“Id-idiot! Check out his latent power…! It’s a different thing than what it was before…!"

[Evil Vegeta]

Vegeta: “Id-idiot! Check out his latent power…! It’s a different thing than what it was before…! What’s more, he’s regained his composure and has become calm…”

What do you think Vegeta is trying to say here?

It sounds as if he's instructing Krillin to sense Freeza's hidden power rather than his actual power.

But since Goku was able to sense Freeza's Ki and question if his fully healed self could win....why exactly would Vegeta ask Krillin to check his latent power?

I dunno. The quote just sounds odd to me. Viz at least makes it sound like Krillin was just having trouble sensing Freeza's change in general.

Goku might have thought Freeza could get even more powerful, since he transformed several-times by this point and even Goku didn't know what was happening.

 

[SSJ2]

Maybe it's similar to Krillin commenting on SSJ G3 Trunks before he began fighting.



Maybe Vegeta knew the same could be said for Freeza, but Krillin wasn't considering it at the time.

I think he's just saying he's really strong

Stunning revelation.
