There is really no evidence Goku's base got over 50x stronger though. I think he got more like 10x stronger. Goku at most only could of gotten a couple times stronger in the 7 year time gap, and I highly doubt Goku got like 25x stronger in the android arc.mcdjbeatz wrote:I don't believe that statement applies to Dragon Ball as the main characters' gains actually increase quite significantly as the series progresses, just compare Dragon Ball's earlier arcs to the Saiyan Arc onwards. The gains in those early arcs were quite slow until the saiyan arc where the characters gained more power more quickly than they ever could have before many of those instances were achieved without zenkais. The characters may have shifted their focus to transformations however to actually achieve some of those transformations those characters had to push their limits and become stronger to achieve it. Just look at Gohan, he had to train with Goku in order to achieve Super Saiyan. We did not see Goku's training in the afterlife so we can't assume that Goku did not have to push his limits and become stronger to achieve SSJ3 especially because of how he was able to surpass SSJ2 Teen Gohan. Just because they stopped getting zenkais doesn't mean they cannot get replicate the training feats they were able to achieve without the aid of zenkais, for example Goku on King Kai's planet or Goku on the way to Namek.dragon boss z wrote:The more you train the harder it is to get stronger. When you go to the gym and start lifting weights you will get strong quick, but after a while your gains will slow.mcdjbeatz wrote:
Well I came to that conclusion because in the past when Goku has trained he has become significantly stronger, for example in just six days Goku went from 8,000 to 90,0000 on his way to Namek, that is an insane increase in power in just six days, another example is Goku going from 416 to 8,000 in 158 days on King Kai's Planet. Due to these feats I can't see why Goku cannot pull off a similar feat of growing that much stronger in 22 years of training. I wouldn't say that Goku becoming stronger than Teen Gohan at the cell games is a small feat either, after all at the cell games when Gohan transformed he was not only more powerful due to the SSJ2 multiplier which made him as strong as super perfect cell but also he becomes 2x stronger than that due to rage which means he is 4x stronger due to SSJ2 and rage, that way when Gohan's ki is halved it is not completely unbelievable that Gohan is able to overwhelm Cell. As a result Goku becoming stronger than that Gohan is quite a big feat. As for Beerus how could he determine whether Goku could beat Frieza in his base just by tapping him and even if he could Goku would likely be suppressed as he likely tried to suppress himself when he was in King Kai's House because he was trying to hide from Beerus. But suppose your right by saying Goku could not beat Frieza, Beerus states "It doesn't appear to me like you could defeat him as you are" Beerus does not flat out state that Goku could not under any circumstance beat Frieza and seems somewhat unsure, this implies to me that Goku is at least somewhat close to Frieza. That stills leaves six years for Goku to get stronger than Frieza and Cooler which I believe is possible due to the previous training feats that I have listed. But I do agree that kaioken Goku would win against Cooler, not that I would think he would need it.
Also in the Daizenshuu it states after the Frieza saga they stopped getting big zenkai boosts and focused more on transformations.
In both BoG and Super they have the line of Goku not being able to beat Frieza while in base so I don't really see why we shouldn't take it at face value considering their is nothing that contradicts it. After absorbing god ki though Goku's base is much stronger than Frieza now.
It's possible his base got stronger than Frieza, but with the lack of evidence plus Beerus' statement it makes more sense to say Frieza is stronger.
