beings who have shattered reality, warped entire time lines, and made the universe go funky town like Superman vs Kal-L during Infinite Crisis.

Just recently Bendis had Superman contemplate destroying the Phantom Zone, an infinite dimension above the multiverse in the sphere of the gods. Something tells me Bendis would have probably made Superman use his fists just like he did on the World Forger and his creation mate.

Well, they're not in the comics. That's just something you'll have to cope with.


That is true and it goes both ways because the western comic heroes and villains aren't in manga either to get the benefit of less inconsistency.

What does herald level mean to you? I keep asking these questions and yet no one answers? what does this battle board terminology actually mean to you? Bran said planetary level and admitted that's his head cannon. I say it simply means characters that are top tier heroes and that feats can range from street level to universe level. How do you define these tiers?

It's not the fault of Dragon Ball that within the rules of that Universe, once you're stronger you generally no-sell every other character that has come before you.

In essence, you have in the Dragon Ball Universe somebody like Freeza, who can solo an almost untold number of Raditz(es), who'd all be around the mid-herald tier.

So, I dunno...

Can Kyle solo a million Wonder Women?


Probably not most of the time since she has been shown to take out Multiversal beings so the question is can Freeza? Namek Saga or Golden? Please back this up with Feats or Statements and not powerscaling please Phil.

You're completely ignoring relative portrayals [for obvious reasons], and using solely high-end feats, to justify a position that crashes anytime you see that the gap between somebody like Kyle [high herald] and somebody like Black Adam [mid-herald] is -- and I do mean in the most generous way -- thousands to millions of times smaller than somebody like Freeza and the Piccolo who blows up the moon with a casual blast.


I'm not ignoring anything. I'm bringing up low showing and high showings in the same example like I did with Flash and other characters like Thor. I still want to see where you place being like Flash in DBZ and other characters I've mentioned in this discussion like Krona with the emotional entities or the Upside Down Man.

And why is everyone ignoring the relative power escalation of Iron Man and how he is still held to just one tier and not allowed to progress up?

Not sure.

By all accounts Krillin's DD would have cut Nappa in half, could have possibly injured Great Ape Vegeta, would have potentially chopped 2nd form Freeza in half, etc.

A few of them can probably withstand it. A few others might get decapitated.

Needless to say, anyone who survives multiversal powers like 5d imp or Source energy would tank it.

And Frieza from the namek saga would destroy Thanos. No matter how much anyone dislikes it.
