i thought the androids couldnt get stronger because of the way they were built? isnt that why cell had to absorb the other androids to reach his perfect form, rather than just do it on his own?
it doesnt even fukking matter tho. at the start of super, goku's power grew to the point he could fight a god of destruction. one of the strongest beings in all of existence. and that was BEFORE he started training with whis.
him and vegeta also took turns slapping around a power-boost version of frieza like it was nothing.
but 17 and krillin can handle a kamehameha wave while he's in ssb form?
nah. no way to justify it. if he wanted to test them without going all out, he wouldnt have gone ssb to begin with. dont nerf goku to make them look stronger. pick better fighters or tell a better story.
the writers are being really clumsy with this shyt. and for the first time since DBS started, it's frustrating to watch. for me at least.
