Tien has also been training non-stop yet he's arguably weaker than Krillin and probably even weaker Roshi too, both of whom stopped training after awhile.

As my own tier list reflects, I'm actually of the opinion that Vegeta's SSBE parallels Goku's imperfect UI "Omen/Sign" in strength, at least prior to Goku learning how to properly attack in that state and then transitioning over to the real UI. Not only does the ending theme portray those two together, but Jiren specifically noted how impressive Vegeta's power was in that form and even implied that it was indeed supposed to be stronger than Toppo in his God of Destruction Mode.

Obviously, UIO Goku would easily take SSBE Vegeta in a fight thanks to the former's evasiveness, but the idea that they're more or less equal in raw attack power may not be out of the question.

Didn't they reveal that Roshi had been training in secret for a while? Goku himself states that. If anything, he might've been training way more than Tien, who probably was more busy with his school and everything.

Except that he didn't. He was seen thrashing Toppo around, and even punching straight through his Hakai.

Well I guess in that case we really d have to acknowledge that Vegeta > Goku, bar UI. I expect Goku to quickly catch up though.

That can also be neatly explained by Vegeta gaining strengthened resolve and adrenaline, allowing him to focus his power and land heavy and fast blows. As we all know, in the Tournament of Power, landing solid hits that aren't guarded against or braced for are the most effective means of taking down an opponent.

vegeta and goku are even with ssbe and kk. Theres bo reason to assume anyone is superior right now because fue to lack of knowledge. Hakaishin toppo is clearly shit compared to actual hakaishins (which is still strong to nearly any mortal out there).

One thing that I make of this episode:

- Freeza definitely can sense ki now, as he is confident he can defeat Jiren and states that Jiren´strenght is way lower than he showed earlier on.
-From the very beginning of this tournament, freeza is only afraid of Jiren, even after watching blue vegeta vs base toppo, he watched dyspo vs hit/goku too as he tells dyspo some goku´s lines about his attacks being too straigthforward.
-I take it that he is sure about defeating Hit, Base Toppo or Dyspo.
- Jiren, god toppo, kefla and anilaza seem to be the only ones able to defeat golden freeza.
- Jiren states that goku and hit are the ones he is needed for, but u11 clearly couldn´t gauge golden freeza´strenght, as they probably only watched u6vsu7 tournament via godtube.
-So to me Golden freeza > Hit/Dyspo/Base Toppo.

Final Form Freeza hasn´t changed for me, he stands somewhere around ssj3 and ssg.

I agree with this. he also had the same eyes UI Omen Goku had.

Since Goku lost UI for the time being, Vegeta is the strongest mortal in U7.

I do wonder if Vegeta's "power up" against Toppo was permanent or not.

For now Vegeta is the strongest if he can access his power at will. If Goku manages to push Kaioken further, he will overtake Vegeta again. Kami help him if he manages to access UI again. Vegeta would get 1 shot easily.

I have the feeling that Vegeta's Royal Blue form STARTED as equal to SSBKK Goku BUT during the course of his battle with Toppo he got stronger ending up as roughly equal to UI Omen Goku (I like to think that UI Omen is better than Royal Blue in terms of speed but Royal Blue is better in terms of raw power).

I really doubt that SSBKK Goku would have been able to defeat God of Destruction Toppo.

Many of U7's fighters got power ups DURING the tournament too. For example, I don't think that the A18 that struggled against the fodder that Krilin help her take out was on the same level as the A18 that took out Super Ribrianne. Ultimate Gohan, Frieza and A17 also seemed to get new power boosts in the second half of the tournament.

Vegeta and Goku weren't the only ones to gain more power even though they were the only ones to get new visual transformation.

Much like a few other people, I'm pretty sure that Vegeta's power against Toppo was just a temporary power up much like his previous rage/pride boosts. His normal SSJBE power is equal to SSJBKKx20.

Nobody knows how does UI work actually, but it seems to get the best out of the user's body, and in the TOP it was always used by a really exhausted Goku, as close as possible to a KO, so if Goku would trigger it again, being well rested and in top form 100%, he would be waaay stronger that what he showed in the TOP, right?

I doubt this. There seems to be a thing in DB, that tapping into new form despite being exhausted gives brings back energy. Such as when Goku on Namek, should be a lot weaker than normal, but most accept that his SSJ wasn't weaker because he was just tired.

It was not temporary. If it was, then Vegeta would still be weaker than Toppo after EP 126, but in EP 127, Jiren confirms that Vegeta is stronger when he says he understood why he was able to defeat Toppo

So how many God's of Destruction could Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku beat at the same time now? All of them? All of them minus Beerus? A few? One?

Seeing as Beerus took out a few and was holding his own against several of them at once with his imperfect Ultra Instinct....you'd think Goku could probably take them all on and do quite well.

Especially considering that Full Power Jiren would be stronger than a God of Destruction by a fair amount and he was child's play compared to Goku at that point.

When i hear people say “beerus took out a couple gods of destructions out”, i go like “which reality are you from?”. I always wonder if people really read the last chapter of the hakaishin royale. He was impressive no doubt, but so were the ither gods eith their unique abilities. I also wonder why the hell do people still have beerus on a Freaking pedestal.

When the universal survival arc started, they out right introduced dozens of characters stronger than beerus, 10 who are on his level, and jiren, who can kick his hakaishins ass.

As soon as ssb vegito was introduced, i knew the bar for goku was going to be moved up from beerus, to some higher power. The next goal for goku is the angels, and heck, even jiren, who is stronger than a god of destruction, has set his goals to someone beyond a hakaishin as well (Goku).
