Strength of the humans in Buu Saga?

[DBZAOTA482]

Yeah, Yamcha beating Olibu is absurd no matter how strong the humans got, at least if we're supposed to believe that Olibu actually put up a fight against Paikuhan. Yamcha seems to be the first to give up on training and he was the weakest of the three back in the Androids/Cell saga, so there's no way he managed to miraculously get that strong in 7 years of... not really even training?

It was done intentionally as a joke. Remember Yamcha is the undisputed Filler King.

You know, I'm surprised Yamcha literally was not a pancake after trying 300x gravity in the Anime

What a poser! :XD

Funny thing is that Yamcha actually makes a pancake analogy in the video.

Tien: Around Suppressed Piccolo (Android Saga), stronger than Kid Gohan (Android Saga).

Krillin: Around Base Trunks (Trunks Saga).

Yamcha: Around Base Goku (Freeza saga).

Chiaotzu: Around Gohan (Trunks Saga).

But Ten isn't even a full-blooded Earthling. It was confirmed that Krillin was the strongest full blooded Earthling in the series thanks to the BoG character data.

Strongest Earthling, nothing was said about full-blooded.

[RandomGuy96]

I guess Krillin could wipe the floor with Ultimate Gohan then.

Gohan isn't classified as an Earthling, he's a hybrid. Tenshinhan, however, is.

[RandomGuy96]

He's an Earthling. He lives on Earth, he was born and raised on Earth, and his blood is human, at least half of it.

Krillin is the strongest Earthling, nothing was said about full-blooded.

Gohan's a Saiyan, and classified as such when not identified as a hybrid.

[RandomGuy96]

An Earthling is someone who lives on Earth. Gohan is more human than saiyan; he has the same amount of blood for each, but he was brought up as a human on the human planet.

No one said that he had to be full-blooded. Obviously Krillin's way stronger than Ultimate Gohan.

Not the way the series uses it. And by that (faulty) logic Goku isn't a pure Saiyan, because he was raised on Earth.

[RandomGuy96]

And what way does the series use it? Where does it say that Earthlings are just Tien, the clown midget, Krillin, and Yamcha? Why is Gohan not considered an Earthling for not being full-blooded human while apparently Tien is when he's also not full-blooded human?

Guidebooks. The same guidebooks that state that Tenshinhan is the descendant of the descendants of aliens.

[RandomGuy96]

What guidebooks and what do they say exactly?

[Saiga]

It's Daizenshuu 4. They have a racial groups section, and Tenshinhan is classified as a human-type Earthling, while Gohan is in the Saiyan group. That's the same guidebook that states that Tenshinhan's weird abilities are a leftover from being the descendant of the Three-eyed Clan, who are descendants of aliens.

Is Krillin more powerful than 18?

[Saiga]

Is Krillin more powerful than 18?

Nope, but she's not a human anymore.

[Ketchup_Revenge]

Well, in the Movie Bojack unbound - Tenshinhan was shown to hold his own vs a Non SSJ Trunks - This movie does take place after the Cell saga. It's not Cannon, but it does give us insight that a Human would be around the same power as a base Sayjin.

Toei ALWAYS over exaggerates character abilities, and uses random scenarios strictly for entertainment value, regardless of how logical or practical they are.
There's no way that Tenshinhan would have a chance against even base Trunks in reality (well, manga reality at least).

[hleV]

Not stronger than 50,000, though I'm not sure about Tenshinhan.

[TheMightyOzaru]

Not stronger than 50,000, though I'm not sure about Tenshinhan.

Except Krillin was 75,000 on Namek...

Is Krillin more powerful than 18?

I wouldn't rule it out but I highly highly doubt it.

[RandomGuy96]

Tenshinhan: Around Suppressed Piccolo (Android Saga), stronger than Kid Gohan (Android Saga).
Krillin: Around Base Trunks (Trunks Saga).
Yamcha: Around Base Goku (Freeza saga).
Chiaotzu: Around Gohan (Trunks Saga).

Why did all of them get dozens and sometimes hundreds of times stronger? They didn't really get any major boosts after Namek.

Krillin is particularly odd. On Namek he was around 100,000. You have him at 3,000,000. What made it so that he got 30 times stronger? And Yamcha... what made him a hundred times stronger? Why did his power increase more than everybody else's? And why is he at all comparable to Krillin? The last time their power levels were hinted at or said, Krillin was twice as strong as him, and Yamcha has never pulled a Piccolo and just gotten absurdly stronger than everyone else through training.

[ZombieVito]

They need to be this strong to even show up at the android arc. They were still semi relevant back there.
