Does Kami have to be stronger than BOZ Tenshinhan?

[withheldforprivacy]

After training humans, Kami said ''you all surpass me now'', but does that mean that, before the training, none of them surpassed him? Kami could
have stuff about chi to teach them even if he was weaker than someone.

 

[Pyro]

I don't see any reason not to take it as a power statement.

 

[Evil Vegeta]

Yes. All of them were weaker than Kami before training with him. Probably weaker than Popo, too.

 

[DBZAOTA482]

I don't see Tien keeping with up his training to any extreme for BoZ... just enough to stay at peak condition.

 

[SIAD]

I tend to think: Goku (weighted BoZ)> = Piccolo (weighted BoZ)> = Goku (TB23)> = Piccolo (TB23)> Kami (DBZ)> Mr. Popo (DBZ)> = Tenshinhan (BoZ) >> Krilin (BoZ)> Kami (TB23).

Kami is ridiculously stronger than Tien you foool

Do you understand the sheer power gap between Tenshinhan and Kami at the 23rd??? To put in perspective. Surpressed Goku trolled Tenshinhan, and Ten was well aware that Goku wasn't putting out anywhere near his full power but thought that Shen (who is likely weaker than Kami was in his actual body) were at a level beyond anything even conceivable.

Kami > Shen >> Full Powered Goku (Ten's Estimation) >> Surpresed Goku >> Tenshinhan


There's no reason to assume that Ten made those kind of monstrous gains.

I very much agree with his chain, however it seems that the Z warriors Boz had an axed because Goku (BoZ) was just 1,664x Tien (BoZ).

 

[Animelover5487]

BoZ numbers should honestly be taken with a grain of salt, especially with how close Roshi's power level is to Krillin and Yamcha. Who should both be King Piccolo tier, if not higher by Z.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

It was power statement.

 

[Zippy]

Yes, by quite a bit.

 

[sei'taer]

I don't see any reason not to take that at face value. There's certainly nothing stated or shown to suggest otherwise.
