On the dragon wiki they try to use some of the information from the show to estimate later power levels, and the numbers are pretty ridiculous. You really have to make some leaps of logic to make sense out of the inconsistent at best information about power levels in the show.

Yeah, those are retarded. The last official one was Trunks before killing Frieza and his crew.

I take that back actually. When Goku was fighting Yakon in Babidi's ship, he had a level of 3000 kiri (Yakon's was 800). Kiri is what Babidi and Dabura called it.

So explain to me what 3,000 kiri equates to.

That's pretty damn high considering unicorns don't exist.

Correct.

So explain to me what 3,000 kiri equates to.
Years after Freeza has been killed and almost completely forgotten, Babidi and his men invade Earth looking for energy to revive Majin Buu with. Their system of measuring this “energy” (apparently their term for ki) is in units called “kiri”. It seems that kiri are much larger units than those used for Freeza and co.’s battle powers, since it measures Super Saiyan Goku as 3,000, when in terms of battle power he would be far over a million.
In addition, despite the fact that Super Saiyan Goku was over 40 times stronger than his regular form during the battle with Freeza, here regular Goku is on par with Babidi’s henchman Yakon, which seems to show that in kiri, Super Saiyan Goku is only about 3 times stronger than his regular form. This could be because the distance between Goku’s regular and Super Saiyan forms has lessened with time, or that kiri can only be converted into battle power in some complicated, non-linear way, or, you know, Toriyama wasn’t putting any real thought into any of this. Anyway, despite the fact that Super Saiyan Goku easily kills Yakon, Babidi’s strongest henchman, Dabra, is confident that he can defeat Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Kaioshin all at once.
Incidentally, the numbers given for Yakon and Goku, 800 and 3,000, are both commonly used in Japanese as a symbolic way of saying “an enormous amount”, similar to the way the number 40 is used throughout the Christian Bible. For instance, the 800 temples of Kyoto are proverbial, as are the 8 million gods of Shinto (8 million being 800 man in Japanese, that is 800×10,000), while in Buddhism the phrase “3,000 worlds” signifies all of creation.

So we're looking at like 3 million on a scanner?

There's absolutely no consistency to power levels. If you try to think logically about them then it leads you to ridiculous numbers and contradictions.

Yeah, it all gets retarded after the Frieza/Goku fight (120,000,000 at full power for the former and 150,000,000 for the latter as a SS).

so how does Broly at full power stack up in the levels of ssj? id say he could take on ssj2. might be able to handle ssj3 but end up falling to it.
