DB Piccolo vs Vegeta

piccolo of 23rd budokai vs vegeta when he fights goku for the first time

Vegeta, of course?

It's not even a question. Piccolo got significantly stronger between the 23rd Budokai and when he fought Nappa and lost, and Nappa was much weaker than Vegeta.

I don't get it, the series explicitly say their powerlevel is very different.

what is with all the db fights where it is completely obvious who will win?

Someone's trolling my fandom, as per the usual. As if that Pan vs Bardock thread weren't enough.

This was fair on DBZ legendary super warriors at least

Think before making a thread will you?
