General Blue's estimated power level is generally considered to be in the range of 100 to 110. This places him as one of the more formidable antagonists during the early arcs of Dragon Ball, particularly within the Red Ribbon Army Saga.
General Blue's Capabilities and Feats
General Blue's power level is indicative of his impressive physical attributes and unique abilities for his time in the series. His notable capabilities and feats include:
- Exceptional Durability: He demonstrated remarkable resilience, notably being able to survive a crash into a mountain, showcasing a level of toughness far beyond that of a typical human or even many early Dragon Ball characters.
- Precision and Offensive Prowess: Despite not relying on energy blasts like later Dragon Ball villains, Blue's physical strength and combat skill were significant. He could easily cut a palm, highlighting his precise and effective close-quarters combat abilities.
- Unique Powers: Beyond raw physical strength, Blue possessed psychic abilities, such as paralysis, which made him a particularly challenging and unpredictable opponent for Goku and his allies.
Context in Early Dragon Ball Power Levels
In the initial Dragon Ball series, explicit power levels were not frequently stated or measured with scouters as they would become in Dragon Ball Z. However, fan and official estimations provide context for characters' strength based on their demonstrated abilities and performance against known benchmarks. General Blue's strength was considerable enough to push Goku to his limits in several encounters, especially before Goku's later power-ups through training and transformations. His tactical intelligence, combined with his physical prowess, made him a truly dangerous adversary for the Z-Fighters during their early adventures.
His estimated power level of 100-110 signifies a character who is significantly stronger than the average human (who might have a power level of around 5), capable of superhuman feats, and a genuine threat to characters like early Goku.
