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.

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.

DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Kami was talking about how Trunks' current power compares to Vegeta & the Artificial Humans in that statement. If Trunks had gotten significantly stronger than back then, then Kami would have said something like "Even for that ‘Trunks’ boy who came from the future and instantly obliterated Freeza and his father, and has now grown even stronger than he was back then…and even for Vegeta, whose abilities are even greater than Trunks…". Yet, he is treating Trunks as being at the same level as he was 3 years (6 months for Trunks) before.
He's just making note of his feat of defeating Freeza. It's an exaggeration of his power so to say, not just "Trunks; the very powerful boy", but Trunks; they boy who obliterated the emperor of the universe" or whatever. Obviously I'm not good at explaining it, but I think you get the gist of what I'm saying(?). Trunks hasn't really done anything since he came back, so there's no noteworthty feats to mention. This statement doesn't need to literally mean Trunks hasn't changed much. Besides, wasn't Trunks comparable to Android arc Vegeta (who is above Android arc Goku)? If Trunks is close to that Vegeta, it would mean the Z-fighters barely got any stronger at all from 3 years of intense training, considering Trunks was below Yardrat Goku during his debut. Them making very minimal gains also wouldn't make sense since Piccolo didn't lack confidence in the team's abilities to take on the Androids, as mentioned earlier.
They are both at around the same level. And #19 managed to make Vegeta bleed because Vegeta allowed him to, because he wanted to see his power. He couldn't do any real damage to him, and not to mention that #19 had absorbed power from SS Goku at that point.
Gero didn't say anything that their powers were the same. It's not exactly safe to assume Piccolo was expecting someone on 19's level. So I guess that was bad evidence on my part.

Yes Vegeta let 19 hit him, but it still caused him to bleed. If the gap was that big, Vegeta should've not taken any damage. Kinda like when stage 2 Cell let 16 hit him, it didn't do any damage, but it's not like Cell put up any kind of guard.

20 had also absorbed Vegeta's blast and some of Piccolo's energy at this point.
But it is proven that he is now stronger than Trunks.
So you do think he is stronger than Trunks now? :wtf:
With Gero, he was full of confidence, and like "shit, I'm fucking the robot that killed Super Saiyans, I'm awesome!". It's just like when Kuririn saw Goku beating the Ginyu Tokusentai and was like "wow, you must be stronger than Freeza!" even though he knows Freeza's power, and should know that he is weaker than Freeza.
Freeza hadn't fought yet, so Kuririn most likely hadn't got a good reading on his power, like I said before about the "resting/standing" ki. Vegeta (who knows 1st form Freeza's full power) quickly shoots down this sentiment, suggesting that Kuririn just didn't get a good read on it.
Sick Goku isn't a good comparison, because Goku didn't have just a lower battle power, he whole body was shit. It's not like a suppressed or weaker fighter.
It's true his stamina is running low, but he still failed to like 2 or 3 shot 19, and Goku's fighting abilities can't be hindered that much otherwise the Z-fighters would've noticed immediately.

And as mentioned before, this Goku is still fighting at a level above SSJ Trunks' (Mecha arc), otherwise the Z-fighters would've immediately realized that they were the wrong Androids.

As mentioned before it makes absolutely no sense at all as to why Piccolo would be weaker than Freeza and still consider the possibility that he's gotten too strong. From a storytelling standpoint, it really doesn't make sense.

There would be no point at all in that line if Piccolo was actually supposed to be as weak as you're saying.

Character statements form the basis of the story. To doubt Piccolo here is like doubting the author. Without statements or comparable feats, there's no way to judge. If there's evidence that Piccolo > Trunks (or Freeza), and nothing going to the contrary, there's no reason to discard or twist the evidence, or try to discredit it because of other situations. Not just because "his gains are unrealistic"

Piccolo. I think he's above Super Vegeta at this point.

I'd probably give this to Dabra. I see him as being a bit stronger than the powered-up Cell Goku fought. Then again, I'm not sure. Dabra had trouble with a weaker Teen Gohan, who likely wouldn't beat powered-up Cell.

I doubt Gohan from the Boo arc is weaker than Cell Games Goku. He'd have to lose a ton of power for that.

1st RoSaT Vegeta could spend all day punching a Cell Junior in the face and it wouldn't feel a thing, while Piccolo was able to put up some level of defense. Piccolo one shots.
SSJ Goku (Cell Games) vs. Dabra.
I'd have to rewatch the fight with Son Gohan again, but Dabura didn't strike me as a total shmuck who was completely reliant on strength or anything. He definitely has a variety of nasty techniques that would keep Son Goku on his toes. It would be a tough fight. Dabra couldn't survive a Warp Kamehameha, but I doubt Goku would pull out his trump card until he absolutely had to and if the fight had dragged on that long why wouldn't have Dabra just turned him to stone long before that?

So, I'm leaning towards the Demon King.
