Strength of the king of salada

Post by Ssjcell » Sun Jul 22, 2018 7:16 pm

How strong do you estimate the king of salada strength does it compare to ssj caulifa ? You think this would have been addressed besides a vague line from cabba.

He's not that strong at all relative to DBS characters otherwise he would have competed in the ToP. By Z standards he could be considered really strong, he could conceivably be like Perfect Cell level without contradicting anything.

This isn't an answer, but I imagine the King of Sadala as a one-armed man. Cabba would take Vegeta to see him and Vegeta would obviously not mention the arm because he has social awareness. Goku goes too for whatever reason, maybe Caulifla wanted him to come. The first thing Goku says is "Hey, that guy's only got one arm!"
Vegeta is horrified and he smacks Goku in the head for being so disrespectful. He tries to apologize for Goku's rudeness but the King laughs and says it's OK. He adds "To answer your next question: No, I didn't lose it in a fight. I had an illness and it had to be amputated."
Basically, I imagine him as the opposite of King Vegeta. I imagine him as a really chill and down-to-earth (er, down-to-sadala?) person. Later one we see he's an epic fighter despite missing an arm. In fact, he doesn't want a prosthetic replacement because he's used to it and it would upset his balance when fighting.
I don't think King Vegeta was the strongest Saiyan but any means, just the highest-ranking. I would guess the same is true for the King of Sadala. Maybe he has a military background and is stronger than the average U6 Saiyan, but not at the level of prodigies like Caulifla or Kale. He's probably a kind person and works very well with people.

He probably isn't that strong compared to the other saiyans. But also remember even if he was the strongest saiyan. He couldn't drop everything and join. He is a king and has responsiblites. Also he doesn't have ssj. So even if he was stronger he wouldn't have the advantage that the other three have.

Doesn’t matter, but I guess the big reason is that he is past his prime and is 80 years old or older.

That would be really cool. I like that idea a lot. Him being a humble guy and a nice person who happens to have lost a limb to an illness but can fight like a badass anyway. Goku shows up to meet him and is just entirely clueless as to how to handle it and blurts out a rude comment about his missing arm and Vegeta slaps him for it. Of course, similar to King Vegeta, he would be stronger than say an average Universe 6 Saiyan,(Which are much stronger than their U7 counterparts of course) but not nearly as strong as the likes of Cabba, Caulifla and Kale.

It wouldn't matter because if they lost his Kingdom would no longer exist. If he was strong enough he would have competed and represented the Universe but he simply wasn't. Like I said, he could still have significant strength, say being Perfect Cell level in Base, without contradicting anything. He would still be vastly inferior to Cabba,Kale and Caulifla

Where did you get this information? And would that even be past his prime considering he is a saiyan?

Sorry, I meant he could be past his prime. Goku said before U6 arc while in the Time chamber, that saiyans become weaker after 80.
