He apparently got his dormant power unlocked. He was strong enough to one-shot GT Trunks who is incredibly haxed to Ultimate Gohan tier+.
Whoa whoa whoa. Are you saying that Android 17 with his "dormant power" (Gero is the awesome) is Ultimate Gohan tier or is it Super Saiyan GT Trunks?

I'm saying SS GT Trunks is Ultimate Gohan tier or above. SS Goten-Baby was strong enough to force a trained Gohan (thus stronger than his Ultimate self) to use Super Saiyan to fully over power him, so if the gap between Goten and Trunks stayed consistent between Z and GT, Trunks would naturally be strong enough to do that himself.

Android #17 one-shotted Base Trunks.

Didn't you ask that already? Almost everyone agree Yamcha and Krillin are still weaker than Young Daimao at the 23rd TB.

I do not know; Kami released Goku away with a finger, but was not able to do the same with Yamcha. Piccolo Junior, which is several times stronger than his father, was annoyed with the strength of Krillin.

Neither Shen nor Piccolo were at full power against Krillin or Yamcha (Kami-sama was also weaker in Shen's body). Piccolo's "concern" over Krillin's strength is pretty much the same as Zarbon/Freeza's concern over the Saiyans. They're nowhere close in power but can potentially pose a threat in the future.

Kami didn't use full power against Goku also. What do you think of these numbers?
Piccolo Daimo (young) 200
Krillin (23rd TB) 180
Yamcha (23rd TB) 166

Well, their official power levels are 177 and 180 respectively. The difference in power really doesn't matter since it's tiny, so it'll come down to skill. In that regard I think Tenshinhan has a clear advantage. Unless he gets hit by the Sokidan, which I don't see as likely compared to the odds of Yamcha getting hit by any of Ten's many moves. Yamcha's ki amplification skills also appear to be really weak, which is another advantage for Ten.

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.

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.

Jokes aside, Yamcha's still a pretty good fighter compared to normal people. I doubt someone with his abilities, after training with 2 martial arts master gods, would be weaker than someone from relatively the same stock, who had not.

Tenshinhan gets flattened. Best case scenario this ends up like 50% true form Freeza vs. Base Goku in my opinion. The power gap is that vast.

Yamcha by the beginning of Z is closing in on, if not on par, with post-Sacred Water Goku.

This should be a good fight since Tenshinhan's advantage is a mere 3 points.

Tenshinhan is far more skilled though. That should secure him the victory in the end.

His dormant powers were supposed to be released after merging with Hellfighter #17. There was no stated increase in #17's power before the merging (from what I recall).
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.

It has to be the case given his feats against Trunks. (That or he was just haxxed).

Or they just didn't think about exactly how strong they wanted Trunks to be, but from the chain of feats we can extrapolate that #17 must have somehow trained or something up to that level (in the same way that Goten, Trunks, etc. can apparently just do that without achieving any new forms or anything), whether the writers actually had that in mind or not.

I personally put Yamcha at 190. Krillin just under 200, maybe 198.
Also, 22nd TB Tien was confirmed to be at 180, same for Jackie Chun and Goku who have roughly the same PL.

I don't see Yamcha remaining the same power level for the entire 5 years. He could have still trained, we don't know.

Not exactly. He is confirmed at 139 in D7 and his 180 BP from WJ can be when he's using a Kamehameha or his Buff form.
