I hate it when "normal" people try to debate Dragon Ball with me.

I got into a debate today on Facebook with some guy who claims to know a lot about Dragon Ball. There's an image circling around on Facebook that says, "Did you know: At some point every Z fighter was stronger than Goku."

False. Yamcha and Krillin were never "stronger" than Goku. I stated this in the comments and some guy is trying to argue using wiki sources that state Yamcha was about to win the fight with Goku at the beginning of Dragon Ball. I conceded that, yes, Yamcha may have won given the opportunity, but only because Goku was starving. Had Goku been fully focused on the fight, he would have won against Yamcha. And I'm pretty sure that Goku and Krillin were equals at some point in time, but Krillin was never stronger than Goku.

It's been a while since I've read or watched early Dragon Ball, so let me know if I'm wrong. If I'm right, how can I shut this guy up?

No need to be elitist about it. Everyone was like that at some point. Anyway, I can't help you in proving or disproving that, DB isn't my thing

Yamcha might have been higher (actually very likely) than Goku after his tail was cut-off, but before training with Master-Roshi. So yeah very short time.

Krillin could be stronger than Goku when the fight with Freeza started, as Goku was at 90,000 until his Zenkai kicked in, and Krillin's power level was continuously growing.

Yamcha on the other hand never surpassed Goku. Goku proved himself to be stronger in the Pilaf saga when the two fought each other at their max strength Goku clearly had the upperhand. In the 21st Budokai Yamcha got easily beaten by Jackie Chun, who Goku was on par with. Then later he got beat by Mummy Man who Goku easily beat. At the 22nd Budokai Yamcha was stated to be about equal to Krillin, whom Goku beat (not to mention he lost to Tien, who Goku fought on par with). At the 23rd Budokai Roshi says Goku, Kami, Tien and Piccolo are the four strongest in the world. At the start of Z their powerlevels are read out and Goku's is higher than Yamcha's. I won't even bother with the rest of the series, you get the point now.

Also who counts as a "Z fighter"? Yajirobe and Chaozu were also never stronger than Goku. Tien might not have ever been stronger, as far as I know they're suggested to be equals in their fight in the 22nd Budokai, and Goku only ever got stronger than Tien from there.

Clearly it isn't lol.

OT: But ya right I believe. Yamcha got his a*** kicked by a not hungry Goku and Krillin at best was a decent rival, but neither never surpassed him.

I don't see how that's elitist. It's simply pointing out that a "fact" is wrong.

The "normal" comment implies that one is abnormal. It's certainly true, but it's rather crass, imo

Yamcha started out pretty strong and he nearly defeated Goku when he was young, but just because Goku was tired and hungry.
Krillin started out a lot weaker than Goku when he first arrived to Roshi's house. He did knock out a Saber-toothed cat with a karate chop. But as we all know Goku could do that while blindfolded. Krillin got scared and wreckless and attacked the poor feline.
Ten Shin Han was probably stronger at some point than Goku, but when they fought one another Goku definetely had the upper hand.
Same with Piccolo (aside from Piccolo getting stronger for a few hours when he fused with Nail and Kami) and probably the same with Vegeta, even though the Kaio-Ken saved his a*** with the latter the first time they fought. Even though Vegeta isn't from DB, he's from Z, but whatever.

Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?!

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

I know what I'm going to say will come off as elitist, but just ignore him. Simply put, the people who are set in there ways, like this guy seems to be, simply aren't worth your time.

But, Kaioken tho...

Well I'll just ignore the jackass but the casual DB fan don't care for stuff like us. Can't blame them.

Though the title is a bit elitist

We didnt see every minute of their training, so we can only assume. Yamcha technically was stringer since he is older than him. So when Goku was born, Yamcha was "stringer". But, like every character, Goku somehow makes huge, unrealistic gains to put him above the rest.

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

Yamcha was "stronger" than Goku for a fleeting moment during their first fight, but it was only because Goku was hungry, which doesn't really apply in a case like this.
With that same logic, one could argue that 19 was stronger than Super Saiyan Goku. Another factor was involved (the heart virus) that made it seem this way toward the tail end of the fight.

And Krillin has never proven to be stronger than Goku at any point in the series.

My favorite "facts" are the outrageous claims by the Brolytards that have virtually no basis in evidence. ;)
