# Powerscaling In A Nutshell... This is the WORST

> Source: [Powerscaling In A Nutshell... This is the WORST](https://youtube.com/watch?v=VpjxTI-1yq8)

## Summary

The video is a rant about power scaling in anime, where the creator criticizes cross-series power scaling and the toxic behavior of fans, especially Dragon Ball Z fans. He argues that power scaling is convoluted and often leads to ridiculous conclusions, urging viewers to avoid it or keep it casual.

### Key Points

- **Power scaling is cancer** [0:55] — The creator states that power scaling is the worst thing encountered on anime social media, calling it disgusting.
- **Cross-series power scaling is the worst** [1:16] — He argues that comparing characters from different series is impossible due to different power systems, leading to agenda-driven arguments.
- **Dragon Ball Z fans are the worst** [4:22] — DBZ fans are described as toxic and simplistic, relying on 'planetary' feats without nuance.
- **Ridiculous power scaling example** [6:09] — He recounts a call where someone claimed pre-time skip Luffy was universal based on flawed logic (light speed, multipliers, and fighting a 'universal' opponent).
- **Advice: don't power scale** [9:25] — He advises against power scaling, or at most doing it casually with friends, and not making serious threads.

### Conclusion

Power scaling is a toxic and pointless activity that often leads to absurd arguments, especially across different series. The creator suggests avoiding it entirely or keeping it lighthearted.

yo so i'm gonna be honest with y'all man
like i was really thinking to
contemplate you know making content like
this or like i'm being more of myself
and i was like you know what why not why
not just be yourself sinner and i am
being myself in all my other videos
right but it's at a point where you guys
know how it is man you go to a job and
you know you're
black
you got to turn on the white voice the
corbett voice y'all know what it is you
know so it was like yo what's going on
guys it's your boy sensei inc like you
know what i mean like that's kind of how
it is but in today's video i'm gonna try
to be as openly black and as openly
ghetto as i want to be you know what i
mean and i'm gonna see what happens i'm
gonna see how y'all respond to it cause
some of y'all might not like it and
that's cool but if y'all don't like this
video you're racist and i just want you
to know that you know if you don't like
this video you're racist
but anyways you didn't hear that from me
now that we got that long ass winded
intro out the way today's video is about
power scaling power scaling is literal
cancer
it's probably the worst thing that i've
ever encountered when going on any part
of anime twitter anime instagram anime
facebook sometimes but that's besides
the point my point being is that power
scaling is completely and utterly
disgusting for instance let's go to the
very first cliche thing that we can
think of when we think of power scaling
say you're having a conversation with
one of your friends right y'all chopping
it up everybody's having a good time and
then someone says something like this
hey
how strong do you think zorro is all
right boom i know what y'all are
thinking sensei why'd you go straight to
zorro i'm a one-piece channel what do
you want me to do but that is the best
example i can think of at the time right
because i'm going off the cuff with this
i didn't script any of this this is
literally me off the top i'm really nice
like you remember in the beginning at
eight mile when eminem was like my knees
weak arms are sweaty it's vomit on the
sweater already you remember he choked i
don't choke bro i never choke
but my point is someone asked like all
right boom how strong is zorro and then
that's a regular question it's fine
you're like i think zorro can beat this
guy in this guy whatever and then
someone says
all right but what would happen if zoro
fought sasuke and then you know at that
point you're like all right okay what if
zoro falls sasuke what i mean and then
you're like what a power scaling in one
piece is kind of different than naruto
so it's hard to like do cross series
power scaling this is the first point
that we're making in this video cross
series power scaling is the worst if you
cross series power scale you're the type
of person that puts the cereal in before
they put the milk in like you're a
weirdo bro alright so we got to take a
quick break here i'm sorry i'm sorry to
stop the flow of this video but can we
talk about this dude sensei for a second
like sensei is a complete idiot did you
hear what i just said i said pour this
cereal before the milk no [ __ ] [ __ ]
everybody does that like i completely
just ruined the joke i was supposed to
say milk before the cereal and then call
you a weirdo but i'm an idiot so i said
cereal first
anyways i don't want to keep
embarrassing myself so let's just let's
just get back to the [ __ ] video man
you're the type of person that wears one
sock on one sock off you're the type of
person that be like yo socks on during
sex like you're the type of person that
goes to school and when everything is
almost done and the end of class is
almost over you're like
miss johnson you forgot to collect the
homework you're like you're one of those
type of people bro you're weird you're
weird
buddy
you're weird
cross series power scaling is terrible
because the power scaling system is so
convoluted in different series that it's
almost impossible to accurately power
scale so you end up doing this thing
which i like to call agenda piece now
agenda piece is a name that i've given
one piece because everybody just power
scales off agendas however agenda peace
can go into anything and that's what i'm
calling anything that deals with any
type of agendas because what's going to
happen is this the one guy that's the
naruto fan is going to be like oh of
course sasuke zorro for real like that's
just mandatory and then the other guy
that's the one piece fan is like zorro
is going to santoru he's going to own a
getty dragon's blaze like big mom told
kaido to move out the way for real so
she would have told sasuke to move out
the way for real because like if he gets
hit with the dragons blaze like that's
the conversation was gonna be and at
that point it's like what are we even
doing there's no point in this but then
we move on to the worst possible outcome
of power scaling because at some point
in the midst of this argument there's
gonna be one of the worst kind of fans
to ever power scale with in this call
with you and that is the dragon ball z
fan dragon ball z fans are the worst the
most toxic the most gross individuals
when it comes to power scaling because
they believe that no one in their story
could lose to anyone from anyone else's
story and it all starts with one simple
question but can he be goku though and
that's the question that starts one of
the worst conversations that you'll
probably ever have as an anime and manga
fan because it doesn't matter what you
say to combat that question they always
fall back on one simple thing well my
characters have been blowing up planets
since the original series we're
planetary we blow up planets by looking
at them we can sneeze on a planet and
it'll get destroyed because that is the
basis of all their power scaling they
don't know anything about power scaling
they don't do any type of calculations
they are death battle they're not like
okay if you take the circumference of
the sun and you multiply it by the
gravitational force around earth and
then you multiply that by a trillion
you'll find out that the blast goku did
is 74 mega million tons of tnt like they
don't do that type of stuff in their
mind it's like he see planet he
destroyed planet he's strong he big he's
strong he's stronger than you that is
their mindset dragon ball z fans are
low-key cavemen when it comes to power
scaling because it doesn't matter they
see one thing and then they're like okay
if i can do that then i can do that your
entire verse and that's where the
problem comes in because there are
some people that have kind of
transcended power scaling these people
are kind of deities kind of gods when it
comes to power scaling these people have
kind of like taken power scaling to a
level where they can take something
surface level and build it up to
something very powerful let me give you
an example i was in a call about i don't
know maybe a year ago right and we're on
there talking and we're power scaling
right and well i'm lying we weren't
power scaling but two individuals were
power scaling we were listening to them
so that's the main point we were there
we were listening and this one
individual we'll call this person uh
timothy right timothy is power scaling
against uh thomas right so timothy and
thomas right we got these two
individuals they're power scaling with
each other so timothy goes i think that
luffy pre-tom skip was already universal
all right let me break it down how
ridiculous this is so he's saying and
pre-time skip luffy could destroy a
universe really [ __ ] when he said it
the first time i looked down at my
screen and i contemplated disconnecting
the call but something told me you know
what sin just stay in the call just
listen to what he got to say so me being
the dumb ass i am i decided to sit there
and he says okay so when the foxy guard
luffy is dodging the nora beams from
foxy so already he's dodging light which
means he's light speed i'm like okay
then he goes now gear 2 was like a 2.5
times multiplier or something some
random number we'll just go with 2.5 i
don't know if he said two three four
five i don't know we'll go with 2.5
because that's what i thought of first
he says so already in gear 2 luffy is
2.5 times faster than light speed i'm
like okay and then he goes and impel
down he fought blackbeard who we already
know is universal because he has a
pocket dimension and i'm like i'm lost
but uh okay i'm still with you he
damaged this person so if you take in
that feat from damaging a universal
person and then he's 2.5 times faster
than light speed that means that luffy
can punch fast enough and powerful
enough to destroy the universe
and at this point it was just like this
is why i don't power scale because these
are the type of men that don't get any
type of [ __ ] you know like
to me these [ __ ] don't get [ __ ]
like that's just kind of how i feel
right but then after that i got to know
the guy and you know shout out to
timothy
tripp
that's my guy man and you know he does
indeed get the bands dollar sign ban for
carl on cash out and he does get the
[ __ ] so you know i was wrong about
that but at first i didn't like tripp
because i was like you know what he's a
little weird when it comes to power
scaling i don't really understand and
i'm not gonna lie bro that's not exactly
what he said i was just paraphrasing it
i don't even know if he said universal
he might have said planetary i don't
really know my point is i don't think
and i don't think none of you think
luffy's planetary right but that's my
point power scaling is so convoluted
that you can take something small and
you can put points together and come to
a conclusion and then someone can't
really argue against it because it's
like i'm not about to break down the
pythagorean theorem or while you're
wrong and why your equation doesn't make
sense bro like you got it by that point
it's just like bro i got so many other
things that i'm trying to do when i want
to do that i don't give a [ __ ]
about anything you're talking about my
point in this video guys is just don't
power scale just don't do it and if
you're going to do it to just do it
casually with your friends don't make
long threads about it on twitter and try
to be cool and get likes and please for
the love of god the next time that
someone says but can he beat goku though
just look him dead in their eye and say
no
but i can beat your mom thanks for
watching my video
bye
