Who's the strongest character you think they could win against after the power up they've gotten from Babidi? :think:

Honestly, I think they'd get beaten by Bandit Yamcha from the start of the series. I put them at somewhere around his level.

Videl was much stronger than Satan, who was pretty strong for non Z Warriors standard, and she was massacred by Spopovich, i think they have about 1000-1500

Really, at maximum I'd place them around Goku from the beginning of Dragon Ball.
I'd place them below Kid Goku (Official BP= 10) but above Yamcha.
If we're talking about "Power Levels" then I'd maybe give both of them a battle power of 9.

Do we know who's stronger between the two? If you had to predict, who would it be?

Yamu, as Toriyama has a precedent of making the smaller, and less intimidating one stronger.

I think they were around 30 as they were also able to fly quite fast

Yeah, they're definitely around that level. They'd get creamed by any of the competent fighters from the 21st Budokai. Heck, I think even Chi-Chi from the 23rd Budokai could kick their asses. Despite their Majin power up and superhuman endurance, their feats weren't anything spectacular. Spopovich got bodied by a fresh Videl, who was strong by human standards, but still wasn't on the level of BoDB Goku. She was stronger than her father, yes, and while she did get trained by Gohan, all he taught her to do was harness her ki and fly. She couldn't even shoot ki blasts. And simply learning how to use ki doesn't automatically make one stronger. Despite that, Spopovich was only able to beat Videl by outlasting her thanks to his enhanced endurance and stamina.

Interesting... Can you expend your opinion about this range?

Raditz was a Mid-Class Soldier in Frieza's Army, he had a power level of 1500 (or "over 1200") that makes him stronger by a large margin than any of the original Dragon Ball series' villains (Piccolo from the 23rd World Tournament included; heck even Banan & Sui who are much weaker than Raditz can zap King Piccolo & his "Demon Clan" of Mutated-Namekians to another dimension with ease).

It seems like an extreme underestimation if you ask me. They could fly with an aura larger than the one Gohan & Krillin had against Guldo, so it's safe to say they're at least stronger than 1000 (for the record, Nappa's aura was smaller than theirs).

I really don't think Videl is that low level. Perhaps the majin humans would be around the 100 BP, IDK

It was implied Majin Yamu and Spopovich had powers way beyond their natural abilities so anyone massively stronger than their physical bodies like the four promising youths (yes... even Krillin) who easily tear him apart regardless of his powers.

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.

Apparently Yamu was the stronger one, due to him being shown as the more serious one who was able to tame Spopovich while he was beating Videl to near-death state (kinda like Vegeta was able to calm down Nappa).

I'd have to put them below Goku and Roshi from the 21st Budokai, probably even Krillin.

Remember that Mr Satan is not able to resist bullets, meaning he's weaker than even Krillin before the training with Roshi, and also remember that Videl is not that much stronger than her father, she was just stronger, but not a lot, I doubt she would resist bullets either.

Making Spopovich and Yamu higher than Raditz arc Goku is ridiculous.

Probably Goku and Piccolo level at the end of Dragonball at the most. Definitely weaker than everyone from the start of DBZ.

It's hard to say for sure.

Videl was strong enough that she almost certainly would've killed or permanently crippled Spopovich if not for the weird Majin magic making it possible for him to just pop his broken neck back in place. On the other hand, it seemed like Spopovich was holding back to some extent in order to beat the crap out of her as much as possible without killing her -- I think it was even stated that it seemed like the ki blast he used was held back from what he could've really been capable of.

Now how strong is Videl... that's also hard to guess. We know she's stronger than Mr. Satan for sure, especially after learning to use ki I would assume... but she's not so strong that ordinary bullets can't hurt her when she's caught off guard. However... the only time we see her get shot is when Gohan was drunkenly deflecting bullets, so it's entirely possible the bullet that hit her actually had more force behind it than it had when fired from the gun. Maybe a normal bullet from the same gun, without the extra "oomph" of Gohan knocking it aside, wouldn't have been such a threat to her. It's kinda like how Raditz caught the farmer's shot and flicked it back so hard that it killed him, went clean through the other side, and busted through his truck too... and not only that, there was so much power behind it that the truck moved rather than just getting a hole punched into it. A slug from a shotgun is pretty powerful (they're used by police to break engine blocks to stop someone fleeing arrest sometimes) but not usually enough to completely penetrate a large human body and a vehicle one after the other. Heck, usually they won't even completely penetrate a vehicle unless they hit a weaker spot with no sturdy metal parts inside -- when used vs. engine blocks they don't actually go through so much as hit it hard enough to cause cracks or other damage that prevents the car from functioning well enough to drive it away, if it still works at all.

So, assuming that Videl wouldn't be in serious danger from a normal bullet (only one with extra power due to being smacked off course by someone way above normal-human level)... that would put her possibly as high as the low 100s range, so Spopovich and Yamu could very well be up in the mid/late Dragonball range, like 22nd or maybe even 23rd Budokai level. It's hard to imagine him being much stronger than that considering that the early-DBZ 400s are the point where you can effortlessly blow up the moon with an ordinary blast, as demonstrated by Piccolo.

I guess as far as power level numbers go, I'd say that the highest I'd put them would be in the upper 200s range, and the lowest I'd go would be somewhere in the low double-digits, like 20-25 or so. Basically they could be anywhere in the original-Dragonball range and it would still work, they're way below Pui Pui (who could be anywhere from early-Vegeta-ish to as strong as maybe 2nd or 3rd form Freeza) and any of the main cast either way.

I don't know about that. Yamu & Spopovitch were comparable to Mr. Satan before Bobbidi enchanted them. The rest of the 24th Tenkaichi Budoukai contestants were around that level of martial arts, too. With that mind, the finalists of the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai would be superior to them, I think.

Yeah, that's what Kuririn & Vegeta alluded.
