Default The power of 12

Something I always notice is how often 12 is used for the powerlevels of:

Radditz: 1,200 (manga)
Captain Ginyu: 120,000 (manga)
Freeza: 120,000,000 (daizenshuu)
Supreme Kai: 120,000,000,000 (hypothetical)

What do you all think? 12 just seems like a good number? Has anyone ever noticed this?

It's just three instances, lol.

But yes, 12 is a good number in anything.

Captain Ginyu: 120,000 (manga) 4x0 or +2x0
Freeza: 120,000,000 (daizenshuu) 7x0 or +3x0
Supreme Kai: 120,000,000,000 (hypothetical) 10x0 or +3x0

Most of the levels in my list are divisible by 12 or 9... I'm a sucker for the number 3 really :p

SSj3 Goku: 720,000,000,000
Ultimate Gohan: 3,600,000,000,000
SSj Vegetto: 18,000,000,000,000

All 5x stronger than each other :D

And yeah, it's being read into way too much IMO.

Akira just liked the number 12 I guess.
