DB Goku's Lifting Strength Downgrade

[Nullflowerblush]

Class 100 (Easily moved a large rock)

I could start off by saying this is inconsistent with Z's portrayal of Goku's Lifting Strength, but that's a can of worms I would rather not open.

Goku could just barely budge the rock and was exhausted afterwards. He should not scale to the full weight of the rock or more accurately, the full weight of the rock when friction is applied—that would be like giving an ordinary teenager Class 1 for slightly pushing his mom's car (c'mon, everyone has tried at least once). Alternatively, you could get something out of this boulder since Goku could actually move this one, albeit with a struggle at first. There's also Goku and Krillin's high jump, although this is most likely impressive than the aforementioned "tiny" boulder. Either way, he would still upscale from Class 5 at the bare minimum.

These occur in Chapters 32 and 33, by the way.

Actually, can this be closed down? I have a better idea.

I'm confused. What are you trying to argue exactly?

Ups sorry. Deleted it. Didn't see that the Z part was crossed out in your initial post. I thought you think 100 tons is inconsistant based on the 40 tons thing in Z which I wanted to clarify

Considering Goku was experiencing 100g, he would be lifting 400 tons.

I was moreso referring to the gravity training he underwent on the way to Namek. Under 300g, Goku would become 20+ tons, and it took him rigorous life-or-death training in order to handle that level of gravity. Aside from that, there are no other feats on the level of this boulder in the original DB, unless I'm missing something.

Oh Okay I see your point.

Well, from what I recall, Ugarik mentioned in one of my blogs for rock shape objects that aren't on like super slippery ground, it would require at least 0.45x the weight to simply move, then the friction also just gets added to that.
