I doubt Second Form Cell was 4 or 5 times stronger then his first form. So no I think various uses of the Kaioken on Piccolo would let him beat that too.

Piccolo's year of training in the time Chamber was apparently also a massive boost according to Goku though not on Cells level.

Goku was popping off KKx20 and KKx50 on Namek at will, according to source books. If Piccolo could do the same, I don't think any of Cell's pre-Super Perfect forms would have held up.

When did he do x50? I feel like I remember him saying that the one burst he hit Freeza with that was actually big enough to hurt him a little bit was just a x20, and that was the best shot he had in him before the Spirit Bomb and Super Saiyan.

Piccolo could've pulled Kaioken x1,000 and he still would've lost because Toriyama needed him to lose to show off Imperfect Cell's new strength.

Goku was going up against Frieza and losing slowly and someone on King Kai's planet was like "well he isn't using the Kaioken yet, right?" and King Kai was like "actually he's been using it time ten all this time."

He did it times twenty that one time he put a big ding on Frieza.

However, I think Super Saiyan is supposed to be a x50 multiplier on your power level, so that's probably where that figure was coming from.

he does say that in kai. idk if it's the same in the manga off the top of my head or if the original dub was different (kai has vegeta say goku's power level is above 8000 instead of 9000, for example)

It would appear further research says I'm incorrect, and he was using KKx10 and KKx20 against Frieza. My bad, sorry.

The only multipliers the Kaio-ken has ever shown are x2 (base), x3 (against Vegeta), x4 (Galick Gun/Kamehameha clash), x10 (most of Namek, vs Hit, vs Jiren), x20 (one Kamehameha against Freeza, vs Jiren) and x100 (Lord Slug). x50 was never used.

I feel like the worst thing about this tournament is that basically anybody who isn't u7 seems like all they've been doing the whole time is just standing around with their thumbs up their asses [and a fair chunk of the u7 team,] like all the other universes combined have about half the wins of u7. Like maybe Dr. Rota could've beat some mooks off-screen from u3 or u11 or whatever, but nope.

Well at a certain point it becomes clear you have to go after U7 or you're just delaying the inevitable.

We long since passed the period where anyone else other than Horror Show universe, U6 and U11 were not going to be the key players in the field and any other universe was going to last so long as they had a role to fill or had an actual character that they wanted to use. Ribrianne's probably the sole reason U2 is still around, I have no idea if they'll ever let U3 combine into a giant robot for Big Piccolo to Kaiju fight (probably not) and gently caress Universe 4 for being so goddamn boring! I was promised scheming rat hijinks and that fucker got chumped by Frieza actually playing the field and betraying other teams!

Freeza wins the wish and...wins everyone back. But in one universe.

Then they resurrect him as per their agreement, wait for him to immediately start poo poo and...he just leaves.

Because he now has several universes worth of galaxies to conquer all over again, and he wants to get back to the basics. No more monkies, no more super sandwiches. Just genocide and tyranny on the other side of the universe.

Good End.

I'm just worried Frieza is going to try something really loving stupid and over his head, like trying to attack the Grand Priest, or Zeno. I dunno why, it's just a feeling that's nagging at me.

It's because the idea of Freeza allowing himself to be second to anyone is so against his character

That was my biggest problem with RoF- Freeza didn't even consider doing something to Beerus

Beerus being present in RoF was a sudden, nasty surprise to Freeza; he discovered that Beerus was watching while in the middle of punching Goku and at that point he was primarily interested in Beerus not intervening. He still had a lot of Saiyan rear end to kick before thinking about doing anything to Beerus would even approach the table.

But this arc seems to be about each of the universe 7 characters overcoming their deepest flaws. Roshi overcomes his perversion and uses it to power up, Goku is always letting his guard down so he gets Ultra Instinct, Gohan put away his jogging outfit, etc. For Freeza that's his arrogance and impatience.

He has been killed three times now because of his arrogance and impatience, but his time in hell has made him reflect on his errors and become a better villain. Freeza is not going to do something rash like Frost.

People were talking about how Vegeta and Frieza were the ones cleaning house, but looking at the chart...

there's only one other universe that has as high a total as Roshi racked up solo.

Say what you will about upper management, when Universe 7 needs psychotic punchman fight monsters, they get 'em.
