So basically, this chapter has Goku giving a senzu bean to Moro and trying to give a guy who committed numerous genocides chances to come quietly to the prison he escaped in the first place, everyone and their mother yelling at him to stop screwing around and overall being annoyed with his shit, yet another transformation and fight sequence that only serve to drag out the arc, and Toyotaro once again copying Cell arc by having the villain basically take the planet hostage with a ridiculous disformation. That about cover it?

Bottom tier chapter even by the standards of Dragon Ball Super. Let's hope Vegeta finally get his balls up and separate Moro from the planet.

Thing is, this would be the perfect time to give Vegeta a big hand in the win. He'd be defeating Moro via technique, not battle power, leaving Galu solely at the top of the food chain.

Super almost always disappoints. It wouldn't surprise me if Vegeta learning spirit fission turned out to be in vain like Galu's Mafuba

I know Moro didn't use the power for too long, but for the time that he did, he's at least as strong as Merus right there, right?

Which brings me back to Beerus: reading the chapters and watching how Beerus is observing, he definitely still comes off as the topdog. It's just...well, him being stronger than UI Goku would put him above Merus as well. Trainee Angel or not, he's still an Angel. Is Beerus really that ridiculous?

There's a reason why Toyotaro answered that Vegetto being possibly stronger than Beerus was just Kaioshit's opinion - they want wiggle room to later retcon Beerus' power. It's Super's entire prerogative after all. Remember when Beerus used 70% of his power on Godku? remember when he was intimidated by Blue Kaioken x 2? Those things mean nothing and soon enough, the Vegetto statement might not either.

I know V-Jump said Blue Vegito=Beerus a few months back, but even that feels outdated now.

And V-Jump's credibility is obviously trash when they say that post-Recoome/Ginyu Vegeta is half as strong as Freeza, that Nail's power level was 4,200 and that Gohan Boo = SSJ3 Goku :ha :ha

Not to mention Shonen Jump and V-Jump alike randomly flip-flop on whether Vegetto is equal, stronger, or weaker than Gogeta while the Daizenshuu and OG manga have been consistently in the Potara > Dance Fusion camp.

To be fair with those examples, Vegeta's level could be referring to him at the time he killed Jheese (which wouldn't be contradictive when he was assured of him being the one to draw closest to becoming a Super Saiyan when he should've sensed 180k Galu) and Nail's level seemed to definitely just refer to his suppressed state when considering the image used. Not defending V-Jump's other inaccuracies, though these ones definitely aren't the best examples.

Even when Nail was suppressed Kuririn said compared to other Namekians, only he possessed a power that was amazing by comparison - which doesn't sound like he's only 1.4x stronger than the average Namekian fighter (e.g. complete fodder to Dodoria). It's also pretty suspicious that it's just one 0 away from Nail's actual batle power. Goku's 150 million Daizenshuu level refers to his full power as a SSJ rather than whatever level he was dicking around with against 50% Freeza, so I don't really see the 250K power referring to his Jheese level as anything but an excuse. I just think V-Jump looked at how Vegeta was more strained after an even struggle with Freeza and for whatever reason decided that a 2x+ gap was fitting similar to the infamous 4,000 Nappa power level that Kaboom and the other Kanzenshuu fags have been using every excuse to defend simply because it's been official ever since Shonen Jump published that power for Nappa.

Regardless, the point stands that most V-Jump levels are about as accurate as 1.3 million is for FnF Freeza :cena

I am thinking of the following string:

Whis >> Merus = UI Goku (Current) = UI Moro> = Gogeta PSSJB (Arc Broly) >> Vegetto SSJB (Arc Zamasu)> = Broly LSSJ (Arc Broly)> = Beerus> = UI Goku (ToP)> = Jiren (Beyond Limits)> Moro (OG73I)> Jiren (FP)> = Vermoud> = Moro (FP) = UI Sing Goku (Beyond Limits) >> Moro (Initial) = UI Sing Goku> Vegeta SSJBE (Post Yadart).

Moro (OG73I) will likely individually defeat Broly LSSJ and Jiren (Beyond Limits) due to their increased durability and magic. Beerus can defeat all 3 individually due to his semi mastery of the UI and because of the Hakai. Who knows if Beerus started training, after seeing how he is very close to being reached by some mortals in the ToP. That would explain why Beerus is not so concerned currently.

I have a great feeling that in the next Arc, Freeza will be on the level of The Gods of Destruction.

1.4x the average Namekians is pretty amazing by comparison, especially when how much of a gap is required for certain feats or classifications tends to be purely dependant on the plot when considering battle powers are far from a linear scale.

Goku's 150 million Daizenshuu level refers to his full power as a SSJ rather than whatever level he was dicking around with against 50% Freeza, so I don't really see the 250K power referring to his Jheese level as anything but an excuse.
It can be argued that Vegeta wasn't able to access his level against Freeza as his full power until the nap to relieve his fatigue, so the 250k against Jheese would still fit as his full power at that time. Granted, I admit the likelihood of this is questionable when the same page displays levels for Gohan and Kuririn clearly meant to be what they're at during the battle against Freeza.

It's still one shot material to any named person in Freeza's army aside from suppressed Appule. And Kuririn and Gohan weren't worrying for Nail's life when Vegeta was picking a fight with him. I'd put him closer to 28,000 when he's suppressed than 4200.

Exactly. I think it's just one of many hundreds, maybe thousands of manga guidebook statements clearly having been written by people who didn't put in enough thought. In Kenshin's Kanzenban guidebook, they put that cannon arm guy that Kenshin always defeated with utter ease, who couldn't even blitz Yahiko - as a 4/5 on the battle power scale which is on par with the likes of Usui, Jin'e and pre-Hiko training non-Battosai Kenshin. Compare that to Gein getting only a 3/5 rating despite having better feats and requiring SOME effort from a master like Aoshi to defeat, and we can see the guidebooks had their heads up their asses. There's also Mikami from Death Note being given an 8/10 knowledge rating (which is higher than even Mello) despite the fact that he was the bane behind Light's defeat and the only thing he did that ever could qualify as smart would be encrypting the messages he sent as the stand-in for Kira. And these are just examples from two series. Vegeta being half the power he should be if he can egg on Freeza to transform and presumably at least get up to 650,000~700,000 is a joke, Nappa being 2x weaker than base Goku is a joke if Goku calls him an unbelievably tough bastard and says he can't finish this fast.

Bottom line is, guidebook statements only carry weight if they don't contradict the manga, just like something like the DBS anime only carries any weight if it fits in with the original (pre-Tracetaro) manga in my opinion.

Vegeta was SSJBE or PSSJB in his first match against Moro?

It was SSBE looking back at it. Couldn't remember if he displayed the distinctive aura against Moro, but he did, further validating the idea that Moro's "toughness" isn't just to do with his level of Ki.

True, but some of that harshness may have been due to Moro being far from close to his prime, but it's still a good point. I still think Moro (OG73I) is close to the full power of Broly LSSJ and Beerus.

That would be a greater testament to how far above his power his durability is, if anything.

So in the Anime, we're told and shown you can sense the Ki of a God if you're a deity or have a high enough power to do it.

Is this concept ever explored in the Manga? Because I'm not seeing Goku or Vegeta show any capabilities of sensing Gods. When Moro started clashing with UI Goku, Vegeta could only guess it was Goku because he couldn't sense anything. Do they have to actually be in their God forms to sense that type of Ki?

It was noted that the quality of Ki changed from normal to God Ki during Goku and Toppo's exhibition match when Galu went SSG, so it seems apparent that it's still not forgotten in the manga. Most likely, those who have learnt to harness it can sense God Ki in all forms rather than just those that utilise it. UI is most likely on some different tier or type of God Ki to that used by the Godly SSJ forms.

Ny guess is that they nees to be utulizing god ki (e.g. using God or Blue) to sense god ki in the manga/movies continuity. They outright said Goku was now a god in BoG, so it'd be wack for him to be unable to sense what a normal Kaio or even a planet's Kami can (anime wise).

Unless, of course, Super contradicts this and says you can't even sense godly ki as a mortal even with UI

Wouldn't put it past them tbh

Looks like Vegeta is going to be the one to save things with Spirit Fission after all, assuming Toyotaro decides to use common sense for once.

Also, Beerus being a useless plot device as usual :alex2. I guess him stepping in and the plot needing to remove him would suggest his power's indeed above Current UI Goku and Planet Moro, confirming they probably haven't surpassed Broly in raw power (or the manga's going to get on board with constantly retconning Beerus' strength too :troll).

If I had a Death Note I'd just make Toyotaro sudoku after ending the chapter at Moro exploding and killing everyone :troll2
