    BoDB Goku vs Spopovich

    How does Goku know it's above Spopovich's ability though? He couldn't sense Spopovich's chi and didn't know how strong Spopovich was before. Goku would have likely seen some things that weren't in sync there to come to that conclusion.

    Are we sure Goku wasn't using his match level on Gohan?

    But yeah I get your point. Like, going by the same logic, Roshi would need to have been suppressed vs Goku at the 21st. Honestly though, the prime Roshi might be a thing... But prime Roshi would have been able to one shot the mummy too... Like, The Mummy was said to "might be too much for the...

    BoDB Goku vs Spopovich

    One interesting quote from Galu tho: "He has powers beyond his natural abilities... But why... ? " It's curious that Goku worded it as beyond his natural abilities upon seeing the Kiai and the Bukujutsu. The most common thing would be to say that Spopo had been suppressed before. The...

    BoDB Goku vs Spopovich

    Well, whether Toriyama was thinking of that or not, he showed that feat there... So it is the within the content, it is part of the pieces for the puzzle. If some pieces would make the puzzle more of a puzzle, but were still there, then we need those pieces too as well to complete the puzzle...

    Are we sure Goku wasn't using his match level on Gohan?

    Did Roshi really say might in the word for word JP manga tho? He may very well have used that type of uncertain expression, I agree, but I've seen some sentences Herms had translated, like ones expressing uncertainty of some sorts such as "likely"... that when I was double checking the JP raw...

    Goku vs Metallic

    Close enough. But not quite there to be a very tough opponent. Still, a respectable and tough one regardless. Like 90/100 .... Goku needed the KMHMH since Metallic's durability would make him non stop and the KMHMH destroyed his upper body. Still, the fact Metallic could still move since he a...

    BoDB Goku vs Spopovich

    Ehh if it were only for the Spopovich vs Videl fight, I'd say Goku. I think BoDB Goku was above Videl to a point enough he could dominate her easily... While it seemed like Spopovich struggled at first, and then his performance enhance drugs steroid magics just took the brunt of the damage Videl...

    Are we sure Goku wasn't using his match level on Gohan?

    Which scene specifically? You mean Karin saying Goku has likely surpassed Roshi? Well, who knows how strong was when he was fine training with Karin. Since it's somewhat implied Rosh as a young disciple who fought Piccolo alongside Mutaito, when young, was likely > the one from the 22nd...

    Are we sure Goku wasn't using his match level on Gohan?

    Well, Roshi would be also taking into account the [hypothetical... It's a theory] non-FP Goku there. Following this line of thinking, Kuririn and Yamcha didn't surpass post Karin Goku. As for Roshi, it's interesting because at least according to VIZ, Tsuru said that "now he realizes how Goku...

    How does Goku=10 and somewhat strong adult human=5 work?

    Lol!! That's gold comedy. Man, you know how to word things just in the right way hahhaah

    Are we sure Goku wasn't using his match level on Gohan?

    Eh always assume full power, sure... But that's considering there is no other evidence to point out that they held back. Since Toriyama in the 22nd Budokai painted Tao Pai Pai as someone who couldn't be defeated by Yamcha, as Ten was in disbelief that Goku did that unless it was luck, having...

    How does Goku=10 and somewhat strong adult human=5 work?

    It's battle powers, scouter from aliens... Who knows what is 2x stronger for them. Irl we wouldn't be able to give someone a number, like, hmm his strength is an 8. If you hear something like that it sounds more like a general rating, like "good, very good, but not perfect". Like the trend...

    Nappa Arc Power Levels

    Yeah but it'd need to ignore the scouter numbers. Does Masenko need to be > Kikoho? Btw it's tricky anyways because if Piccolo thought the Kikoho would have killed Nappa, then he would have needed to be sensing Nappa's powers in off ways. Like, he can sense that Nappa is >> him but he can't...

    So, where do you have Piccolo and the suicide attack?
