Since the beginning of Goku and Vegeta Dragon Ball universe has evolved. The young man went from a simple fighter to reach impressive levels such as Super Saiyans 3 , Super Saiyans God , Super Saiyans Blue and even Ultra Instinct .
Now, with Dragon Ball Daima set between the events of Z and Super , the characters have suffered a major setback: they were turned into children due to a dark wish. Although the anime brings interesting twists, it faces a critical problem: the characters' power levels
The History of Power Levels in Dragon Ball
At the beginning 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 the need for transformations. In Dragon Ball Z , especially in the Frieza Saga, power numbers exploded, reaching levels that were impossible to calculate. However, in Daima , the absence of clear numbers hasn't stopped fans from questioning Goku and Vegeta's current strength.
Goku and Vegeta: The “Nerf” continues
In Dragon Ball Daima , we saw Goku and Vegeta reach the levels of Super Saiyans 1 and 2, 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 recover 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 almost being killed by a simple 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, like Nappa, could easily destroy cities, while Vegeta, with a power of 18,000, could obliterate planets. In Daima , the Z-Fighters faced enemies capable of defeating Dabura, an opponent equivalent to Gohan at the Super Saiyans 2 level. Therefore, it is incongruous for ordinary soldiers to pose a real threat to them.
Will the anime be able to justify this inconsistency before the end? For more news and updates about the Dragon Ball , keep following AnimeNew !
