Why are Future Androids weaker than Present Androids?

Yaay, I love candies.

I guess it's possible they have the same power since Gingertown Cell said he was weaker than the Androids even before seeing the present ones but Future Gohan being 50% of Future #17 makes this a hard gap to fit into.

Not at all, unless you want to give large gains to Goku over the 3 year period.

Yeah the Cell Arc gaps are actually pretty tight until Cell starts absorbing and excluding #16.

They have the same power as the Present ones. They just toyed with Trunks, when he finished them off they finally used their true power against him. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Timeline shenanigans

I think they have to be weaker. It’s a key point in the drama. So much random stuff changed between timelines, why not their power too?

As for why, I think Gero suppressed them. Most likely answer since “their infinite power isn’t infinite” is retarded.

That’s how story progression works though. Freeza is the strongest being in all existence, oh wait he has a transformation! And another! A story progresses in the same fashion here.

Simple. Because the evidence says so. Future 18 implies she can finish off Trunks quickly and they agree to stop playing with him. It’s literally in the story.

Gero suppressed them to better control them.

Present > Future > Trunks?

 

[Papasmurf]

#18 didn't do enough kegel exercises and suffered from loose pussy which caused her power to plummet

 

[FeatsofPower]

Present > Future > Trunks?

No, the only implication comes from faulty reasoning. Cell doesn't distinguish the difference between the two, so there's no need. Trunks was being played, as the story implies.

In my head canon they aren't, and the present androids are equally evil.

So Androids are way less than 50% against Gohan right? Because if they’re like 40%, Gohan himself is ~50% of 17, and that is Piccolo’s placement
