Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I wish the anime and manga were more consistent with the strength thing. I also wish that people wouldn't say that Kakarot and Vegeta cannot get any stronger in their base forms.

Huh? People say that?
We literally have base Vegeta getting confirmed to get stronger in his base state in the Moro arc.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Okay, so it's a little early right now for Superhero strength discussion, but the latest trailer and information does give us a little more to chew on.
Gamma 1 and 2 are meant to be the strongest Androids yet. Whether that pans out relative to 17's strength right now is up for debate, since the trailer does give us a few glimpses.
They seem to be able to fight Piccolo relatively well, and base Gohan steps up to them as well.

They're making every attack precise so as to damage their opponent more than the environment. The attacks are just well concentrated. As far as Granolah struggling with the tower ... that's just wack. I guess an excuse is he's just getting used to that power.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Perhaps, 17 and 18 are exempt because they are technically cyborgs, not androids. So, Gamma 1 and 2 would be stronger than 16 at least.PerhapsTheOtherOne wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 10:24 am Okay, so it's a little early right now for Superhero strength discussion, but the latest trailer and information does give us a little more to chew on.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Yes seriously people do say that. On Quora and other places. They talk about 'natural limits' Saiyans have no unbreakable limits.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 1:22 amHuh? People say that?

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Now that I think about it, this could definitely be a possibility, given how official info says Gamma 1 and 2 are the strongest androids of all, as well as Piccolo's superior feats compared to 17 in the Moro Saga, but at the same time it doesn't make much sense with Gohan fighting them with just SSJ.PerhapsTheOtherOne wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 10:24 am Okay, so it's a little early right now for Superhero strength discussion, but the latest trailer and information does give us a little more to chew on.

But as you said, it's still a little early, and we don't know much about how Gohan's SSJ and Ultimate states will work (is he already using Ultimate in base and transforming into SSJ on top of it? Or is SSJ just his first form while Ultimate is his strongest one? I thought Gohan wouldn't need SSJ ever again...).

There's a Ultimate Gohan figure coming out with Piccolo's gi so it most likely going to work exactly like the anime.dragonball0900 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 3:14 amNow that I think about it, this could definitely be a possibility, given how official info says Gamma 1 and 2 are the strongest androids of all, as well as Piccolo's superior feats compared to 17 in the Moro Saga, but at the same time it doesn't make much sense with Gohan fighting them with just SSJ.PerhapsTheOtherOne wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 10:24 am Okay, so it's a little early right now for Superhero strength discussion, but the latest trailer and information does give us a little more to chew on.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Something important to note is that, at least according to DBS's anime and possibly the manga as well, Gohan's Ultimate state can't be stacked with Super Saiyan and is slightly independent of his base form.
He can either turn Super Saiyan, or he uses his full Ultimate power. The former are merely stepping stones to expressing Gohan's potential, while the latter is when he unleashes all of his current hidden power in his base form but supersedes any SS forms.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I doubt the power scaling of Moro will influence the movie since Toriyama wrote this movie before Broly even finished production. So the scaling would realistically be based on the TOP. Which means 17 is superior to Piccolo.dragonball0900 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 3:14 amNow that I think about it, this could definitely be a possibility, given how official info says Gamma 1 and 2 are the strongest androids of all, as well as Piccolo's superior feats compared to 17 in the Moro Saga, but at the same time it doesn't make much sense with Gohan fighting them with just SSJ.PerhapsTheOtherOne wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 10:24 am Okay, so it's a little early right now for Superhero strength discussion, but the latest trailer and information does give us a little more to chew on.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I recall that Gohan appeared as a Super Saiyan in one of Battle of Gods’ trailers, but that was later corrected to Ultimate instead. I don’t know if this is supposed to be intentional in Super Hero’s case, but using glasses usually is an indication that Gohan relaxed.
Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
IIRC, the Broly trailers had some scenes of him in his base form in order to not spoil his SS form for the movie. However, I doubt this is the case.Hugo Boss wrote: ↑Thu Dec 23, 2021 2:01 pm I recall that Gohan appeared as a Super Saiyan in one of Battle of Gods’ trailers, but that was later corrected to Ultimate instead.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
This comes from a quote in the anime before the U6 tournament where Vegeta and Goku comment that three years of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber won't make them any stronger.ZombieVito wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 1:22 amHuh? People say that?

The implication during that time certainly seemed to be they need new forms/power-ups to reach higher levels, but obviously it's not in the manga and doesn't hold true anymore anyhow.

Not really the same thing since it's easier to recolor in 2D than it is to changed a 3D model.Hugo Boss wrote: ↑Thu Dec 23, 2021 2:01 pm I recall that Gohan appeared as a Super Saiyan in one of Battle of Gods’ trailers, but that was later corrected to Ultimate instead.

What do you make of Vegeta still being inferior to SSJ Goku Black immediately after receiving a sensu bean?Cipher wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 10:29 amJumping a little ways back for this, but...ZombieVito wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 5:49 amDidn't Goku spent all his time mastering the Mafuba?

Perfected SSJB Goku = Perfected SSJB Vegeta yet SSJB Vegeta >> SSJB Goku.
I don't think the logic holds since the context behind Vegeta taking a sensu bean and then Goku/Trunks expressing disappointment of Vegeta not getting a zenkai, hence why he was losing, clearly suggests that Vegeta was inferior due to SSJ Goku Black due to power. Therefore, if Vegeta's bursts of Super Saiyan Blue were above SSJR Goku Black, then he had to have gotten much stronger.
Thus, we should find a way to rationalize the story such that SSJB Goku (2nd Encounter) = SSJB Vegeta (2nd Encounter) in order for Perfected SSJB Goku = Perfected SSJB Vegeta to be the case. The most logical explanation is that Goku presumably attempted to master Super Saiyan Blue after their encounter with Goku Black.
I guess this is one of the many errors Toyotaro has made. Unless Goku got stronger while fighting Zamasu that he closed the gap he had with Vegeta.
Also I don't think Vegeta grew that much stronger in the RoSaT since the fact of him using the switch technique tells me that any significant power loss to his stamina would not warranty his victory against Black.
The sole thing Vegeta is implied to have done with his night in the RoSaT is get rid of the stamina drain from repeated activations of Blue so he can pull off the God-Blue switching. This lets him use Blue at its absolute peak power, without it dropping off at all, by peppering in explosive bursts of it at key moments.
Blue was always just that good, but Goku and Vegeta hadn't managed to get full use out of it prior. Vegeta in his rematch with Black is stronger in a practical sense, but hasn't increased his strength traditionally.
Goku's own solution to the problems with Blue, in its perfected variant, actually does come with a net increase in power (getting more out of it than either he or Vegeta had previously)--the first sort of "traditional" power-up of the arc.
By the start of the ToP arc, Vegeta has learned the perfected variant too, and both have ironed out its strain issues, keeping them in step with one another until the climax of the arc.
Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
So, assuming the trailers are passing the impression that Gohan is the main opposition to Gamma 1 and 2, and that they are stronger than 17, how can Gohan fight as well as them only in his normal form?

Strength ranking predictions for Super Hero:
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
- Toriyama will not consider any power boosts given to Gohan by Toei and Toyotaro during the ToP
- Gohan will not be that much stronger than he was in Resurrection F, this will outrage Gohan fans
- Goku and Vegeta "surpassing Broly" in the Moro and Granolah arcs will also be ignored
- Broly's untamed power will still be a threat to everyone excluding Whis (that's why Goku and Vegeta train with him)
- Toriyama will not consider any power boosts given to Piccolo by Toei
- Gamma 1 and 2 will be Cell+ level threats
