Saiyan genes have an extraordinarily good compatibility with Earthling blood. Because of this, when the two races are mixed together children with formidable power are born. Particularly, those Halflings born without tails hide an exceptional battle power. There are many things that they naturally master from a young age, such as the ordinarily arduous transformation into a Super Saiyan. In spite of having such an outstanding battle sense, they do not have a fondness for battle like a pure Saiyan. Instead, it seems that the violent temperament of the Saiyan has been relaxed through their Earthling blood.
I feel like "Super Ultra Child Prodigies" is a bit redundant.

I always thought that how Zenkai worked. Shocked to here that it's only a fanon thing.

Well, they seem to be stronger than the pre-RoSaT Super Saiyans, and they can easily transform into a Super Saiyan, so I guess it isn't redundant?

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.

Personally, I'm fine with "really strong kids," but I guess that's not fancy enough for Shueisha.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
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.

Okay, I completely ignored those statements existed. Although I must say they are proposed conditions, not factual.
And about contradictions, first I did not say series, but franchise; secondly, Goten, Trunks and Bardock prove that the power level does not need to be that high.

Oh and here's a piece of fanon, I don't believe the kids are that strong. At all. They're probably about as strong as Gohan was with their age, before the ROSAT training, maybe a little bit more. The only reason they appear super strong is due to the fact they can prematurely go Super Saiyan, thus multiplying their battle power.
Apart from that, they are not impressive in any way.

Goten & Trunks are exceptions, because they are stated to have being born with the ability to transform in early age.
As for Bardock, he was almost 10.000, but after that, he got his ass kicked from Dodoria, and then was caught in the explosion of Planet Vegeta, which sent him back in time. After that, he was found unconscious by a Plantian, and was healed by him. So, he most likely got a near death power up that made him go beyond the Saiyan limits.

They were 7 and 8, Gohan was going Super Saiyan 2 at 10 years old. What makes them so special?

You're asking me to believe that Bardock got a boost of almost 10x his power level? Because that's pretty close to the amount your proposed earlier.

They never trained under a great master like Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta, or any god, they never got their dormant power drawn out, and they never trained in any special place with high gravity. They are stated that they have the form because they are special in the Daizenshuu, as I've posted before:

Goku got a x33 increase, so why not?

Nappa and Vegeta painted their armour and hair on the bug planet to make it harder for them to be identified as Saiyans/Frieza Soldiers. It obviously wore off on the trip to Earth which explains why they look so different before and after in the Anime.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Here's one, everything that has been stated to happen to Toninjinka in the games and guides is sorta true.

The following events are based on the video game The Mystery of Shenlong:
So Mutenroshi destroyed the moon and Toninjinka survived... somehow, he floated around space until bumping into Kurilien's space ship. They went back to his base in an empty moon nearby and become friends over time. During the Red Ribbon Arc, they somehow they stumble upon the radio frequency the Dragon Balls produce and replicate it in order to attract Goku.
Goku, Bulma and Kuririn travel to the base and shenanigans occur, resulting in Toninjinka's defeat.

The following events are based on the video game The Great Demon King's Revival:
Not satisfied and missing home, Toninjinka plans to return to Earth and Kurilien says they need help, so they recruit another bounty hunter, Synthesiser.
They arrive on Earth during the Piccolo Daimao Arc and invade Penguin Village. They are utterly defeated and both Kurilien and Synthesiser retreat, leaving Toninjinka behind.

The following events are based on the video game Attack of the Saiyans:
Defeated and alone, Toninjinka stumbles upon Yamcha's hideout and moves in. After the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, Yamcha decides to return home to check on his crib. He finds Toninjinka, beats the shit out of him and makes him his bitch, resulting in the only true win Yamcha has ever had.

And now this is just from myself:
After Yamcha dies during the Saiyan Arc and after Goku leaves, Toninjinka sneaks into Capsule Corp. and manages to steal a small prototype space vessel that Brief constructed whilst trying out for the main thing. He uses this to return to his friend, Kurilien and becomes a bounty hunter.

Eventually, during their travels around space, they land on Imegga and get stranded there for years to come. They were actually on the planet when Goku and co. were around.

Power levels work pretty much the same as levels in Pokemon including all the EV and IV's stuff so different characters would have different attack, defense and speed. It would also explain how Vegeta was able to tank Goku's Kaioken X4 despite it being around 30000 since he had higher defense stats.

Just because I said I disbelieve that a certain power level is required, it does not mean that immense rage is the only factor.
