It's been made painfully obvious that, one way or another, the Saiyan near-death power-ups stopped being a thing after the Freeza arc ended, with the singular exception of Cell's botched suicide-bombing attempt. Heck, even the databooks even acknowledge their lack of relevance going forward:The manga version of DBS even has Trunks say that Goku and Vegeta can't power up that way anymore because they've already hit their limits. In-Universe, Saiyan healing boosts probably beget diminishing returns after a certain point, just like anything other power-increasing method. Out-of-universe, Toriyama probably wanted to do away with the near-death power up mechanic because of how unbalanced it was. It was a useful tool to get Goku and co. up to a level where they could compete with Freeza, but after that it could have serious problems in regards to the tension and the stakes of the narrative if any problem could be solved by: 1. Get the s*** kicked out of you. 2. Eat a Senzu or get healed by Dende. 3. Rinse and repeat until satisfied. 4. ??? 5. Profit! Edited by Dan The Commentator, May 21 2018, 09:45 PM.

Gohan was still implied to be half-dead when Frieza was through with him. |

He was fine and even fighting back right until Freeza started pressing his head into the ground. It's like being strangled....your ki would drop, but it doesn't mean you're badly damaged. |
