So! I know people have been bandying about the amount by which Kakara powered up, which was based on a quick and dirty back of the envelope calc on my part. But I have little else to do at the moment, so I went into slightly more detail, and it turns out that the power-up was a good deal more impressive that the number being shared.
For those uninterested in the precise quantity of biggatons at play: "lots." Take the spirit bomb that killed Buu and have a population of saiyan warriors with an average power level of 1.5 million adding oomph to it. Unless this dragon's esoteric abilities are potent to the point of this whole event chain being an elaborate murder attempt on my part, the question you are handling here is not, "can Kakara win this?" it's, "how would Kakara like to resolve this situation?" If that is as far as your interest runs, that is perfectly fine, because that's as relevant as the question is getting. When I was first asked what the power up looked like, my response was to pick up my phone and try and calculate the answer. My phone could not display the required numbers. My answer was, "The scouter exploded. Does that answer your question?"
That's as specific as we need to get to follow along with current events, and the text will be going into about that level of detail. "Berra, what's her power level?!" "Enough."
For those keenly interested in the precise quantity of biggatons...
EDIT: For fuck's sake, the adult Exile population's average power level is 2 million, not 1.5, I keep making this mistake.
The number of biggatons are in fact drastically higher still.

The number currently being bandied about is, "over 300 billion," which is indeed based on my initial estimate of 311,750,000,000, or 311.75 billion. That said, I almost immediately realized that I was lowballing it; the result of a bad estimate on the saiyan youth population's effect on average power levels. I got a better one and recalculated.
Surely there are a whole mess of factors I am not considering, but the final figure is 435,505,167,000, rounded to the nearest thousand (it's actually a few hundred higher, but it felt weird nickle-and-diming the Misfit's contribution like that when everybody else got nice round numbers, and it really doesn't matter in this case). 435.505167 billion, or to truly truncate it, 435.5 billion. Of course, as discussed, this is not one big block of power level, but rather every single power level in the solar system acting in otherwise-impossible concert, producing an effect identical to that massive figure without feeling like that massive figure.
Complicating matters somewhat further is the fact that I just now realized that this only comprises the conscious, willing contributions of the sapient beings in the system. So, quick re-calc. Pre-donations this was on par with a Freeza Saga Genki Dama, which was thought credibly threatening to 50% power Freeza, but obviously could not in fact kill him once he powered up to resist it. Call it equivalent to 75% power Freeza because quick and dirty is the name of the game today, and we're bandying millions on a hundreds-of-billions figure. 90,000,000; 90 million. Thus, the total composite power level of Spirit Saiyan Kakara is 435,595,167,000; 435.595167; 435.6 billion. Enough to amp up the tenths place of the hyper-reduced form of that number by one.
Truly, a form whose biggatons shall remain meaningful and decisive contributors for a long time to come...as long as you stay on Garenhuld.
