Well, we don't know those were weighted, but I see your point. Still, Krillin is roughly the same strength at both of these points, at a time when weighted clothes are still relevant. Also, we know that the clothes that Kaio gives Goku aren't weighted. This to me indicates that it's around the level when the concept of weighted clothes kinda loses its relevance.Mjb1985 wrote:You can see Kuririn take off his weights twice.

True it's not 100%, but everyone is shown taking off a mysterious black shirt before they to fight the Saiyans. Then we see Kuririn take off another mysterious black shirt as he goes off to battle insanely powerful foes on Namek.
No more so than gravity training. Piccolo seems to be the only one who maintains weighted clothing. Power statements and fights back that up to.
Piccolo over one million still got a benefit from weights.
And Piccolo went from rivaling the androids to perhaps being slightly superior to 17.

However, there is a huge gap between Freeza arc Piccolo and Kamiccolo. Piccolo is over 150x stronger than he was in the Freeza Arc after fusing with Kami.
Also, he isn't seen fighting the Androids in his cape and turban, so we don't really have a way to compare. Goku doesn't take off his undershirt when he fights Cell, and Krillin shows up to the Cell Games wearing one of those too.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
I think Gohan just didn't know how strong Goku really was, and underestimated him. So I think Yakon is stronger than Gohan for Gohan to think it'd take two of them to beat him, but not stronger than Goku.dbzfan7 wrote:Yakon could have underestimated Goku like Goku said in the quote and held back when attacking Goku as he thought Goku couldn't defend himself. It's a plausible theory as to why after Goku gets his SSJ form drained, Gohan says they should team up so SSJ isn't needed.Saiga wrote:I think Yakon's between Gohan and Goku, since Gohan wanted to team up but Goku was already toying with him. So Goku takes this.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
That was because Gohan didn't realize that he had surpassed his dad. During the Buu Arc, he knew that he was much stronger than Goku at the Cell Games.

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

I have Kibito Kai between SSJ2 and SSJ3 Goku, so he should stomp Dabura, unless he gets lucky with his spit.

As I see it, he's around the same level, or slightly weaker than, Saiyan Arc Vegeta. He overpowered Kaio-ken Goku, but a Kaio-kenx3 was too much for him.Draken wrote:I've never really gotten how strong the villains were in movie 2. Could Wheelo beat Vegeta (first time seen on Namek)?

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
I think that he could, easily. Goku seems to be roughly the same strength that he was in the Vegeta fight, and Roshi and Krillin are still somewhat relevant in an actual fight, so I think that Wheelo would be crushed by Namek Vegeta.Draken wrote:Ah, so initial Namek Arc Vegeta could take Wheelo then?Kamiccolo9 wrote:As I see it, he's around the same level, or slightly weaker than, Saiyan Arc Vegeta.

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.
Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
I never really understood that. Wasn't Gohan stated to have lost a shitton of ki when he flew in front of Vegeta and took the full force of Cell's blast? Yet he was still strong enough to beat Cell, I don't see that as on the same level as SSJ2 Gohan.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:But Super Perfect Cell was implied to be around the same level as Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, while Bojack was obviously far from that level.I put Bojack on the same level as Super Perfect Cell

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
Super Saiyan 2 Gohan at half power managed to overcome Super Perfect Cell in the Kamehameha duel. I do think that Cell is stronger than Bojack, but they are on the same tier.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread
If Gohan was so much stronger than Cell, then he wouldn't have been nearly killed by one blast that Cell didn't even put any effort into. I mean as it stands SS2 Gohan has NO feats that put him above SPC... he got nearly killed with one blast (which was nowhere near Cell's best, as he intended it to kill Vegeta and said that he was done playing around right after firing it) and then lost a beam struggle... quickly...with Gohan expressing great surprise that he got so strong. It's only because of Vegeta that the solar system didn't blow up right there.
