I liked to believe that Android 20 was significantly more powerful than 19, but he made the mistake of absorbing Yamcha's energy in South City. Yamcha's negative battle power substantially decreased 20's strength, making it possible for Piccolo to make short work of him.

Tight takes a break from writing to visit Bulma and give her congrats. Then Bulma, telling Tights the effects of having a Super Saiyan pregnancy, devise a plan to prank Vegeta. Bulma goes SSJ and both her and Tights wear the same outfit.
Vegeta is confused and angry.

Wast that something he said in both versions? I thought it was just a dub thing.
Also, (Not)Super Saiyan Chi-Chi, Bulma and Videl will defeat the final villain of Super with a combined Kamehameha.
Well, it's nice to dream.

Here's
a translation of the big character guide from Daizenshuu 7.
(x2) I remember that scene, but that's English dubbed Dragonball from back in the 90's, I've always taken it with a grain of salt.
Oh, so that's it. Thank you, but hold on.
You're sure that this is the best translation available? "He is somewhat inferior" is a vague statement, and doesn't that conflict with calling someone the "head of the strongest family?" I thought this was a power level list. I'm told the Wiki isn't trustworthy, I don't have much reason to trust this site either.
I don't get why Frieza would let Cold be King Cold in that event. That's the only genuine respect I think he's ever shown. But then in ROF he objects to reviving his dad, perhaps for that reason - Cold being King actually bothered him, deep down.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!There was an unclear comment Toriyama made that has some speculating that Cold, like the Namekians, may have been a Truly Single Parent.
Pretty sure his reasoning in Revival Of F was that he did not want to take orders from his father anymore. That implies either greater strength or some level of respect son has for father.
For some reason, fans have problems buying either. Apparently nothing prior to the androids can be stronger than Freeza unless its a super saiyan and Freeza can't have any redeeming qualities.(because Moral Myopia doesn't exist)
Buldogue's lawyerI don't think Frieza's characterization up until that point allowed for "loving family" to be on the list of his redeeming qualities.
And it's not that nothing can be stronger than him... wait, actually, yeah it's that, it's that something is weaker than him but not subservient to him. Absence of evidence, fair enough - it just slapped me across the face when someone told me Cold was actually weaker. Why is Cold still alive? Because Frieza actually likes his dad and doesn't view everyone else as pawns. Could've fooled me.
I'd say that concept would be more plausible with better establishment, but that's just preaching to the choir.
I think so, yes, but immediately after, Sorbet says they could gather the balls again and revive Cold, and Frieza refuses, saying Cold's not worth the trouble, blahbity blah. I laughed at how their attempts at being Genre Savvy were shot down.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!King Cold's acknowledgement that Trunks is now the strongest in the universe after defeating Frieza is also in the manga, not just the anime or dub.

My problem with it is that....
Well look at what Saiga was just talking about, with heroes dumping on him at every opportunity. Why? What purpose does it serve beyond piling a load of crap on someone who just keeps getting buried in crap?
Yamcha is the dead horse no one wants to stop kicking. I mean, this guy lost his girlfriend to the man who killed him and when his voice actor asked Toriyama why, all he got was What are you talking about? Yamcha cheated! Cause that suddenly became a thing that Yamcha does.
His own creator had no respect for him(or do you guys think he'd pull that shit with Krillin and 18? What else can we really say?
There's no point.
