Piccolo wasn't so much trapped in hell as he was basically a policeman there. One thing that bothers me though is that Cell is still there, and should be able to wipe the floor with Piccolo.

He fused with Daddy,then used Namekian Fusion on Cell.However,Cell took him over,destroyed Hell,and killed everything in that dimension.Now he's headed for Universe 4,to absorb that Universe's Cell and Piccolo.

Original plot,donut steal.Definetely not next movie plot.

Kamiccolo and Imperfect Cell seemed pretty close. I don't think Piccolo becoming stronger than Cell is too unbelievable.

But Perfect Cell is leagues stronger than Piccolo and that one should be Super Perfect Cell.

After some ROSAT training Piccolo was a lot stronger than he was against Imperfect Cell, but not strong enough for Perfect Cell. Assuming he hasn't been slacking off like Gohan, he's had 7 years followed by 10 more years to get stronger.

In Revioval Of F Piccolo gets beaten by someone on the level of Zarbon and Dodoria.

I'm gonna say that he was to Zarbon or Dodoria as current Freeza is to Freeza circa Namek.

Otherwise that scene makes my head explode.

I have a message from another time...

At the World Martial Arts Tournament in the Buu Saga, Piccolo is still weaker than Gohan, who is in turn much weaker than he was during the Cell Saga, meaning that Piccolo during the Buu saga is still much, much weaker than Cell.

And I doubt he bridged such a ridiculously huge gap in the intervening 10 years between canon and GT considering that he has no reason to.

Piccolo knows he's outclassed so saw no point in fighting. There :V

Piccolo was also scared of Supreme Kai, who was scared of Dabura, who's (allegedly) as strong as Cell.

Though as I've touched on before I don't really buy Dabura being as strong as Cell but oh well.

I like to think that Piccolo didn't want to fight Supreme Kai not because of power but because the Kami part of him was reluctant to punch his boss in the face.

Could be both, though I was under the impression he was stronger than Piccolo.

Though considering how worthless he is, I'd understand if there's a debate over it.

GT Cell was much stronger from training in hell, but GT Piccolo is also much stronger than he was in Z because GT just kind of buffed everyone.

However, Rild should be there, and he's even stronger than base Gohan who is stronger than Piccolo.

Speaking of artificial beings in the afterlife... how is #8 still alive after the Genocide Beam? I thought synthetic life couldn't be wished back with the Dragon Balls, otherwise #16 would've come back when Cell's victims were revived, right?

General "Stronger than Majin Buu" Rilldo would be a problem, yeah.

Seriously, how does some random guy on some hick metal planet become that strong? Frieza was the strongest person in the universe, and everyone stronger than him was either a god or had some sort of excuse like fulfilling an ancient alien prophecy, getting powered up by a god, cutting-edge technology, or being a primordial being of destruction.

Retainer of a god, then.

I do think it's kinda funny that Beerus's retainer is just this unbelievably badass entity above anyone else in the series.

So this question is probably stupid, but are the Saiyans an artificial race or something? Literally everything about them seems totally perfect for a race of warriors. I could believe the PTO created them, perhaps, as perfect supersoldiers.

Umm... Not to our knowledge.

Or at least, not to my knowledge and I haven't heard anything even remotely hinting to that.

I ask because they seem pretty similar to "genetically engineered supersoldier" races in other works I've encountered. there isn't much in the story that suggests this, though.

You know, now that you mention it, isn't Cell THE genetically engineered supersoldier?
