Well I mean. Wasn't it originally that Saiyans were generally pretty weak except for outliers like Vegeta?

You'd have to actually survive to get a Zenkai after all. And it wasn't until the entire race was dead that Super Saiyans started popping up like weeds.

Nah, Saiyans are known as a Warrior Race and are, by universal level, pretty strong. The issue is that we constantly see mutants that do not fit with their race (the Ginyu Force, Freeza), scientific miracles (the Androids) and immortals and deities (Buu, Beerus) that make it seem otherwise, but by all means the Saiyans were a big deal by U7 standards, hence why they were able to commit genocide so easily.

Right now though the living Saiyans are so far beyond anything the dead could achieve that there's just no real comparison, considering the strongest dead Saiyan was Yamoshi who became a Super Saiyan God but couldn't keep the power unlike Goku, so he'd be above Goten and Trunks and that's it.

Yeah the reason Goku got so strong was because he could literally wish himself back to life. Remember that Vegeta, the strongest Saiyan alive at the time, had Cui as a rival before he met Goku.

I THINK Ginyu was stronger still.

But regardless, Vegeta felt like he should never have to rely on the monkey form. The fact that he did have to, against a low class retch, was a huge stab to his pride

Oozaru is a 10 times multiplier and Vegeta was at like 22k. Ginyu was like 90k.

Probably not. Roshi, the Crane hermit, King Piccolo, Kami and Korrin are all stronger than him before he did all that adventuring and training and one of them would have put him down long before he became a threat.

Then Raditz kills everyone the end.

That first number doesn't seem right since Goku needed to go past Kaioken times two and was already over 9000.

But I think yea I misremembered Ginyus.

goku's at 8000 when he fights vegeta. watch kai or read the manga; the original anime was mistranslated. kaioken x2 was weaker than vegeta and x3 was stronger so it adds up

I always liked that detail. It told you a lot about why Vegeta was as proud and confident as he was, because to the best of his knowledge he could take on everyone but Frieza 1-on-1 before his tail got cut off. And yet, it’s a really obvious trick once he does it, so he’d rather kick rear end in his regular form.

Momomo

I can't imagine other people don't know about the tail thing, considering there used to be an entire planet of Saiyans that did this sort of thing and they were still considered weak. If Yajirobe can cut off a tail then I have no problem thinking it would be trivial for someone like Captain Ginyu.

No one that fought them even lived long enough to try maybe. It took like 5 people to cut one tail off imagine an army of apes against Goku & crew.

Power level math is silly, Zarbon and Dodoria could've beaten up big ape Vegeta because they were introduced later, that's how punchman science works.

Nappa mentions that Vegeta and he usually just plant some Saibamen and take a nap to handle most planetary invasions. That means Saibamen are an extinction event for the majority of the universe.

So I imagine most races don't have the mild super powers to do poo poo like make destructo discs or even jump high enough to cut the tail.

Of course this would never work in GT where every alien in the Universe is stronger than Buu.

Goku never says that Rilldo is stronger than Buu, he says that Rilldo is the first worthy opponent since Buu.

Not immediately after he stuns or incapacitates his enemy with Solar Flare.

Just as Guldo would likely never use it when he time froze someone.

Power levels aren't completely pointless as some people make out, but number crunching is silly poo poo for forums who unironically quantify 'feats' to determine if SSJ Goku could beat Silver Age Superman. Like seriously I cannot think of a way to suck the life more out of an action adventure show than to boil down the fighters' abilities to a loving number

Krillin literally has a Super Mecha setup/finisher combo which he literally never uses as such, if he were ever playing to win he should have been able to beat everyone from Nappa through to Frieza. Dude desevres every kick to the head he gets
