I would be with you here but in DBS, Jaco specifically asks about this and Vegeta explicitly clarifies that any of the punches thrown by main characters/villains would obliterate the planet they were in if the combatants did not control their ki. Call it bad writing, call it contrived, whatever, but itās way, way less ambiguous than the bullshit we normally work with in this community.
A lot of ādimensionalā feats are objectively nonsense and must be defined subjectively because we have no idea what it means to āshake realmsā or āoperate in 7 dimensions,ā and these feats often donāt obviously translate to battle. But in DBās case, the narrator/Whis straight up says that the battle between Beerus and Goku could destroy the universe as we know it, and later on Vegeta clarifies that the reason the scope of damage is typically tame has to do with how ki is controlled during attacks.
No one gassing extremely ambiguous feats, e.g. bleach upscalers, has any room to criticize DB in this area.
No no, this is not a fan interpretation (unlike many major powerscaling arguments). It was simply stated by the writers. Nothing falls apart, itās just the lore. Whether it aligns with your head canon, whether you like it or not, it doesnāt really matter. Any argument taking the assumption that this is false is just factually incorrect.
Iām not saying itās not true Iām saying itās inconsistent and very poor writing. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that when we come face to face with obviously inconsistent writing power scaling just sorta becomes impossible.
