Goten and Trunks are a bit of an abnormal case, but Gohan actually has his power for a reason. Part of it is just natural demi-Saiyan specialness, but he actually gained power by training, and receiving healing boosts, and all that jazz, just like Goku and Vegeta did.RandomGuy96 wrote:Tell that to Goten, Trunks, and Gohan.
Well if the young Future Trunks we saw is any indication, these kids have the potential to increase in power and "catch up" to their elders very, very quickly. If she keeps training and gains Super Saiyan, I wouldn't be surprised if Pan were to end up just as strong or stronger than Goten and Trunks by the time she's 7 or 8.RandomGuy96 wrote:I don't think Pan is as strong as them. It's when people claim that she's literally thousands of times weaker than them that I disagree. Goten had a base battle power in the tens of millions by age seven.
(As a partial side-note, this is why I don't think it's wise to look at training increases in terms of multiplication. It downplays what are often actually very impressive gains.)
But that's kind of what I'm getting at. She's a few years behind them, and not there yet. Putting her in "only" the tens of thousands in power level already at such a young age and with no prior training is very, very generous as far as I figure.
If we're going to be looking back to old parts of the series to compare and contrast with newer parts, we can't just ignore the future developments. It was revealed to us that the bulk of Kami's power, abilities, and connection to the Dragon Balls were a result of him being a Namekian. Him being "God" is barely anything more than a job title. In the grand scope of things, becoming "stronger than God" is not a big deal.RandomGuy96 wrote:He wasn't just a Dragon-type Namekian, he was GOD. Not a god, just God. "Dragon-type Namekian" and "Saiyan" are useless in this context anyway, because that happened well before Saiyans or Namekians were a thing.
Piccolo Junior, yes. But King Piccolo was just an "evil clone" of Kami, who was a Dragon-type.[Also, Piccolo was a Fighting-type)
