Which is more than enough to conclude that he's a lot stronger than 17's "less than ½ power", and he doesn't need to sense it, for the same reason Piccolo's able to tell how strong the cyborgs are after having fought them.

Bulma backs Trunks up, actually.

Herms:
Bulma says that Trunks is stronger than Gohan was back then…just not so amazingly strong enough that it’ll make a difference against 17 and 18 (Viz changes this slightly so that Bulma doubts the Trunks is any stronger than Gohan was).

Dammit Viz(and the danish version), I'm sick of these faulty translations, I can't even back my claims up, if I don't have acess to the original :evil:

Even if you were going to place Trunks on the exact same level as Gohan, 84 million is still too low, man. Way too low, honestly.

In your opinion it is, in mine it isn't, as I can handwave the shit out of that claim :lol:
And EDIT: In my first power level list for Trunks I gave him < 100 mil. meaning him being able to fight back against less than ½ 17 seems more than possible this way, but whatever I still think Cooler could own Trunks, if he had the chance to go full power.

Didn't Piccolo later questions himself if the reason why they beat #19 and #20 is because the cyborgs are weaker than they are suppose to be?

Yeah, but Piccolo never thought he would be that much stronger those androids, perhaps?

Piccolo definitely does leave it up in the air. He says they either improved much more than anticipated, or the Androids were simply not as strong as Trunks had predicted. So, yeah, totally up in the air here.

He does say those things, but either way, Piccolo > Trunks ^.^

Base Goku (at least after his zenkai / recovery power-up) is more powerful than Frieza in movie 5.

Final form Cooler then destroys Goku in what is widely thought of as a Kaioken x 20 attack.

Final form Cooler is well into the billions. I never saw Trunks anywhere near that strong, so I'll go with Cooler on this one, easily.

Instead of a sarcastic response that makes everyone look bad, why not respond with an explanation of how the thread is a couple months old and that necro-posting is frowned upon unless there is something rather significant and new to add to the discussion?

I always assumed Son Goku in that movie was after he met Trunks (who was CLEARLY weaker than him) and trained hard for a while. I also assumed Goku used a Kaio-ken x20 against Coola and put his power during that at least as high as Freeza's full power. So judging by how Goku's Kaio-ken x20 Kamehameha seemed to be about as threatening as plain air and how he managed to create an attack that overpowered SSjin Goku for a bit, I'd say he'd utterly stomp the shit out of Trunks.

I always assumed that Goku in that movie was from an alternate timeline where he killed Freeza on Namek and escaped to Earth, and that this movie is not long after the battle with Freeza. Why? Because Gohan looks the same in both age and appearance as when he was on Namek (he looked older when Trunks came to Earth) and Coola mentions nothing about his father being killed.

Here is the conversation on the rocks between true form Cooler and base Goku after their fight, this is just prior to Cooler transforming into his final form.

Cooler


"Hmph, you do as well as I expected."

"Enough to have defeated my brother."

"However, the real Hell begins now!"

"Once you witness this Hell, I will show you no mercy, no matter how load you scream!"

"Not until I've torn you to bits."

"Hmph, one time more. I am able to transform myself one time more than my brother."

Goku

"what?!"

Cooler

"You should consider this an honor, you will be the first to see my ultimate transformation, and the last!!"

Cooler starts transforming

Goku


"Incredible, his ki is even greater than Frieza's."

Cooler finishes transforming

Cooler

"So, shall we begin?!"




Cooler flat out implies Base Goku is exhibiting powers greater than Freeza, which would at least be in the range of Super Saiyan Goku as seen on planet Namek.

Now here the crazy part part, After that, Cooler transforms, and Goku uses what is widely accepted as a 20x Kaioken/Kamehameha against him, and Cooler flies straight through it, without even having a scratch on him.

Do the math, and you can see Cooler has an absurd power, and is dozens of times more powerful than Frieza.
. I also assumed Goku used a Kaio-ken x20 against Coola and put his power during that at least as high as Freeza's full power.
movie 5 base Goku (post zenkai) > Freeza's full power

Kaioken x 20 Goku >>>> Freeza's full power

essentially, it's like this

SSJ Goku (movie 5) >> final form Cooler >> Kaioken x 20 Goku (movie 5) >>>> Base Goku [post zenkai] (movie 5) >=< SSJ Goku (Namek) > 100% true form Freeza = true form Cooler >> Base Goku [pre zenkai] (movie 5)

Replace Freeza with Trunks and you have the result of this fight.

We don't need ANOTHER active power levels thread, especially not one that was a nearly 3-month necropost.
