Could Goku Pass the Chunin Exams?

#anime #dragonball #naruto
Today we cover another fascinating crossverse topic in which Goku's first tournament was not the 21st budokai but actually the Chunin exams from Naruto! Would Goku's skills and strength be enough to handle the level of a Chunin Ninja? Or would he not be up to snuff? Lets find out!

There was a significant speed feat in the first tournament arc with roshi and krillin how they were able to pull of a combination of attacks so quickly that the audience didnt even perceive what had happened. They had to physically act out what they did just when prompted by the announcer just to understand.

[@soloknight7197]

1) that was a gag 2) Even if taken literally, it's still in the hypersonic range as opposed to lighting range

[@jxrrxd4713]

@@soloknight7197 that’s still a significant feat though? Just because it’s played off as comedic doesn’t make the feat non significant. Krillin took damage in that encounter and goku replicated a similar feat in the 2nd world tournament arc against Krillin so I don’t think you know or understand what you’re talking about.

[@theinktician]

@@jxrrxd4713 well, considering Krillin was stumped by it the 2nd time despite being capable of it the 1st time, i'd say the 1st time really was a gag or exaggeration. Otherwise it wouldn't have phased him. All things considered, consistency of this stuff is highly varied in the series (insert Burter & Dyspo)

[@fdd4957]

@@theinktician Burter and Dyspo's speed not matching their power level is not an inconsistency. They're different organisms to the z-fighters. Humans are stronger than cheetahs, but cheetahs run faster. When both cheetahs and humans train their legs for sprints, they run faster. Burter and Dyspo are faster than other warriors of similar power levels because they have a different biology.

[@soloknight7197]

@jxrrxd4713 1) it's not that significant with the others Goku would be fighting 2) the impressive feat Goku pulled at his 2nd tournament(after 3 years of training) doesn't count because we're using him from his 1st tournament

You have to keep in mind with the fights that they are a lot more than just numbers. If Roshi were to be in the exams there wouldn't be one contestant that could stand up to him, and Goku (though he couldn't beat Roshi) was able to go toe to toe with him. In terms of raw stats you could argue either being higher or lower than the average student, but when you see how he actually performs in these fights, he clearly punches above his weight class. The only students I see being a genuine problem for Goku are Naruto and Gara.

[@luisfreitas4724]

Maybe not even Gaara. Imagine if the fight plays out similarly to how his fight with with Sasuke went. I.e he stands still in a sand barrier. Goku would kamehameha that shit so hard, he might as well kill Gaara on accident. Now, Naruto is different. A fight between MCs is pretty much meaningless because they pretty much have to win in their franchise. In here you could throw every sort of hypotheticals, like, what is stopping goku from going super saiyan? The writers. What is stopping Naruto from getting the same amp he did against Sasuke in the valley of the end? The one where he gets a tail and everything. The writers. So to me it's pretty much a toss up

goku would be able to clean sweep the tournament part of the exams, goku would easily be able to out speed people, taking into account his saiyan dna his power would grow if he gets backed into a corner. he can also easily out perform most of the younger cast since they wont have enough chakra to compete with his Ki output. the only ones who'd be able to keep up and maybe give him a challenge would be naruto, sasuke and gaara for obvious reasons. everyone else wouldnt be much of a challenge because Ki is a superior energy source

Not to mention that only a few days after the tournament he was leaving behind a whole bunch of afterimages at the start of his training with Korin.

[@PenguinSage]

It is important to know that winning the final match of the exams is not the same as passing. It can be assumed you have to at least get to the third stage finals to get promoted, but past that, you don't need to win, just show your skills. Shikamaru did not win the final match of the exams, but still passed. In fact the others who won their matches in the finals were not promoted. The entire exam is deceptive like that, most prominently in the written part. Moving on to the next stage and passing are separate, and what the proctor says about the exam is not 100% true. Its really about displaying skill and courage to see if the candidates could qualify for promotion in that exam or another. Then the chunin exams in Naruto will be interrupted by the sand/sound attack anyways so Goku would not even be able to win at all even if he could. Even if that were not to happen, 12y old Goku really does not have the mindset of a ninja so the proctors in charge of promoting ninja would fail him. Especially with how badly he would fail the information gathering test. It may not be needed to continue to the next grade, but they will certainly keep the score in mind for promotion. TLDR: Goku may or may not pass the fighting parts, but won't get the promotion and thus fail the exams.

With how the Chunin Exams are structured, its really hard for anyone to actually win, especially those from other series. The reason why is 1. Its made to take multiple tries for most ninja to pass, 2. You have to meet the standards for a chunin ninja in not just strength but mindset, and 3. the exams we know the most about are interrupted so no one can win the exams themselves.

One small thing, why didn't you give Krillen and Yamcha as teammates? They would've carried him in the first two trials with no further explanation. Also these three should still have chakra, ki is practically the same thing. Lastly Goku uses the Afterimage Technique which is fast enough to create visible clones. Of course, people like Sasuke and Neji could ignore it but it does count for a crazy fast speed feet.

[@matthewbreytenbach4483]

The afterimage technique still requires energy, it isn't a pure speed feat.

[@vegeta_69420]

Even if we verse-equalize Ki and Chakra, Genjutsu works by manipulating certain chakra points to give an illusion. DB characters don’t have a chakra network, Ki flows freely, and unloke Chakra it can be manipulated outside of the body, suggesting that each person has a different type of Ki that they specifically can control. Meanwhile, Chakra between Naruto characters is essentially interchangeable. Even if Goku had a sort of Chakra network, they wouldn’t be able to control it because it wasn’t their Ki.

[@Elhvir]

To be fair, Goku even before Budokai tournament could create copies of himself by just moving real fast, indicating that at that level (power level 30-70) he could already reach hypersonic or near-hypersonic speeds. Considering that Lee's 5-gate outburst was considered extreme speed upgrade, and he could reach roughly similar kinds of speed there, I'd say Goku is solid in the speed department. Not to mention durability is a massive factor here, everyone in Narutoverse would start bleeding if stabbed with sharp object, but Goku in the meantime could take literal bullets to forehead and just feel slight ouchie. Granted, some Narutoverse moves like illusion/substitution, control, Neji's rotation techniques etc. etc. etc. would make still comparing levels tricky.

[@Luke07fr]

What's particulary interesting and good about your videos isn't only your analysis of each situation, but over all the fact you're using DB and early DBZ references, reminding us these parts of the manga and how great DB will always be.

[@TotallyCluelessGamer]

There is a type of curve that works pretty well(but not perfectly) when plotting DB power levels, it is called a logarithmic curve. You start with ludicrous gains but the chart swiftly levels out until it becomes nearly a straight line. This would explain not only Goku being many thousands, of times stronger than a normal person at a Power Level of 10, but would also explain why Power Level numbers were ballooning so quickly toward the end of their lifespan. Characters may have actually been gaining similar proportional gains to earlier Dragon Ball, however since each increase in number for their power level is worth less, they seem to have these dramatic jumps from 9,000 to 180,000 to 3,000,000 to 150,000,000

[@genericwhitemale9566]

Even with those massive jumps, the actual destructive power remained pretty much the same. While 5 to 10 was normal human to building level which is like a 10,000X power difference, both Base Namek Goku and Final Form Frieza are Dwarf Star on opposite ends of the boundary. The boundary between the weakest and strongest of that tier is pretty big but nowhere near as big as the difference between the strength of a regular human and a building destroyer despite the fact that the gap in their power levels is far larger.

Funny thing is that I just bought the first box set of Naruto recently and I’ve been reading through the chiming exams, and Goku is one of my favorite anime characters of all time so this was a pretty fun watch!

[@StareachValcin]

I do think that Goku at the time of the 21st tenkaichi budokai would do well in the chuunin exam. I do agree that Goku wouldn't pass the first exam if he had to answer the questions, but he would pass just like Naruto did with courage. The second exam is definitely something that Goku could pass. While Goku could be tricked, he's also strong enough to defeat enemy ninja and get 2 scrolls. As for the third exam, kid Goku at the time of the 21st tenkaichi budokai would have a harder time with the likes of Gaara, Lee, Neji, Sasuke, and Naruto than one might think, but I do think that kid Goku can defeat these opponents, even if it wasn't easy, and especially if Goku was given a month to prepare.

[@myleekb]

If we assume Goku would be training in the month off after the 3rd exam (which is not even close to being out of character), Goku would wash the whole Chunin exam.

[@pinecactus9672]

Nonsense. Kid goku would crush all those people even the sannins wouldn't be able to defeat him.

[@felixlara2945]

Rock Lee at his absolute fastest mimics Goku's afterimage technique which he does casually, Goku basically has the body flicker technique and can use it in combat which most jonin struggle with

[@vegeta_69420]

Interesting thing to consider: can you fit the RRA saga into a month? Assuming Goku wins the Preliminary round and does the same thing he did after the 21st Budokai, as long as he at least gets Korin’s training it’s basically game over for everyone else at the exams.

[@moycorbin4750]

I love the fact young Goku is stronger than almost every character in the chunin exams but also more innocent than any of them

[@lnsflare1]

139 was Roshi's power level for the entirety of OG Dragonball, yes, but he was still way out of shape during the 21st Budokai so a Goku who could match him wouldn't necessarily have to be at that level, especially since we know that passing Korin's training (which was something that Roshi did long ago, before he stagnated) was a massive power boost for Kid Goku, and Roshi got more back into his groove and fought at levels comparable to 22nd Budokai Tenshinhan and Goku 3 years later without increasing his power levels. Also, Farmer with a Shotgun's power level of 5 probably isn't really a valid point of comparison since that dude almost certainly didn't even know how to actually access his ki to boost himself. Fights like Kaiou Ken X 1 Goku vs. Nappa and Vegeta vs. Kuei seem to indicate that even a 30% difference in power levels between people who know how to use their ki makes the more powerful person significantly more than twice as fast as the weaker one, as well as strong enough to oneshot them. Someone else had probably also pointed out that full-power Roshi destroyed that mountain by accident while trying to gently blow away the fire it was engulfed with, because that Roshi was incredibly out of shape to the point where he even needed help climbing onto a low fence/wall. Also, Chidori, especially during the Chuunin exam, was nowhere even remotely near lightning spreds, since the lightning stays around his hand and the sharingan was just needed to let him run at his full base speed without accidentally missing if any ninja in his general reflex tier tried to dodge. Heck, a much stronger and faster version of Sasuke flat out said that real lightning is way faster than lightning chakra when he used Kirin against Itachi.

[@sondreeikaasbirkeland5007]

I have issues with the way the first two tests went. As for the latter parts, I believe Goku's kamehameha would be able to deal a debilitating, if not fatal blow to the majority of his competition, but most of them have attacks that could put Goku out of commision as well. It's difficult to say for sure, but I believe Goku certainly posesses the combat prowess that would be expected of a chunin, but would ultimately fail due to a lack of other, equally vital, characteristics, such as discipline and intuition.

[@twelfthknight]

There are very few characters to whom "disciplined" and "intuitive" applies more to than Goku. Doing hardcore, nigh-impossible training exercises is half of Dragonball. Even faced with training that he can't see the intrinsic value in - like meditating to build his spirital awareness with Kami - he'll still do it endlessly without complaint because that's his nature. While Goku's monstrous battle-sense and intuition come up again and again and again in every fight. Hell, Toriyama's ultimate mode for him in Super is just Intuition to beyond godlike levels.

[@theinktician]

Well, funny thing is, even if he wins the tournament, he probably won't actually pass (especially the 1st). And in the 3rd exam i'm not sure he'll show enough brains - he'd likely fall in to the "I'll Never Give Up!" trap instead. Say for example if his opponent was gaara (im using someone who can withstand his hits pre-22nd World tournament lol). He's capable of figuring things out similar to Naruto, but just like his fellow orange-clad hero, I see Goku succeeding by simply hitting him harder lmao. basically, there will never be a chance to show him being capable of using "better judgement" and being a leader

[@theinktician]

Explaining the 1st exam: unlike Naruto, he wouldn't go into that internal monologue, panic, then spout about how he'll never give up. Goku is more likely to write random stuff/draw on the paper or cheat (hot take). I also see Goku falling asleep - which is unironically his best chance of passing, but he'd get hungry before that most likely. The 2nd exam is where he shines. Imagine Lee without the weights, with Kiba's senses. He'd get to the tower in record time

@@mcgrykoKid Goku’s skill level is debatable, but it should at least be comparable to Master Roshi. Naruto’s talented, sure, but Goku’s basically on a whole ‘nother level. In a hypothetical fight with Naruto, I’d say it have to be a tossup. There is no way on god’s green earth that Naruto or any other Gen’in except for Full Power Rock Lee or MAYBE Neiji can match Goku in close combat. I’d be especially devastating if Goku were to copy Neiji’s Gentle Fist and early-unlock the Dragon Fist Technique. Dragon Fist is able to significantly damage opponents that are substantially stronger than he is, meaning that he could probably break Gaara’s Sand with it. Even so, it’s still a tossup. Goku’s skilled in close combat, but he can definitely be outsmarted by any number of Gen’in.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

One of the first tests that Roshi did to Krillin and Goku was a 100m sprint, in which they ran well under 2 seconds i believe, so speed wise, one thing is what you see on the show, another thing is the perspective of a regular human. I don't think Sasuke was stronger and faster than 5 gates Neji, but he managed to find a way to break into Gaara's sand armor by using better strategies and, well, the Sharingan. Goku was already capable of moving tall boulders and run close to the speed of sound as a newbie Roshi student.

As for Naruto and Sasuke, they would have a PL of about 41 during the Chunin Exames and then they would both have a PL of about 68 during the Konoha Invasion.

[@boomkruncher325zzshred5]

Kid Goku around the time of the 21st Strongest Under the Heavens Martial Arts tournament could go toe to toe with Roshi, indicating a few things: -Goku has few techniques at this point, essentially being absurdly strong and durable to carry him through most fights. -HOWEVER, Goku is a Martial Arts SAVANT. He’s dumb as a brick… EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO COMBAT. At this stage, Goku has only begun to hone his incredible martial arts prowess, but it still shines through instinctively. -This makes it VERY tough for characters that rely on Strategy to get one over on Goku, because Goku doesn’t use strategy: he just does what his instinct suggests is the best thing to do in that moment, and even when he was a kid this put seasoned martial arts masters on the back foot despite them being more powerful than him in terms of raw power. People who use strategies against Goku will find themselves countered by some out-of-left-field strategy they couldn’t expect. -The thing is, I think for the sake of this contest Goku WOULD have a “chakra network”, but it would be completely alien to anything on planet Earth because, well, Goku’s a Saiyan, not a human. After all, Ki and pressure points ARE a thing in Dragon Ball, so it’s entirely possible that Naruto’s chakra and Dragon Ball’s Ki are one and the same. Thus, Neji would be unable to make heads or tails of Goku’s Chakra network, and Goku’s instinctive quick thinking would fold Neji before he could suss out ways to exploit Goku’s weird-flowing and alien Chakra. -Fighting against Rock Lee would be the ultimate Bro vs. Bro fight, two “Taijutsu” fighters giving it their all against each other, and Goku WOULD let Rock Lee go all out against him. Goku LIVES for the thrill of battle, so Goku would gladly face off against Rock Lee’s best… but Rock Lee’s abilities damage his own body. Goku’s don’t. While Kid Goku doesn’t have crazy movement techniques or flight yet, he is still faster than the human eye can perceive: Krillin and Roshi fought so fast that the announcers had to stop the fight and ask the two of them what in the world happened in their fight. That indicates punching and combat speed somewhere around 500+ Mach speed. Mach speed 1 is the speed of sound in air at standard conditions, so five hundred times faster than that is how fast Goku’s punches can be thrown, even as a kid. Rock Lee would go down eventually, but it would be the most badass and honorable fight of the entire exam. -Gaara would be a challenge, but this is probably where Kid Goku would break out the Kamehameha. One way to counter a mobile defense is an area attack that locks down all that mobility in one spot, allowing Goku to blitz past the sand and clock Gaara hard. Again, Goku could throw a 500+ Mach number punch, and his instinctive battle sense would suggest such a tactic to Kid Goku, who would eventually execute it after fighting Gaara for a while to figure out the capabilities of Gaara’s sand. Plus, we see time and time again how fighters using gimmicks against Goku get countered and defeated by Goku’s instinctive battle sense, which he had even as a kid. So Goku would win this fight too. -Sasuke is an interesting one. With his Sharingan, it’s possible Sasuke could copy the Kamehameha… IF HE HAS THE CHAKRA TO POWER IT. But would Sasuke copy the beam attack? Not at first; like with his fight against Gaara, Sasuke would copy Goku’s movements with his Sharingan, and be able to go toe to toe with Goku in terms of martial arts prowess. The question is: how long could Sasuke keep up with Goku, who can go toe to toe with Roshi who could blast away a mountain when exerting his full power? Also, the strange chakra network and Saiyan chakra Goku would theoretically have would make it VERY hard to copy properly, even though the Sharingan would lay all that info out for Sasuke to stare at and despair at properly copying. Now, Sasuke has the Curse Mark, AND he has the Chidori. The Chidori can “cut” most anything, but if you can see it coming, you can avoid or counter it, and it takes a bit to properly charge. Sasuke could in theory draw on the Orochimaru curse mark and overcharge a Chidori to finish off Goku. The question is: can Sasuke do that fast enough before Goku’s instinctive battle sense realizes something is wrong, and he moves to interrupt Sasuke charging the Chidori? Goku naturally would force Sasuke to use EVERYTHING HE’S GOT to put him down, and Goku would need to be on the offensive the whole time, breaking Sasuke’s “genius” one instinctive maneuver at a time. Sasuke can copy the moves, but the Sharingan cannot copy the battle instinct of the warrior that wields these moves, which means at first Goku would dominate despite Sasuke managing to stay in the fight, forcing Sasuke to use everything he has to finish off this weird kid with an alien physique and chakra. In the original Naruto, we can see with that final confrontation between Naruto and Sasuke that Sasuke is prone to panicking once he starts running out of options, and facing off against Goku would push him to that limit. One panicked full power Chidori attempt may give Goku the opening to end the fight for good, knocking Sasuke unconscious and ending the battle. -Naruto… THIS is where things get down right FASCINATING! Their strengths are very different, though their will to win and to compete is similar. But, their motivations are different. Naruto fights to make the world a better place: Goku fights because he finds it fun, he gets off on a good combat. Naruto’s insane Chakra reserves could go toe to toe with Goku’s Ki, but at this stage in the manga Naruto’s Ki does have limits. Namely, Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox. It is entirely possible that Goku pushes Naruto’s body to the point that Kurama’s chakra starts leaking out, and Naruto starts losing control. Goku would see that this incredibly willful but good-hearted fighter is actually holding back a beast inside of him, one that seeks to destroy EVERYTHING. Goku upon seeing Naruto amp up would end the fight as fast as he could, but he may not be able to stop Naruto. Worst-case scenario is that Kurama fully escapes because of the stress of the battle, and tries to go on a rampage. Goku can’t fight Kurama… NORMALLY. GREAT APE KID GOKU CAN EASILY GO TOE TO TOE WITH EACH OTHER AT THIS STAGE. Saiyans in Great Ape form can conquer planets, and all it takes is for the full moon to be out and Goku would transform against his will. Great Ape Kid Goku would also rampage, but would eventually see Kurama as a threat and would do everything in his power to bring Kurama down, maybe long enough for the seals in Naruto’s body to be reconstituted and Kurama be re-sealed. Perhaps the other Ninja would realize the connection between seeing the full moon and Kid Goku’s transformation (heck, the Hyuga clan may even figure out the connection between the tail and the transformation, and find a way to cut off Goku’s tail, reverting him back). So Naruto and Goku would be interesting, but their combat styles are very different. Goku’s combat prowess is naturally better than Naruto’s at base, and just a little training makes Goku a legit problem to his own masters. Naruto’s willpower and refusal to give up is larger than Goku’s willpower, and Naruto has shown even as a kid that he can overcome skill gaps between him and his opponents through sheer force of will. In short, both would cancel each other out, Goku’s skill advantage getting overpowered by Naruto’s determination but Goku’s raw innate power being a mountain Naruto would be forced to climb. So this would certainly be a tie, though it would be more likely that if it came down to a Kurama vs Great Ape battle that Kurama would win, if the other Ninja did not interfere to stop Kurama from fully escaping.

[@michaeldavis3696]

How fast would you have to move to create an after image? I assume at least several times the speed of sound. You also don’t need to move at the speed of lightning to use the chidori. The raikage is known for his lightning speed, and sasuke couldn’t exactly keep up with him way later in the series. So i would say speed is comparable. Goku was able to jump into the clouds, and able to move a boulder the size of city apartment building. Also could power through girens gum, which is strong enough to hold a huge river dam together. So his strength is definitely superior. I believe gokus only difficulty in the finals, sasuke or maybe gaara. Simply because sasuke has the sharingan, and gara has an ultimate defense. However i dont think Goku would be affected by gaara’s sand burial. His durability was astounding and being crushed by boulders and able to escape without harm. I give goku a win on this.

[@Coldskin1]

Naruto's feats against the Snake were calced to scale to Small Town Level the calc is just fan made head canon naruto was pushed against a tree, no way you can prove that feat is any way near town level gaara sand tsumoni the closest thing any near town level, but gaara vs deidara is the real town level feat.

[@omnipresentl1316]

Dude I haven't even watched this video and for all my love of Naruto, even Kid Goku was approaching light speed and was one of the best martial artists on Earth so yeah I say he can easily pass the physical parts but whoever his teammates are have to hard carry the written part.

@@heroricspiritfreinen38 I mean when I made the comment, meaning I knew Goku was gonna pass the exams because of how powerful he was even as a kid. ...Minus the writing exam.

Kid Goku is nowhere near light speed, by the time he meets Kami he has to train to get to lightning speed.

3:39 Goku lived on a mountain infested with dinosaurs and generally hostile and giant wild animals for years, how bad could it possibly be? 3:45 Ah... Now I see the problem...

[@smyominuma1168]

The fastest feat in the Chunin Exams is Lee breaking the sound barrier with the Gates to beat Gaara around. Sasuke is only faster than Base Lee, and so are Neji and Naruto. How are they 'high hypersonic'? I don't agree with the Multi City-Block level thing. All that snake did was crush trees. Even if that wasn't so, only a transformed Gaara would scale physically. You were right about Goku not scaling to Roshi's full power, at least.

[@qtindavis433]

I believe goku can pass it. hes still more durable and faster than everyone there.

[@jeanrushmer8192]

The real question, would a selection of the generals Goku faces be able to survive?

[@Mordaedil]

I think to answer this question, we don't have to look much further than Captain Purple in Muscle Tower. Guy was using a bunch of ninja arts and stuff that Naruto references heavily. I think Goku has what it takes based on his performance at muscle tower, which took place not long after the first tournament. The major upset might be the monster forms and maybe Lee's power boost being able to overwhelm Goku a little bit as those were techniques not trumped until much later in Goku's journey.

[@Ethercloud]

That power pole would get some great play.

[@huskymetal6678]

1: goku could just destroy the forest 2: all the ninjas would probably die by splattering on contact with goku lol.

[@KelbPanthera]

Not a snowball's chance he passes the Chunin exam from early Naruto. He'd get absolutely bodied on the written exam. Goku's barely literate. Can't absolutely steamroll the practical portions of the exam if you can't get to 'em. Gotta remember. Naruto was a rude little imp but he chose to act out that way because of other issues in his life. He knew how to act properly if he felt it was necessary and that includes in school. Goku, on the other hand, half-raised himself in the woods after his grandpa died when he was still to young to even have entered the Ninja Academy if he had been in that world. His lack of social grace is the result of his upbringing, such as it was. Goku would've tried to cheat because he's clever enough he'd have either figured it out or his lack of social understanding would've prevented him from understanding that it was morally wrong. If he had grown up in the ninja world, it would 100% be the former because if there was one thing Goku did throughout the entire dragonball saga it was obey his instructors almost without question. He's basically never shown any capacity for stealth and almost none for subterfuge though. Forest of death; absolute brute-force win. No problem. Tournament; laughable cake-walk. The power-scaling in DB and Naruto is just too different for him not to have been an unstoppable force at age 12-13, when he took on the Tenkaichi Budoukai the first time. Written exam; totally unmitigated failure.

[@senpai5175]

I'm pretty sure that even Naruto was allowed to participate in next round after failing the exam

[@KelbPanthera]

@@senpai5175 Nope. Plot-armor pass. He didn't get caught cheating because he didn't try and the first 9 questions were tossed out when the tenth was accepted. Accepting the tenth question was the correct answer to it so he passed without having ever actually written anything on the sheet but his name. Goku would've tried and would've got caught because of personallity differences between him and Naruto.

One thing that could favor Goku on the Chunin Exams on both stages (the forest and the fights) is the flying nimbus. He couldn't use it on the Budokai but on Chunin Exams we see characters using external tools all the time. Having the higher ground would be detrimental on 1v1 fights at this point since there's nothing much the Naruto characts could do at this point. And for the forest I guess it's pretty obvious, it's fast and make your navigation easier.

[@metal87power]

but goku during the 1st tournament was taught and trained by roshi so he is less uneducated and less gullible he also uses smell quite efficiently

[@jdrmanmusiqking]

City block level? Bro Goku was moving literal mountains during the Roshi training BEFORE the tournament... Goku was murking Giant Dinosaurs bigger than Orochi's snake before even meeting Roshi.... You are greatly understating Goku's base strength and speed. Krillin and Goku were so fast that they had to replay their fight in slow motion for announcer bro The rest of the analysis was interesting and really had me thinking but the strength analysis was sus. Dragonball characters just scale differently than most shows so most of these comparisons are silly. DB characters were bulletproof very early on ninjustsu and kunai wouldn't do anything If Goku passed the written, the rest would be pure cake walk city

[@Coldskin1]

thats not a mountain, thats a bolder the miniunum high for a mountain is 2000 feet, taller than skycrappers, the rock that goku and krillin pushed is only like 30 feet. atleast its over 100 tons

[@jdrmanmusiqking]

@@Coldskin1 bro rewatch "Goku and Krillin move rock 480p" That thing wasnt a mountain but it was MASSIVE and child goku moved it while wearing the weighted turtle shell. Oh yeah and this was BEFORE ROSHI TRAINING! He had to move the rock just to earn training from Roshi in the first place... Goku after the 21st Budokai is no lower than Kage level but probably higher

It was mostly a comedic stretch, don't take it literally. It waz just emotional emphasus, mere embellishment for the audience to laugh.

@@linyenchin6773 regardless, Goku after the 21 Budokai would absolutely stomp the Narutoverse save for the dudes at the top like Madara, Juubi, End Game Naruto/Sasuke etc Lee is getting absolutely folded

The thing people have to realize about farmer with shotgun having a power level of 5 is that it’s because he was a farmer WITH SHOTGUN. The shotgun is what raised his battle power above a normal person.

[@daddyGbaby]

thats true it is shown that the scouter evaluates equipment's along with body like when goku and piccolo power level increase when they took of their weighted clothing

that shotgun will kill is enough any one in the chunin exam if giving a direct hit even gaara (w/o sand)

[@samuelhaverghast2442]

No, he would not, he would win the battle that is for sure, but the Chunin exams isn't just about battle strength, its a test of leadership skills and the abiltiy to think ahead to complete the mission as safely as possible so that there is chance.. you and your squad, comes home..it is why Shikamaru became Chunin, he had all those qualities they were looking for, it took the rest of the rookies 2 to 3 years to become chunin
