Why is the western fanbase more obsessed with powerlevels than the east?
Think about it. Dragonball pretty much had numerical powerlevels for the sake of proving they don't matter. People take those seriously.
OPM is a literal parody. People still take it seriously.
Fuck, Japan doesn't care about Elder God Demonbane's meta bullshit, because they don't think it matters as a whole, yet the western fanbase loves to wank it.
Because shonenshit is watched by autists and children, both of which are not sufficiently smart to know the irrelevance of powerlevels bullshit.

People like cohesivness and structures.
Power levels gave a way to know who was the shit and not.Also all the transformations,enabled powerlevel changes,and showed progress the character had attained through hard work

Because it's fun. It's serious but it's interesting since it involves both knowledge and some imagination.

Our autists are worse than theirs. It's that simple.

Superhero culture is my best guess. People in the west got so used to arguing about Superman vs the flash or other xyz vs zyx bullshit that when those same autists got into manga/anime they carried it over with them.

Looks good
I'm an autist so I only gave a shit about powerlevels until I was 7 or something when I played games, it got mundane afterwards. There are other more interesting ways to write the manner and outcomes of fights than to let numerical values and "power-ups" decide.

That's not what it was. It was played straight on DB.
Western fans of these battle anime are absolute retarded bottom barrel trash with sub 80 IQs most of the time.
