^No, a little more needs to be said.

I've seen this argument brought up a lot in Vs Forums. It honestly surprises me how many people take the Heisei monsters being Solar System level as fact. Solar System level SpaceGodzilla comes from a feat that is at best contradictory and at worst unquantifiable. Getting sucked into a black hole and shot out a white hole means SpaceGodzilla would have had to pass through a singularity. This kind of feat tends to lead to no limits fallacies due to the characters having to withstand infinite pressure, and calculations that try to put a finite number to the durability required to survive a black hole rely on speculation about a phenomenon even physicists don't fully understand.

Plus, the fact that SpaceGodzilla's black hole had crystals inside it (cells were stated to have merged with crystals, not grown them) suggests real-world physics may not apply to the black hole anyway.

I've also seen people argue that SpaceGodzilla is at least Star level due to absorbing radiation from a supernova. This is also a claim that is very generous with its assumptions. It assumes that SpaceGodzilla absorbed all of a supernova's energy, which is impossible because an explosion emits energy in all directions and SpaceGodzilla is nanoscopic compared to a supernova explosion. We also don't know his proximity to the supernova, so for all we know he merely absorbed stray radiation lightyears away from the source.

Planet level Mothra/Battra is also questionable. Since multiple planets in the Toho universe have died from life-wiping, it's possible that the meteor Mothra and Battra were stated to be able to destroy was merely life-wiping rather than planet-busting. Even the shobijins' story in Godzilla vs. Mothra shows that the Earth created Battra to protect itself from life energy-draining machines, which would have sucked the life energy from the planet similar to what Desghidorah did to Mars in Rebirth of Mothra. Technically, planet-busting is still a valid interpretation of the statement, but it's not a given.

That means Heisei Godzilla can't reasonably be scaled to cosmic levels of power without relying on generous assumptions.
