"His ki is the same as it was on Namek."

Post by Legendary Saiya-Jin » Fri Mar 29, 2013 5:43 am

I remember this (or something very close along the lines of it) being a well-known translation of what Piccolo muttered after Gokuu demonstrated his Super Saiya-Jin transformation in front of the androids 19 and 20. What do you think about this? Is it totally wrong? If not, could the oddity of Piccolo somehow knowing Gokuu's SSJ ki on Namek be explained? Could it imply that Gokuu's SSJ strength did not increase much, if at all, from three years of training?

Piccolo didn't seem bothered by it at first, though.

I don't remember a line like that. Piccolo just said that Goku was amazing, but should have been much more amazing than he was demonstrating.

Wasn't that line said by Gohan about Trunks?

Tienshinhan said it was amazing and I believe Piccolo said something along the lines of "Yes, it is amazing. But he should be demonstrating much more."

My bad. I was referring to the line about his ki being the same as it was on Namek.

Unless it's in the anime, I don't think there's any line even close to that.

Gohan says Super Saiyan Trunks has the same ki as Goku on Namek, but this could be referring to type of ki rather than quantity.

I concur with Herms. I don't think this line was ever spoken during those events.

I'm not sure, but, I specifically even remember there being a discussion about on here a long time ago, and that it was what Piccolo specifically said after Gokuu transformed.

He never makes a comparison of Goku's strength to what it was when he was on Namek. All his comments about Goku's strength were as follows.
Chapter 340 (DBZ 146), P13.1-2
Tenshinhan: “Wh-what a ki! Amazing…! S-so this is Goku as a Super Saiyan…?!”
Piccolo: “…”
Chapter 341 (DBZ 147), P6.2-4
Context: as Goku fights No.19
Tenshinhan: ”In-incredible…What strength…S-so that’s a Super Saiyan…He’s in a completely different dimension than we are…Too different…”
Piccolo: “…I wonder…”
Chapter 341 (DBZ 147), P8.4-5, P9.
Piccolo: “Have you noticed too, Gohan?...”
Gohan: “Y-yes…”
Piccolo: “Son Goku is rushing the match for some reason…He’s already putting out close to his full power…But even so, what’s with that miserable condition of his?...”
Tenshinhan: “Th-that miserable condition…!? What are you talking about? Goku’s overwhelmingly pushing him back…!”
Piccolo: “It’s not that. As a Super Saiyan, Goku’s power should be more stupendous than this…”

Yes, I know. I was just thinking that the TC might have attributed this line to Piccolo by mistake.
