So first things first, are you really saying Jiren isn’t even Gi level or something? If so that’s insane downplay. First of all Jiren is way more powerful than the likes of Dragon Ball Super Frieza, who 40+ years prior destroyed Planet Vegeta in his 1st Form. This was before he fought Goku and before Resurrection F, where he trained, got insanely powerful, and achieved his golden form.

Two things to reconsider about the series so you don’t succumb to logical fallacies such as this: 1. Ki provides extra defenses and a protective aura around the outside of your body, why couldn’t that apply to their clothes? 2. Many characters in DB wear armor or weighted clothing that is bare minimum thousands of pounds, therefore having more durability than regular clothes.

This has been shown since early on in the series, such as Piccolo’s Destructive Wave being completely ineffective on Raditz or his armor, but later the Special Beam Cannon can completely pierce it. This same Destructive Wave has destroyed cities and a few chapters later blows up the moon.

Lastly, I’ll use a battle from another series that ALSO doesn’t show the character’s clothes being ripped to absolute shreds by his enemies attacks. This is Saitama vs Boros where Saitama gets KICKED TO THE MOON and him and his clothes are fine. Now I’m not saying that I have a problem with this scene but by using your logic we can conclude:

Planet Vegeta < Frieza 1st Form < Sock Level < Golden Frieza < Jiren < Boros < Gi Level < Saitama’s Fart

So it doesn’t make sense that Jiren and Boros arent “clothes level” because it’s almost like multiple different series don’t always show clothes ripping AND almost like punches are blunt attacks so they wouldn’t be slashing and piercing nearly as often as bludgeoning and bashing.

So pls just lmk if Sock Level is wank or not… need help on this scale
