Dabura and Babidi were surprised that a power of 3,000 Kiris existed.

Does that mean: Gohan SSJ2 (Vs Dabura)> 3,000 Kiris> Gohan SSJ2 (TB25)?
They thought Yamu and Lord Spopovich got the energy from hundreds of people (lol, hundreds of King Colds maybe). They didn't know they sapped it from one powerful mortal.

Babidi clearly has no idea how much energy is needed to fill the meter. He probably knows the readings of his goons and still expected Pui Pui (<<800 Kili) to collect the energy. Unless you go with the Base Saiyans > SSJ2 Gohan bs.

Galu didn't even bleed a drop from behind shot unguarded by White in Muscle Tower. Galu just doesnt like getting shot since it stings.

So Bora would take similar damage from the hyper gun?

I think it might kill him, honestly. Galu showed greater durability feats than Roshi in the 21st despite having similar power, and Roshi noted how durable he was in the 23rd, Vegeta shows durability above other characters with similar power and Nappa is noted to be an absolute tank and so on. If Bora took the enhanced gun in an unguarded part of his body it could ve dangerous, plus Tao killed him with greater ease than how he dispatched w/ Galu.

Did Goku know he was getting sick when he was fighting 19? Why didn’t he ask for his medicine or brought it with him for the fight?

And why didn’t it manifest during the 3 years? Was it just time travel stuff or did Goku take some, but not enough of the meds during training?

Either it's time travel bullshit, or Galu training harder than in the original timeline led to him developing symptoms later than in the original future.

It was one of the things Trunks changed with his initial visit to warn everyone about the androids.

I've run with the idea that Karin (training Goku) was equal to Tao Pai Pai for quite some time now. Thoughts on this?

Pretty similar reactions to both of their speeds.

Karin acted like Galu surpassing him 3 years later was a much more recent development than the RRA arc. Unless Karin got some of those MANLY ROSHI GAINZ, he was merely toying with Galu to avoid making getting the water too hard imo. Let's not forget that even though Roshi said Mummy >> 21st Galu, Yamcha lost much more easily to Roshi than he did to the Mummy. I think statements directly comparing the threats of certain opponents are more reliable here than directly comparing stomping feats, since most of the warming up portions aren't good indicators of actual gaps (Yamcha landing a blow on initial Tenshithands etc.).

Yea I definitely think Karin was suppressed heavily. It was all too convenient that Goku ended up just barely stronger than Tao Psi Pai after his training.

That’s why he said Karin (training Goku) :donovan

Karin definitely had to be suppressed if Goku could keep up with him. I think he was still superior to Goku though since the later had to tickle him to get the water.

He was but it didn't seem like by much. Goku was putting a ton of pressure on him.

Which only applies if you think Bora = post- MT Galu. That's pretty clearly not the case, since Galu showed no signs of fearing Tao after he killed Bora, which he would have if stomping Bora were a good indication of being able to stomp him. Galu got scared shitless of post-robe removal Daimao or Raditz, who could kill him with similar ease.

Watching Super and I can't get over how fucking terrible the animation is in the early episodes. Funimation "improved" episode 5, but episode 6 has been hilariously bad so far. How the hell did this abomination ever get released? :ha

Couldnt the future timeline have used shenron to wish for a cure for Gokus illness?

I think Shenlong could have cured him.. But given how quickly Goku succumbed to the virus when fighting 19, I think there was no time to gather the balls and wish for Goku's well being.
