If all Super Saiyans are supposed to rival or be stronger than Freeza than what does that say about Future Gohan who was casually sparring with an SSJ future Trunks in the beginning of the "Trunks side story"?

Trunks is a kid that's never trained a day in his life. He's clearly not very strong.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

Goten & Trunks are stated to have been born with the ability to turn Super Saiyan without training. If we go by the anime version of the Trunks Special, Trunks has only recently started his training, which would make him extremely weak compared to Gohan, even as a Super Saiyan.
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.

What's so hard about Base Saiyans > Freeza? Even a power level of 100,000,000 would mean Goku is weaker than Freeza, so this is not a bad thing, people. WHERE in the manga did it say the base Saiyans are weaker than Freeza? Kakashi, please tell me.

I've seen a few things to point to the Base Saiyans, but I see far more for Freeza.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Yea. I see nothing wrong with Freeza being stronger than the base Saiyans. After all Freeza is brought up many times have a power comparison. Even by Birus. Which is saying a lot.

Edit: Damn red is ugly color. Also I thought Beers, Bills, and Birsu was ALL accepted terms.

I dont remember that being stated anywhere, I thought that was more or less just a common fan assumption. So are you saying that new born Trunks and Goten with power levels of 5 could still turn Super Saiyan? I was always under the impression that a certain level of power had to be reached in order to become a super saiyan.

But yeah the anime version of the Trunks Special is almost completely different from the manga version and the Original Poster says the Manga implies base saiyans over Freeza so thats why I posted the picture becuase some of you claimed the manga implies nothing which apparently is obviously wrong.

Mind you, I don't have a problem with base Saiyans not being as strong as 100% Freeza but once upon a time I was firm believer in the opposite. So personally it doesn't matter to me whether they are or not.

According Kaio, Bills is well informed on what? In Goku can powering up and become Super Saiyan or that he doesn't think Goku could beat Freeza as he is now? According to the order of the statements, I think Kaio agree with " Goku can powering up and become Super Saiya-jin " and Goku doesn't argue because that's true ( become SSJ ).

If you're going to insist on using the fucking retarded greater/less than signs, can you at least check and see if you're using the right one.

Canon to the group here, or not, Son Goku and Friends states Abo and Cabo are equal in strength to Freeza and their fusion is far stronger than Freeza. If those guys can work for decades and become that strong, than Goku is equal to Freeza in base by BOG.

No, those two were stated to be stronger than Freeza, but Tarble was obviously referring to first form Freeza. It's even the form he pictures when making that statement.

And it's not canon. Nothing is.

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.

The "That is correct. You are well informed" statement from Kaio applies to everything Beerus said. If Beerus was only right about Goku's ability to power up by going SS, and not his inferiority to Freeza, then Kaio would never have said "You are well informed".

Anyway, base Goku being weaker than Freeza is completely valid. I believe most people here that are well familiar with the manga believed that to be the case even before BOG.

The Manga says Base Saiyans > Freeza

It doesn't say that. You say that.

How do you think i knew that Freeza is way up in the fucking sky compered to Base Saiyans before Battle of Gods was even relised ?

I readed manga and didn't find contradictions. Also to me it never made sense that Base Goku can beat his SSJ self or Universe tyrant that no amount of training can surpass, which brought me to this decision at first...
Kaioshin who can one shot Frieza is arguably weaker than the Base Saiyans in the Boo Arc

Are you talking about Trunks from "Trunks the Story"? That's the 14 year old SS Trunks that base Gohan can handle with one hand, and it is stated that Trunks is born with the ability to turn Super Saiyan without doing training.

What other flaws?

It is stated in Daizenshuu 4 & 7.
Daizenshuu 4 wrote:The tailless second generation are super ultra child prodigies.
Saiyan genes have an extraordinarily good compatibility with Earthling blood. Because of this, when the two races are mixed together children with formidable power are born. Particularly, those Halflings born without tails hide an exceptional battle power. There are many things that they naturally master from a young age, such as the ordinarily arduous transformation into a Super Saiyan. In spite of having such an outstanding battle sense, they do not have a fondness for battle like a pure Saiyan. Instead, it seems that the violent temperament of the Saiyan has been relaxed through their Earthling blood.
Daizenshuu 7 wrote:Trunks
Characteristics
The Trunks from the tragic future is serious and dutiful. Meanwhile, the one in the present is extremely different, being obstinate and full of bravado. He has surprising power for a child, including being able to transform into a Super Saiyan without even training, and managing to hit his father Vegeta once.

Son Goten
Characteristics
A boy filled with energy, just like his father. He loves Gohan, calling him "big bro, big bro", and the two often play together. He prefers play to study. Even without training, he is able to transform into a Super Saiyan.

Piccolo is not necessarily stronger than Trunks. Piccolo overestimated himself because he was beating a guy that was supposed to have been much stronger than SS Vegeta, SS Gohan, and SS Trunks from the future. Kuririn compared him with the Super Saiyans, but he is not necessarily as strong as them, he could be just close to them. It could be interpreted as Piccolo > Trunks, but not necessarily, and it makes more sense to me that Piccolo never surpassed any Super Saiyan of Freeza before merging with Kami.

So, any other flaws in my list?

There's the fact that when the Androids OHKO SS Trunks, Piccolo and Tenshinhan, Piccolo says that even SS Trunks got OHKO'd, suggesting that SS Trunks was the strongest of the three.
Piccolo: “Don’t worry about it. Even Trunks as a Super Saiyan was done in with basically one blow. It wouldn’t have made any difference if you had come.”
