If a non-Z fighter was trying to become as strong as possible, to catch up with the Z fighters to help vs Nappa, who should it be and which coach?

The goal is to prepare for Nappa. They join their new coach at the end of the 23rd Budokai.

Could be anyone from the 21st, 22 or 23rd Budokais, the RRA Army Saga or any other part of pre-Z Dragon Ball. The trainee cannot be Kami, Yajirobe, Roshi or anyone who fought Nappa. They can't train alongside anyone who fights Nappa, because it's a surprise. They'll turn up suddenly and help out.

They're not allowed to train under Roshi or Shen. They're able to convince anyone to train them, even their enemy. They can have a sparring partner, if needed (specify who).if the sparring partner gets strong enough, they can also join the Z fighters.


I'm thinking Android 8 may be the best option. He can train under Krillin's school, then under Popo, with King Chappa as a partner. Then he can go and spar with Chappa when the others arrive at Kami's.

Or maybe Namu? He can train with General Blue, under Kami. That way they'll learn ki. Unfortunately he won't learn flight. Maybe he can learn paralysis from Blue and Kami, to make his flying attack easier to land, plus Kami could help Blue improve his telekinesis. Namu could overtake Krillin and even Tien, in terms of base power. He's already so strong without enough water.

I'd probably go with Chi Chi. Given how powerful she was at the 23rd without much formal training, if she was trained by Kami/Popo for 6 years she might have been on par with the Z Senshi.

But unless they are able to use Kaio as their master I can't see anyone becoming strong enough to make a huge difference.

Chichi should be able to one shot every human except for the Z-team and Tai Pai Pai. King Chappa might be in trouble.
