Yeah but they didn't actually fight after that, only this happened:
Chapter: 453 (DBZ 259), P12.4, P13.1

Context: after Trunks’ ki blast explodes

No.18: “Yo-you’ve got to be kidding…That energy bullet had absolutely incredible speed and destructive power…Co-could it be that those squirts have outrageous power?…This is dangerous! I’ve got to settle this fight soon!”

But she was still pretty certain she could win against those guys. That statement to me just sounds like they're stronger than she expected, but still not strong enough to actually beat her.

Saying Goten or Trunks can't beat No.18 is like saying Teen Gohan couldn't beat 18.

Seriously, why does everyone nerf the kids so much?

A couple more for the road....

1. Guldo VS. Babidi

2. Turles [Pre-Fruit] VS. Recoome

3. Namek Saga Goku [Kaioken X2] VS. [Post Zenkai] Vegeta [Ginyu Saga]

4. [Post Zenkai] Kid Gohan [Frieza battle] VS. Vegeta [Ginyu Saga]
(Not enraged)

5. Piccolo [Namek Pre-Fusion] VS. Lord Slug [Youth Restored]

6. Piccolo [End of Z] VS. Ultra SSJ Future Trunks

And here's some evening match ups before I hit the sack:

Future Android 17 VS present Android 18

Ranfan VS Colonel Silver
[No stripping]

End of Z SSJ Trunks VS Cell Games MSSJ/FPSSJ Enraged Gohan

Porunga (bloodlusted) VS King Piccolo (Youth Restored)
[No attacking/disarranging the Namekian Dragon Balls. Can King Piccolo pull off a kill like he did with Shenron?]

Yakon VS SSJ Future Trunks (Post 1st-day ROSAT)
[No light eating]

former versus:
1. Since I have both Future Androids half as weak as the present Androids, #18 beats Future #17 with 1 ki blast.

2. Ranfan, unfortunately. Most 21st Budokai contestants can give Silver a run for his money. He was nothing compared to General Blue.

3. No idea. I personally would like to believe Trunks got weaker years later, as did Gohan and Goten. The only characters who are serious with their training are Goku and Vegeta. Cell Games Gohan wins.

4. We have no idea how strong Porunga is. I'll just say Porunga tanks his ki blasts, and eats King Piccolo.

5. I assume you mean SSJ Future Trunks from before his Hyperbolic Time Chamber training? Yakon stomps him. If 800 Kiri = 800,000,000, definitely stronger than someone who is way below 300,000,000.

6. These fusions won't do a whole lot to their power, at least not at the kind of level we saw Vegetto. A better match up might be Ultimate Gohan VS. Base Vegetto!

7. If that's a 4 way fight between 21st WMAT Roshi and them at the same time, might be a bit difficult. Especially if Giran throws in 1 or 2 surprise attacks, I can see a ring out happening here.

5. Piccolo [Namek Pre-Fusion] VS. Lord Slug [Youth Restored]

6. Piccolo [End of Z] VS. Ultra SSJ Future Trunks
1. Babidi. His magic and telekinesis is far more powerful than anything Gurd can dish out.

2. Reacoom. Goku actually gave Tullece trouble before eating the fruit and that Goku was based on the one from the Saiyan Saga.

3. Goku wins, easily. Kaio-ken x2 is the highest recommended and he can easily stomp Vegeta even without it.

4. Gohan wins fairly easily, unless Vegeta thinks up some real intricate strategy and lasts longer.

5. Lord Slug.

6. Piccolo wins easily. USSJ Future Trunks is just too slow.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

His scouter read "over 30,000" before Goku used Kaioken. I assume that's what his base was. Probably some big zenkai Toei had planned after the Saiyan Saga for their movies.

So I figured Tullece was around 35,000.

I actually thought back then, that those kids would be at about Namek SSJ Goku's level. :D

I think it's mostly difficult to grasp that these kids are anywhere near Cell Games SSJ levels because we have seen how difficult it is to get to that level, let alone transform. That's why people rank the kids as being weak SSJs.

1. Guldo VS. Babidi

2. Tullece [Pre-Fruit] VS. Recoome

3. Namek Saga Goku [Kaioken X2] VS. [Post Zenkai] Vegeta [Ginyu Saga]

4. [Post Zenkai] Kid Gohan [Freeza battle] VS. Vegeta [Ginyu Saga]
(Not enraged)

5. Piccolo [Namek Pre-Fusion] VS. Lord Slug [Youth Restored]

6. Piccolo [End of Z] VS. Ultra SSJ Future Trunks
1. Babidi mind controls Guldo. If Dabra couldn't resist it, Guldo has no chance.

2. I think pre-fruit Tullece is basically the movie's version of Vegeta when he fought Recoome, judging by the power levels. So, it goes the same way it did there.

3. Uh, Goku? Vegeta was pretty clear about the fact that even base Goku was much stronger than him.

4. Gohan stomps.

5. Old Slug murder stomps. Giant young slug was supposed to be considerably stronger than Freeza.

6. The buff one? Even Buu arc Piccolo can take this. I think that Piccolo is roughly equal to the suppressed Cell that beat up Vegeta and was able to out-speed and outlast SSG3 Trunks.
Future Android 17 VS present Android 18

Ranfan VS Colonel Silver
[No stripping]

End of Z SSJ Trunks VS Cell Games MSSJ/FPSSJ Enraged Gohan

Porunga (bloodlusted) VS King Piccolo (Youth Restored)
[No attacking/disarranging the Namekian Dragon Balls. Can King Piccolo pull off a kill like he did with Shenron?]

Yakon VS SSJ Future Trunks (Post 1st-day ROSAT)
[No light eating]
1. I don't think there's any noticeable difference between 18 and 17, while there is a somewhat noticeably difference between future 17 and present 17. 18 wins after a hard fight.

2. Ranfan could at least hurt Nam with her punches. Silver was an ordinary human, from what we saw. Silver could win if he has his rocket launcher (or just a rifle), but otherwise...

3. Gohan murder-stomps. SS Gohan in the Buu arc is equal to SS Gohan at the Cell Games, and he was much stronger than Goten and Trunks (though not dimensions above them).

4. It depends on how strong his creator is. In general, though, Porunga has more impressive feats given he was able to restore an entire planet, while Piccolo could only destroy a city.

5. Yakon was barely stronger than base Goku. Pre-ROSAT SS Trunks turns him into cold cuts.

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.

Kaioshin godstomps. In the manga, Piccolo says that Kaioshin is way out of his leage.

Because seeing as other fighters achive their power by hard workout the kids abilities look like cheap plot device. Hell, I do not even understand how young Future Trunks can be so dwarfed by his Buu saga counterpart, that is literally the same person.

Yeah, personally, I always thought that Future Trunks was always more powerful than present Trunks and it was further supplemented by a DBM (I know, it's silly because it's a Dojinshi) panel showing End of Z Trunks talking to Future Trunks. Present Trunks was talking about how he fires people and stares at his secretary at Capsule Corp while Future Trunks talks about rebuilding his world.

That would be where most people put their level at fairly. I still find it difficult to believe that they're MSSJ/FPSSJs because they never trained by being SSJs the entire time for days on end. But based on people claims with #18 and Piccolo's statements, I can see why they're ranked as almost even with the Cell Games SSJs.
