Cell mentions that Trunks was pretty strong as a Grade III, and could have beaten him maybe if not for how slow it was.

Maybe if he was 3 meters tall like Broly the extra muscles wouldn't slow him down. tongue

Trunks' power level eclipsed Cell's as a SSJG 3, but he was too slow to get a hit in. That means Grade 3 would've had to have a boost greater than 100x since Trunks is weaker than Gohan.

I sometimes wonder

since Cell had like two 'aha, this is my full power' moments after his fight with Trunks. And thats before he decided to try his own muscular transformation

kinda makes me think he was just trolling Trunks to begin with (not that he needed to, Trunks didnt hit Cell once)

The power Cell showed against Trunks was nowhere near his full power, which hadn't been seen until the Cell Games.

Cell was just talking about the current level of power he had been using.

Something I've been wondering for awhile; did Trunks actually surpass Vegeta in his bulky form and Vegeta just knew better not to go there or could Vegeta bulk up like that too and Trunks really wasn't stronger than him, on top of Vegeta being smarter? I've been assuming the latter but I'm not totally sure.

I've always assumed Vegeta could do the whole super bulky thing too but was smart enough to know the trade off in speed wasn't worth it.

Hell I'd even go as far as to say Vegeta could probably go Super Saiyan 3 but doesn't because he thinks the massive energy drain isn't worth the relatively minor power jump over Super Saiyan 2.

I assumed the former, but really doubt [up]that.

Then again, why would he even let Trunks do a form that wasteful?

[up][up][up]Vegeta, like Goku, immediately saw the weaknesses in the form and didn't bother with it. Trunks being inexperienced made him use it.

[up]Vegeta and Trunks trained separately. Goku and Gohan actually training together is why their gains were so much better.

Eh, I could see Vegeta figuring out Super Saiyan 3 eventually but that depends on how much time he has. Are we talking during Battle of Gods?

There's this point in Battle of the Gods where Vegeta flips out and Beerus, I think, says that in that moment he was stronger than Goku. Pretty sure Goku even says the same thing later. This, despite the fact that Vegeta was clearly NOT a super Saiyan 3, even though that would have been the perfect time for him to unlock SS3.

I'm still hoping for Tsundere Broly.

It'd be funny if they did base form Broly as a parody of Mark Ruffalo, Edward Norton or Bill Bixby.

Oh that'd be pretty hilarious.

I wonder how Tien is going to accept the fact that he truly is completely and utterly useless.

Eh, Yamcha and Krillin have adjusted by more or less giving in. He can adjust by going off on his own to not have to be reminded of all those who so effortlessly and completely surpass him.

[up]x3 You're assuming that he's going to have to. It seems more likely that stopping Cell for an episode is going to boost his rep than destroy it.

What are the differences between the three Hulks?

Given that he shows up against Boo I'm guessing he's never going to learn.

Trunks' power level eclipsed Cell's as a SSJG3

Ah yes, who could forget that classic moment in Dragonball Z: Revival of C, when Trunks managed to turn the tables by unlocking Super Saiyan God 3.
