1. Goku
2. #17
3. Vegeta
4. Gohan
5. Boo
6. Piccolo
7. #18
8. Kuririn
9. Tenshinhan
9. Roshi

Vegeta seems to be getting relegated to a secondary role, whilst characters like Gohan seem to be playing his role as the secondary protagonist this arc. Goku is obviously always the strongest as long as he has Kaioken. #17 seems to be getting a lot of attention lately and, even though we only have 1-second scene of the NEP to judge his power, I really wouldn't be surprised if he faces Toppo in the tournament and becomes the second strongest in the U7 team. Between Boo and Gohan, it's a toss-up, as Boo got a lot stronger, but I'm sure he'll lose that power-up and Gohan will become stronger. The status quo continues to be the same for the remaining members.

I hope. One trip in the ROSAT for her could do wonders.

At this point ROSAT would do wonders to everyone not named Goku and Vegeta. Too bad it seems like it won't be used...

Id wish 17 would get the second strongest title in u7 team, however i find it hard to believe they'd make him stronger over Vegeta.

Still tho, judging by the preview, the whole episode will be about him and he seems to not be bothered with ssj blue Goku's punch. Ofc, only the actually episode will tell.

Tho, it could also be, since Toei made 17 super strong in GT, and since GT failed, they want to retry their hand on android 17 and powering him up to Goku's level.

There's still time. I can imagine a scenario where they all cram into the ROSAT at once and train together for like 12 hours.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Aren't we overestimating 17 a bit too much?
Then again I might be wrong, predicting strength is plain dumb at this point :roll:

Goku
Vegeta
Gohan
17
Piccolo
Buu
18
Krillin
Tien
Roshi

Honestly think 17, Piccolo and Buu could be interchangable. Put 17 as top dog of the three due to him being a major draw for this arc.

Krillin and Tien could possibly switch since they always seemed pretty close in power.

Yeah I noticed that :lol:
But goku had the same expression in the beam struggle with Krillin, like he was trying hard to push back..

I chalk it up to him getting blue down to the same power as his opponent and thus just testing their ability instead of power

It surely can't be what it seems. I don't think Toriyama would make 17 a lot more powerful than 18.

As long as Buu remains skinny, nearly all promotional material should be ignored.

17 will stay in the bottom half.

OK, more serious answer.
I think it'll be Goku> Vegeta > 18 > Gohan > buu > Piccolo> 18> Krillin> Tien > Roshi, but who knows super don't play no games, and doesn't pull any punches.
Nah seing latest preview it goes like
Goku>Vegeta>17>Gohan

Agree about the rest, dont know if Tien is gonna get a power boost as well placing him above Krillin until then i reserve my judgement

It wont happen never again, dont set up yourself for disappointment with a silly magazine that has as much value as the video games. Goku is the hero, thus he will remain the strongest, if Gohan does surpass him and thats a pretty big IF its just gonna be temporary like when Vegeta surpassed Goku in the black arc for two episodes

There is no way to spin this scene, its all but confirmed 17 is on the God tier which makes him the third strongest in the U7 team. Unless this was a dream/Mental training

Not hard to imagine with him getting a dedicated training episode coming up.

I think there is a chance Tien might get a power boost as well placing him over Krillin, he has been training all this time after all

Honestly it could go either way, with the current info we have i would put my money on 17 being stronger
For this arc at least i think they are gonna use Gohan as a team strategist/coach rather than a heavy hitter
