Same people who use this arguement also try to downgrade the Kikoho. Based on your reasoning you should have no qualms on saying Tien was comparable to 2nd form Cell. And dont head canon or make up something. The Kikoho is a pure Ki attack. Does not use life force which is a common mistake. Its like when Goku uses too much Kaioken or fires a powerful Kamehameha. Using so much energy at once can kill you. Like Vegetas suicide attack. Kikoho is destruction as said by Roshi and guide books. Was Vegeta comparible to Perfect Cell when the Final Flash tore off half his body? No!!! So pushing someone or even seriously injuring someone with a energy wave does not make you comparible.Doctor. wrote:Goku wouldn't even need to turn Super Saiyan if Kuririn wasn't comparable to him. Kuririn's blasts wouldn't have the necessary power to even push Goku off if Goku was ridiculously stronger. Do you see Super Boo getting pushed back by Kuririn's blast? If the answer is no, then you're acknowledging Goku isn't that strong. If the answer is yes, then you're acknowledging Kuririn is comparable to Goku.supersaiyangodgogeta wrote:Krillin needed to use strategy against both base Goku and Gohan. And Goku only turned Super Saiyan so he wouldn't get pushed out, not because krillins blasts were a legitimate threat to him.
Now to actually tell what happened. Krillin was no match for a base Gohan in hand to hand combat. Gohan wasnt full base power and underestimating Krillin. With Goku and Krillin. Goku made no effort to go on the offensive. Instead was testing Krillin on if he can actually land an attack. So pushing a base Goku who was already sliding from a previous attack is just momentum in a out of bounds setting. 18 was able to make 2nd form Cell slide with an attack many times. Was she comparable to 2nd form Cell? No.
