Grand Elder Guru Being Able To Unlock Someone’s Latent Power Twice.

[Steven Bloodriver]

In the Namek Saga of the Dragon Ball Z Manga, how much stronger would Son Gohan, Krillin, and Dende be if Grand Elder Guru would have been able to unlock their respective hidden powers more than just once, with the second time the three had been given more access to their hidden potentials, it was twice the amount of the very first boost they had received?

Dende is a nonfactor since he wasn't even a fighter to begin with. For Krillin & Gohan though, if the boost was of the same proportional increase(taking them from 1,500 to 10,000 a piece) then they'd jump to around 66,000-67,000 in BP. If that boost was doubled(132,000-134,000) then we could have seen Krillin & Gohan strong enough to battle the entire Ginyu Force, and actually win if Ginyu's body-swap technique were to fail.

Twice the amount following the initial boost? Well Gohan and Krillin would have made short of the Ginyu Force minus Ginyu as theherodjl explained. Ginyu himself would have to get involved far sooner than expected. Instead of Recoome, it would have to be Ginyu that cripples Gohan and Vegeta to the point of them gaining a zenkai once Goku arrives onto the scene to distribute sensu. By that time, Ginyu should be sweating bullets as he not only will be registering the newly re-energised Saiyan Prince and hybrid with power levels that likely exceed his own, but now this newcomer who doesn't seem phased by the powers being emitted is challenging him -- even Krillin's power should steadily be rising thanks to the Grand Elder's residual ongoing flow of potential strength being unleashed over time.

Probably by the end of it all, Gohan makes it to the Freeza battle with a power level almost reaching Freeza's in his first form (normal state of mind). Krillin is still the weaker of the two but he'll have likely surpassed Ginyu and would be coming up on Goku's little exhibition PL of 180,000 with the Kaioken.
