What was perfect Cell's power level?

Answer 1

Akira Toriyama (Dragonball Z's original author) didn't list any power levels after the Frieza saga, since he felt they limited his ability to be creative with the fights.

However plenty of people have made educated guesses at the power levels over the rest of the series. They're not official, but they're pretty sound guesses & as close as we're going to get to any 'official' numbers.

To get to the question. The general agreement is that perfect Cell's power level was about: 130,000,000.

Some places put his full power as far as 180,000,000, & when he buffed himself up in that desperate bid to beat super Saiyan 2 Gohan, it's supposed to have sky-rocketed to 220,000,000 (that still wasn't nearly enough power, though super Saiyan 2 Gohan is leveled at 325,000,000).

Then when he came back to toast everybody after he regenerated from blowing himself up, he rocketed up to 320,000,000. Almost enough to beat Gohan, but not quite.

A super Saiyan 1's power level is 25 million. So a super Saiyan 2's power level is probably 10 times that much which is 250 million. Perfect Cell toyed around with a super Saiyan 2. When Gohan gets a rage his power level gets 3 times higher (In Saiyan saga his power level was 1,000 but he got mad & it increased to 3,000). So Gohan's power level must have increased to 750 million.

So my guess is that perfect Cell's power level was 350 million to start with.

Accrding to a Super Exiting Guide about Dragonball Z, Super Saiyan 2 is twice the power of Super Saiyan 1. I personally don't believe that their base power level rises after they reach super saiyan, so I'm guessing Perfect Cell's power level is 300,000,000.
