Since it's a bit lengthy I will post the multipliers here and talk about them afterwards:
Super Saiyan: Base *50
Ascended Super Saiyan: Base *80
Ultra Super Saiyan: Base * 110
Legendary Super Saiyan: Base *120
Super Saiyan 2: Super Saiyan *2 , up to Super Saiyan *10 with mastery.
Super Saiyan 3 : Super Saiyan 2 *4
Super Saiyan God : Super Saiyan 3 * 10
Saiyan Beyond God: Base * 400 so the same as Super Saiyan 3
Super Saiyan Beyond God: Saiyan Beyond God * 5 so a half of Super Saiyan God
Super Saiyan Blue: Super Saiyan God *5
Super Saiyan God-to-Blue: Super Saiyan Blue * 1,5
Mastered Super Saiyan Blue: Super Saiyan Blue *2
Evolved Super Saiyan Blue: Mastered Super Saiyan Blue *2,5
Ultra Instinct: yet to be estimated.
1. Kaioken. While more technique than a transformation it multiplies user's base power and the strongest we see is kaioken *20 that Goku uses against Frieza on Namek. Because this transformation can damage the user's body and Super Saiyan being much stronger it's soon pretty much forgotten.
One important note is that I believe Tien uses the principle of this technique in order to make Neo Tri Beam multiple times much stronger than the original Tri Beam and much safer to the user too.
I understand Kaioken as controlling and rising ki in every cell/muscle of your body, which is why it's so hard to master and the humans didn't bother to learn it (of course we know that the real answer is Toriyama didn't care about them enough in order to give them the technique).
Therefore I can see Tien using the principle of Kaioken only on his hands, since Tri Beam also focuses all of user's energy in his hands. That's why Neo Tri Beam was able to push and give minor injuries to Semi-Perfect Cell despite Tien being over a hundred times weaker- the technique's multiplier is *100. And it's not a number I made up, it's actually written on a Dragon Ball Wiki and I liked it, it made sense for me.
2. Super Saiyan. I'm not going to write much here, the multiplier is *50 as originally stated.
I do however need to cheat in 2 cases and lower the multiplier to *5.
- Fusions. Both potara and fusion dance make an ultimate warrior, often shown in base form as extremely powerful.
We see Base Gotenks impress Piccolo and attack Super Buu in that state.
We see Vegito blow up a huge chunk of Fusion Zamasu in his "base" form (more about it later)
We see Gogeta fly around Broly's attacks in his "base" form
If we put *50 modifier on that we would have some serious powerscaling issues. I will write about it more in a post about fusions but basically we see Gotenks and Ultimate Gohan being weaker than Goku in Dragon Ball Super.
If we blew up the multipliers and said that Super Saiyan Gotenks is stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Goku then Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks would be several times stronger than Goku. I don't see Goku getting ~4 times stronger in 4 years, sorry.
Fusions also weren't made with super saiyans in mind, I would say that super saiyan puts a lot of strain of the body already, therefore the multiplier is *5 in that case..
- Goku Black. I started this project by trying to cover Zamasu saga first, since it's the most inconsistent with power levels and powerscaling. I might discuss this in another post but Base Goku Black can defeat Super Saiyan 2 Trunks (not full power) who at full power can match Super Saiyan 3 Goku, while full power Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta can defeat a Super Saiyan Goku Black.
In easier (?) to read form:
Do You see the problem here? If we keep *50 multiplier for Goku Black then it means that full power Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta is multiple times stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Goku! It wouldn't make much sense to me. Sure, it is stronger than Super Saiyan 3 but I would say maybe 25% stronger.
*5 multiplier fits to my numbers so I will keep it. And during writing this post I managed to find a way to explain it.
Goku Black's body isn't in sync when Zamasu's Saga starts. When he swapped bodies with Goku he couldn't even go Super Saiyan, but through zenkai the body started accepting the new host and unlock Goku's powers.
At the start of the saga his Super Saiyan isn't perfected yet. It is after Zamasu heals Goku Black, that's why he gets absolutely destroyed by Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta at first but later can hold his own- at first his Super Saiyan multiplier is *5, and after zenkai it's *50.
EDIT: I have a new theory to tackle the problem of Goku Black, more below in a discussion about Super Saiyan Rose.
3. Ascended Super Saiyan and Ultra Super Saiyan , known as Super Saiyan Grade 2 and 3
There are power ups over the base Super Saiyan made by Power Stressing the transformation, increasing muscle mass and by boosting the stamina drain. In my understanding you can't boost the power of Ascended Super Saiyan much more without going to Ultra Super Saiyan, this state just doesn't allow for a more flexible ki control.
There are no 'official' multipliers for these forms, I saw *75 and *90 over the base form once but I do believe that Ultra Super Saiyan is actually stronger than Super Saiyan 2 in terms of the raw power so I won't agree with them.
For me it's:
Base *80 for the Ascended Super Saiyan
Base *110 for the Ultra Super Saiyan
Worth noting that Ascended Super Saiyan is in general an improvement over a standard Super Saiyan, having increased speed and power while having a manageable stamina drain, while Ultra Super Saiyan is slower than a regular Super Saiyan, has a massive stamina drain and maybe even requires recharging to stay in the form.
What about Mastered Super Saiyan? It still has *50 multiplier, but mastering the transformation allows for just a more productive and faster training since the transformation doesn't strain the body at all, allows for powering up during the battle just as Base form does. It is huge and shows that both Goku and Gohan who were weaker than Vegeta before they all trained in the Room of Spirit and Time got much stronger than Vegeta did in 2 years in the chamber without staying a one whole year there.
4. Legendary Super Saiyan
It's a similar form to previous two but the power up multiplier is Base *120. We only see this form once in the manga, second time is in Broly's movie so it's hard to say something certain about it.
It still drains the stamina quickly, as seen with Kale losing a lot of power before fusing but I don't think it's as bad as with Ultra Super Saiyan. The speed is also probably increased, as with Ascended Super Saiyan.
I believe Kale subconsciously entered this state to stop her powerlevel from growing too much for her to control.
Broly in the movie entered this state because he couldn't overpower Super Saiyan Gogeta. Before Gogeta charged his kamehameha we see Broly come back to his senses out of fear in this form, so it might be a state one can control. Maybe the stamina draining and potential ki lowering made him calmer too.
5. Super Saiyan 2
The multiplier for this form is simple, it's *2 the power of a Super Saiyan.
However in the Super manga we see this form outperform a Super Saiyan 3. Angered Vegeta powers up his Super Saiyan 2 so much that the characters state he surpassed Goku and I do believe in that moment Vegeta was stronger than Super Saiyan 3 Goku, landing a few hits at supressed Beerus.
Later we see Future Trunks mastery of this form that allows him to match Super Saiyan 3 Goku despite being much weaker than Goku in his base form. Vegeta sees this and takes Trunks to train.
I don't have any reason to think those feats aren't the same thing and soon Vegeta trashes Super Saiyan Goku Black with this form as well. Let's call it a mastered super saiyan 2, with an additional modifier of *5, so 25% stronger than Super Saiyan 3. Which I think is fair.
6. Super Saiyan 3
I'll be using the *4 multiplier with that form, even though I personally think that the gap between super saiyan 2 is too big.
Super Saiyan 3 was a huge problem when trying to sort out Gotenks power level and I had to cheat in an interesting way in order to fit.
Main problem was Vegito fighting Super Buu - trying to set the modifiers for fusions so they would work in both DBZ and DBS was the second hardest thing after Goku Black to figure out. Even if Goten and Trunks are much weaker than Goku and Vegeta (their Super Saiyan can surprise android 18) then with all the Super Saiyan 2 and 3 multipliers they are actually surpassing Super Saiyan Vegeto. If Vegeto was using a Super Saiyan 2 then there wouldn't be a problem.
But more about that in the fusions discussion.
7. Super Saiyan God
I wanted to talk about this state a bit later but since this is the point where we need to start making up our own numbers it's good to start with first new transformation introduced in Dragon Ball Super.
We need to estimate how strong this form is- based on feats we know nothing aside of "it's many times stronger than Super Saiyan 3"
If we observe how Goku is transforming to Super Saiyan 3 in the Buu Saga and Goku Black unlocking more transformations it's a simple rule of "add more power to unlock more power".
Transformations are like barriers one needs to break with a huge amount of ki to get them. And since Super Saiyan God requires a ritual where good hearted saiyans focus their energy in one saiyan- lets treat it that way.
So we know that the power of the Super Saiyan God is similar to a power of Goku + the power of Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks and Goten. I don't count Pan because she isn't even born yet.
But we also know that the characters can output more than just their max power into attacks and so on with ki control. How much? I would say that since it's stretched in time and not released at once that the power is around *3. And of course I base that on absolutely nothing, in my old powerlevel lists it was the max ki a character can spent before dying (so the strength of suicide attacks basically).
So: 1 Goku, 3 Vegetas, 3 Gohans, 3 Gotens and 3 Trunkses. But how much is that? Well, we saw Vegeta slightly surpassing Super Saiyan 3 Goku while Gohan didn't train and is probably on a level of Super Saiyan 3 Goku from Buu Saga.
Lets assume that the power Vegeta has over Goku (not Vegeta's power) + power of Goten, Trunks and Gohan are roughly equal to Super Saiyan 3 Goku.
So now we have 1 Goku + 3 Vegetas strong as Goku, + 3 combined Gokus = 7 Gokus
Goku powered with 6 other Gokus can unlock a Super Saiyan God , so let say it has a multiplier of *10 becuse it's a nice, round number not far from *10.
That we managed to estimate more or less.
7. Saiyan beyond God / God-like Saiyan
That's a transformation I hoped to avoid with manga canon but it appears in the Ressurection F manga and actually was very helpful in a few key moments so I decided to include it.
This transformation is basically a base state empowered by the godly ki or by using some of the Super Saiyan God power without changing into that form. Personally I care about numbers more than if the ki in this state is godly or not.
So what's the multiplier? I'd say 50 times weaker than Super Saiyan Blue, as trying to go Super Saiyan in this form makes it a Super Saiyan Blue.
The multiplier of this form is exactly the same as Super Saiyan 3. It works pretty nicely like that so I'll leave it like this. It also has a nice ring to it with "well a saiyan with weakest god powers can match the highest transformation a mortal saiyan can get, not counting maxed super saiyan 2"
Why was that transformation helpful and when it occurs? Several cases, some I had a huge problem with when not including this transformation.
- Ressurection F fight between "base" Goku and final form Frieza. Frieza was absurdly powerful compared to Super Saiyan Gohan and a regular base Goku wouldn't win with a Super Saiyan Gohan, therefore the godly form was needed.
- Zamasu Saga. "Base" Vegito managed to blow up Fused Zamasu's arm with a huge blast. The numbers didn't work with my made up fusion multipliers there without this form
- During tournament of power we see tired "base" Goku and Vegeta throwing their last resort attacks on Jiren. Since it was similar to when they trained against Whis I do believe it's not their base form but something much, much stronger, especially that a tired Jiren is actually pushed back by this.
- During the Broly movie. We see Super Saiyan Vegeta being overpowered by Broly's Rage mode while Goku starts the fight in a "base" form and actually managing to land some solid hits. It would be a great insult to Vegeta if Goku was in a many times weaker state but did much better so to help Vegeta regain some pride lets say Goku was in this state back then.
8. Super Saiyan beyond God / God-like Super Saiyan
Ok, first of all I'm sorry for including this form. This is a Super Saiyan form that got infused with Super Saiyan God ki, but not to the point where it can become a Super Saiyan Blue, which is an evolution of this state. From what we saw in an anime and the first Super movie it's actually weaker than Super Saiyan God, as Goku in order to block Beerus big blast attack managed to transform to Super Saiyan God for a second.
It really made it to the list for 2 reasons and both are movies, that are borderline manga canon in general:
- To make the movie Battle of the Gods more canon, even if manga didn't show up Goku ever losing the Super Saiyan God transformation, just getting weaker in it.
- To help Vegeta's pride as with the above transformation- Goku is shown fighting Broly with his Super Saiyan transformation, that was doing a way better job than Vegeta's Super Saiyan.Super Saiyan God before that.
This form is 5 times stronger than Saiyan Beyond God, so 2 times weaker than Super Saiyan God.
9. Super Saiyan Blue
This form is rather easy to estimate. During a fight between Vegeta and Hit it is stated that due to transforming twice within minutes Vegeta lost a huge majority of his power and that he's around 10% of his max power. We also learn that he would be stronger by going to Super Saiyan God instead.
Which allows for an easy estimate that a regular Super Saiyan Blue is 5 times stronger than Super Saiyan God.
But what else do we know about this form?
It drains ki quckly, probably quicker than Ascended Super Saiyan, but still less than Frieza's not trained Golden Frieza, which allowed Goku and Vegeta to win with the stronger tyrant.
Despite Goku and Vegeta training for 3 years with that form they didn't find a way to lower the energy drain. Even after eating a senzu bean Vegeta loses energy very fast when fighting Goku Black.
We also know that the initial transformation explodes with energy, but the energy of the Super Saiyan Blue quickly lowers and sets at a more stable level.
This form can be mastered though, and keep all that initial power while eliminating the energy drain by trapping the plasmic aura inside the body. I give it a *2 multiplier
so a Mastered Super Saiyan Blue = *2 Super Saiyan Blue.
And no energy drain to boot, sweet.
Mastered Super Saiyan Blue can be power stressed as well, but it was shown to be extremely harsh on the body. I don't think Goku was more than 50% stronger by doing that.
10. Super Saiyan Rose
It was a very hard transformation to tackle. Apparently the transformation isn't much different from Super Saiyan Blue, but the way it's obtain definitely is + it looks like it doesn't strain the body as much as Super Saiyan Blue.
In order to make sense of it's power level I'll share some quotes from Dragon Ball Wiki
In the Dragon Ball Super manga, it is shown that when a Super Saiyan's power surpasses the power of the Super Saiyan God form, it will naturally progress into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.
It is unknown if Goku Black can still become an ordinary Super Saiyan, and what level of power it would possess, as when Goku's god-enhanced Super Saiyan form evolved into Super Saiyan Blue, it also caused him to re-acquire his non-god-enhanced Super Saiyan form.
What did we already state and know about Goku Black:
- He's stronger than not mastered Super Saiyan 2 in his base state.
- His Super Saiyan at first is a bit weaker than mastered Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta.
- He gets wrecked by Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, but after one zenkai he can put a fight against Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta.
- Then he transforms into Super Saiyan Rose after another zenkai and absolutely dominates Vegeta.
- Later he gets dominated by Super Saiyan God-to-Blue Vegeta.
If we treat his Super Saiyan like a regular Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Rose like a regular Super Saiyan Blue then Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black is 400 times stronger than Super Saiyan Goku Black.
Which would mean that Vegeta's God-to-Blue switching also makes the user 400 times stronger. And Perfected Super Saiyan Blue is 600+ times stronger than a regular Super Saiyan Blue.
That would be insane.
The above statements from Dragon Ball Wiki help with figuring it out.
Super Saiyan Goku Black is so powerful that his power surpasses Super Saiyan God Goku/Vegeta, which with added Zamasu's godly powers make it work like a Super Saiyan God.
So in Goku Black's case we treat his Super Saiyan transformation as a Super Saiyan God.
Therefore Super Saiyan Rose mimicks puting a Super Saiyan Blue on top of Super Saiyan God, so Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black is 5 times stronger than Super Saiyan Goku Black.
EDIT: New theory
Since now I treat Saiyan Beyond God and Super Saiyan Beyond God as "official" transformations with their own numbers now I see it like this:
Goku Black we see for the first time isn't yet fully compatible with his own body. He's in a Saiyan Beyond God state (which allows him to beat Trunks without transforming and can fight SSj 2 Vegeta for a second without going Super Saiyan) but it's weaker than what it's supposed to be.
When Goku Black goes Super Saiyan we see him powering up during the battle with Vegeta a couple of times (his aura exploding with power) with Trunks being all concerned that Goku Black is stronger than before, while still being outclassed by Vegeta.
So Goku Black is fighting with Super Saiyan Beyond God state, with his power rapidly adapting during the battle to the level his ki is supposed to be in this form. After first zenkai after healing the power is surpassing what a Super Saiyan Beyond God is supposed to be and gets on a level of Super Saiyan God. Since we know that Super Saiyan God can match Super Saiyan Blue at least in speed, Goku Black can put up a fight against rapidly weakening Vegeta.
After a second zenkai his power in his Super Saiyan Beyond God surpasses even Super Saiyan God, allowing him to unlock Super Saiyan Rose.
Some numbers to show how I see it (all already in milions so add 6 zeroes behind them):
Saiyan Beyond God Goku Black: 8,400 (21 base Goku's power, 25%)
Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta: 9,000
Super Saiyan Beyond God Goku Black: 42,000
Full Power Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta: 45,000
Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta: 1,800,000
Super Saiyan Beyond God Goku Black: 42,000 -> 168,000 (goes to full power of this form)
Super Saiyan Beyond God Goku Black: 450,000 (after zenkai unlocked the power of SSG)
Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black: 2,250,000 (after a second zenkai his power surpassed that of SSG, unlocking the Rose transformation)
11. Super Saiyan God-to-Blue
Like Kaioken it's more of a technique than transformation.
It was stated and hinted a few times that Super Saiyan God is faster/as fast as a regular Super Saiyan Blue and doesn't share it's stamina issues. Therefore in order to beat Goku Black, Vegeta through intense training developed a technique where he stays in Super Saiyan God and powers up to Blue for a very brief periods in order to conserve stamina and utilize more of that initial Super Saiyan Blue power.
This technique is better than a regular Super Saiyan Blue, but weaker than Perfected Super Saiyan Blue.
The multiplier is in between- Super Saiyan Blue * 1,5.
12. Super Saiyan Blue Evolved
That's an upgrade over Mastered Super Saiyan Blue, reached by Vegeta when he was yet again behind Goku when it comes to power.
It's definitely at least two times stronger than a Mastered Super Saiyan Blue, since we see Vegeta give Jiren a good fight, doing way more than Goku and Hit at the same time previously.
Since this form wasn't used much or talked about, for now I give it *2,5 multiplier over a Mastered Super Saiyan Blue.
I think it might be similar in power to Ultra Instinct Sign, since Jiren commented that Vegeta with this form was stronger than anyone else aside of Goku's state. Which might suggest Vegeta at that point is stronger than power stressed Kale' initial power.
13. Ultra Instinct Sign
For now I will avoid talking about Ultra Instinct and Jiren's max power so there's gonna be a hole in the power level list. Jiren is definitely stronger than a Super Saiyan Broly, but I would say weaker than Legendary Super Saiyan Broly since Goku comments that Broly could be stronger than Beerus without mentioning Jiren, so I have a place where I can put Jiren's power when it's needed. Broly will be much easier to estimate than Jiren.
So treat this post as work in progress. Thank You for reading, see You soon.
