Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
I don't think he is. His Ryuken is what killed Hirudegarn. The only reason Goku tanked a punch or 2 is because Toei logic. He isn't any stronger than Gohan or Gotenks.RandomGuy96 wrote:No, you really can't.

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
The whole movie is Toei logic.
Goku tanked several punches from final form Hirudegarn. At one point he got hit right in the face and just smiled. Gohan was one-shotted by being grabbed and thrown, while Gotenks was one-shotted by a simple punch. In fact, Hirudegarn punched him so hard that not only was he beaten. but he was somehow knocked out of the fusion AND the Super Saiyan form. There is no freaking way those guys are stronger than Goku in this movie, and it's just wishful thinking to say otherwise. This movie follows the anime logic, where Goku is on par with Gohan and Gotenks (at least until the Kid Buu fight randomly declared him way stronger all along; I guess he just let Buutenks beat him up and suppressed himself when fusing with Vegeta and didn't actually need Vegetto).
Though you can go with the theory that Trunks chopping off the monster's tail weakened him significantly. But then you'd have another issue: even an injured Gohan barley able to stand up would still be way stronger than Goku

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
I'm making some ground numbers to help make power levels for the Arrival Trunks and onward. So far I'm having trouble with Piccolo and Vegeta's starting point, the humans (except Krillin), and Gohan.
Piccolo and Vegeta I have trouble deciding upon there levels and who is even stronger. People have made a good case for both.
The humans had to have gotten some gains on Kaio's planet during there time there. I'm thinking around the 40,000 point (except Chaozu).
Gohan was 250,000 at the start of the Freeza fight. And he seemed to get stronger throughout it. So i'm thinking of a basis for him. I don't think he trained after Namek.

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
All of his Buuhan comparable feats were done in his fat form. I don't think that it's related to power. He's just a reality warper with unique abilities. Too bad he didn't use them against Gogeta.

But feats don't really matter.Look at Family Kamehameha not destroying the sun, yet made from people, who are probably greater than Cell combined.

Re: The Official Unofficial Power Levels Thread
Well Janenba's full power was just masked by his larger form. His Ki is still what caused this. He's clearly up there since Toei stated he is superior to Hirudegarn.RandomGuy96 wrote:All of his Buuhan comparable feats were done in his fat form. I don't think that it's related to power.

And...? Many attacks like Vegeta's Big Bang Attack should blow up the Earth 100 times over yet it doesn't =/. These characters simply condense their Ki so it doesn't cause widespread destruction.PerfectFreeza wrote:But feats don't really matter.Look at Family Kamehameha not destroying the sun, yet made from people, who are probably greater than Cell combined.
