I think after some DB threads get concluded, I'll make a thread trying to approve power levels
Many arguments stem from "Cui and Vegeta have a small gap in PL yet Vegeta can easily defeat him???" even tho there are fights even without using PLs and just normal calculations can be said the same, and "Well characters like beginning of Z Goku would be Large Planet level downscaling from Frieza's feat which is highly inconsistent and isn't backed up by feats" even tho characters can still downscale via using PLs as non linear the same way, for example:
Kaio-ken x10 (Kaio-ken is accepted as increasing PLs linearly) Namek Saga Goku has a PL of 900,000 which is above First Form Frieza's PL of 530,000, who destroyed Planet Vegeta
- 203.785214866 Ronnatons (Dwarf Star level)
Namek Saga Base Goku
- 20.3785214866 Ronnatons (Dwarf Star level)
Saiyan Saga Base Goku is
10x less the strength of his Namek Saga self
- 2.03785214866 Ronnatons (Large Planet level)
Beginning of Z Goku is
more than 1/20th the strength of his Saiyan Saga self
- 101.892607433 Yottatons (Large Planet level)
Piccolo Jr Saga Goku (unweighted) should be comparable to his Beginning of Z self, albeit is weaker, as his Kamehameha can be raised into a Battle Power of 910, which is greater than Beginning of Z Goku's base of 416, and Piccolo Jr can tank it
- 101.892607433 Yottatons (Large Planet level)
King Piccolo Saga Goku is
more than half the strength of his Piccolo Jr Saga self, King Piccolo is also equal to him
- 50.9463037165 Yottatons (Large Planet level)
So you can very easily even get King Piccolo Saga characters up to
Large Planet level even by using PLs non-linearly, this is an issue that isn't even about using PLs linearly but just downscaling via multipliers in general, this is an issue that can be discussed another time
