The truth about powerscaling

Показать описание
Although I love making videos on the subject of power scaling and having anime characters duke it out. There are also many issues with power scaling in general, and specifically power scaling with Dragon Ball involved. In todays video I have taken a more chill/podcasting approach where I talk about my personal issues with the subject. This video is just my own opinion on the matter so please don't take it too seriously. Enjoy the video!

My problem with power scaling is the toxic people who take it seriously

It's interesting you mentioned Goku and Ichigo at the beginning because the comparison between these two is a clear example of how ambiguous powerscaling can be. Both characters can be scaled to universal level, but their verses are different from our own in the real life.

Dragon Ball's universe is stated to be divided into a mortal realm below and a spiritual realm above (which was stated to be infinite in size), with Kai's world and Makai as separated realms. This makes Dragon Ball verse probably bigger than the real life one.
Bleach in other hand is separated in three realms said to be equal in size (Living Realm, Soul Society and Hueco Mundo), but the flow of souls between those realms never scalated above planetary level (no souls outside Earth), which means Bleach's universe is probably smaller than ours and have a more geocentrist vision.
Yet both Ichigo and Goku tend to be scaled at similar level due to their verses being adjusted to be like ours. Still, even knowing each verse to make the powerscaling, their verses actually were even more complex than what stated, Dragon Ball have more universes and a set of timelines while Bleach have the Hell and Dangai, those things adds more rules and more things to consider when doing a consistent powerscaling.

In the end, powerscaling is fun, but it isn't something to be taken really serious. Most of the time, making powerscaling is just an act of building a script in our minds where we decide which character will win.

I think the biggest problem in power scaling is how 2 separate magic systems interact with each other. it's basically all up too personal interpretation to figure out how is something like haki form one piece and ki form dragon ball would interact with each other.

Yeah, great video.
I think powerscaling only becomes stupid when people start getting emotional and take it personally.

Shikaku from Naruto probably can't even beat characters from _early_ DB or Bleach or whatever anime...but so f**king what? I still love the character. People act like they take Ls if their character takes an L
I'm a grown man with bills ffs. Fiction characters aren't that serious

I agree with this heavy, but my personal issue with powerscaling and powerscalers in general is just the inconsistency when it comes to canon material and supplemental material. Its especially prevelant in dragon ball scaling because you will have someone tell you that Cell is Galaxy-universal level and despite how little we've seen Cell outside of fighting, despite the fact that he's likely never went to space, the fact that he never actually tested this strength to its fullest until the tournament, people just die on the hill. I have no problem with Cell being thay strong, its just the fact that in so many cases I see scalers go through the effort of upscaling for an approximation rather than just saying "Okay, has he done this thing yet? If not, has he beaten someone who's done it?" It bleeds into my overall dissatisfaction with dragon ball as well but, there's just so little consistency that it just irks me to even bring it into the discussion.

Powerscalers: Makes up some complex outerversal omniversal bullsh

The thing is, people say goku is outversal or something, while in his world destroying just a universe (just 💀) seems like a big feat, like vegeta shooked face when he heard that zeno can destroy a universe from whis

Also the fact that cell strongest attack is a solar system buster, if we used power levels He should at least destroys hundrends of Galaxis
As they say, power levels are bullsh-

I think part of the reason we don't see mass destruction from all characters in DBZ is down to ki control and the ability to condense that power think a beach ball and a marble that both weigh the same if I throw a beach ball at you it's not going to hurt much if at all but if I throw a tiny marble of the same weight at you it's going to hurt a lot more the area of damage is smaller but it hurts a lot more because it's concentrated so if a character threw a punch capable of destroying a content at an opponent only a small amount of that total force would actually hit the enemy and the rest would go to waste but if they can condense that same force into a single point they can hit the enemy with all the force at once resulting in a much more powerful hit

I strongly agree with this. They've abandoned this power/magic system a while ago yet cards, games, other statements in the official books still use it for some stupid reason besides profit of course.

My personal issues with DBZ power scaling is the whole "Immune to hax" argument thing, of course I'm not saying they're not, we have example, but at the same type, not every hax work the same, like how Ajimu Najimi from Medaka Box, her hax works differently in comparison to Dragon Ball, also most of her abilities are something Dragon Ball characters never experience before, so we cant just say they're immediately immune to it, of course it would be hypocritical of me to say Ajimu abilities would or wouldn't work, but you get what i mean right?

Yeha and to add that the universe in dragon ball is bigger than universe in sailor moon and where the universe end enemies comes at very late in sailor moon( at least form what I heard) in begining of dragon ball super the clash betwen berrus and super sayian god goku was stated that could just destroy the univeese and then goku only gets stronger

Please man do how far would mcu hulk get in dragon ball I think he would at least get two tail mersiniary Tali I think we'll passed the red Robin saga

What I learn about power scaling is there isn't really a correct scaling for the characters. Everyone has there ways to highball or lowball characters and its all pointless since writers don't care about power scaling.

7:45 Did you forget about ki control? You can make this same argument for most characters in dragon ball.

It also depends on how a characters act as well like I believe shiraori from so I'm a spider so what has a chance against beating goku because goku likes to see how powerful his opponents are so he doesn't go out right away shiraori doesn't do that she would try to end a fight as quickly as possible plus the hax and she can't die unless you destroy all her spider clones in her pocket dimension because she can send her own soul to a spider clone but I do think vegeta would beat shiraori because of his hakai form and vegeta isn't like goku he would go all out

Me power scaling I think ruins the magic of a charaecter on how powerful because we don't really know and that's what fantasy is about if you say that charaecter can beat that charaecter ok that's what you in version that's how our imagination works I feel there's no rules when comes to comics and manga it's you the wrighter rote that charaecter like if we're to say can Bruce lee beat super man I will say yes because one super man is not real.
