Majin Yamu and Spopovich run the DB gauntlet

[Southern Gothic]

The two spergs start at the BoDB and work their way up. How far can they go as a team?

Lord :bitch and Bottom Bitch Yamu give Zen-Oh a spanking before taking on Lord :bitch's eternal rival, Lord

Without Spopovichism, it all hinges on how much stock you put into Spopovich and Yamu presenting clear flight auras. If you believe it was nothing but an artistic choice, the pair get stomped by any named fighter, seeing as how they wouldn't need to be much stronger than Videl.
If you believe it's meant to show their power as only characters of a certain power threshold have shown an aura whilst flying, they'd be above BoZ Goku and Spopovich was likely heavily suppressed against Videl. With this logic, either of them solo Part 1 DB.

I'm starting to believe that :bitch, even without the power of :bitch ism is stronger than we gave him credit for. After all, there'd be little reason Babidi would even bother making him and BB Yamu his lapdogs when there's numerous background henchmen of (seemingly) PuiPui's descent riding the ship and they've never been deployed as decoys. Even assuming he figured the two of them would fit in better due to being Earthlings, he still trusted them to carry valuable energy so they probably are stronger than the background henchmen at least, even if far below

Without Spopovichism, obviously, because even a finger flick of :faggots and becomes self evident.

Personally I don't put much stock into the flight aura, not that I expect that to apply to everyone else's interpretation.

Whilst that's a good observation, I find it a little unlikely for the two to be that strong. After all, regardless of the importance of the energy, Babidi didn't expect them to gather as much as they did. Considering he was also able to quickly deduce was nearby, he may have already known about Shin's intervention and would've sent some of his most expendable henchmen just in case plans went awry.

Personally I don't put much stock into the flight aura, not that I expect that to apply to everyone else's interpretation.

Whilst I admit it isn't the most sound of evidence, the fact is we haven't seen a character below a certain level display a flight aura, plus it being the result of a fighter's kinetic energy surpassing certain elements such as the sound barrier and the like would suggest it is a matter of force. The weakest character we've seen display a flight aura is Dende, and whilst most would argue him to be weaker than BoZ Goku or Saiyan Arc Gohan/Kuririn, I have no problem with the idea of him being as high as the 1-1.5k area. After all, it's unlikely that the regular Namekians had their potential unlocked, not to mention him getting from one side of Namek to the other in what seems to be about 2-3 hours at most is a pretty impressive speed feat.

Tl;dr, there doesn't seem to be anything outright contradicting the flight aura argument, regardless of it's unconventional nature.

Another thing of note is that Goku calls Spopo's strength "unnatural" and says he's above his natural limits despite dealing with such superhumans as psychics like Blue and several other earthlings of warped physiology including 3-eyed or noseless men, and unnaturally durable ones like Yajirobe. Even if he weren't on alien tier yet, he could very well be above the weaker fighters in the earlier Budokais at least.

Specifically, I should mention "in this case" I don't pay attention to the flight aura. Since they were obviously granted this power through magical means, I can at least consider flight being part of the deal. Mostly I can't imagine henchmen being very useful without this ability. I think it would be tied into battle power, not totally mystical, but just something about ki being manipulated, which Babidi sort of does when stamping people with the M. This is authors privilege of course and not related typical debate logic.

That being said, I don't think Lord :bitch or his minion are quite on nameless thug tier. The likes of Bora should be fodder to the both of them imo, without buying into the flight aura logic. Not that I'm hyping up Bora here.

Another thing of note is that Goku calls Spopo's strength "unnatural" and says he's above his natural limits despite dealing with such superhumans as psychics like Blue and several other earthlings of warped physiology including 3-eyed or noseless men, and unnaturally durable ones like Yajirobe. Even if he weren't on alien tier yet, he could very well be above the weaker fighters in the earlier Budokais at least.

That was after Spopovich had his neck broken and snapped it back into place, something that would've been impossible of any fighter Galu had faced apart from perhaps Shello. Also, Goku's statement was that Spopo had "powers beyond his natural abilities", suggesting someone of his tier wouldn't be worth much if not for the abilities Babidi had granted him. It's also doubtful Goku was taking suppression into account, as all that was worth noting about him limiting himself was his Ki blast against Videl.

 

[Papasmurf]

He said he surpassed his limits and attained supernatural power after he fired that held back kiai that he deliberately didn't kill Videl with rather than directly after he healed his neck, so it's a bit of both I would assume. I agree he shouldn't be anything special after the 22nd though.

I'd say that Ginyu, Gurd and Frieza might have arguably also survived a broken neck.
