HUuuuahhhhhghHHGHHHHATHHHHH!!!! Welcome to the power scaling tape. Obviously we're going to talk a lot about Dragon Ball, but also how other shows have handled their power scaling, and which ones go about it the best.

Some shows are balanced, like Attack on Titan, while other shows (like Naruto), we have completely different opinions on when it comes to the power scaling. 

This episode is about us talking about if writers of Anime shoot themselves in the foot by making their protagonists too powerful, and having trouble finding realistic threats to further the story. We also discuss what type of power scaling we prefer, and which shows do it better.

What do you think?

This episode includes: Dragon Ball Super, DBZ, Naruto, AOT, Death Note, JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Sailor Moon
