The kids by themselves didn't get much stronger, it is Gotenks who got much stronger because of how multiplication works (Piccolo said that the small gains for the kids would become big gains for Gotenks I think), who did get stronger, but not as much as he & Piccolo originally thought.RandomGuy96 wrote:I'm beginning to think that Goten and Trunks didn't get much more powerful at all in the ROSAT.

Gotenks getting stronger means the kids got stronger, as his power is based on theirs. What I'm saying is that I doubt either they or Gotenks gained much at all.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Gohan wins.Zombie wrote:SSJ Goten (Post RoSaT) vs SSJ Gohan (Buu).

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.
Ehhhh, it's really hard to tell, because te only people who have really faught Her have been at her level.Doctor. wrote:Kaguya vs 23rd BT Son Goku
Pretty similar stats overall.
Not saying that all 3 of them didn't get stronger. What I'm saying is that even if Gotenks got much stronger, it doesn't mean that the kids got much stronger as well. The kids, by getting a little stronger, make Gotenks even more stronger. The same applies to their Super Saiyan forms.RandomGuy96 wrote:Gotenks getting stronger means the kids got stronger, as his power is based on theirs.

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.
She couldn't even handle her own gravity, though. Granted we don't even know how much it was.White Oni wrote:Ehhhh, it's really hard to tell, because te only people who have really faught Her have been at her level.Doctor. wrote:Kaguya vs 23rd BT Son Goku

No way of really telling how fast she is or how strong her attacks are. (Except that It seems that she at least has one insta kill.)
If she can increase gravity to something like x10 and catch goku off guard, she might be able to poke him with those weird stick thingies, and watch him turn to ash.
The kids and Gotenks should get proportionally stronger, i.e. if the kids get 10% stronger, so does Gotenks. So I don't see why this is relevant.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Not saying that all 3 of them didn't get stronger.

Well don't they both have guns? Also I forget if E Yamcha has any skill at all. If not it could come down to battleground, proximity, and who's the better shot to decide the winner.Kid Buu wrote:Farmer Without Shotgun Vs DB: Evolution Yamcha
Videl. Her power is horribly up-scaled. If we were to try and map her to a power level, she'd probably be well into the hundreds or at least comparable to the Saiyan arc era Z Senshi - even without any real ability to create Ki attacks. Not to mention that she has pretty much mastered Bukujutsu following her training with Gohan, whereas Yamcha isn't remotely close to being able to accomplish that feat at the start of Dragonball.Doctor. wrote:Videl post-training vs Yamcha (Start of DB)

Yamcha at the beginning of the series could punch Goku through several stone pillars, survive the same, and actually hurt Goku with his hits while axes would break over his head, and pistol bullets would just result in minor wounds. He could also survive several hits from Goku himself, even though Goku was strong enough to crush a boulder bigger than he was and kill a BEAR with one punch. Videl has nothing suggesting she's anywhere near that level; she has nothing suggesting that she's superhuman at all (though she's obviously stronger than someone of her size should be). Yamcha would just have to punch her once to break her.Dragon Ball doesn't have many female characters let alone powerful ones, so lets at least give them credit where it's due. Videl would kick early-Yamcha's ass into next week.
