Fans are constantly sparking debates around the strength of their favourite characters, even if the answers aren't immediately obvious. Would Goku from Dragon Ball win in a fight against Mama from Cooking Mama? We might never know. Canonicity means little when these matchups take place after all, because it's all in the imagination. It doesn't matter why Mama has taken up a spatula against Goku - only that she might win.
