There's simply nothing concrete. He got better, Nail is impressed, that's it. He doesn't have to be better than the others for Nail to be impressed by him, since we're given absolutely zero context for what Nail is talking about, what he considers amazing and what he's comparing it to. Given that Piccolo was completely clueless of Freeza's power, he's probably unaware of the jumps and so his confidence is meaningless.RandomGuy96 wrote:
Nail wasn't impressed by Vegeta or any of Freeza's henchmen yet considered Piccolo's strength tremendous. And he outright said the Kaio training he did was abnormal to have made him so much stronger. He even said that such a power was unbelievable. Piccolo also states that his own power has VASTLY increased, and thinks he'll be able to take Freeza despite all the big jumps in power from Nappa to Freeza he has witnessed. So any way you cut it his gains in that week were ridiculous.
So...? Does that mean the power levels for Vegeta and co on that page also can't be taken seriously?
That really wouldn't make up for the massive power difference between pre-sword Gohan and Goku.
No, I'm just saying that the V-Jump page is probably taking the anime into account. But Vegeta, Kuririn and Gohan weren't portrayed any differently between manga and anime at that point.
The difference shouldn't be massive to begin with. And given that Goku only swings it around for one panel, it's perfectly believable that he'd be worse at it than someone weaker than him who had become used to it.
