I guess the Namek/ Frieza archad to have massive step ups in power. The enemies quickly went from power levels ranging in the early thousands to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and some even the millions, and the power ups in the Z Fighters needed to reflect that. Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta and Goku all needed serious power ups just to keep up with their opposition or they'd have been blown away. A lot of big power ups took place in that arc as it really saw the story go up a level, no longer confined just to planet Earth, but the entire Universe.

In terms of an individual power up, Old Kai's unlock ability saw an expeditious improvement on Gohan. Not only did it improve him power wise, it also improved him confidence/ personality wise, going from my least favourite part of the DBZ series to a character I actually like.
Z-Fighters fan.

Goku, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, Yajirobe, Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, Future Trunks, Android 18, Goten, Trunks and Majin Buu.

Chapter 261, at the very end of their introduction on Kaio's world.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

Ah, it was the next chapter. When I checked over it I stopped at the end of the last chapter which was Goku being told Kaio that they made it there faster than him.
