Today, let’s come to an interesting scientific problem that is calculating the strength of the characters in Dragon Ball.
Surely Dragon Ball is a manga/anime that almost all of us know. However, the true strength of the fictional characters from this work is not easy to imagine in real life. Today, we will do some simple calculations to make it easier for you to imagine this power.
How strong are Dragon Ball characters
First let’s recall in the Saiyan arc, Vegeta stated that he could easily blow up the Earth with his 18,000,000 unit of power. The equivalent of an actual energy level of 2.25 billion billion billion billion joules (2.25 x 10^32 ). Where a normal human’s punch is about 37.5 joules, which means that in his 18,000,000 power state, Vegeta can release 60 million billion billion times more energy than normal people.
In the final transformation state with 100% strength, Vegete’s stats are now 120,000,000, meaning that with a full attack, he can turn 6,666 Earths into dust.
Dragon Ball characters get insanely stronger over time
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Meta Cooler (Frieza’s brother) has a power stat of 10 billion, which means he can give away 555,500 Earths at once. This has been partly proven when with just one finger, Frieza blew up the whole planet Vegeta. So in her second transformation, Frieza possesses a power stat of 1,000,000, which is equivalent to destroying 55 Earths in one move.
Still not over, in Battle of Gods, in Super Sayan God Son Goku confronts God of Destruction Beerus, these two characters through three punches, can erase the whole universe. Erasing here is to make the whole universe disappear, including the space-time background.
With current science, we can’t calculate how much energy it takes to do it. But to make this easier to imagine, let’s try to do a calculation to see how much energy it takes to “crush” all the matter particles in the observable universe.
Our universe contains 10^80 particles, to destroy particles we need the enemy of a particle to be antiparticles, so we need 10^80 antiparticles. Antiparticles have the same mass as a particle, so we need to create a mass equivalent to that of the part of matter in our observable universe, or 10^53 kg, so that the energy needed to making that mass in terms of E = mc^2 is 3*10^61 Joules. And we know that Son Goku’s Super Sayan God state can generate a lot more energy than that.
After being resurrected from hell, Frieza himself is a genius of combat, having trained non-stop for 4 months to achieve the ultimate transformation state – Golden Frieza. He beat Goku’s Super Sayan God Super Sayan, ie Super Sayan Blue. Meanwhile, Super Sayan Blue is proven to be more complete and many times stronger than Super Sayan God.
So: Golden Frieza > Super Sayan Blue > Super Sayan God. But just in the state of Sayan God, the impulse from Goku’s punch alone is enough to tear the universe apart. Not to mention that, after training and arduous competition, Frieza has become more and more perfect and his strength is now many times greater than the original Golden Frieza.
As can be seen, the true strength of these characters is at the level of MULTI-UNIFEROUS DESTROY through just a few attacks, although in the anime these characters “seem” not as strong as they actually are. The fact that these characters fight but the whole universe is not broken is really inexplicable.
At a weak level, hitting three punches can destroy the entire universe, but when stronger, it only destroys the arena, it is too absurd. From all this it is possible that the Dragon Ball author made the calculation of physical strength somewhat fictitious.
