Captain Cadaver said:Trunks oneshotting Freeza is brought up no less than three times as a benchmark, with no comment being made about how it was purely due to Freeza being suppressed. The narrative definitely seemed to be painting the picture he could oneshot Freeza in general.
It could also be logically deduced that Freeza's Ki blast was at his full power and the lack of visible GAINZ might have been due to his cybernetics allowing him to use 100% of his power without the stamina problems as he does in Super. It would be pretty dumb of him to hold back in the face of a Super Saiyan, after all.
