How strong is Tapion?
I can’t be the only one who’s wondered how strong Tapion is, right? He’s clearly a very impressive and skilled swordsmen, but what’s his battle power? It doesn’t seem like he has much to go off of, considering his Brave Sword does most of the work. All I can think is that he’s probably stronger than Frieza but that’s it. Nothing specific comes to mind
Re: How strong is Tapion?
Yeah, Tapion's strength is almost entirely a mystery. His short bios in Daizenshuu #7's character dictionary and #6's guide for Movie 13 don't really say anything in that regard, and the most we get in the movie itself is Goku making a "that's an awesome ki" comment when Tapion is first released from the music box. But when you examine the scene and think about it, that could easily have been Hirudegarn's power he was sensing instead.

Re: How strong is Tapion?
Aren't there a couple of scenes where Trunks has to jump in and block something from hitting Tapion/ carry him away, etc? If I recall correctly, that could suggest he's not even as outright 'strong' as Trunks is, so nothing that special compared to people like Goku, Vegeta, et al.

Tapion is a bard.
He's as strong as the rhythm allows him to be.

Re: How strong is Tapion?
He is probably around ultra super Saiyan Trunks- full power Perfect cell. Nothing special at the time of the movie. Since the villain there was above Ultimate gohan level.
Re: How strong is Tapion?
I guess he is not really stronger than Radditz? Tapion is not a warrior. The Konatsians seemed more to be the magical fighters with the whole calming flute and sealing spell stuff.

Xenoverse 2 just had him fight Jiren of all people, LOL.
Looks like Tapion... is GoD tier

Since Tapion is modeled after Supreme Kai, and came out during the Buu arc, I imagine he may be of similar strength to Shin.

We had Mr Satan fucking up tired cell games Goku, videl fighting buuhan, all kinds of shit.
It's not a plot hole, it's a plot point. Fu chooses people who have the motivation to get involved.
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

Re: How strong is Tapion?
Yes something many will have considered at some point. I cannot recall a single indication as to how strong or skilled this guy may be...

He's probably and roughly a little bit lower than when Goku first turned into a SS. imo

Re: How strong is Tapion?
People jump in and protect others from getting attacked all the time, its regardless of strength. Since Tapion was stated to be relative to the guy that beat Hirudegarn the first time, I guess Mystic Gohan level?Cypher wrote:Aren't there a couple of scenes where Trunks has to jump in and block something from hitting Tapion/ carry him away, etc?

I don't remember any scene like that, and I've watched that movie several times before.Cypher wrote:Aren't there a couple of scenes where Trunks has to jump in and block something from hitting Tapion/ carry him away, etc?

Maybe, but I can't help but think that's a downplayprecita wrote:Since Tapion is modeled after Supreme Kai, and came out during the Buu arc, I imagine he may be of similar strength to Shin.
