That's the weird part about this movie, we don't really know exactly where it fits into the timeline. Based on the appearance of Trunks/Goten/Pan, it *seems* to be set just before the EoZ... But I'm not sure how much thought Toriyama actually put into the whole "movie timeline vs. manga timeline" thing. The dude doesn't give a f*ck.
At any rate, Orange Piccolo is clearly SSB++ level... But I still don't see him registering as a blip on Black Freeza's radar.
Oh yeah, Frieza wins here regardless; not denying that. As a Piccolo fan am just happy he is somewhere on the modern saiyan power level spectrum again, even though he would be theoretically somewhere below Beast Gohan.. Which is still a stupid name to me along with its uninspired design and Gohan not really doing anything impressive in said form. Even giving him the benefit of a doubt here though, the Frieza 10 year RoSaT gains is unprecedented.
Yeah, Beast Gohan really didn't impress me all that much.
Cell Max was intended to be Broly-ish tier at full power(per Toriyama.) Then he was significantly weakened by the Gamma kamikaze(to the point where a near-death Orange Piccolo was capable of temporarily subduing him.) Then Beast Gohan entered the fray, tanked a punch, charged his SBC, and blasted Cell's weak point ftw.
Based on that, I think you could argue that Beast Gohan ~ SSB Gogeta, at best... Which is still pretty irrelevant to the current manga scaling, tbh.
Originally posted by Galan007I thought it was set after Super, because otherwise where are these forms, both Gohan and Piccolo. Unless the movies are back to being non-canon, seems like every movie since BoG has been canon.
