Off topic but on DBZ... isn't it nuts how in the beginning he was barely over 9k and by the time he fought Kid Buu he was in the billions nearly

Goku used the Dominion power level calculation system, so as his opponents got stronger, his power level was automatically adjusted to be slightly higher.

The thing is, they never realized his opponents' power levels would get THAT high, so they had to rush out a narrative about "super saiyan" or something like that to explain it. Then, when Goku cheating to multiply his power level by 50 wasn't enough, we got silliness like "super saiyan 2" and "super saiyan god super saiyan".

It all checks out, though; there is no evidence of widespread power level inflation. Goku trained as hard as Biden campaigned, you see.

Well we got Super Saiyan 2 AND ascended Saiyan; Trunks, Goku, and Vegeta could turn ss2 but Gohan figured out how to keep his ss1 body and have the ss2 power level. Man I miss when they were good and not just an over exaggeration of the series. I hated the movies for DB Super and the animation budget was so constrained the episodes were ass. Looked like shit I drew in 3rd grade.
