So it just dawned on me.

Goku let Satan fight because he's assuming Satan is really powerful.

Why? Because look at the last few champions before Satan, one of which is Goku himself.

Him, Tenshihan and Jackie Chun were some of the strongest guys on the planet. So he's associating fighting strength with being the Champion.

Of course, he's also being Goku, but still.

He outright says, "That means he's stronger than Krillin!"

So I'm just Late to the Party then?

I guess that makes sense.

I wouldn't say so much "Late to the Party" as "By the time you got there, the party had been over for three days."

I have a TARDIS laying around if you want to go back to the party, Rob. I can't guarantee it works all that well but you're welcome to use it.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

I'm actually curious; is Mr. Satan at his best strong enough to beat really early Krillin or Goku? Or even win the 21st or 22nd World Tournament?

Pfffff. Interesting question.

I'd say probably not. Satan can do stuff like crush stone and all that jazz, but that is something within real-life human limits. Goku started out doing some superhuman stuff, and only went up from there.

I'm honestly amazed that after all of these years no one has made a What If of Hercule getting sent back in time to the Dragon Ball era and having to fight everyone from Pilaf up to King Piccolo, establishing himself a little the Savior of Earth in the process.

IIRC, he's top-tier strong for a non-ki enhanced human, right? Like, the strongest of all non-super humans.

Maybe? Though Videl was much stronger than him even before learning how to use ki.

I think Satan might be able to put up something resembling a fight against Beginning of Series Yamcha or Krillin, but he wouldn't win.

Goku's first feat ever was tanking a bullet between the eyes.

By the time of the Buu Saga, Mr. Satan is still not capable of pulling that off.

I mean, that was less to do with Goku being strong, and more to do with the natural durability all Saiyans possess. If Goku actually was fully human, that bullet would have killed him.

Goku's durability is one of the aspects that makes up his strength. That it's a racial feature doesn't change that.

Except, Goku only had a power level of 10 at the beginning of the series. That means he was at least twice as strong...as a fat middle-age farmer with a rifle.

Yes. And despite that, he was capable of tanking a bullet between his eyes, crushing boulders twice his height by squeezing them really hard, killing a giant wolf bandit in a single punch, firing the Kamehameha after seeing it once, and dodging Lunch's bullets at point-blank range.

On his first day of training under Kame-sennin, the old master challenged him and Krillin with a large boulder that they would have to move in order to move onto the next day of training. Goku immediately moved it and managed to push it farther than his own mentor had, forcing Kame-sennin to choose a much larger rock to use as their arbitrary test.

And he did all that with a battle power of 10. Mr. Satan, on the other hand, has never been scanned for battle power so we have no idea what his is - making Goku's precise numerical battle power irrelevant.
