Disclaimer: This is a theory about a FICTIONAL character. Despite the title; I technically cannot confirm any of this since a FICTIONAL character is not something that can be precisely analyzed. You are entitled to your own opinions, but I will report any threatening, hostile, salty comments or flamewars. So please behave.

DBZ is one of those franchises who, for better or worse, have achieved popularity so massive that they are basically immortalized as their companies squeeze out those juicy 'Member Berries.

With that said, DBS is rather vague about how absurd Goku's 'power level' has risen to. But I do have 3 theories as to his power.

Now for the record;

*I will not be considering Goku's durability or speed, I'm just measuring his power.

*I am measuring Goku's power in Megatons. 1 MT powerful enough to be classified as a hydrogen bomb and 50 MT is the blast of the largest bomb ever: the Tsar Bomba. I will NOT measure Goku's power level; power levels make no sense and are inconsistent.

*I am not considering the theories or statements about 'shaking the World of Void' or Bergamo that assume Goku to be of infinite power: there are so many flaws to these statements. Goku and these characters still can and have been overpowered by conventional and physical means, so by that fact alone, none of them are of infinite power.

*I will be using Death Battle and the official DBZ/DBS canons as evidence. I will NOT use fan-made theories or anything from other websites like NarutoForums. Most of these other theories absurdly overestimate 'facts'.

*Since DBS began shortly after the Buu saga, i'm assuming any gain or loss to Goku's 'power level' is minimal and won't impact my results

*Keep in mind that these numbers are so massive that they are virtually incomprehensible; so I don't want to hear 'I grossly underestimated'. Again, this is just a theory, I cannot confirm any of this. If you consider planet-busters to be 'weak', then your standards are too high to begin with.

And I don't want to be 'that guy' but I know people are going to be talking about Superman. The Death Battle Fanon wiki page (I recommend this wiki for almost any death-battle style debate) already confirms, multiple times, that Superman is of infinite magnitude. But it's also very clear that Superman is designed to be flexible and inconsistent with his limitations to make conflicts and crossovers, like Death Battle or Justice League, to be more entertaining. So as Boomstick says: 'writers do whatever the hell they please'.
