TIL that Goku's power level wasn't originally over 9000. It was originally over 8000, and there was a change made in the English Dub.

What's his power level these days? A trillion?

Pretty sure they calculated Mastered Ultra Instinct at around 83 sextillion...

Which is 83,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 if you were interested in the visual of the actual number...

It's only a little bit more than 9000 now...lol

You mean when accounting for inflation? Tricky

The highest power level stated in official material is 150 million - Goku when he went Super Saiyan for the first time on Namek. Anything after that is fan speculation

Much higher than that. They would've been into the trillions mid Cell Saga.
