Hmm, that's an idea for a fanfic. How much stronger could that Perfect Cell be, I wonder?

I remember seeing a fanfic where Cell didn't mention the bug that scanned the fighters and it survived into the Buu saga. This Cell had some of Buu's make-up and was pink.

@Re: TFS making fun of Tien: There was that exchange about how he keeps antagonizing Vegeta despite being fully aware that the latter could kill him. Does that count?

Kuririn may have just killed a baby but that's still far more than what Ten did. He got the blueprints, fetched the remote around ('course he fucked that up by thinking with his dick). Hell, the first time he handed Ten a senzu bean, he'd done far more than Ten would do for the rest of the arc.

[up] It was pretty much the opposite of that, saying that the fact that Vegeta can kill Ten just makes Ten better.

Which is doesn't and it makes no sense, but whatever.

I hope they take Tien's smugness to set him up for a Break the Haughty moment when he realizes that working himself to death only served to be a temporary speedbump, while he sees that Piccolo and Krillin were both stronger and/or smarter than him in how they treated situations throughout the arc.

You're sounding kind of bitter there.

That was the reverse logic of Tien pretty much being a troll.

There's a trope for that.

The entire "irony" of Tien's game with Vegeta is that even though Vegeta could easily kill Tien, he won't do it because he'd be admitting that Tien wounded his pride.

Tien's power level never got passed 2,000? That sounds very odd. And I'm not sure if in the DB Abridged universe Krillin is stronger than Tien because everyone acts like the opposite is true.

That joke about Gero preferring to fight Krillin instead of Tien, and Tien being more than willing, when the opposite obviously should have been the case sort of sealed that for me.

To be honest, the relative powers of Ten, Yamcha and Krillin can be said to be functionally consistent with each other when Z kicks in. And, after all, being on Kaio's planet had to account from something, otherwise, Piccolo going from being curbstomped by Nappa to fighting evenly with second form Freeza (a 250x increase in power) just by merging with utterly destroyed, at best comparable to Recoome/Burter/Jheece Nail, makes any attempt at trying to have any meaningful discussion bullshit, to quote Vegeta.

In any case, a Krillin vs. Tien fight to the death would be entertaining to see, seeing both of them are very crafty fighters with what pretty much accounts for insta-kill moves at their disposal against a fellow human. Also the whole Turtle School and Crane School stuff that comes back in the expanded canon.

Still, there is no statement that says "Ten's power stayed the same as when Vegeta came to Earth, Krillin is far stronger". They are weaker than the Saiyans and Piccolo, and Krillin is a main character. Other than that? Never saw that get adressed. But it would be neat if they developed something around that now that what happens after Goku leaves with Uub is getting the spotlight. And not Krillin as a fucking policeman with a ridiculous vehicle.

Toriyama: I understand. Krillin is no longer a policeman. He gets a Hot dog cart! And Tien gets a pretzel cart. ....What's Super Saiyan 3, again? Oh, almost forgot! Frieza was a girl.

Tien and Krillin are as Strong as They Need to Be for the plot.

Or as weak, too.

And that's why they only need water and sun!

edit:

Hey, does New Namek also sit at the centerpoint of a ternary star? Or did the surviving Namekians get totally freaked out by the concept of a night cycle?

Did Dende get freaked out by the concept of a night cycle when he took over as guardian?

I get that, it just doesn't work at all.

Anyway, KBSL, nobody said Ten stayed at that level. It just showed the immense gap that was there the last time their powers were recorded, and there's no real reason to think Ten is going to close that gap and overtake him because he doesn't do anything to show that.

Because I don't use dub names.

[up][up] Because Vegeta really wouldn't give a shit. He'd kill him, people would be like "oh you need to do something about that" and Goku would tell them off for being mean to Vegeta just because he killed someone.
