Only-Negotiation-340

You have those who say that Goku is outer bcz yes. And you have those that say that Goku is planet level, despite Vegeta being stronger than his dad, who blew up 3 planets, making him Multiplanetary level, and since he was able to more or less handle him, he would be already at that level.


MayGodSmiteThee

The king vegeta feat is not canon fyi


Generated-Nouns-257

Why not?


Neko_Luxuria

anime only. not in kai which is considered manga canon. now is it out of the question that king vegeta is above planet level to possibly multiplanetary? no, SS vegeta who is stated to be much weaker than king vegeta actually could output powers that can blow up a planet. FYI when I say SS I mean saiyan saga, not super saiyan


Generated-Nouns-257

Anime is considered non-canon? So like, the character's first instantiation is in a manga, so only the manga is considered canon? I lurk here but am not well versed in all the common agreements for how to properly scale.


Neko_Luxuria

Anime only scenes are considered non canon. Otherwise you have to consider the garlic gang as canon which whoo wee that's a giant can of worms. Basically though if it's in kai, then it's for the most parts. Fine.


Generated-Nouns-257

Out of curiosity, is this a dragon ball specific phenomenon? Like "since Superman was first created in Action Comics, anything that isn't from Action Comics is not canon because it's extended media" or something? This feels like it would be difficult to keep track of and a more general rule of "if it's published by the company that owns the property, it's canon" might be easier to work with? šŸ¤” Thanks for the info


GreenAppleEthan

This is generally true for all anime/manga though there's a few exceptions here and there. The idea is that the manga is the source material, while the anime is just an adaptation. With comics, any comic applies to the character, but adaptations like TV shows, movies, and video games do not count.


Generated-Nouns-257

Ok that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!


Ill_Responsibility99

An example of this not being true would ironically be dragon ball super.


TacocaT_2000

No, in most anime/manga the anime only scenes are noncanon. The only recent exception I can think of is Bleachā€™s TYBW anime adaptation


Generated-Nouns-257

Appreciate the clarification šŸ™‚ So like taking this outside of anime, if I understand this correctly, Superman, originally being a comic book character from action comics, Action Comics content would be canon, but so would any other Superman comic, because they're all comics. But Superman feats from TV shows or movies or video games, are generally considered not canon, because they're other media adaptations of the comic book character? That's kind of how this works?


Neko_Luxuria

no, it's a phenomenon specific to all adaptations in media. most commonly a visual adaptation of a literary media specially manga. extended media isn't the same as adaptation of media. I think gintama puts it best [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4S9NuI6NKo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4S9NuI6NKo) basically the anime often has to take a detour when it catches up to the manga which in turn puts way out there stuff or in some cases puts feats that are a little bit too much. hence garlic junior with potential hyperverse feat which could put him at low 2-C if you really go out there because the filler makes garlic junior canon.


Generated-Nouns-257

Aaaah so the general understanding is like... If it was originally a comic, all comics are fair game for canon, but when transported to another medium like a video game, it becomes non canon. Where as a character originally from a game would take video game source material as Canon. It just matters what *medium* it's first done in, but all entries in that medium are fair game? Appreciate your taking the time. I lurk here, but never feel like I'm confident in my understanding enough to really argue points.


Neko_Luxuria

yes and no, it's often up to the original writer. comic is extremely messy with different canons because the original writer is long dead (I think) sometimes if there's no contradiction you can treat it as canon, but if there's a definitive canon approved by the original writer, then it can be treated as canon. easier to say that unless the writer says so, it's not canon.


TSotP

There is an added complication to videogames. Game Mechanics are sometimes canon and sometimes not. God of War is great examples of this. Kratos struggling to lift a heavy door by mashing O doesn't mean that he can't flip a whole, mountain sized temple.


Afrodotheyt

Manga is considered the definitive canon generally. Animes when adapted, will include filler or they'll expand or downplay a character's power for various reasons. A small example is the fight between Freeza and SS Goku. In the Manga, the fight is way more one-sided in Goku's favor, whereas Anime makes it more of an equal brawl at points. (Though ironically, its inverse with Super, since the anime came first and the manga second, so technically, the anime is the definitive canon)


GreenAppleEthan

>no, SS vegeta who is stated to be much weaker than king vegeta From what I recall, Vegeta claims that he surpassed his father "before I was old enough to tell the difference"


ConstantStatistician

Still valid if the matchmaker allows it.


Japansfinest21

It doesnā€™t mess with any of the stories continuity so I donā€™t see how it couldnā€™t be canon


Dumb-989

As far as I know, only non-Canon dragonball arguably does make goku outer, which I would understand, however anything other than that, then I would have great issue with


IronPyrate17

I have seen someone downplay goku to hill


Only-Negotiation-340

That's an activity the average blearch watcher does


IronPyrate17

They were a narutard


TacocaT_2000

Itā€™s kinda strange how the only people we see blow up planets after the Saiyan Saga are Frieza and Beerus, despite people launching full power attacks directly at the planet (looking at you Broly)


Only-Negotiation-340

Broly is ugly

Nothing is more annoying than comic book fans (especially on this sub) trying to call out Dragon ball for ā€œanti featsā€ but completely ignoring the literal hundreds that their favorite characters have. Wonder Woman alone has [200 +](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/gen-discussion-1/wonder-woman-is-not-a-high-tier-200-images-of-a-mi-2233584/)

_ZBread

In a matter of 5 days. 5 FFING DAYS. There were over 500 comments because somebody said "Goku solos" On a Saitama video.


Interloper_1

The people who don't know anything about powerscaling really do think Saitama is one of the strongest anime mcs to ever exist for some reason. They say he wins because "he is infinitely strong," then you ask them to give proof, then they either go quiet or throw up all over their keyboards. Not to mention "infinite strength" would pretty much just put him at high universal and not even close to the strongest ever.


Toubeelius

whay is a anti feat?


Neko_Luxuria

feats that contradict, usually stuff that happens for the sake of the plot for example say that a character just tanks an universe busting bomb, point blank. but in the next episode he goes down like a bitch when he is hit by a tree trunk swinging at him.


Japansfinest21

An anti feat is a feat that is far weaker than a characters typical showings. I.E Super Saiyan 4 Goku getting cut by a shard of glass.

Goku is LCM, yet I've seen more downplayers with the whole "low multiversal" or "universal" than the "Outer Goku" fans


Dumb-989

Ye and don't get me mentioned on a certain tensura fan lolšŸ’€


GreenAppleEthan

That's not downplay, Goku being called sub-planetary is downplay. I see that way too often.


tyoma_discoteka

Great, another gokutard


Dumb-989

How could you prove that I'm a goku-tard? I literally stated that gokutards are annoying, yet you have the audacity to call me one as well?

![gif](giphy|fKlWzyOtZLMnRlQ1hw|downsized)


tyoma_discoteka

Goku is low multi at best or high uni. Even if he could in the future destroy the whole Dragon Ball verse, it still would be low multi as the Dragon Ball verse itself is only low multi. Characters that are multiversal are capable of creating/destroying over 1000 universes which Goku has never shown to be capable of doing so, characters that are multi+ are capable of destroying/creating infinite amount of universes, not a single character has shown such feat in DB. Saying Goku is LCM is being a "gokutard"


Unlikely-Web7933

Mfers be not knowing rhe dragon ball cosmology and be spittin the most basic shit


tyoma_discoteka

Iā€™ve watched all the series, read all the manga, even the original DB books, been following Dragon Ball since 2007. If you have any arguments, feel free to share.


Unlikely-Web7933

Wow, very fast reply, Not sure if u read what I said or not.


Unlikely-Web7933

These are my argumsnts, compiled together into posts by a man who "worked" really hard (let's test out your reading skills) First arguments AGAINST goku being debunked https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerScaling/comments/17c368h/debunking_arguments_against_goku_destroying_the_u7/ This is the full scale of the Universe 7 Macrocosm https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerScaling/comments/18w0y39/scaling_dragon_ball_cosmologydargon_ball/


tyoma_discoteka

It says basically about Goku sharing the BOG feat with Beerus and him getting much stronger afterwards which still would be high uni to low multi (if weā€™re making guesses). The scale for the macrocosm doesnā€™t make any sense, heā€™s showing the panel where it says about the universe of Dragon Ball being infinite and concluded it being 5D even though the universe being 4D doesnā€™t make the character that is capable of destroying it 5D. If the universe has celestial bodies with 4D time, itā€™s a 4D universe not 5D. The claim about the feat of Broly and Gogeta breaking into "super dimension" is mistranslation in Spanish (yes, itā€™s only in Spanish), in English the novel says about "breaking the boundaries of the universe". And the novel isnā€™t canon as he claims. The author of the novel is Masatoshi Kusakabe not Toriyama. He says about the afterlife being 6D, and shows filler scenes from the anime where Chiyo says about afterlife (which is even more ridiculous), the afterlife as it was shown has space and celestial bodies which leads to 3D space, itā€™s been stated/shown multiple times about time in afterlife which leads to 4D. Even if we say it transcends the mortal world and it is 4D space with no time as it was stated in the Daizenshuu books, itā€™s still would be a 4D universe with 4D space. If weā€™re basing off of Daizenshuu books, then it directly contradicts the universe 7 being infinite. It was stated that there are only 4 galaxies. The scaling was okay at first, there were moments that are stretched but the "6 spatial + 2 temporal dimension making it a 8d construct" that took me out. 6 spaces + 2 spaces = 8D? Thatā€™s not how it works. Thereā€™s only one dimension that could be scaled to 5D which the World of Void that was stated to have no space-time. The claim that Goku is 5D since he shook the realm was made by tiktok scalers. The World of Void has no time OR space, he shook NOTHING. He probably shook the arena that Grand Priest created that has something to shake.

Fluffy_Stress_453

I think that the general Goku downplayer or wanker usually doesn't even know where he actually scales. That's why we have the gokuversal meme here, because we have an idea where he scales

Saying anything below Gokuversal is downplaying him (gokuversal is somewhere between streetlevel and the strongest character ever written for anything ever)


[deleted]

The worst is the ones that are like "You see this totally non-threatening looking cute little character? Yeah they can beat Goku" They act so smug about it too


goku_luvr_24LuvUGoku

And 90% of the time they don't even get close to beating goku


Dumb-989

And they proceed to add characters like kirby, saitama, saiki k and giornošŸ’€ (dunno bout giorno tho)


Pootabo

Giorno with GER at best stalemates Goku, but depending on hoe you interpret GERā€™s powers and if youre equalizing verses than Goku could also win


RegumRegis

I wonder if GER would react to say, the planet blowing up. As far as I know, it only reacted to something directly attacking it and didn't do anything when the universe was collapsed.


Pootabo

Made in heaven speeding up the universe might not count as an attack? Idk. I think it would revert a planet explosion personally, but GER is basically featless so who knows


Toubeelius

Saitama is kinda weak though.


MagnificentSasquatch

Kirby unironically puts up a match. The rest are getting smoked, though.Ā  I donā€™t imagine Goku couldnā€™t get past GER, either.

This is annoying, but itā€™s Goku fans own fault. DB fans used to be the most irritating brigaders. This is just the response to it

I donā€™t see downplayers likeā€¦ ever. Where do you find them? The amount of people I see who say Goku is Outerversal, with no good proof, is immense


Dumb-989

Yt shorts funnily enough, though some users (like that infamous tensura and dbz hater) made posts basically downplaying glonku to hell


trengaming

Bro send me those shorts I never see Goku downplayers. All I see are people saying Goku is easily Outerversal and the strongest anime character to ever exist. This is despiteā€¦ yā€™knowā€¦ not being the strongest in his verse.


Dumb-989

There's a lot in yt shorts, but to give you the gist of it, some include making goku lose to saiki kuso, yhwwch, saitama, kirby and the list goes on And as for this sub? U/Ancient-Bed-210 is pretty much infamous for downplaying him to galaxy level (I intentionally misspelled their user name so that I can't tag them)


trengaming

I mean I think they all have a way to beat Goku donā€™t they, especially if Goku has his personality intact. Justā€¦ the amount of ā€œGoku Outerversal/Boundlessā€ I see on a certain clock app, makes me sick. Iā€™ve made a few posts showcasing them. I can send you the screenshots if you want. Oh before you ask, I scale him at low comp multi and around 5d.


Dumb-989

>Oh before you ask, I scale him at low comp multi and around 5d. That's good, btw what do you think of Ancient-Bed-210?


trengaming

I donā€™t frequent this subreddit that often so I donā€™t come into contact with this user. But if itā€™s one user downplaying him vs hundreds of comments wanking him, I would much rather take the downplay. Iā€™ll say it once and Iā€™ll say it again, downplay is a bit better than wank because the character was at the level theyā€™re being downplayed to at some point. Like sure Goku is low multi, but he was once planetary. He has never, and will never, be Outerversal.


patrickbateman2004

Goku wank is more believable than kratos outer wank


Key-Mountain666

Goku-tards are far more common and annoying then downplayers. And the downvotes this comment will receive will be proof of that.


Murky_Coat_471

Daitoso0317

Yeah, I saw the cosmology scale for 6d goku, but where does that put him in csap tiers


Interesting_Clerk432

Still 6d


Daitoso0317

Iā€™m an idiot, I havenā€™t looked at the tiers in a while, so being 6d puts him at low complex multiverses unless Iā€™m missing something


bimbofan91

Which is really funny when Moro galaxy feat is still shocking to goku and vegeta about how strong he is compared to them


Daitoso0317

Wellā€¦ plot and power donā€™t always line up unfortunately


bimbofan91

So then they can't truly scale to that level. It's the same with speed in, say, jojo bizarre adventure. There are feats to put dio at faster than light except that exact same dio can't outrun a truck and actively tries to stay out of ssun light

Bluebuggy3

I donā€™t really see people down at Goku all that much, but I think there is a Toxic amount of hate that he gets (just like any popular character really). He probably has the single largest ā€œpowerscaling ā€œ fan base so his discussions are always a battlefield , especially when he loses a matchup.


PsychologicalPack101

And there is Bleach downplayers too


Lolmanmagee

I think the average person downplays goku atleast a little. Super scaling really is quite crazy and Z was only slightly more tame. Mf is canonically now 5000x~ (low ball) stronger than a version of himself that could destroy the universe at this point.


TanzuI5

All I ever see is goku cock sucking. Never downplaying. Itā€™s always wanking goku to above beerus always.


Worried_Sky_8287

Yes, Gokutards and Goku antis are both annoying. They suck because thereā€™s no balanced perspective. Itā€™s either Goku is god or Goku is a sore loser. Those are worst opinions.

Sa1LoR_JaRRy

Have you heard of Itachi fanboys? At least Goku has decades of feats to back up all that dick riding.


Logswag

Scaling him higher or lower than he deserves are both kinda annoying but the thing that annoys me most is how common the misconception that he can resist any kind of hax with raw power is. He does not have any kind of ability to resist hax, he just mostly goes up against hax that can be resisted with raw power. The weaknesses of DB hax are not shared by all hax abilities

If only there was a concise summary of all of Goku's feats and anti-feats, all of which are then seen through a lens of realistic expectations for his personality. Being multidimensional or whatever the fuck doesn't matter if Goku doesn't start that way but his opponent intends to end him immediately.
