Okay, so this is just me crunching some numbers for the heck of it, like my DBZ power level speculation I did long ago. But I've come to realize that list is most likely inaccurate, because the source I used for Perfect Cell's power level was based on an obscure scouter game that wasn't even released in the US.

But that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about Broly, specifically his canon incarnation from Dragon Ball Super.

'But but but, there's no power levels in DBS, you suck!'

In the original anime, yes. But in Broly's debut movie, the Frieza Force makes a comeback, including their scouters, so we have a few numbers to work with, including the flashback to Broly's birth and Planet Vegeta's destruction. When Lemo and Cheelai find Broly and his father on Planet Vampa, Broly's reading goes above the maximum rating for their scouters, which appears to be 99,999. Which means Broly's level is above 100,000 at the very least (and most likely FAR above that).

'But but but, there's no way to tell how strong he is in the fight with Goku and Vegeta!'

(sigh) YES, I know that. That's why this is called... wait for it... S-P-E-C-U-L-A-T-I-O-N. Understand? Now then, let's go back to when Broly was exiled to Planet Vampa. It's stated that he had a power level of 10,000 when he was born, but that's clearly meant as a shout-out to the original Broly movie. When Paragus finds him after crash landing, Broly registers a more reasonable level of 920. However, keep in mind that Goku as an adult at the start of the Saiyan Saga only had a power level of 416 (though it jumped to 924 when he used the Kamehameha wave). And Gohan's level (before he got really mad) was only 710!

But we're getting off-track here. We know that Goku's power level at the start of Dragon Ball, when he was only 12 years old, was a measly 10, due to being raised in a far more relaxed environment than Broly was.

'But how can we speculate Broly's power level from that?!'

Well, let's go back to Goku's level at the start of the Saiyan Saga, which was 416. If we divide toddler Broly's power level by child Goku's initial power level, before either of them went through any serious training, we get 92. Which means that if we multiply 416 x 92, we get 38,272. Quite impressive, but that's way below the scouter's upper limit from DBS: Broly. But again, Goku had lived his entire life in the relaxed environment of Earth up to this point. But after training with King Kai, who's planet has 10x normal gravity (the same as Planet Vegeta), his power level jumps to OVER NINE THOU- (ahem) over 8,000. (Yes, that meme's overused, but I couldn't help myself.)

Anyway, if we multiply 8000 x 92, we get 736,000! Already Broly appears to be way stronger than first form Frieza! But again, Goku only trained for a year in 10x gravity, and King Kai's planet otherwise was pretty pleasant, if small and boring; nothing like the repugnant death world Broly grew up on for years.

So, let's fast forward to the Namek Saga, where Goku undergoes intense harsh training in up to 100x Earth's gravity. Thanks to said training, he easily outpaces all of the Ginyu Force save Captain Ginyu himself, with a confirmed power level of OVER NINETY THOUSAND!!

(boos and rotten tomatoes)

Yeah, yeah, sorry, I'm corny and lame, I know. Putting that aside, let's calculate Broly's apparent power level from Goku's level arriving on Namek:

90000 x 92 = 8,280,000! This is far beyond Frieza's second form, and possibly his third form as well!

The last 'official' power level we have for base form Goku, after being healed from his fight with Ginyu, is a whopping 3,000,000. What happens if we multiply THAT number to calculate Broly's power level?

3000000 x 92 = 276,000,000! That's more than double Frieza's 100% power on Namek, and almost double Super Saiyan Goku! (1.84x SSJ Goku to be exact.) And keep in mind, this would be Broly's base form, without Wrathful state or going Super Saiyan himself! Broly's Wrathful state is stated to be a 10x multiplier, since it's basically going Oozaru without becoming a giant ape, meaning his power level would be 2.76 billion, and Super Saiyan is five times that, meaning SSJ Broly has a power level of 13.8 billion!! No wonder Goku and Vegeta had to fuse into Gogeta to beat him...

Again, let me say that this is pure speculation on my part, and should not be considered official in any way. Sadly, the one person who could confirm this has recently shed his mortal coil... RIP Akira Toriyama. Your legacy will never be forgotten.

So, I kinda wanted to elaborate a little bit on the war that Roche Rudot was involved in... that being said, I don't have enough details nailed down to write a proper story, which is why I'm writing a journal about it instead.

So basically, about 10 years after the death of Lady Laura Cobblemeyer's husband Darren, (10 ADD- After Darren's Death), the country of Casimir is invaded by the country to the west, using firearms to take down the guards at the border and blowing apart the stone wall with explosives. At this point, Casimir, while aware of the invention of gunpowder, had dismissed its application as any real threat up to this point, and while a few people here and there had firearms, it was nowhere near enough for the standing army.

The current king, realizing the threat to his nation, and that he had no knowledge of war tactics, called in Lady Cobblemeyer in secret, and asking her to take the reins of not only the army, but the country in his stead... At first Laura was reluctant, recalling how the Kingdom of Rhedosia had fallen apart without her to guide it, not to mention still not completely over her husband's death... But when the king insisted it would only be a temporary arrangement until the invasion had been dealt with, she agreed, albeit insisting that she would only answer to 'Queen Regent' or 'my lady', not 'Your Highness' or 'Your Majesty'.

Laura's first act as Queen Regent was to personally fly out to the invasion's front line and assault them in dragon form in order to give Casimir's army a chance to regroup... though the enemy's firearms couldn't pierce her dragon scales, they still stung a bit, and she quickly perceived how deadly they were to normal humans... (Thankfully they were only single-shot rifles and muskets, the gatling gun not having been invented yet.) Once the enemy had been temporarily routed, she flew back to the capital city and called upon Roland and Damien to organize the regular army, while she gave orders to the mages, also calling on her eldest daughter Collei to help with weapons production to try and even the odds. (Darren Jr. was still an ignorant child at the time.)

Meanwhile, the invaders, still reeling from the former Lord of Dragons' attack on their front line, decided to try and flank their foes by marching to the southwest swamplands, assuming they would be more easily subjugated... only to run into significant trouble in the form of Roche Rudot, who almost single-handedly resisted their efforts, taking advantage of his knowledge of the swamps to trick his foes into deadly quicksand bogs, their heavy armor ensuring their demise. But eventually the invaders would get wise to this tactic, directing their assaults at innocent civilians instead, forcing Roche into more conventional combat. But so obsessed were they with taking him out, that Roche was able to act as a decoy while his father's archers rained down arrows upon them. Unfortunately this strategy would eventually lead to Roche's demise by a lucky bullet, leaving behind his wife and son.

Upon hearing of Roche's strategy, Laura Cobblemeyer conceived a similar tactic, luring an enemy battalion into a predetermined spot where the mages would create a fog that made it impossible for the enemy to see or aim properly, the archers then firing into the fog, the calvary charging in afterwards to clean up what was left.

Also around this time, Collei and another engineer had come up with weapons independently of each other to try and neutralize the invaders' gun advantage over them... Collei's device was what we would describe as a Chinese hwacha that could fire a ton of arrows in rapid succession, while the other engineer created a weapon that was reverse-engineered from the alien technology left over from the conflict where Laura and her husband had first met. Unfortunately, when he tried to fire it, it exploded in a blast that not only wiped out the enemy battalion, but he and his crew as well, leaving a large crater in the ground contaminated with radiation. To this day this area is known as the Valley of Death, although the radiation has dissipated enough for plant and animal life to reestablish itself. As for Collei's hwacha, her first firing ended up missing the army entirely, which might have resulted in her own demise was it not for a surprise attack from behind by her brother Percival, who returned as fast as he could when he had heard about the invasion. (Thankfully further attempts with the hwacha would be far more accurate and devastating to the invaders.)

Not only had Percival returned, but Laura's second daughter Rose as well, giving her siblings and mother some much-needed emotional support in these trying times (as well as a consistent babysitter for Darren Jr.) Thus reinvigorated, the Cobblemeyer Clan with support from the army, mounted a decisive combined counterattack on the enemy's supply line, cutting off the main army from behind while Casimir's troops marched on them from the front... caught off-guard by the unexpected pincer move, the enemy army's commander had no choice but to send out an envoy to discuss terms of surrender.

After making a show of her dragon form to make it clear that they had messed with the wrong country, Laura demanded they turn over any and all firearms to Casimir's army, and that any ranking officers (save the commander himself) that had committed war crimes against innocents be arrested to stand trial via military tribunal, while the rest would be allowed to leave and never return. Thus did the conflict come to an end.

However, Laura's troubles as Queen Regent were not quite over... during the course of the war, the king's only son had attempted to fight back with his own army to prove himself, but only showed to be hopelessly stupid and incompetent, his entire unit save himself wiped out in an ambush. Damien informed his mother of this, causing her to call the former king and discuss his son's actions... both realizing that the prince would never be a good ruler, Laura and the King agreed that the monarchy should be dissolved and a representative government elected to take it's place. Unfortunately, several in the regular army misinterpreted this as Lady Cobblemeyer attempting to seize power for herself, convincing the prince to lead a rebellion against the queen regent after the war was over.

Ordinarily Laura would have simply sent her three sons to crush the rebels, but they had armed themselves with firearms from the defeated invaders, leaving the former Lord of Dragons no choice but to assume dragon form and slaughter them wholesale. Once that was done, Laura had the prince detained, who insisted he had been set-up... after some discussion with her sons, Laura had Damien execute the prince with a swift beheading to ensure the flames of rebellion were smothered for good. The former king, ashamed at his child's actions, decided to exile himself and take his son's corpse with him to parts unknown. Once that was done, Laura had elections held for a new government, with a senate to make laws and a prime minister to act as head of state and commander-in-chief of Casimir's army.

Needless to say, Laura was relieved in more ways than one when the new government finally took power, ceding her title as Queen Regent and returning to her old role as advisor to the government's head.

P.S.- It could be said that this conflict was another factor in Darren Jr's decision not to pursue the path of the warrior like his brothers before him, as he remembered his mother always looking tired and sad in those days, not having much time for him...

Note: these are just random ideas I'm jotting down for the moment. I'll see if I can write a more cohesive story later.

(In the Skeld)

Meltryllis: So the object is for the Impostors to kill all the Crewmates?

BB: You got it!

Melt: In that case... (slices BB's head off)

Ghost BB: ...I should have seen that coming.

(Next game)

Melt: Crap, I'm crewmate this time... dammit. (alarm goes off) Now what?!

Passionlip: Melt, help! I broke the O2!

Melt: You airhead! Alright, let's go fix-

(scare chord, Lip spawns her claws and crushes Melt to a bloody pulp)

Ghost Melt: ...Right. Only impostors can break the O2 in this game.

Lip: Sorry, Melt.

(Later)

Suzuka Gozen: Lip is totally sus!

Nero Claudius: I agree! How can she even play this game with her claws?

Lip: It's a touch screen, so I take off my shoes and use my toes!

Tamamo-no-mae: So that's why you asked Cat to wash your feet earlier...

Suzuka: Anyway, I totes think Lip's the impostor!

Lip: How can I be?! I could never fit this body into a vent!

Tamamo: But you do have A+ Presence Concealment...

BB: You idiots are confusing the game with reality...

(They vote, it's a tie between Lip and 'skipped voting')

(In electrical)

Nero: Fox Caster, I cannot figure out these wires for the life of me!

Tamamo: Oh come on, it's simple! You just match the colors-

(scare chord, Nero stabs Tamamo several times in the back)

Ghost Tamamo: Did I seriously just fall for that?!

Nero: Umu, now Praetor is all mine~!

(DEAD BODY REPORTED)

Gawain: Hark, for I just witnessed a murder most foul! It was the woman resembling my king!

Nero: What?! Where is your proof, good knight?!

Gawain: I saw your red spacesuit vanishing into the vent forthwith!

Nero: Th-that could have been anyone!

BB: Only if we had roles turned on, which we don't. (votes Nero)

Lip: Sorry, Saber. (votes Nero)

Nero: Wh-what exactly happens to those who are voted out?

BB: They get shoved out the airlock into deep space... to DIE ALONE.

Nero: NOOOOOOOOOO! (gets ejected)

Suzuka: I almost feel sorry for her...

(Next game)

BB: Okay, this time we're doing Hide N' Seek mode! One person becomes impostor and tries to hunt down all crewmates within the time limit!

Melt: Please don't let BB be the impostor...

Lip: I second that!

Tamamo: I third and forth it!

BB: You realize it's random, right?

(game starts)

Suzuka: Nero is the impostor?!

Nero?: (engulfed in black flames) That's Queen Draco to you, saber.

BB: Oh shit! She's gone Beast VI/S on us!

Lip: Run for your lives!

Melt: Don't gotta tell me twice! (skates off)

Draco: I will devour you all for making me die alone again... (gives chase)

Remember this screenshot I posted from Pokemon Violet?

Well, Game Freak just unveiled DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and the 2nd story DLC features a Pokemon called Terapagos:

Look familiar? It should, it's basically the lizard/turtle-like creature sitting atop the orb of hexagons in the drawing! Of course, the obvious next question is, 'So what about the orb it's sitting on?'

I hypothesize that it's a special 'boss form' Terapagos takes, similar to Eternatus' Eternamax form, and we'll likely have to fight and defeat it in a special Tera Raid battle before we have a chance to catch it proper. This alone has motivated me to purchase the DLC despite the $30+ price tag.

So, what do you think?

So, here are the current ideas I have for my collection of story snippets set in my Neptunia series:

Rei Ryghts exposing a corrupt prosecutor

After 'The High School Turnabout'- Byleth introduces Caster!Sothis to fellow students (multipart?)

After 'Ho-Hum'- Peach and Vert meet Undertale monsters (multipart?)

Noire makes a new costume for Guild Agent Dwayne- he becomes Batman ('I thought he was just a comic book!')

After 'The Mech-Suit's Turnabout'- Austin Paragan gets busted for more criminal activity and gets judo-flipped by Segata Sanshiro

Sharon Kuiper from 'Neptunia Guild Files' meets Ultradimension Plutia

After 'Law & Order: Leanbox'- Samantha Lisand is offered a deal by Leanbox Guild to get out of jail and work for them

If you want to add any suggestions of your own, feel free!
