Considering that this is Dragon Ball, that's not saying a lot.Namek freeza is probably one of the smartest villains in the series.
I was referring to Cyborg Freeza here, not Res. F Freeza.See above.
Goku could've been a thousand times stronger than namek, and still fall to freeza, and that's not even including his golden form, which was way, way more powerful
You're assuming that Freeza was completely calm and thinking rationally at the time. Besides, after the blast, Freeza and King Cold dismiss Trunks as being weak and saying that he was a warm up before the "real" Super Saiyan arrives. So they don't think Trunks is on the same level as Goku.Trunks flat-out told him that he's not soft like goku and he's also a super saiyan like goku.
Freeza thought that super saiyan was done with a casual blast. So, Mecha freeza was wrong. If he could think that a casual blast was enough to deal with super saiyan, then why couldn't he think that he became stronger?
Mecha freeza thinks that he's so powerful that he destroyed super saiyan with a casual blast, that's what he thought of him becoming powerful. He thought that AT HIS CURRENT LEVEL, a casual blast from him was superior to super saiyan. So by freeza's statements, suppressed mecha freeza > SS goku > 100% freeza (namek)??
I don't recal the word "exactly" cropping up in your original quote of the scene.But if quantity is different, he would've not said it is "exactly the same ki". So, trunks is either equal to, or very, very close to namek goku. The gap (if any) isn't noticeable. Exactly same means that the quantity, the feeling, the type, the lack of evilness, all are same. Neither does gohan say that trunks was more powerful than goku on namek was.
Another thing is, gohan says that goku (pre death ~= Yadrat goku) was on an entirely different level above him. Trunks was "about" as strong as gohan.
Also, Future Goku dies sometime between his return to Earth and the Android's emergence. That's potentially thee years to get stronger. Also, Trunks was described as being stronger than Gohan in the Trunks special chapter.
