![]() Power Levels may not have a had a place in the series after Freeza, but maybe we can all learn something about their use as a narrative tool by going from each Power Level, lowest to highest. Of course, there’s no way of knowing for sure, but the context behind each number lends itself to a more involved reading. It’s easy to look at those numbers on a surface level and move on, but perhaps Toriyama is actually saying something with each Power Level. Throughout the Saiyan and Freeza arcs, several numbers get tossed out for several characters. Like it or not, Power Levels are a part of the Dragon Ball fan culture and deserve some form of acknowledgment and analysis. While there are many fans who completely avoid Power Level debates, there are just as many who dedicate their entire fandom to the series’ number scaling. Fans argue about the importance of Power Levels, whether or not they ruined the series, what Akira Toriyama’s intent with them was, and what any given character’s Power Level is on any given day of the week. ![]() Power Levels, also more accurately known as Battle Power, are those pesky numbers you see fans arguing about all the time in the Dragon Ball fandom.
