Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Scouter (战力探测器) |
| Alias(es) | Battle Power Detector; Combat Power Detector |
| Occupation/Role | Device for measuring Battle Power; some models also provide alerts, target information, or communication 4 25 80 |
| First Appearance | Talot uses an upgraded Combat Power Detector v2.0 while concealing his strength 1 |
Background / History
Talot uses a Scouter on Planet Vegeta to monitor his ki fluctuations while keeping his displayed Battle Power at 350, below his true strength 1 6. His upgraded detector reads Kakarot's Battle Power as 2 and also displays a danger level and basic information 4.
After leaving Planet Vegeta, Talot dismantles a detector and destroys modules on its circuit board, including its communication function 25. Dr. Brief later installs a new module that lets the modified detectors communicate with one another again 57. Brief and Bulma subsequently develop more capable Battle Power detectors and Virtual Glasses 96 111 125.
Abilities & Functions
Battle Power measurement
- A Scouter displays a target's Battle Power as a numerical reading. Talot uses one to measure Kakarot, Gine, Selari, and himself 4 26 34 57.
- Readings can be misleading when a fighter suppresses their ki. Talot conceals his true strength from detectors before deliberately releasing it for Gine to measure 1 6 26.
- A detector can sound a warning when it identifies nearby fighters or a dangerous rise in power 75 80 87.
Communication
- Detectors can carry communications and distress signals, though Talot disables those functions while modifying one aboard his spaceship 25.
- Brief's replacement module restores communication between the modified detectors 57.
Measurement limits
A Scouter can overload and explode when a reading exceeds its capacity. The documented limits vary by model 84 87 96.
| Device or model | Documented capacity or result |
|---|---|
| Vegeta's Scouter | Explodes as Selari's reading reaches 22,000 84 |
| Latest-model Scouters worn by Bazi and Katz | Maximum reading of 160,000; explode as Talot's power continues rising 87 |
| Top-tier Scouter worn by Dore | Explodes when Talot's reading passes 300,000 96 |
| Earth-made Battle Power Detectors | Can measure up to 1,000,000 at this point in the story 96 |
Later Technology
| Device | Documented improvement |
|---|---|
| Upgraded Battle Power Detectors | Bulma raises their measurement range to the hundred-million level 111 |
| Virtual Glasses v1.0 | Three models have limits between 200 million and 300 million 125 |
| Virtual Glasses v2.0 | Can measure up to 500 million 125 |
| Virtual Glasses v3.0 | Can measure up to ten billion 132 |
| Later Virtual Glasses | Automatically identify fighters and display biological and body-structure data; a later model measures Battle Power up to the trillion-unit range 133 273 |
