1. Goku outright states that Hit's Strength powered up AS "WELL." Vegeta confirms Hit powered up "in the middle of battle" as well. Everything you said is headcannon.PerhapsTheOtherOne wrote:With the Hit example, I just checked once again. Hit powered up his Time-Skip to 0.2 seconds, an improvement on his abilities rather than simply screaming his strength up. Goku merely said that, after doing this, Hit landed a good blow that nearly took him out. Nothing ever points to his actual power going up; no statements, nothing. In fact, all evidence points to his powered up abilities allowing him to hang on in the fight; Goku only manages to keep up by powering himself up overall with the Kaio-ken, much like Jiren has to in his recent fights against Goku and Vegeta despite easily taking them on with greater suppression earlier.
Also, again, no statements or indications regarding Dyspo's strength increasing, EXACTLY LIKE WITH HIT. Only his other abilities, his SPEED, is ever noted. Only his speed is ever taken into account. Only his speed is what's specifically countered in Gohan's strategy. When Dyspo improves his abilities like Hit, he does better despite no noted increases in strength. We have precedence for this, AND NOT for your argument. We have explicit statements from the characters themselves. And this explicit evidence doesn't support your argument. That's not to say that your interpretation isn't possible, just the less likely of the whole debate.
Tell me, from a writing standpoint....... what makes more sense? That the characters commented on Hit and Dyspo improving their abilities which allowed them to pressure our heroes? Or that they increased their strength and that NOBODY comments on this fact and they only focus on their improved abilities and act like it's what allows them to pressure our heroes even though it's really not and just that they increased their strength?
If we go by your interpretation, the impact of improved abilities loses all meaning because it boils down to power. What's the point of playing up the importance of varied abilities if it all just comes down to power? There is none, and the series might as well never bother trying to vary up the stale combat formula of "bigger number = automatic win".
2. Dyspo is SHOWN shooting ki blasts and fighting with raw strength [at a higher level than he was in base] without "Hyper-speed mode" and yet you say his strength didn't power up overall? Even tho Dyspo had to hold out for time to use his speed again by blocking and punching? You got more headcannon.
Here is more canon for you...
Chapter: 249 (DBZ 55), 7.4
Context: after Vegeta dodges Kui's attack
Kui: Wh…when did you…?!”
Vegeta: “When my battle power rises, it means that my speed raises too.”
