Wow, it's good to know humans have some value in the universe. Sure, we're not the smartest, the most ethical, the strongest, the most spiritual, the most advanced or the most united, but damned if we can't make a good burrito.

If you take Bulma, Gero, and Dr. Briefs into account, we probably would also count as the smartest.

Nah, come to think of it, not going to take this seriously. That entry is just silly and I'm going to leave it at that.

I'm still convinced that the distant finale has been jettisoned from canon at this point.

I get the same feeling. Like, how could Uub, even fully realizing his potential, possibly be a challenge for Goku now?

Plus even in the original Oob only gave base Goku a fight.

Now Goku has powers that are way beyond Boo's.

Wasn't it not much of a fight even then?

Once he got angry, blocking Oob's kick made Goku's arm hurt, and he was knocked back by a kiai.

It wasn't really a fight, just a small showcase of Oob's potential.

Though, doesn't this mean Uub did that to post-divine ki Goku?

@Arha

Your list is actually wrong.

A human is the smartest person in the universe, smart enough to actually break the laws of the universe and become capable of time travel without consent or help from the Supreme Kai of Time.

Also another human created a being more powerful than almost every God in the universe. After achieving his final form and before Gohan and Goku went into the Hydrophobic Train Clanker, Cell was literally the fourth strongest being in the universe, behind Majin Buu (who was sealed), Beerus and Whis. He was literally only behind an eldritch abomination, the God of Destruction and his teacher.

Technically, in the Dragon Ball universe, Humanity is special. If Doctor Gero used current Goku's cells to make Cell, it's entirely likely that Cell would be an artificial God that is more powerful than the real Gods.

Humans WERE at the top for the short times that Taopaipai and Roshi was the strongest characters in the series.

Thanks to all his alien DNA

[up] No, they were just the strongest characters we'd seen. That doesn't mean much, by that logic Goku was the strongest character in the series in chapter 1.

I'm reffering to the times when Humans were the strongest characters so far introduced in the manga out-of-universe.

Arha Since: Jan, 2010
#33496: Jan 30th 2016 at 7:04:13 PM

Yes, and for a time a white cat with a stick was the strongest character in the series and remained so until Piccolo Daimao. I don't see what you're getting at here.

Actually I just realized. If that actually was supposed to be divine ki base Goku or whatever he's called, and he confirmed Uub was as strong as he thought he would be, that actually does give us a pretty solid placement for where divine ki Goku is without SSG or SSGSS. He's slightly weaker than Pure Buu, who is as strong as SS-3 Goku in the Buu arc.

That makes some sense considering in one Super episode, Beerus almost killed base Goku by sneezing, and Whis said that base Goku's power was like a three-meter tall tree in comparison to Beerus's 100-meter tall temple. Finally it explains why a half-dead Golden Freeza who couldn't do jack to SSGSS Goku still scoffed at the idea that base Vegeta could have a chance against hi.

Do remember that base Goku was beating (true-form, non-Golden) Freeza. It seems the vast majority of Freeza's power came from GOLDEN MODE, not just training to get stronger.

So watching Kai on Toonami right now...Ressurection F is literally a retelling of the start of the Android Saga, only with Trunks not around to intercept Freeza.
