Vegeta would probably make Trunks train intensively, but I'm not so sure about Goten's case.

By the way, I tend to think Goten had more potential than his childhood friend, then heterosexual life partner. He didn't receive any gravity training yet he was roughly as powerful.

They were fighting in a Tournament, I doubt #18 was fighting all out.

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.

SSJ Goku (android saga before 3yr training) vs Mecha Freeza, Coola, Cold, Ginyu Force.

remove Ginyu Force if too hard and add the Coola Squadron if too easy for Goku.

Goku had already gotten stronger than his Ssj self on namek when he arrived on earth and "sparred" with Trunks, so this Goku would wipe the floor with the Freeza Clan with ease. The Ginyu force or Coola squad are fodder and don't make any difference.

We know that Ssj Trunks is around Future Gohan's level, and we know that Future Gohan wasn't as powerful as his dad was the last time he saw him turn Ssj, which was probably when he defeated Mecha Freeza and Cold in Trunks timeline. Future Trunks is not as powerful as Goku when they meet, and we know that Trunks is at least as strong as Ssj Goku on Namek, which means Goku must be stronger than he was on Namek, and back then he had enough power to easily handle Freeza. Add in his father and brother against an even stronger Ssj Goku, they don't stand a chance imo.

How about SSJ Goku Namek and SSJ Trunks vs Freeza (Mecha or Namek), Cold, and Coola

If we go by Coola's V-Jump battle power of 470,000,000 he'd be out of Goku and Trunks' league. But I don't know how credible that number is...

The Ginyu Force and/or Armored Squad are inconsequential. But a triple tag-team of Freeza, Coola, and Cold all coming at him at once could give Goku alone some serious trouble, even if he has moderately improved since Namek.

Goku AND Trunks working together, however, can cream them with very little trouble. Definitely slams the scales back down in their favor.

The team of Saiyan arc Vegeta, Nappa, Tarble & Raditz vs. Final form Freeza, Zarbon, Dodoria and Cui.

Everyone is at equal power levels.

Vegeta, Nappa, and to a certain extent, Raditz are all fierce and tenacious fighters. Whether they can win or not will largely depend on how much Tarble and his lack of combat aptitude ends up holding them back.

I'd say the Saiyans, if we are talking equal BP's. Vegeta and Nappa would dominate as their opponents, especially Freeza, don't seem very skilled as they relied on there immense power.

At equal strength, it'll be hard for anybody to overcome Vegeta's insane endurance.

Vegeta's "endurance" gave him no edge over SSJ2 Goku.

Goku is also more durable than most characters (even if not like Vegeta) and we really don't know how much they have been fighting.

Vegeta's endurance was important BEFORE the battle powers increased millions of times.

Hey, he survived against Kid Boo, that's got to show endurance.

He also gets the shit beat out of him more than anyone else in the series.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Fat Boo vs Evil Boo vs Kid Boo vs Cell vs Freeza at equal power levels and no regeneration.
