She nearly attacked her own teammate like twice.
The explanation is that she has that super-special-awesome-green-berserk-donotsteal-form. No other character in the cast who did rage boosts did the same thing, which is why we can buy that it goes above and beyond what happened previously.
I'm fine with it because this is her introduction as a character. She is introduced as a meek girl with immense self-loathing who can turn into a hulking green rage monster of incredible power, and that works for me because that is her character concept. It's not like she was introduced a while ago and then suddenly now she has this power, the power was part of her original introduction. Just like we can believe a 1,000 year old assassin who can stop time for a decisecond or two and strike at pressure points, I can believe a female Saiyan who looks like Broly and acts like Bruce Banner/the Hulk.
I don't see how it being the introduction to Kale makes it better. Like, yeah, Hit was introduced with his abilities but they were abilities that he had actually worked on. Kale's strength is literally something she's experiencing at the same time as we are, and that's the part that makes it ridiculous.
No other "hidden potential" character has been written as lazily as she has.
I might have been able to accept Kale being some kind of super freak genius like that if her personality was at all appealing. Like I'm basically neutral on Caulifla now because yeah, she's a super genius but she has an okay personality. And also because just being something of a freak in terms of development just isn't enough to let her match up to guys that are also freaks and have been fighting and training for decades. Goku was just having fun with her and was in no serious danger at any point.
Hm. I was kind of interested in Cabba because he was very unlike the typical Saiyan but then Kale comes along and is even more atypical and I hate her.

For the record, in the manga, the only God-tier characters have been Goku Black, Merged Zamasu and Toppo, who is stated to have Godly ki. Golden Freeza hasn't appeared yet, and Hit is basically Weak, but Skilled compared to God-tier characters due to the nature of his moves. The tournament has yet to start, but I suspect we will only see God/Blue when dealing with Toppo and Jiren.
Blue is still a very big deal in the manga, yet far below Beerus' power. Goku still uses SS 2 and 3 to gauge the power of strong mortals, like 17.
And Toei has no idea of how to power scale, no matter what PMC may write essays about.

Actually, manga Hit powered up after Goku started beating him up in God. Granted, he was really unused to using his full power, so he could only use his Time-skip one time and it didn't even work because of Goku's quick transformation into Blue. Also, their fight ended there rather anticlimactically without either of them landing a single attack. Still, it's possible that once manga Hit gets back into shape for the Tournament of Power, his strength may exceed SSG at least.
Also, again, the manga did SS2 Vegeta > SS2 Black > base Black > MSS2 Trunks > SS3 Goku. That is just as bad, if not worse, than anything the Super anime's ever done.

Speaking as someone who personally doesn't care a ton about the power scaling in Dragonball a lot.. the Super anime is absolutely horrific when it comes to that. There is just zero defence for things like Caulifla getting SSJ 2 straight away, basically all the shot Trunks does in the Goku Black arc, etc. If I did care about DB power consistency the Super Anime would drive me apoplectic.
"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"I've longed accepted that Super is just stupid as fuck, so I'm literally just rolling with it. It's easier that way. I will say though, some of you are really jumping through hoops to make sense of all of this and I'm wondering if it's even worth it?
Like holy crap, I'm almost positive the writers don't care anywhere near about the power scaling or consistency as some of the posters in this thread or on other websites.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.I haven't really been reading the manga but I will say that, personally, a big one time inconsistency is not nearly as bad to me as basically constant inconsistencies of varying levels. The manga seems to have the former since it's the only thing you bring up, the anime by contrast, is constantly doing the latter, also with the bonus of the inconsistencies being fairly large. The anime loses out just for making a habit of it, and clearly not caring.

All that really establishes is that everyone who can break the arena in this tournament is stronger than base Buu Saga Gohan.
