No-one bashed anyone. The OP posted a legitimate question based on power levels and things said/shown in the show and manga. Not sure why you're so upset about it but the fact is both imply that everyone possibly minus Piccolo wasn't training very much.TobyS wrote:Jesus Christ I'm sick of this Yamcha (and humans/non saiyans in general) bashing.
At that era all of them were committed martial artists.
People keep trying to extend and push back any period where any non saiyan was not training.
Eventually we are going to see posts saying “Did Krillin stop training while training with roshi” “did Yamcha do any training while he was training on kaiosamas planet”
“did Tenshinhan lie about training for the androids while everyone including the humans demonstratably trained for the androids”
“did Piccolo never actually train ever even though Toriyama stated he trains all the time in his free time like Goku and Vegeta.”
All we know from canon is that Kuririn stopped training at some point after Cell (he might not have stopped till the last year of that 7 who knows) and started again before the tournament. He still trains as of Yo Son Goku! He stops again at some point by Super but then starts again during Super.
Yamcha didn't enter the tournament and one dumb guidebook (the kind that say Popo = over 1000) Goten=Gohan and therefore kid Trunks > Gohan) said he retired from martial arts (which doesn't preclude training IMO, could just competing.) Regardless he still trains/starts again as of Yo Son Goku! Yamcha not being in the tournament is just Toriyama deciding he'd rather draw a retired borderline rapist being on the team instead of someone that makes sense given the stakes.
Pre z power levels are total bullshit so the percieved lack of “improvement” in numerical terms means nothing.
Goku had a wife and small son he was obviously spending time with at that point. His "training" probably consisted of chopping wood and securing food
