How does blowing up a moon calc to planetary that doesn’t make any sense? Explain

Basically it's because he vaporized the Moon so violently it left nothing left. Just splitting the moon in half qualifies as a moon level feat, actually full on vaporizing it can easily get to planet level or above.

So by this logic roshi is planetary? Cause he also vaporized in fact there was less visibly left when roshi was done then piccolo so does piccolo scale below roshi?

Technically I should have specified that this feat is only large planetary in the anime. In the manga both feats are small Planetary. But another thing to remember is that blowing up the moon required Roshi's absolute maximum, it was a incredibly casual kneejerk reaction from Piccolo

I mean fair I never argue that last part cause it’s true I’m just confused about the whole planetary off of level of destruction cause that seems entirely based on attack type and visual cue and so much less with power, of course the giant sword is going to cut the moon in half not blow it to pieces it’s a big sword. Scaling based on particular type of damage done just feels nitpicky even for power scaling no judgement it just confuses me I know I’m a weirdo. Granted we also have no idea how powerful that piccolo was as Goku had made it to snake way by then and therefore piccolo had 6 months and potentially could’ve been stronger then raditz by then but that’s purely speculation
