Z fighters suppression

I just had a thought about something. When Goku goes to the lookout, he immediately notices how strong Piccolo had become. If Piccolo had been suppressing then it wouldn't have been possible to tell. So does this kind of throw the "Z fighters always walk around suppressed" theory out the window?

Maybe the stronger they become the harder it is to suppress? If piccolo could suppress himself to let's say a power level of 100 and now only to 500, that's a sign that he got a lot stronger idk that's all I got haha

He suppressed to basically 0 on the mountain in the Boo arc though.

Goku has always been a special case when it comes to sensing ki. Take the situation with Cell, for example. Cell was suppressing his ki to a certain level, but Goku was able to somehow sense past that. Not to any specific point, of course, but he somehow knew that Cell was holding back, even though the others didn't share the same doubts.

Very true, and that opens up an interesting discussion.

How are people able to tell when another person is holding back their ki? Krillin was able to tell that a Trunks was holding back some ki. Goku knew Cell was, etc.

I don't think that's how it works. :w00t:

The whole suppression theory is bogus anyhow. I think it takes a certain amount of effort to suppress yourself that much at all times, and we see various moments in which they struggle to keep their power down.

I think it has to do with being in close proximity of the other person. Krillin got kicked by Cell and Goku said that he'd have to be face-to-face with him to get an accurate read on his power. It also helps that they're two of the most adept sensors in the series; it's likely that Trunks and Vegeta, despite being close to Cell, weren't able to get a good read on his power because they novices at sensing ki, at least when compared to the likes of the other Z-Senshi.

In Krillin's case I'm guessing he was basing it off Trunks attitude. He probably saw that Trunks was too calm about the whole thing, and Krillin took it to mean he had more power than he was letting on, that's how I've always seen that scene. Same for how he knows Cell is hiding power - Cell's attitude to supposedly still being weaker than Vegeta didn't add up.

He'd later do this again with base Gotenks, only this time it'd turn out to be wrong.
