[up][up]Eh. We can work with that.

Cooler wasn't really stronger than Frieza. He was close, but not quite, and his belief he was better was simply more of the Suicidal Overconfidence that got both his Father and brother killed.

[up] Oooh! I like that. Since it'd never happen in the series, I think it could have worked too.

I could be worse. They could've ended it with a Spirit Bomb.

From what Online seems to imply, Saiyan genetics are damn strong and can show up in almost anyone, as long as they have one Saiyan ancestor.

I mean, the hybrid's powers are so convenient it makes you wonder if breeding with humans is probably beneficial for the survival of the species.

Also, an idea: after the ritual, Videl can turn Super Saiyan at will. At least while she's still pregnant. Now THAT would be awesome.

[up][up][up][up] you're right, those probably would be uninspired enough to work.

Fighting while pregnant is probably not a good idea.

Being able to fight is basically why we evolved pregnancy to begin with.

Egg-laying parents in the animal kingdom have to constantly tend to an egg and, if they don't have a partner to support them, they usually go without food while waiting for it to hatch.

50x is still way too small to matter for her. A Saibaiman would stomp her.

I don't think so. Videl is stronger than the average human and, assuming she gets the full 50x boost, she would only need a Power Level of 24 to match a Saibaman.

Dammit [nja]s everywhere.

Chichi was 130 during the 23rd Tournament, and like I said she's probably stronger now since she spars with her son. I can't see Videl being that far below her.

Gohan says she's stronger than her dad, and, given Hercule pulls two lines of buses, I'd put his power level at about 200. Maybe 250.

He doesn't know a damn thing about ki control, but he's strong and can take a hit from Cell or Buu without turning into paste.

...If we buy her becoming a Great Saiyaman, she probably trained with Gohan a little.

Gohan, if Future Trunks, Goten and Videl herself are any indication, is seemingly a pretty good teacher.

She has nothing to put her above beginning of DB Goku.

She can fly.

Goku had a battle power of 10 at the beginning of the series and could throw lift a car over his head, smash large logs into small pieces, and beat up a giantic bear-man. Without ki control.

Videl can beat up human thugs. Also Satan's bus pulling is based on real life strongman feats, also filler. He also failed to break 15 tiles with a karate chop.

Yeah. Gonna have to disagree with you on this one Saiga.

You may be selling Videl way to short here.

Edit: You are really selling her short.

Also, lets remember that man was magically enhanced to be superhuman himself, and still got his head turned clean around. He didn't survive because her kick was weak.

The power levels of humans got WEIRD once DBZ started. It went from "everyone is weaker than DB cast" to "everyone is probably as strong as the old DB cast, but we're at DBZ power levels now, so they're still useless".

At least in terms of Videl and Mr. Satan.

Flying has never been linked to battle power, only skill.

Breaking Spopo's neck has nothing on Goku's feats (and is possible for a RL human to do). We don't even know how strong Spopovich is!

He also failed to break 15 tiles with a karate chop.

...As someone who has actually taken martial arts breaking things is, quite often, more about technique and mental state than it is about "strength".

It's about how you chop, whether or not you follow through, or whether you hesitate, and hold back a little out of fear of pain.

Breaking Spopo's neck has nothing on Goku's feats (and is possible for a RL human to do).

...Not to turn like that, no.

I don't buy beginning of series Goku as a 10 as that would mean that Grandpa Gohan would have to be far below 100 in order to die from him as an Oozaru. I put Goku at 30 around that time. I also put Videl at around 60.

Honestly, I think they were trying to imply Videl and Mr. Satan WERE stronger than the cast during Dragon Ball. But because Toriyama was trying to take a more realistic approach to the world, he dialled down on all the crazy feats the DB cast employed like being bulletproof, lifting cars, blowing up the moon, ect.
