Warning: SPOILERS for chapter #92 of Dragon Ball Super The androids are called Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, the new enemy of Super Dragon Ballcurrent arc, has the same energy as goku And vegetarian in their Super Saiyan Blue state. Although the androids have appeared in the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie (which the manga is currently adapting), there has been a debate about how powerful they are, but the latest chapter of the manga confirms it. a popular theory.
In chapter #92 of Dragon Ball Super, Piccolo is the first of the Z Warriors to meet one of the powerful new cyborgs created by Dr. Hedo, grandson of Dr. Gero (who created the cyborgs) Root and Cell). Hedo’s genius far exceeds his grandfather’s, so his cyborgs are on a whole different level. Piccolo had a brief battle with Gamma 2 and, after determining the terrible strength of the enemy, he decided to retreat strategically to gather more information. While talking to Karin, Piccolo said that, based on his battle, he believes the two cyborgs are equal to Goku and Vegeta himself.
Piccolo confirms that the new Androids are as strong as Goku and Vegeta in blue form
As this scene played out in the film, it sparked a huge debate among fans, with some of Piccolo’s words discrediting, not believing he could actually feel real power. Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue form. This is based on an earlier moment in Part Moro (in Dragon Ball Super chapter #58) in which Piccolo states that he cannot sense Goku’s Ki. However, in that particular moment, Goku did indeed use his Sign of Supernatural Instinct, a state superior to Blue, as confirmed later by Moro. In the same chapter, Piccolo explicitly states that Goku (who was in his Blue form at the time), is stronger than the last time he saw him using Super Saiyan Blue, meaning he’s actually being able to feel one’s Ki.
The possible explanation is that Piccolo can sense the power of “God Ki” forms (hence Super Saiyan God, Super Saiyan Blue and their variants), but not Ultra Instinct (and potentially capable). Ultra Ego too), but a transcendent technique that is often the prerogative of Angels and Gods of Destruction. Thus, after Piccolo’s battle with Gamma 2, he can reliably compare the androids with Goku and Vegeta’s powers in Super Saiyan Blue form. This means that these new enemies are incredibly powerful, making them worthy villains for the current installment, as Goku and Vegeta are not on Earth and the task of defeating the androids falls on Piccolo’s shoulders. and Gohan.
These kinds of arguments are the bread and butter of the Dragon Ball community, and they can easily become meaningless from an outsider’s perspective. However, the power level of Android Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 is really relevant as it identifies them as strong, believable villains for this installment, the first one without Goku and Vegeta. If Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 are indeed Super Saiyan Blue levels, then that means, when Piccolo And gohan beat them (as anyone has seen Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero knew it was going to happen), they could end up being as powerful as goku And vegetarian is, if not stronger.
