Android arc fighters (Power-wise; 19, 20, Piccolo)

So, this popped up a few times in discussion with Miles, so I figured I'd make a topic about it.

So, when Vegeta fights Android 19 (after 19 had absorbed the Kame wave and a teeny bit of Sick Goku's chi while Goku's in base), he comments that, upon watching 19's movements, the 'droid wasn't much to speak of (his words being something along the lines of "it looks like you guys weren't as bad as the rumors made out.") He's able to confirm his claim when 19 punches him, budging him slightly. But what's this line mean?

All we got from Trunks 3 years prior was the androids beat the snot out of him. If 19 isn't as bad as the rumors made out, what would this imply? That 19 can't beat the snot out of Trunks? Seems to be the most likely case here, as there aren't really any other "rumors" to go off of. However, since the rumors weren't said to flat-out false (19 is merely said to be "not as bad"), we can safely say he's still superior to Trunks from 3 years ago, but not by a wide margin. Dare I say it, but this leaves the possibility of 19 post-absorptions to be slightly inferior even to post-Yardrat Goku, and this Goku gave Trunks "a little hope" in the task that lay ahead...one can argue that if 19 ain't all that, he may not give Trunks the same hope.

If you're curious, here are the lines in question:

Quote:
 
Chapter: 335 (DBZ 141), P9.4
Trunks: “Knowing your strength, Goku, I have a little hope.”

Chapter 343 (DBZ 149), P7.4
Vegeta: “I’ve realized by watching your faint movements up to now…That you guys don’t seem as terrible as the rumors made out.”

Chapter 343 (DBZ 149), P13.6
Context: after No.19 punches Vegeta, to little effect
Vegeta: “I figured you were at about that level…”


So, we end up with the chains:

19 (post-Kame) > Trunks (killing Freeza)
Future 'droids >>> Trunks (killing Freeza)
Post-Yardrat Goku <=> 19 (post-Kame) (a possible chain, not solid)

Next, we have android 20, who garners...somewhat of a different reaction, in terms of power.

Quote:
 
Chapter: 347 (DBZ 153), P3.2-3
Piccolo: “It seems that in the original history, we were supposed to be wiped out by you two androids…But it looks like the future has changed somehow…Was it that you weren’t as strong as we thought?...Or have we grown too strong?...


This is rather interesting. With 19, it's simply "meh, you aren't too terrible." However, when 20 comes into the picture, another possibility arises - perhaps Gero is just another weakling, yeah? Or maybe it isn't that..maybe the Z Senshi have grown too powerful?

First off, this means that, unlike 19, there is a possibility that Gero does possess the power than the 'droids in the rumors were said to possess - he likely does have the capability to beat the snot out of Trunks from 3 years ago, whereas 19 does not. However, the advantage can't be too large, because Piccolo thinks the possibility of him being a scrub is still there. However, we can safely say that Trunks from 3 years ago isn't exactly going to rival Gero in power, like he might with 19.

20 post >>/>>> Trunks (killing Freeza)
20 post >/>> 19 post

Now, Piccolo's advantage over 20 post is definitely considerable, but nothing overly drastic, because if Piccolo was, say, 3 times stronger than Trunks (killing Freeza) or something, then Piccolo having gotten too powerful wouldn't be a possibility; it would more than likely be a given, not to mention that making Piccolo, like, 2x stronger than Gero is rather unnecessary and just an excuse to make powers really big, from my perspective.

Piccolo >>/>>> 20 post.

Numerically for you PL freaks, I'd display it like:

Whatchu guys think?

20 post would more than likely be superior to Yardrat Goku, yes. 19 post might be, but if he is, it'd be by a rather small margin, and even then it's a bit of a stretch in my opinion, but I wouldn't dispute it unless you end up with 19 post too far ahead of Trunks as a result.

Edited: ignore what i just asked

I like how it looks but i always had 19 before the absorption a bit above Yardrat Goku, is that a farfetched claim?

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

I really don't believe that Gero is as powerful as most people place him at. Gero didn't know anything about Super Saiyans when he designed 19, and had 19 make him into a cyborg. His understanding of power increases (for Saiyans) was linear, so I can't really see him making himself or 19 much above the equivalent of 30,000,000 or so (without ki absorbed).

Even though he took cells from Freeza to contribute to Cell's genome, was utterly surprised at the existence of Super Saiyans. 19 could only touch Goku because Goku was sick, and well below his full potential power as a Super Saiyan.

Goku in the androids arc? Nah, I'm saying he's stronger than Goku after his Yardrat training (the Goku who stopped Trunks' sword with a finger).

It might be, but again, if he ends up too far ahead of Trunks as a result, it wouldn't work.

Quick question Kyouka if 19 absorbed that much power and Vegeta one shots him with a Big Bang wouldn't that mean initial SSJ Vegeta>SSJ Goku? A little off topic i know
Initial?

Hmm. Interesting post.

Personally, I think that it's an impossibility for Post-Absorption #19 to be under Post-Yardrat Goku. Both Vegeta and Piccolo question whether they're as strong as Trunks claimed, but you must remember that there was a humongous gap between Trunks and the Androids, #19 could fit anywhere in there. Trunks made them out to be horrific, yes, but all that means is that #17 and #18 >>>> #19

Later on, Piccolo does entertain the two possibilities that could apply. I think it's a hybrid of them both. They became a lot stronger than they thought and the androids were weaker than they though. Although, I understand that with minimal gaps, you have to follow the logic that the OP uses

Did you just ignored the whole Post of OP?

Thing is, if they haven't even seen 17 and 18's power (from the future), how are they to conclude that 19 isn't as bad as the rumors said, going by that? Not that having 19 post under Yardrat Goku is incorrect, but I can't see what else they could go off of the conclude that future 'droids >>> 19.

Piccolo does state that Vegeta's above Goku, so yeah.

Hmm. Well, I think it all depends on gains. If you have them making humongous gains, as I do, #19 (Post) will be well above SSJ Trunks. If you have smaller gains, it becomes more questionable.

Eh, I don't have an answer.

Remember, this is my evidence for the gains not being as big as some might think. :P
