I guess that's how it should be? But then I see tons of whining and such about SS/SS2 Caulifla and U6 Saiyans in general which would mean people care about the writing if they get into such debates over so and so "earning" this and that.
I feel like it's heavily implied that Gohan now can match SSB Goku without kaioken and that for some reason 17 can to. And I think if Freeza can then his U6 copy can to if the story gives him a transformation.
Soooo if that's the case Gohan coulda beat the bricks outta Goku before SSB training if he had just trained with Piccolo for a bit...
And Trunks can by unlocking a unique transformation on his own "just cause"?
If we're ok with ass pull power ups I see no reason to leave the other Z fighters behind completely.
Maybe we'll learn more about SSB this week seeing how things are going.
Gohan is implied, but Goku held him off with Super Saiyan 2. 17 is a cyborg cheat with endless energy and decades of training. Frost could match Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, but he isn't there as far as we know.
Super Saiyan God Goku was a weak God in the grand scheme of things like the Kais. And Piccolo couldn't even make Goku transform.
