This means he could have well been at the weakest we've ever seen him. That much energy expenditure affected G to such an extent that not even feeding as frequently as he was in Godhunter (ie. literally as fast as he could) was properly sating him -- like I said before, missing out on 2 meals nearly killed him.
So unless the canisters housed so much energy that they were able to rebuild G's 'core' and return him to his normal powerlevels (unlikely), then he still MUST have been in a weakened state, even with their added power. Maybe not AS weak, but still significantly below his 'standard' levels.
...IF you are of the opinion that he even absorbed canister-powa, that is. 🙂
fair enough. he clearly had some serious reserves left. in the past, he was so weak reed could have just let him die. deciding to save him led to the whole trial of reed arc. clearly he wasn't THAT weak. i honestly don't know HOW weak he was. weak for sure, i agree completely, but not as weak as we've seen him. that's why he's such a frustrating character to try and gauge and compare. he can be so weak and at times so powerful. makes it essentially impossible to gauge his 'norm'. which makes it equally difficult to use him in vs matches at times. 😬
on a different note--how's the fam??
