Never said it didn't but knowing Trunks, who is a much more ruthless fighter than Gohan, he would probably slice and dice Lavender before it weakens him too much
The Trio de Danger's power is kind of inconsistent. Goku and Vegeta should have been able to body them in seconds, them going Blue to overpower their attack is retarded.
It's the only way to make the beginning of Z numbers work. Realistically, Roshi shouldn't even be a fraction of the other characters power considering ~50% Old Daimao >>>> Post 22nd Goku >> Match Level Goku > Roshi.
Good argument. This is why I don't take statements like Goku saying #17 is almost about as strong as us, when feats wise he had a drawn out fight with Dyspo while SSJB Vegeta 1-shot Dyspo.
It's just a roundabout way of saying "he's strong".
Vegeta was already shown being capable of powering up his SSJ2 beyond SSJ3 Tier in battle of Gods from rage. And Vegeta was definitely pissed about what Black was doing
