Could master roshi ever reach the same level of power as the other humans?
I've always been of the opnion that the humans were only as strong as they were because they were constantly having to compete with the likes of Goku and piccolo.
Therefore under similar circumstances is it possible that perhaps a younger master Roshi could reach a the same or perhaps even greater level of power?
Master Roshi's potential
Re: Master Roshi's potential
Sure, why not?
By the time we meet Muten Roshi, he's already well past his prime and has exhausted the best training methods he had access to in his youth. But if he were as young as Kuririn, Tenshinhan, and Yamcha, and went through the same things they did... hell yeah, he'd be right up there with them.

Re: Master Roshi's potential
There's no reason why he couldn't. He just didn't have the opportunities the later Earthlings had.

Roshi could, but he's too busy reading his porn books all the time.

Re: Master Roshi's potential
Roshi was fully confident taking on Broly (who is canon), this obviously indicates Buff Roshi >>>>>>>> Broly (MAXIMUM) >>>>> Super Saiyan 5 Gogetto >>>> Toei base Goku >>>>>> fiction.
But in all seriousness, I have no idea how Tien, Krillin, and Yamcha were able to get into the thousands in a year while Roshi couldn't in his entire life. Kami's training wasn't really that special.

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Re: Master Roshi's potential
What we do know of it though, was that Kami's training was the first time that it was more than just physically training the body. That was the first time any of them starting training properly in a spiritual sense, which probably explains why their Battle Power jumped so high (well that and plot reasons).
But its probably worth noting that in general Roshi just seemed to have progressed a lot slower than anybody else when he was training in his prime (probably not helped by his Master dying sealing Piccolo, leaving him to essentially teach himself). It did take him 3 years to complete Korin's training and 50 to eventually create the Kamehameha afterall, though at the same time we don't have an idea of just how powerful he woulda been when he was younger either I guess (I doubt he ever really reached King Piccolo's level of power though personally).

Re: Master Roshi's potential
Absolutely. He just never trained like the others. He could even do it now if he wanted to. It would take forever, but that wouldn't be a problem since he is immortal.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

Re: Master Roshi's potential
If Kame-sennin was in his prime & had done training with Kami & Kaio like the other Earthlings did, then sure, why not? He stuck behind in the manga because he was too old.
Kuririn went from 206 to 1.770, Yamcha from 177 to 1480, and Tenshinhan from 250 to 1.830. If that isn't impressive, then what is?RandomGuy96 wrote:Kami's training wasn't really that special.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
