This list is on point ! I thought there'd be something I disagree with, but nope. Good job, CC.

Great list. Just skimmed though that now and seems right to me. Only thing how broad are the tiers? Seems very broad. You put for example Gotenks and Gohan-Boo in the same tier or Super-Saiyan and Super-Saiyan 2 Vegetto in the same one.

It all depends on how relevant it is overall in terms of the events of the manga and how they stack up as a whole in Super. Pretty much all the Boo Arc top tiers are Low/Bottom tier by Super standards, so there's little reason not to lump them all together.

I don't think there's much I can say, that I find weird. Maybe Daishinkan being in the same tiers as the Angels, but bring implied to be way above them but that's fine since you're probably using that same rule there.

Pretty much. All we know about him is that he can stomp Whis, but by how much above him he really is isn't elaborated on. Would feel meaningless to give him his own tier without the feats for him to back it up.

Actually what's true Golden Freeza? :troll :troll :troll
It's what he called himself when in his Golden form in the ToP Arc, so rolling with that terminology seems appropriate for that version of himself.

Couldn't Future Zamasu be added to just below ESSJ2 Trunks? Galu didn't make the gap between the two seem very big, and he turned SSJG to fight that Zamasu after all.

Him turning SSG could've just been a precaution for Zamasu being able to paralyse him whilst being able to attack. As for Future Trunks, that could be the case if we knew whether or not Trunks' version of the form works the same as his dad's, seeing as how even by Super standards Trunks having developed such a convenient version of SS2 seems too much of a major asspull.
Whilst Goku not saying "far stronger" could warrant me boosting Zamasu's ranking, I don't think it's solid enough for me to bother placing him differently from where the anime portrayed his present self as being, especially when Goku deemed SSJ as enough to fight him with in the first fight before Zamasu brought out the paralysis.

Zamasu had a rod through the stomach when Galu powered down to SSJ though. Plus Galu avoids his telekinesis even as a SSJG, which I doubt would be of that much threat to him if he were just on regular SSJ2 tier.

Why is Sidara not treated as fodder God in the manga? That's kind-of good.
The Hakaishin battle royale seemed to imply he had the best defensive abilities amongst his peers, plus he wasn't oneshotted by Belmod. Still likely the weakest Hakaishin, but not by leagues.

It still seems perplexing that Goku would still maintain a powered up form rather than reverting to base if he believed himself to have dealt a fatal wound.

It's also worth noting that Zamasu admits how physically powerless he is compared to "you all", with the wording of this seeming to imply he was factoring Trunks into that equation as well.

He later seemed pretty confident when Trunks said he could stall him and even claimed he was underestimated, which makes me think he doesn't think of himself as much weaker than Trunks. (Also, I'm pretty sure in Japanese he uses the more vague term "omae-tachi" or something like that.) Plus, in regards to Galu maintaining SSJ, it seems he had no intention to kill Zamasu (even saying it wasn't too late) and probably planned to heal him with the Senzu after Zamasu surrenders considering Galu's disdain for killing his enemies.

Why is SSJB Vegetto so high? I thought he was decently matched for MZ..

Anime only. In the manga Zamasu was at best 2-3x stronger than the SSJBs.

What Kenshi said. It's the list for the manga continuity, where SSB Vegetto stomped Zamasu as easily as he did Boo and was stated to be above Beerus.

What's with Loss of Shoki Vegeta? IIRC he just lost to Super-Saiyan Goku-Black in a straight-up fight. Vegeta was at a disadvantage but they still traded blows.

It's due to a few factors I believe his performance was down to a loss in Shoki (Right Mindset), one of the 3 integral components of Ki.

1. Goku's words during the rematch emphasise Vegeta's performance being due to using SSB in bursts and any training gains he made being an afterthought, suggesting that if he got any stronger from the Rosat, it wasn't by much.

2. Following on from that, both Goku and Vegeta performed about equal against Merged Zamasu, or if anything Goku performed better, despite Vegeta having got in an extra training session.

3. The key factor to this belief; Vegeta's words when Black goes SSR. Vegeta's only reaction is to just tell Goku to deal with Zamasu so Black can't be healed, rather than being in any way intimidated by the fact that someone who matched him in SSB got even stronger. As such, I'd base SSB Vegeta's performance against SSJ Black on his Shoki depleting due to his frustration that Black was just going to get healed after each beatdown.
