      @@mvp746 Power scaling is simply telling us Freeza got exponentially more powerful in 4 months, the reason or quality behind it isn't the fault of power scaling.
      And in DBZ there's stupid things like Kid Buu being the strongest form of Buu meaning he's stronger than Buuhan, and yet Goku is able to take him on rather well alone. And the only reason you can get for that is that he got buffed after de-fusing as Vegito.

    My biggest problem with the powercliffing is the Goku Black Arc. We start the arc with Base Black ~ SSJ2 Goku, and then out of nowhere he’s slapping Blue Vegeta. But then after that he gains Rosé which is his own variation of Blue, and yet later Black Arc Blue Vegeta beats his ass. This means Base Vegeta from later in the Black Arc beats his Blue self from earlier in the same arc, which is absurd

    • @Mystic_Magirano
      @Mystic_Magirano หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the reason this does make sense is because Goku black got a massive Zenkai bigger than one he would get from trunks after Fighting Goku who is a way better fighter than trunks in power and skill, so Goku black would get a stronger Zenkai as a result because he was clutching his chest because of how strong Goku was
      And as for ssjr in the anime, because we never saw black use regular ssj this could means that his ssjr form (in the anime) has the same multiplier as a super Saiyan (while the manga version it is based of the multiplier for ssjb with ssj shown to be a separate form.) since the arc is so different in the manga and anime this could be possible
      This makes sense because Zamasu kept his god ki in Goku's body with Goku even Comparing his chi when he is still a Kai to Zamasu in Goku's mortal body. so in the anime he probably just doesn't toggle his god ki on and off like Goku and instead just tapped into the full potential of a "super Saiyan god" making Vegeta power growth after spending his time in the time chamber make sense.
      Do you agree? 🤔

    • @Abyss_8228
      @Abyss_8228 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ I think Goku Black’s growth is consistent to a degree, sure. As far as the SSJR amp goes though I can’t really say for the anime as I haven’t watched it in a hot minute but if it was something more akin to a super saiyan amp it would make more sense. In the manga though it’s still a pretty massive cliff (although not nearly to the degree of the anime if Rosé is still a blue level amp); not the biggest fan of the arc regardless but your arguments do make sense

    • @astroh4936
      @astroh4936 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      This view doesn't make sense, and I'll try to explain why. You have to understand that the DBS writers are idiots when it comes to power scaling, so you need to follow some rules of thumb. One of them is Goku and Vegeta are always on par, unless the opposite is stated clearly. Why am I saying this? Well, in the same episode where base Black stomps Blue Vegeta, Blue Goku fights Rosè Black. At no point in Dragon Ball Z Goku was 50 times stronger than Vegeta, and in Super, a show where Goku and Vegeta are basically the two main characters (you could argue the only characters for most of it), it would be ridicolus to think they're so far apart.
      But even without following this intuition, in the Potaufeu saga Goku and Vegeta were shown to be on par, and in the 2nd future voyage they're again shown to be on par.
      So in this case you just have to say that the base Black - Blue Vegeta fight was incoherent with what was shown before and after, and as such it's not relevant to the overall scaling. You can even invent an in-universe explanation, for example "Vegeta was holding back", but it might as well be bad writing because they Super writers at just very bad power scalers

  • @Ktotokroto
    @Ktotokroto 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +44

    Dragon Ball power escalation was always ridiculous. But Super multiplies it by 50 times. Like, back in the day they at leat tried to cover it up with training, potential unlocks, rage boosts and whatever.
    Now character A just sleeps for one hour and wakes up with the power to sneeze away fiction and now Goku and Vegeta how to train for 50 billion years just to stand near him.
    But its just unfair to criticise super for it and turning blind eye on Z, it was always a problem, just like you explained. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    It's still vastly more extreme. Just because it happened earlier doesn't mean it's better now. And as some already pointed out the explanations back then were usually more elaborated (even if they make no logical sense). Ever since the U6 tournament the power escalation happens without any kind of attempt on logic.

  • @EudaemonYoutube
    @EudaemonYoutube 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I think with Dragon Ball characters probably have a sort of multiplier where the stronger you get, the more and more your strength’s potential to accelerate get bigger, but the more potential you have to lose your strength gets bigger. It’s easier to go from God to Blue than Kaio-Ken to Super Sayain, but not training consistently as a SSB will make you as weak as Kid Buu. Does that make sense? It’s easy for characters to get crazy powerful if they’re above that Super Sayain 2 threshold in terms of power growth. This is pretty evident with Goku, Gohan, Android 17, Freeza… pretty much with a bit of potential and being at a certain range they can catch up. The issue isn’t crazy potential, it’s inconsistency. Android 17 catching up is great but there are A LOT of issues with that that need explaining

    You're right most of the characters such as humans have been training for years so it makes sense why they would be above characters such as cell kid buu and namek frieza. Just thinking about it this way dbz villains are like gifted children and krillin and other humans are like hard working students, they both can achieve great power in the future but one group doesn't train at all and are gifted from birth with massive potential [ frieza, cell, buu ] that they don't use compared to other characters in the series, but when they got defeated or surpassed by the hard working characters like goku or vegeta they return they take stuff seriously and train for some time and suddently beat everyone who has been training hard for few years.

    They just climb higher and higher gaps, the thing is it's always been like this in dragon ball where when they're training to reach new heights they get there. In Saiyan Saga the humans go from below 23rd WT Piccolo and Goku to above raditz. Android Saga arguably every Z fighter is close to or vastly above mecha frieza. In the dbz anime Yamcha is arguably super perfect cell level by the end of the kid buu arc.
    The issue is they reach these new heights too fast and without much leading to it. ROF everyone is below buu saga gohan level to in less than a year of doing some training is on the level of a super saiyan god. Piccolo reaching this height even faster with his special beam cannon alone in the universe 6 arc, and gohan with light training can rival base goku in their sparring match. This same Goku who spent another 3 years in the hyberbolic time chamber training with vegeta. It's quite frankly insane how they break these limits despite not much happening to cause it.

    Kid Buu > Buuhan tells me that SSJ3 Goku could box with Vegito, so you can see why I disagree with that take.
    Also, I don't think anyone can justify Trunks killing Zamasu when Blue Vegito couldn't with Final Kamehameha. Or how 17, who seemingly stuck with being a park ranger or anyone training less hard for less time, for some reason get strong enough to contest Goku after a god boost to his base, with Frieza training for 4 months being the biggest example I can mention. It goes beyond statements, like U6 saiyans being that strong, it's the progression we see for ourselves that make no sense with the characters we kept up with all this time. DBS scaling makes me almost believe TOP Krillin could fight merged Zamasu 😂

    I would argue that what you are referring to is power escalation, and that supers biggest issue was power scaling.
    I dont really ever see an issue with how quickly someone gains strength. Who am i to say a fictional race like the sayians can't grow that quickly? The issue is when you have a guy that can fight on a multiversal level yet gets bruised by a normal gun. While i get that it was more to highlight gokus pretty stagnant state compared to what he needed to be doing since gaining god power, there were definitely better ways of doing it.
    Or how krillin did against goku. Even if goku wasn't trying, you can't limit krillins power and at the same time have him holding off a ssgss goku. While it wouldve been weird, if they had just made krillin THAT much more powerful, i would've been okay with that. But no, they heavily imply and say that hes COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY out of his league at this point, yet he hilds off a blue goku, even if goku wasnt trying and it wasnt for long. Like either make him powerful enough to scale to goku like that, or just leave him out.

    There are reasons why people criticize super but give Z a pass the an extent, 1) when Z was airing most of if not all of it's fans were kids who didn't give a damn about power levels or scaling we just watched the cool fights but with super those fans have grown up and are now thinking a lot harder about what they watch. 2) The internet wasn't anything like it was today so people weren't coming together as much to talk about things like they are now. 3) When Z came out there wasn't much anime and it practically grandfathered the shonen genre, but now there is so much more to watch and the quality and complexity has gone up meanwhile as you've shown super is doing much of what Z did, which was fine in the 90's but it's been almost 30 years since it ended and it's doing much of the same, but with less character building, less stakes and harder to process scale.
    I guess you could say people are expecting more now then they did 30 years ago.

      Ssj Goku did not defeat Gohan lol, nor did Goku say Kid Buu was the strongerst Buu, both of those things are anime filler lmao. I love the selective memory though, as Goku, after ”defeating Gohan” and freeing his friends, makes a statement to Vegeta that they can’t go outside of Buu even after him reverting, because even base Super Buu is too much for them. And yes, that statement is in the manga too, so canon.
      Gohan is waay above even ssj3 Goku, and so is Gotenks. That is why they were left out of the final fight so Goku could have the spotlight.
      It’s so funny to me that grown ass people would think it’s in any way logical story telling that Goku just suddenly magically becomes so much stronger that he is suddenly stronger in ssj1 than he was in ssj3 just moments ago, and that he would be able to fight an ”even stronger” enemy when the ”weaker” opponent needed fusion to have any chance against🤣 it must be some sort of brainrot. Buuhan is *obviously* the strongest form, while Kid Buu is the most dangerous due to his destructive and unpredictable nature. That is what is stated in canon, nothing more.

    Some of the scaling issues are anime exclusive. Particularly the ones with Kid Buu and any filler characters like Olibu. None of the filler characters were in the manga so that wasn't a scaling issue. Kid buu on the other hand is pretty clearly stated to be weaker than Super Buu and Buuhan as he lost all of the power of the characters he had absorbed. This is exactly why SSJ3 is all that is needed to face Kid Buu in the manga and why Vegito was needed for Super Buu.
    Also to correct one misconception that's very annoying to hear. Krillin does not match SSJB Goku. The whole point of that scene was for Goku to test how Krillin would do against who has a power far greater than his own. He does well against base Goku partially because he knows how Goku fights better than anyone. Secondly he does get close in terms of overall power. With SSJ1/2 he is already on the losing side as well and then Blue further makes that gap even wider. Goku is testing him and if people actually watched that entire mini arc with Krillin it was supposed to show how scared he was of fighting against opponents that were potentially much stronger than him.
    Also GT and parts of the DBZ anime are just as bad with scaling with some of the points I made in regard to the anime

    From an objective standpoint, I still think it's pretty sloppy writing for the sake of advancing the stakes as the series goes on (throughout the whole franchise,) but it doesn't really matter to me because it all leads to touching moments and incredible action scenes. It's not the logistics of power-scaling and the like that are barely touched upon in any meaningful way that should decide the overall quality, but the stories that are being told and the art that the creators meticulously put together.

    I think dragon ball characters version of power creep is similar to Saitama in the way that characters potential can increase to an unknown cap based on there level of strength at the time (except saiyan's who are infinite), let's use goku and Gohan as examples
    goku was born with a low power level because he had a low potential but when he starts training with roshi it's shown he has potential far higher than imaginable, and then in king piccolo saga master korin said if pre ultra divine water Goku would take a few years to match king piccolo's strength but when goku get's that potential of being piccolo's level he trains in that few years korin was talking about and becomes hundreds of times stronger than korin expected goku's potential to be
    gohan is known for having high potential but in the namek saga we see gohan got his potential unlocked so that should have been his cap but then we see Gohan could still become far stronger when he enters the time chamber and then in buu saga Gohan gets his potential unlocked again it's far beyond a super Saiyan 3 level boost than his namek saga somewhat Vegeta level boost

  • @supersonicdj1631
    @supersonicdj1631 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Pretty good video, the only problem is that it doesn't make a clear distinction between power creep and the general power scaling of the show. While I agree that dbs power creep is fine by z standards, there are blatant moments of inconsistent power scaling that aren't mentioned in dbs. For example, Trunks getting smacked around by base goku black and then going on to fight relatively with rose goku black (pre ssj rage). Also, Beerus' strength, in battle of gods stated to be using 70% of his power against god goku but with this being retconned. There's also Friezas strength as he was able to fight with broly for over an hour (not on par, but still). This ssj broly was taking hits from ssjb goku and vegeta combined, and was throwing around ssj gogeta, yet pre black frieza could fight with him. With these unexplained inconsistencies that are hard to find in z, it's clear why people say super's power scaling is bad

    • @SwmLee
      @SwmLee  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I didn’t even know Frieza or Trunks were also considered in the conversation, or I would’ve gone over them as well. Regarding Goku Black, he never fought Trunks seriously until Trunks achieved his rage form; Goku Black loves dragging fights out to discover more of his potential. As for Broly vs. Frieza, it wasn’t a fight but rather one-sided. We already know how durable Frieza is from Z, where he survived a planet explosion while being cut in half and having only a portion of his body left. He is also relative to Goku and Vegeta in their SSB forms in the Tournament of Power, so it’s not too far-fetched to say he got stronger post-TOP, just like Goku and Vegeta, or also grew from the Broly fight. Additionally, Broly didn’t start throwing around SSJ Gogeta until he went full power Super Saiyan, which Frieza didn’t face.

      @supersonicdj1631 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @SwmLee those are some good points I hadn't thought about with regards to the frieza /black fight . There's also another elephant in the room which people don't talk about, piccolo vs frost, where ssj goku in u6 tournament (which is relative /equal to God goku in battle of gods) fought on par with Frost, with Piccolo also doing so to a lesser extent. Despite being on the back foot, he still fought with a god goku level character, with no reasonable explanation explaining this jump. There's also blue goku vs krillin which I'm surprised you didn't bring up (I don't think its an example of bad power scaling but still).I think the main problem of dbs power scaling is God ki. How other characters were able to get to the level of battle of Gods goku extremely quickly. The level of "God" let's say seemed to be a barrier unbreakable without divine intervention (e.g training from whis/dragon balls) Yet, characters like piccolo/krillin/master roshi got to that level quickly, with much less training, leading to questions like why goku didn't get to God level during his training with king Kai post z. But overall, I do agree with most of your points, I don't think dbs power scaling is awful, with a bit more explanation it could work.

    @astroh4936 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I think you're underselling how weird some power jumps are in Super. Crazy power jumps in Z were still half-justified, with either Zenkais or months long trainings. In Super characters like Krillin, 18 and Gohan get random power boosts in little time just to stay on par. And even characters with better justifications like Frieza or Roshi still make bigger and less realistic jumps than characters in Z.
    But this is not even the main problem with Super scaling, imo. The main thing with Super scaling is that it's very incoherent. If you watch the show attentively you WILL notice the writers don't have the slightest idea of what they're doing.
    For example, they clearly fucked up deciding to make Goku absorb God in base, and from the Champa saga onwards they seemed to walk that decision back. You see Frost fighting with Piccolo, base Goku and Vegeta still staying in tier with base Future Trunks, base Goku fighting with Bergamo, whose brother is Good Buu tier. Stuff like that makes you think they just walked back the God absorbing thing. But then you look back to Copy Vegeta VS Gotenks SSj3 and you go fucking insane. Have they walked the decision back, or not? They have no idea of what they're doing.
    Another thing that infuriates me is that A LOT of times power ups mid fight only feel like they serve to give dopamine to viewers, and after the power up scene is ended, the fight continues THE SAME as before. This makes power scaling also more complicated and incoherent.
    Why is SSjB KK10 Goku fighting Hit with not that much ease than SSjB Goku, considering it is stated multiple times Hit doesn't get stronger when he ups his timeskip? Why does Goku Black powers up like 3 times against SSj2 Goku and performs the exact same? Why does Merged Zamasu get glazed the fuck out and is then rivaled by some motivated Saiyans? Why does Gohan become SSj against Lavenda and perform the same? Why do Saiyans become SSj against the three wolves in ep 98 and perform just barely better?
    There are probably a lot of other weird things I could call out but I just wanted to explain my true gripes with Super's scaling lol

      So to me the power scaling isn’t as awful as some of these people think it is or write it Goku and Vegetta seem to always push their limit when they fight a more powerful opponent and that’s because they train to do that. Their body’s are powerful enough to handle these new modes they “magically” unlock without any training. No they train. They’re at the peak condition of their races they can easily transfer into new forms if their body’s can handle it which they train so this is a possibility at all times
