I think my favorite thing is that Hercule legitimately won the World Tournament while everyone else was either dead or on Namek. Or in the hospital. Or retired.

Yeah, but it's still a bit sad when you consider that Mater Roshi of all people could still kick his ass.

...Anyone ever think that Mr. Satan is really Pamput from Dragon Ball under a different identiy? P.S. Totally not serious.

Sometimes life just sucks. You have to learn to take the good with the bad. Why should you expect anything different in the mediums?

Master Roshi still knows about ki. Hercule is/was legitimately the strongest martial artist who doesn't come from a Ki-using discipline, it seems.

So his power level is like 10, then?

Delicious spam.

DBZ: you can statistically prove how much more powerful God is than Satan, but at the end of it all the planet will still raise their hands to praise Satan.

The moral of DBZ:

Sometimes, if you want to live, everyone needs to hail Satan.

[up][up][up]Bulma is around 16 in power so I would give him a 30.

Where the hell did you get that from? That's really implausible, it makes her 3 times stronger than the farmer at the beginning of the Saiyan arc and stronger than what guides say Goku was at the beginning of Dragon Ball.

Edit: Oh, it's from that RPG book that was already pointed out before as having completely wrong numbers. Well, no surprise there.

The farmer was kinda overweight.

Which shouldn't matter for ki and doesn't change that it'd also make her stronger than Goku.

[up][up]Yeah But I thought that would be close to Bullma's power level.

Still I do think he would be around 30 maybe a bit lower.

...How would it make her stronger than Goku? It's not even close to OVER 9000!

And scouters aren't just ki. Because sensing energy isn't a thing most aliens know how to do. Power level and ki seem to be separate but related things.

How do we know his power level at that point?

[up][up][up] Yes it is. They use scouters BECAUSE they can't sense ki, but they're exactly the same. "Battle powers" are a measurement of ki, which is why even ki sensors still use the term after scouters go out of style.

And Goku's power level of 10 comes from the Daizenshuu. Not the manga itself, but a more reliable source than an American RPG that contradicts the manga.

Also, start of series Goku was bullet proof and could lift and crush cars. Bulma isn't stronger than that.

I thought Farmer With Shotgun's power was higher than Raditz's?

There's usually a coronation involved in becoming King.

He's actually a big fan of His Royal Badness. That also explains the flamboyantly colored shirt.

There's also usually a population to for a king to rule. Being the Prince of All Saiyans allows Vegeta to focus on how great and noble his birthright is. Being the King of All Saiyans just puts the spotlight on, "Congratulations, all of your subjects are dead, have fun ruling over a desolate graveyard."

...actually, given the nature of the genocide, Vegeta doesn't even get a graveyard. All hail King Vegeta, lord of a random sampling of space dust.

He doesn't have a graveyard, he has Goku to rule over.

Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Pan would also count, wouldn't they?

He was also still a prince when Raditz and Nappa were alive too.
