Devil-man is the only one I'd give that too. We don't know much about the other Budokai winners (Roshi did destroy the moon. He could easily be stronger than them).

He's up there though, but it's clear he dropped down once Goku beat Tao and solo'ed the Red Ribbon army.

Sort of like running up a down escalator. He got stronger since the 21st Tournament and is probably stronger than Tao by the 22nd but he's still lagging behind Goku and Tien and then it just gets worse and wore from there.

How long was Buu trapped again? Since before Dragon Ball non? All that time, he was the strongest on Earth. tongue

Or am I misremembering. Wasn't Buu sealed on Earth or did Babidi bring him with?

For Roshi to be stronger than nowadays Tien he would have crushed all the previous tournaments. Like seriously GT had better power scaling. Tbh I only watched DB years later than DBZ. I got no love nor tolerance whatsoever for his antics and sudden power boost

Both are so ass backwards and inconsistent it's hard to say who had better scaling.

Whack power scaling in GT only applied to 3 to 4 characters, so it is better.

I reiterate what I said back when the episode first aired: I choose to believe that Roshi actually was talking about Yurin's evil intentions and watchcraft, and he was about to do some magic to purify her body of that. He just came off as super lecherous and creepy because he is incapable of approaching an attractive woman any other way.

Probably. His last real intimate contact with a woman must've been decades, if not a century, ago. Aside from those hookers Bulma ordered him a few episodes back.

Well, Episode's out.

Ultimate Gohan seems to be on par with Super Saiyan 2 Goku... though I feel I should remind folks that this is Goku after obtaining God power and training his base form with Whis a bunch, so that's probably much higher than it sounds. He did manage to get at least one blow on Super Saiyan Blue Goku.

Goku's decided to put Gohan in charge of overall strategy and command. Actually not a bad choice, I think. Now whether or not Vegeta will accept being under Gohan's command...

Next episode seems to be Team Universe 7's big pre-tournament strategy meeting... and of course that one development everyone here is already well aware of.

And over in Universe 10, their fighters are a bunch of muscle heads. Gowasu isn't so sure of this.

What he should do is finally get those shades from GT...

Then women might think he's cool...

Technically it would have only been twice now; he got kicked out of the last tournament because he failed a written exam, not because he fell asleep.

No, this thing happening now is the second time the falling asleep joke would have been used; the first was ironically also the Resurrection F part of the series.

Just wanted to say something about Roshi, the old man can be pretty perceptive.

In 18's match with Goten & Trunks, he was the only to suspect & realize the two kids were in disguise.

I'd say that anyone who could sense ki would be able to notice that, but he was the only person there who could sense ki.

Yamcha was also there. Make your jokes if you will, but I don't think that he figured it out by sensing their ki.

You know what would be an Author's Saving Throw? For Buu to wake up after getting Frieza, and Beerus forces them to get rid of their weakest prior member, Master Roshi, to leave. Fingers crossed
