Codex Statistics

Grade: B

Tier: At least 7-A

Cardinality: Finite

Dimensionality: 3-D

Power Source: Ki (All beings in Dragon Ball[1][2][3] have ki, the very life force energy of all characters[4], ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even[5] block attacks that would otherwise[6] kill them from[7] raising their guard[8], higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them[9])

Attack Potency: At least Metropolis level (Soba has a power level of 14,000,000 while 100% final form Frieza has a power level of 12,000,000. Making him far above the likes of Nappa who casually destroyed a city and stood within the blast without having any damage, and Raditz who can cause explosions dwarfing the mountains, which results in these levels of energy)

Durability: At least Metropolis level, Higher with Guard Up (Ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even block attacks that would otherwise kill them from raising their guard)

Striking Strength: At least Metropolis Class

Lifting Strength: At least Class 10 (Superior to Ginyu Saga Son Goku who trained and got his body used to moving in 100 times gravity, where he's naturally 62 kg, thus making him 6200 kg or 6.2 tons)

Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Superior to Super Saiyan Son Goku on Namek, who previously in his base form traveled from Frieza's ship over to Vegeta in this timeframe)

Attack Speed: Massively Hypersonic+

Reaction Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Far beyond 22nd Budokai Son Goku, who could dodge a mouth blast from Tambourine, which he used to tag the flying nimbus where even post King Kai training Goku used the flying nimbus to make it to the saiyans implying it is at least comparable to his flight speed by then, with Goku being capable of traveling over a million of kilometers in two days which results in these speeds)

Stamina: Superhuman (Can fight with Super Saiyan Goku for a considerable amount of time without tiring)

Range: Standard Melee, Interstellar with Ki Attacks (Ki attacks can reach out of the planet and to other planets. All ki attacks should be comparable to Goku's kamehameha, which reached all the way to the sun), Interstellar with Instant Transmission (Instant Transmission. Can forcibly send his opponent to other places such as heaven)

Intelligence: Unknown

Notable Techniques

  • Full Power Energy Ball: A powered up ki ball.
  • Continuous Energy Bullet: Soba is capable of rapidly firing energy blasts.
  • Hurricane: Soba spins and launches himself at his foe.
  • Instant Transmission: The teleportation technique created and used by the Yardrats.

Other

Standard Tactics: Soba will use hand to hand attacks along with ki attacks and his instant transmission.

Weaknesses

Note

  • Some clips used on the profile come from an anime or movie due to the fact that some abilities from ki use shouldn't function much differently from how they can in canon, along with this sometimes the anime version/video game version of a scene will be used for cleaner visuals. Toriyama himself directly overlooks scenes in the anime and movies and gives Toei the thumbs up[111].
  • The speed scaling for PLs are taken with a grain of salt as there are noticeable times where someone's speed isn't equal to their power, such as Burter being faster then Recoome and Jeice, along with Super Saiyan Grade 3 Trunks having his power greatly increased but his speed decreased.

Trivia

  • Soba's name is a pun on the Japanese word for noodles, which happens to be "Soba".
  • Soba was originally the name of Emperor Pilaf's dog-like henchman, who was later renamed Shu.
  • Soba looks very similar to Kishime, one of the three Bio-Warriors that serve Dr. Wheelo. Kishime's name is also a reference to noodles.
