I don't care what the dub or fansub says, and you've already shown limited knowledge of the original lines. I'd like this to be validated before using it as proof for anything.

Goku doesn't say that, the old Kaioshin does. Who is a god.

You yourself suggested piccolo and kaio had God ki... Everyone here is capable of flaw, I'm not stating that my memory/reading is incapable of flaw, just that, from my understanding, what you're saying makes no sense.

It's already been shown that they don't... How are you going to deal with this?

Is Kaioshin a special case? Why isn't Kaio's ki the same as beerus? How was piccolo able to measure kaioshin's ki?

Exactly.

Either you're right about kaioshin being unreadable, and I'm right about piccolo having no idea how strong he was.

Or I'm right about kaioshin's energy being readable and piccolo's statement is still up in the air.

Either way I'm fine with the outcome, since all this was really about, was establishing that kaioshin isn't "dimensions above" piccolo in power.

I have no idea what you are saying in your second sentence.
Piccolo has a viable reason for possibly possessing some manner of godly ki, and, to my knowledge, nothing would prevent that from being true. He is literally part god.
I'd go with the use of "dimensions above" being used in terms of power by the same author meaning the exact same thing when used the 7th time. It's not that hard to figure out.

Really? A viable reason huh? How many times have they read kami's ki in DB alone? How many times has kamikillo had his ki read? Come on.

It's not that hard to figure out, yet what you're suggesting makes that very thing an impossibility...

If kaioshin's ki is unreadable, as you suggest, then piccolo's statement is inert at best, nonsensical at worst.

Again, Piccolo isn't a god, he possibly has some godly ki.

I honestly don't know if Kami has had his ki sensed. Can you provide examples?

I think this is starting to get a little out of hand, not to mention a bit too off-topic. If anyone wants to carry on with an in-depth but respectful discussion about the "is Kaioshin REALLY stronger than Piccolo" topic, then a new thread would be a good idea. I know I'd have a thought or two to pitch in, at least.

I'm having a difficult time finding something on kami, as most of the times he's referenced to piccolo being alive, it's physically shown that he's still kicking, and not that he's sensed.

But kamikillo is clearly measured:
Also, When Piccolo's ki changed, Trunks doesn't know who he is anymore, yet Krillin was able to tell he right away that it as a fusion of both kame and piccolo, suggesting he wasn't blind to how Kami's ki felt:

I never claimed that Kamiccolo was a god. I said that he could quite possibly possess some godly abilities from Piccolo fusing with one.

Krillin already knew that Piccolo was going to fuse with Kami. He said as much when Piccolo took off after they all lost against 17 and 18.
Now, like Kaboom suggested, if you want to continue this, make a new thread for it. We're way off topic.

With Goku & co. being able to sense Kaio's or Dende's location, it seems that what Kaio means is that Goku can't sense his power.
If he was able to be sensed but not measured, then that scene made absolutely no sense.
How so? Weak ki are difficult to track, and Beerus' & Whis' immeasurable for Goku ki would probably work like an extremely weak ki, which is why Goku couldn't sense them at all.
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.

Out of curiosity who wins between the SS God Son Goku VS any SS4 battle? I reckoned it was SSG Goku because:
1. Its the newest Super Saiyan form
2. Its a special movie transformation
3. The whole created, its a god thing/ god ki thing.

The form's whole god ki seems like something beyond a SS/Great Ape hybrid form in my opinion.

SS4 was just a standard level up whereas SSG is like becoming a new order of being, so SSG hands down is superior (unless the ss4 can somehow survive for the duration).

I HIGHLY doubt SSJG has a set multiplier. Personally I just see it as the result of the Saiyan who receive's the form's energy + energy from Saiyans involved in the ritual. Meaning, SSJG's power can be anywhere.

The movie contradicts that, because Son Kun absorbs everyone's energy and becomes super strong. Piccolo, Beerus, and Whis shoot down the power up. SSG is more than "power on the surface" its a state of being. Goku is still a god after the transformation goes away.
