[up][up] Yeah, that battle power of 2,000? That comes from this thing, and the power levels get much weirder than that. Guru being at 2,000 at nothing, Dende is given a battle power of 10,000.

Dende at what point?

And I'm wondering if "battle" power isn't a misnomer in his case. He's got plenty of Ki (or equivalent), but appears use it strictly for healing, rather than energy blasts. And he is damn good at healing...

I have a message from another time...

Namek arc, it's not specified if it's prior to his potential being unlocked or after. Presumably after, since before his ki was so small it was mistaken for a giant fish.

More Ki simply means more strength, and nowhere is it said that Dende has a lot of ki. He's said to have really tiny ki before he was unlocked and nobody commented on a difference after it. Healing doesn't require someone to have large reserves of ki, Kibito has ki comparable to base Gohan and yet can restore his Super Saiyan 2 energy (a 100x difference) or heal Kaioshin's wounds completely (who is stronger than Piccolo, much stronger than base Gohan).

10,000 for Dende is a serious overestimation.

that list is hardly accurate in other areas anyway

Yeah, I only picked out Dende because Guru was already mentioned.

The list has far more suspect ones than that. Saiyan arc Vegeta being at 7,500 (weaker than the Goku he was beating up, and contradicting the 18,000 he was given in the manga), the Super Saiyan multiplier going from 50x to 2.5x between books, Kuririn being said to be able to beat Superman with his pinky, the list goes on.

The 50 and 2.5 is cause of the Kaio-Ken throwing the numbers off, right? Its 50 times base power, and the Kaio-Ken artificially boosted Goku's power by 20, meaning it only afforded him X2.5 the power he was already at.

No. It only appears in the 3rd book, where Goku doesn't use the Kaio-ken, and is a 2.5x boost for Trunks as well. It's just straight up wrong.

They also reuploaded the preview of the next episode, so it'll probably come out in a week or two.

wild mass guessAndroid 17 will really be affectionate toward Krillin but sometimes that affection is painful.

But sometimes Krillin likes it.

And now that makes me think "What're they going to do with Android 16?" They already used the most obvious joke about him on Android 19.

I am ninety-five percent sure that Android 16 will be a Mitt Romney impression.

But Mitt Romney isn't a robot...

Eighty-seven percent.

Sorry, that wasn't a response to you. I was using certain text edits to simulate 19's style of speech in my last two posts, but you may be unable to read it.

It should be more readable now.

Again, not a response to your post. Just a joke about 19 being wrong about everything. There wasn't any intended connection.
