Is there an indication to how strong Mr Popo is?

When Piccolo split, it was in his youth. He DID split into two halves of equal battle power. Damaio ran rampant on the earth and his power grew, until Mutaito gave his life sealing Damaio away. Sealed away for well over one hundred years, he stayed at whatever his power was when he was caught in there. Kami, on the other hand grew in power as a guardian over a century or more. So even Daimao regaining his youth did not raise his battle power to the level of his good half, Kami.

It was Daimao Junior who surpassed Kami, as did Son after the three years before the 23rd Budokai. Popo was strong enough to beat Daimao, but wouldn't because he would kill Kami as well.

What gives you the impression that Piccolo and Kami were once equals Akira? I've watched the entire King Piccolo saga and I can't recall anything that would lend credit to that explination.

I always liked Mr. Popo. I believe he could've kicked some major ass had he been included in some of the early battles. Who knows what kind of hidden powers he had. He should've at least had an appearance in one of the Tournaments in Dragon Ball. He would've done better than Yajirobe, that's for sure.

It would make sense for them to have equal power at the time of the division, because although the evil within Kami was only a small part, the physical aspect would most likely be an equal divide, Ki and all.

If Popo was capable of defeating Daimao Piccolo (which seems likely) then you have to wonder why Kami didn't just send him down to take care of the mess.

"Oh look, ol' pruneface is free again, Popo m'boy, go down there and give him a thorough trashing will you?"

Would've saved Goku (and the whole world) a lot of trouble.

I don't think Popo ever leaves the lookout, and Kami prefers to stay out of human affairs.

That's a pretty selfish thing for a "god" to do.. Kami is the reason that Piccolo exists. If he was so righteous, he'd have Popo kill him so Piccolo would die too.

Well, frankly, I wouldn't throw my life away just so we wouldn't have to deal with someone we could trap inside a rice cooker

But he did leave the "lookout" to gather the Dragonballs during the Freeza saga (which we never saw any of, doh...

).

Mr.Popo in the manga (more or less) wrote:Popo finds spaceship. Popo can teach Namekian. Kami will come back? Popo is pleased.

Kami also felt the need (or obligation) to fight in the 23rd budokai, right?
