Was Freeza Saga Krillin maxed out?

[withheldforprivacy]

Someone on Neoseeker said that Krillin reached the peak of his power at Freeza's saga, because Guru's was
supposed to bring out his full potential. He explained that Gohan was a 5 year old and his potential would
increase, whereas Krillin was a fully grown adult. What do you think?

 

[Six Trails]

Sounds like grasping. Krillin still bothered training for the Androids which I doubt he'd do if he couldn't get any stronger.

 

[Evil Vegeta]

I doubt it.

 

[Yoshi]

No, otherwise he wouldn't train for the Androids knowing they were stronger than Freeza.

What people don't seem to understand is that when someone's potential is unleashed, it's the latent power you have at the time. You can still train to greater heights. But at any level, after a power up or training, you have more and more hidden energy as well.

All the potential unlocks in the series (except one) only tapped into your hidden potential. In the Boo Arc, Gohan's potential unlocked beyond his limits.

"Potential" doesn't really mean anything. Both their "potentials" shot up ridiculously over the course of a day or something; even the official numbers reflect that, oh and Gohan had a huge amount of untapped potential when he fought Freeza.

Not arguing against that.

Potential is all plot based since Dragon Ball mainly relies on continuous strings of stronger enemies to provide its kicks. At the courtesy of bad writing, your limits can shoot up from stalemating SSJ2 Goku to god level at the flip of a hat if the author decides to make you relevant.

From a reality's perspective, when you're andult you don't have much potential anymore. You should be at your peak at that point. That's why professional athletes don't improve once their late 20's/early 30's.

I realize that, I work out regularly. But in DBZ we can go from Goku at his peak at age 18 with a 300ish PL compared to him being over 40 and having a PL off the charts. In this universe, there's only ever recently been any kind of suggestion of a power cap (with Beerus Godly energy etc.)

Goku is a saiyan. His biology doesn't work like a normal human's like Krillin.

 

[Yoshi]

Does anyone else realize how god damn poop Goku was in the beginning of Dragon Ball? He was a piss ant, I swear. Hell, in the beginning of Z, Raditz laughed at him... Fucking Raditz, his brother, who was worlds above him even during their fight. It really is a miracle he ended up that strong... Or as Kenshi said, it's an example of bad writing.

That doesn't disprove anything. Humans train and get stronger just like anyone else in DB. Just not to the extent of Saiyans.

He was pretty ass iirc along with Piccolo. Imagine if Raditz never came to Earth? This always has been asked by people. What would happen? lol

Bababi's potential unlock also brought Vegeta's power to beyond his limits.

Do you think his potential unlock on Namek was a hint he couldn't and didn't have much gains from his
training during the 3 years?
