Oi, a few things to cover here too. (I really shouldn't skip coming here for a day or two at a time. ._.)
I can't find a decent pic of Jessica in super high tension mode, but here's the hero:
The Hero is the
only character that gets a hair effect in DQ8 in High Tension mode.
EVERYONE else just gets a purple glow. That's it.
Well that's the interesting thing, isn't it? If you excuse Pan with "1/4 Saiyajin's can't go SSJ" you still can't excuse Bra - but one way that Toriyama could squeeze out of that was to make her into a stereotypical teenage girl.
Except for the fact that Toriyama
didn't make Bra into anything. Toei did. Toriyama didn't tell Toei what to do with the characters at the start of GT, he just gave them some
very basic direction with the plot.
So yeah, you might say you're forming opinions based on what we see in the anime, but so am I. Unless we're watching two different shows here, Spopovitch has some serious power given to him by Babidi. Weaker than Raditz he is not.
So, you're saying that at this point, Videl could take out King Piccolo? Lets look at Dragonball, shall we? During the Red Ribbon arc Goku got his ass kicked by Tao, no? But was Tao as powerful as Raditz? No. There were several instances of Goku or others not even having a chance against their opponent.
To say that Spoppovitch
must be as strong as Raditz to prevent Videl from even having a chance against him is completely absurd. At the
most Videl is as phsycially powerful as Roshi when she fights Spoppovitch. Which means if he's as powerful as Tao then you get the exact same battle as we saw in the series.
You seem to be experiencing the same 'power wash-out effect' that I see a lot of people suffer from. You
don't need a massive difference in power to completely outclass someone. Less than a hundred points seperated Goku and Tao when they first fought each other.
Spopovitch is insanely powerful by human standards. That's all we know, and that's all that I've been saying basically. You are free to disagree, but my opinion stands.
And since when was a power level of maybe 200
not insanely powerful compared to a race with an average power of 5?
Still, in my own opinion, he would likely defeat Krillin in battle, if not due to having a higher power than him, then at least because of his infinite stamina. I don't know how high Krillin's power level is in the Buu saga, but it's probably not even close to being on par with Freeza, for example.
Well, we know the following. Krillin is stronger than Yamcha. Yamcha was mistaken for Goku by Dr. Gero based on his power at the start of the Android saga. Even with Krillin's 7 year break from serious fighting and training he's still likely in the hundred thousands somewhere. Spoppovitch wouldn't last five seconds against any of the other enemies to have appeared during Z save for Yamu.
If Babidi uses magic that is powerful enough to create Majin Buu, who is infinitely more powerful than Freeza, then surely he can at least bring a human's power to the absolutely highest possible limits that the human body can withstand.
Bibidi did that, not Babidi. And also, lets not forget, Buu was a complete and utter
accident.
Let's look at Pui Pui. He grew up on a planet with 10x gravity, meaning he was probably around the lower marking of saiyan strength.
The fact that Babidi took Pui Pui tells me that he was likely the most powerful member of his race. The fact he took
only Pui Pui tells me he was likely to his race as Vegeta and Goku are theirs, waaaay beyond them. Nothing says that Pui Pui couldn't have had a power of a million when Babidi found him.
