Now, with Dragon Ball Daima set between the events of Z and Super , the characters have suffered a major setback: they've been transformed into children due to a dark wish. While the anime features interesting plot twists, it faces a critical problem: the characters' power levels
The history of power levels in Dragon Ball
In the early days of the franchise, during classic Dragon Ball , power levels were quite modest. Even so, characters like Goku and Piccolo were already capable of destroying entire cities with energy attacks, without needing transformations. In Dragon Ball Z , especially in the Frieza Saga, power levels exploded, reaching levels impossible to calculate. However, in Daima , the lack of clear numbers didn't stop fans from questioning the current strength of Goku and Vegeta.
Goku and Vegeta: The “Nerf” continues
In Dragon Ball Daima , we saw Goku and Vegeta reach Super Saiyan 1 and 2 levels, with Vegeta even revealing his Super Saiyan 3 transformation for the first time. These forms were enough to defeat two of the three Tamagami and retrieve the Dragon Balls from the Demon Realm. However, in episode 15, the situation changes drastically. The Z-Fighters are attacked by Gomah's troops, with Vegeta nearly being killed by a single energy weapon blast. This scenario is hard to believe, considering the power they must still possess.
Super Saiyans are still super powerful
Even with childlike bodies and the gravity of the Demon Realm limiting their abilities, Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo remain formidable forces. Characters with much lower power levels, such as Nappa, could easily destroy cities, while Vegeta, with a power level of 18,000, could obliterate planets. In Daima , the Z-Fighters faced enemies capable of defeating Dabura, an opponent equivalent to Gohan at Super Saiyan 2 level. Therefore, it is incongruous that ordinary soldiers pose a real threat to them.
