    Tao pai pai is the greatest assasin in the world, and is closer to powerhouse tier than mid tier, like many DB characters.

    No Caption Provided

    Strength:

    He killed general blue with HIS TONGUE.

    No Caption Provided

    The same general blue survived this thing without much injury

    No Caption Provided
    No Caption Provided

    He killed bora easily.

    No Caption Provided

    Bora can survive tank HUGE machineguns without scratch

    No Caption Provided

    Which means he could throw the spear at massively faster speed than even machineguns, with so much force that th spear penetrated into someone who couldn't even be scratched by machineguns.

    Breaks a pillar with one finger:

    Throws it at a speed that he can go 2300 km and come back in 30 minutes.

    No Caption Provided

    (feat calculation)

    Tao pai pai = 1.72m , the pillar is about 1.8x his height = about 3 m.

    The relative diameter is about 1/6 of the length of pillar = 0.5 m

    Volume = 0.607 m^3 , mass ~= 1.51 ton + 0.07 ton (tao) = 1.58 ton

    ______

    Horizontal speed = 2555.56 m/s

    Speed needed = 3614 m/s (absolute minimum)

    Energy ~= 1.03 x 10^10 J ,

    equivalent of lifting 800,000 TONS overhead

    But , remember that:

    He did it twice = 2.06 x 10^10 J

    He did it casually-one handed.

    He still had most of his energy left intact , in which he used dodonpa against goku. Even after including all this, he wasn't a bit tiredSo, he must have ATLEAST half of his energy still remaining after the battle. Also, common logic indicates that dodonpa's energy > Pillar's energy.

    So:

    E = 8.2 x 10^10 J (ATLEAST)

    This is equivalent to being able to lift 5,000,000 tons off the ground to over his head. However, he will nearly die in using that much power.

    Speed:

    He can operate in atleast low milliseconds, if not better.

    Krillin was already operating in high milliseconds at 21st TB , & general blue was faster than him.

    Goku was a good bit faster than general blue, and he couldn't touch tao.

    His pillar jumping reaction feat

    He jumped on pillar before it traveled a few dozen m. This gives his reaction time at less than a few milliseconds, and possibly microseconds.

    Combat speed:

    He threw pillar at ATLEAST 3614 m/s

    He jumped on the pillar at atleast 2x the speed pillar was going (otherwise he may not be able to catch it)

    Combat speed >= 7200 m/s ~= 26,000 km/h

    Durability

    He tanks a kamehameha

    No Caption Provided

    Durability : can tank possibly mid mountain level without much effort.

    Energy output:

    According to roshi , dodonpa > regular kamehameha , and this is tao's dodonpa.

    Also , since tao is stronger than (pre karin) goku , it is pretty fair to say that tao's dodonpa > goku's KHH

    Energy output : possibly mid - high mountain level

    CYBORG TAO:

    Strength:

    No Caption Provided

    Krillin himself says that tao pai pai is stronger than ever. So, Tao pai pai can now exert physical force much higher than 5 million tons

    No Caption Provided

    He is confident to beat Tien , and so is his brother Tsuresenin (master shen in dub) , who knows how strong was tien back then. Indicates Cyborg tao > 22nd TB tien

    No Caption Provided

    Tao says tien has gotten better than before , but this means he knew how strong was he before, again implying that he > 22nd TB tien.

    It's just too bad for him that tien has become incredibly , incredibly stronger.

    Speed:

    Obviously increased a good deal since his organic days.

    As evident from above scans, he is most likely faster than 22nd TB tien , who is atleast 2x faster than organic tao.

    Speed : >= 14,400 m/s ~= 52,000 km/h

    Energy output:

    He has super dodonpa:

    No Caption Provided
    No Caption Provided

    Just to mention the following points:

    • Master roshi destroyed moon at 21st TB with his super kamehameha
    • He then trained for 22nd TB , becoming massively stronger
    • Then he admits inferiority to tien, who wasn't even going all-out.
    • Then he says that a regular dodonpa >> regular kamehameha

    From above points, we deduce:

    • Cyborg Tao is > 22nd TB tien > 22nd TB roshi > Moon blowing roshi
    • Super dodonpa >= Super kamehameha >> Moon

    Energy output: Most likely moon + level

    Durability :

    unknown, mid mountain + level atleast

    Debunking the lowballing:

    1. Tao couldn't survive a bomb, how can he survive hits from the likes from the thing or collosus or anyone

    The bomb was not a weak one. Given that his dodonpa was already capable of mid-high mountain power , and still failed to take goku out, but he believed that the bomb will do the trick , the bomb must be MUCH stronger than his best effort dodonpa

    2. Tao as a cyborg has only low showings, he didn't do anything to put him above regular tao. He is actually weaker

    Krillin said he was much stronger

    Tsuresenin said he was much stronger

    Tao said he was much stronger

    Tao & Tsuresenin were confident that he will be able to take out tien (who has improved from 22nd TB) , and they both know tien's strength perfectly well. It is just sheer bad-luck for him that tien improved too much to rival goku.

    He also has feats - he beat chaotzu incredibly worse (a weaker chaotzu could freeze 22nd TB goku)

    3. Tao is not intelligent , & will lose by being dumb.

    Tao never once showed being dumb. He is actually one of the most intelligent guys. He always had plans for back him up - like that sword and incredibly powerful bomb.

    He hid a knife in his arms as he returned as a cyborg even though he was extremely powerful.

    Note that he killed him by the blunt end, not sharp end.

    It was actually the sharp end of the spear that killed bora.

    Other than that pretty good respect thread.

    Nice thread however I don't like to use calcs because I know Toriyama didn't think of things like that. However these are still impressive feats.

    In battle threads on other websites people always seem to ignore Taopaipai's obvious speed and power when they pit Dragon Ball Characters against other universes like Juan Piece, Detergent, and NAUTO like these guys who thought Doflamingo could easily beat Piccolo Daimao.

    Volume = 0.607 m^3 , mass ~= 1.51 ton + 0.07 ton (tao) = 1.58 ton

    Did you run a regression to get these stats? Nice thread btw!

    @sean12345: Tap pai pai's height is used from guidebooks, and the size of pillar is calculated from approx pixel scaling from various pages.

    Some approximation is made however.
