what do you think of those?

100% Freezer > post-absoption 19/20 is something I would undoubtedly say and I'm not considering myself a casual by any means...Captain Cadaver said:Yeah, neither do I. I used to watch a few of his videos years ago, though they contain your typical casual DB fan misjudgements like 100% Freeza > post-absorption #20/19, post-Freeza Arc Tenshithands > Kuririn or Rild > Boo talking about Pure Boo. Not bad stuff if he weren't so bothered about DB power debates, but poor when his entire channel is dedicated to such.
I'm talking about the version of him seen on Namek, not the hypothetical full power, MSSJ tier version you preach of.freezamite said:100% Freezer > post-absoption 19/20 is something I would undoubtedly say and I'm not considering myself a casual by any means...
Even then I wouldn't put 19 and 20 (even post-absorption) above him. I mean, that injured Freezer managed to fight SSJ Goku at his same level for a a few minutes, and N20 couldn't even start to fight with Piccolo, who was as strong as Trunks at best. And I don't think N19 could reach a PL that could surpass N20 (Guero made him weak so it would be easy to control, so he probably had a cap below Guero's own maximum PL).Captain Cadaver said:I'm talking about the version of him seen on Namek, not the hypothetical full power, MSSJ tier version you preach of.
An SSJ Trunks far stronger than the one who beat Mecha Freeza. #19 was also able to fight against a far stronger version of SSJ Goku than Freeza beat, albeit poorly, and I highly doubt the Ki he took from Vegeta would lower him down to a level below Freeza, whereas everyone was in agreement this drained Vegeta would lose to Gero.freezamite said:Even then I wouldn't put 19 and 20 (even post-absorption) above him.

Why do you think SSJ Trunks was far stronger now than when he fought Mecha? Progress as a SSJ is much, much more limited than it was in the base state until Goku discovered how to properly train it.Captain Cadaver said:An SSJ Trunks far stronger than the one who beat Mecha Freeza. #19 was also able to fight against a far stronger version of SSJ Goku than Freeza beat, albeit poorly, and I highly doubt the Ki he took from Vegeta would lower him down to a level below Freeza, whereas everyone was in agreement this drained Vegeta would lose to Gero.freezamite said:Even then I wouldn't put 19 and 20 (even post-absorption) above him.

Regarding Goku, his power never reached the PL of a SSJ. Even when he was trouncing N19, Piccolo said his power was far too low for it to be the power of a SSJ, in other words, Piccolo had never seen a SSJ as weak as Goku while fighting N19 and he knew how strong a SSJ was because he trained the whole 3 years with Goku.
That's simply not true. Tien is amazed at sick SSJ Goku simply because it's still a huge power from his perspective, but Piccolo's comment on Goku's strength (he clearly states that Goku's power is much, much lower than what a SSJ should have. And he doesn't say SSJ Goku, he says "a SSJ") leaves no doubt: sick SSJ Goku never had a power comparable to what one should expect from a SSJ (or at least, from the SSJs seen at that point in the series).KyuubiAhri said:Tien sensed SSj post yardrat goku and he feels like sick goku is in a whole different dimension

The earliest known version of SSJ Trunks was weaker than Base Future Gohan, so that's obviously false.freezamite said:Progress as a SSJ is much, much more limited than it was in the base state until Goku discovered how to properly train it.

I think you're drawing too many conclusions from those sentences. For example, I have Piccolo at SSJ Trunks level of power (and SSJ Trunks at the practically the same PL as the Mecha/Cold encounter, which is the same PL of SSJ Namek Goku btw) and all those sentences fit the bill perfectly.Captain Cadaver said:Chapter 337 (DBZ 143), P1.3-4, P2.1
Piccolo: “How about it, Son Goku?…Frankly, do you think we can win against this enemy…”
Goku: “There’s no way I could know that without even seeing them. I’ll answer once I give it a try.”
Piccolo: “You’re pretty carefree…It’s not like I lack confidence…However, I can’t clear this uneasy premonition from my mind…”
Piccolo stated he was confident in his strength when talking to Goku before arriving at the island, despite knowing Trunks was no match for the opponents they were going to face. In the anime, it's even more explicit with him outright stating his strength should be enough, and Kuririn's statement also makes it apparent Piccolo is at bare minimum on a similar level to the SSJs.
Chapter: 346 (DBZ 152), P12.4
Kuririn: “He’s st-strong…! What kind of training did Piccolo do…And he’s not even a Su-Super Saiyan…”
Regardless of where you place #19 and #20, Piccolo should obviously be above SSJ Trunks (vs Mecha Freeza) at the very least based on this, and Trunks should therefore be significantly above his self from 3 years ago.
Not only that, but there's also a clear difference in how Trunks describes #17 and #18 from his first visit to the main timeline and his return 3 years later.
I think you're taking Trunk's first sentence too literally, ignoring the context in which it was said.Captain Cadaver said:Chapter: 335 (DBZ 141), P3.3-4
Goku: “For you, a Super Saiyan who instantly defeated Freeza and co., to call them monsters is really something…
Trunks “Yes…I’ve stood against them, but unfortunately…In any case, I’m up against two of them…Even fighting one-on-one, I could barely manage to escape…”
Chapter: 355 (DBZ 161), P8.5
Trunks: “They’re also somewhat different from the androids I know…They weren’t as outrageously strong as this…Even I could fight them fairly well…”
Barely managing to escape =/= Fighting fairly well. Trunks having increased his power within that time and having another conflict with the pair during it is the only way to not make his words contradictory.
Age is a factor in DB as well when you're at your limits. The reason Trunks was a bit stronger than Goten was that he was 8 while Goten was still just 7.Captain Cadaver said:The earliest known version of SSJ Trunks was weaker than Base Future Gohan, so that's obviously false.
What Piccolo is saying is that Goku, despite fighting at full strength, didn't have a power comparable to the one that should be expected from a SSJ.Captain Cadaver said:Chapter 341 (DBZ 147), P8.4-5, P9.
Piccolo: “Have you noticed too, Gohan?...”
Gohan: “Y-yes…”
Piccolo: “Son Goku is rushing the match for some reason…He’s already putting out close to his full power…But even so, what’s with that miserable condition of his?...”
Tenshinhan: “Th-that miserable condition…!? What are you talking about? Goku’s overwhelmingly pushing him back…!”
Piccolo: “It’s not that. As a Super Saiyan, Goku’s power should be more stupendous than this…”
Here, Piccolo blatantly states Goku was fighting at near enough his full power, not at a far lower level. Now, you can argue that he was referring to Goku's effort and limits being at their peak, or that his movements were what was poor. Considering Tenshinhan's attitude towards the Super Saiyan power in general though, despite having already seen what both Trunks and Goku were capable of 3 years prior, the latter makes far more sense without chalking it up to Ten being an amnesiac.
Or you can have explanation 3, which is something that has happened a lot in the series, which is that Tens perception may have changed from before.Captain Cadaver said:Chapter 340 (DBZ 146), P13.1-2
Tenshinhan: “Wh-what a ki! Amazing…! S-so this is Goku as a Super Saiyan…?!”
Piccolo: “…”
Ten's wording of the statement implies one of two things.
1. He completely forgot about seeing both Goku and Trunks three years ago.
2. Goku's power at this point eclipses what he was three years ago.
Decide which route fits better, but from an in-universe perspective, the answer's obvious.
Chapter 334, page 7:
Ten-Shin: A... super saiyan?
Yamcha: Wow... what a huge ki... and he's not even fighting yet.
