Mr. Popo's Disturbing Hidden Power...

Despite not having much screen time since the addition of Super, Mr. Popo's lore has grown exponentially with the introduction of the Divine Attendants. So how much stronger has he become now, knowing what we've learned since the original Dragon Ball?

I think the big thing here is that Popo's primary power is magic. People forget magic is a thing in the DB verse. Power levels are a representation of physical strength. Ki is also physical in nature. Magic is loosely defined in the DB verse and we have no way to judge how powerful it can actually be. I liked Goku using a telekinetic ability on Broly in DBS Broly precisely because it reminds people that things other than ki and hitting each other really hard exist.

[@ObscureJester]

In canon, Popo declares "my power is nothing compared to Kami". This might seem to draw a line on his power level, although not necessarily. It can indeed read as "the current power I allow myself to tap in without breaking the divine rules of not interfering is inferior to Kami". Basically Popo set his power level to a minimum, enough to do his duty but also low enough not to risk breaking the galaxy apart by mistake. Which is also the reason he chugs gallons, to keep himself nerfed. Everyone: "Z-ZENO-SAMA!" Popo: "Hey maggot."

[@kalevipoeg6916]

Well, "power" is also subjective. It doesn't always mean PHYSICAL power. In terms of physical strength it's incredibly obvious that Popo FAR exceeds anything Kami has ever done - he's also obviously much faster. I think what Popo means by Kami's power is more like divine power of overseeing the world and also his connection to the immense power of the dragonballs and what THEY can do. Kami and the dragonballs are one - they are a part of his power - so in that sense, kami while not PHYSICALLY powerful DOES have an unbelievable amount of power in that his being allows the dragonballs to exist and therefore allows such amazing things as immortality, wishing back entire planets full of people and other thing that are far beyond what anyone can accomplish with mere punches, kicks and energy blasts. I think a lot of people forget about this - that the dragonballs ARE an extension of the namekian who creates them - and therefore are part of what can be considered his "power". Consider that if Kami were so inclined he could have YEARS ago gathered the dragonballs and made some wish to be immortal, or to be the strongest in the universe or whatever else it may be - he could even transport the entire planet to the far end of the universe if he wanted - and all using something HE CREATED. So yeah, while Popo is far beyond Kami in physical terms, Kami (and any Namekian who has the ability to create a set) IS among the most "powerful" beings in the universe not through physical power but what his dragonballs can accomplish. He ALSO has heavenly authority and can even talk to gods like King Kai directly or travel to the otherworld at will, and in doing so can have an enormous influence on events. Kami even had the ability to split himself into two beings at will - and later re-fuse with that being and become extremely powerful as a result - so that's also another form of power. Take a U.S. president - Joe Biden, for instance. PHYSICALLY, he's not powerful at all. I'd end him easily in a fight - he's a frail old man and I'm bigger than him. But he still wields a lot of power - just not PHYSICAL power. Babidi has a lot of power - but is physically very weak. People just tend to think of physical power only when they hear someone is "powerful" ;)

[@alexzero3736]

Ok. Only one hand.

[@TnT_F0X]

I thought Mr Popo's 'power level' was based on Earth's population. As a kid watching at least that made the most sense to me. He was a magic attendant to the guardian, so he was linked to Earth and is basically the bodyguard of god. So if that's the case, Mr Popo has subtly absorbed powers from goku, piccolo, saiyans, kais, gods of destruction. Mr Popo will be the final boss after the angels and omniking

i am in the camp that thinks popo literally has limitless power. it is just that he is only allowed to use as much as the opponent currently challenging him. basically if you are at 100%, he adjusts his specs such that his 100% is now equal to yours. assuming he is using ultra instinct, what this inherently means is that fighting popo will always feel like fighting the perfected form of you.

@@AlX-Ander note the "perfected form of you" line. Goku at that time very much had the capability to do every single thing Popo was doing to him, but his skills were crude and unrefined, so Popo, without much effort on his own part, embarrassed him with the skills Goku was technically capable of but unable to use. Which is why afterwards he sought to teach Goku how to be better.

[@carson21211]

Awesome. Popo has always been an enigma in the DB universe, but this is how I have always felt about his abilities. He is a divine being, but not a top level one like the Angels.

This was so well done! Love it!

[@bigdaddyg3529]

My personal theory is that Genies, given their magical properties in myth, has a reactive power. Similar to Moro with his absorption magic and Babidi with his power enhancement; I think Popo is just increasing his "baseline" power level in reaction to an opponent. Like with all the people he's trained and fought against, he has never been on the offensive cause he's never needed to, therefore having a "lower" power level comparatively. Which also explains how he dies when the Earth explodes and when Buu kills him using the Extinction Ray, since in both occasions he was caught nearly completely off-guard and didn't have time to react. TL;DR: He doesn't have a power level, since it's constantly changing

[@DigitalPand3mic]

I have the same feeling as well, I like the "idea" of a power lv...but I really dont think it applies to him. As you said, it depend on the situation, him dying when the earth blows up from somewhere thousand of miles away...yeah thats understandable. Otherwise hed just teleport with the guardian of earth likely to Namek.

[@nyankers]

Ultra Instinct is kind of a weird thing in DBZ. It's definitely generally something martial artists only reach when they've fully mastered their skills, but it's odd that it's above destroying planets and galaxies. Essentially, Goku was learning the general concept UI is based off of at the end of Dragonball, took a break from it to learn how to strengthen his body to be on par with saiyans, went super overboard with that, unlocked and mastered super saiyan, and then remembered he never actually finished mastering basic martial arts, lol.

[@caoinismyname]

UI is based on zen's "joriki" or maybe "mojudo no taigen." Can also be just "enlightenment" or achieving "wuwei." The reason you find UI weird is because you don't study the spiritual aspects of the prior terms I listed. That's why you can only comprehend that having UI should not physically make one stronger. In the real world, joriki (or the other terms mentioned), is connecting with the universe, the divine, etc. The most common application is on cognitive efficiency: doing without thinking, knowing what to do without analyzing, etc. This is also what "modern science" only believers can comprehend. If you include the energetic explanation for this state, you'll find out that being connected to the universe means also being able to use its energy w/o limits. That's why certain peoples associate enlightenment with "siddhis" or super powers. Hence, if enlightenment is the peak for human potential in the real world, then UI, should also grant unparalleled strength.

[@nyankers]

@@caoinismyname it's a weird thing in DBZ specifically I suppose it makes sense the characters inspired by Wukong would have tremendous strength they don't fully understand, but it's odd that a character like Piccolo hasn't also reached this level of enlightenment. he's literally god and the devil in one being, after all.

[@caoinismyname]

@@nyankers This might help, although, I'm not so sure myself as well. Enlightenment is achieved by humans, not gods nor devils. A prerequisite is also doing the yamas and niyamas (in yoga) and the eightfold path (in Buddhism). It means to be pure first in body and character so you can lead the mind to one-pointedness. Being both a god and a devil means he's not pure in character. He's a mix. One goal of enlightenment is also seeing one's true self: not as a god, as a devil, as a human, but as oneself. In the end, it's not one's origins that makes one enlightened but one's effort to achieve it. Also, others say we are already enlightened and that what we have to struggle for is to be aware of it.

[@caoinismyname]

Also, Wukong isn't an enlightened being. He is just an innocent demon who is very strong, even the heavens fear him. We can say he's the strongest, if not among the strongest. Still, he was easily restrained by Buddha, an enlightened being. This again is another example why UI in Dragonball makes one stronger than mere galaxy busting.

[@bluephoenixguy1094]

I'd say it's because power was far easier to increase than the efficiency of your techniques. Over the course of less than 6 days on namek, everyone got at LEAST hundreds of times stronger and faster. Getting that level of mastery must take FAR longer since well... you can't brute force it like you can with power

I agree he’s got an elementary utilization of UI, in the manga they do explain that there’s various tiers to it, but I feel like where ur argument falls short is that a lot of ur claims live on the idea that “limits don’t exist bc they haven’t presented any”. For example, Popos ‘absorption’. We’ve seen him nullify attacks from opponents weaker than himself sure, but what is it like when he confronts an attack from someone significantly stronger, like as u mentioned, SP Cell? Is a solar system lvl kamehameha just too much for his body to handle? How can it be concluded that his nullification works on a ranged attack of that caliber? We simply don’t know how many leagues can be crossed before he gives out bc we aren’t given any scenarios that show his limits. However that doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t there But regardless awesome vid bro it was rly well done per usual, I love ur analyses 😂

[@PlanetLevelDB]

I agree for sure! Its totally possible that say, in the Nappa example, he would just get blown away bcus of the power difference. Hard to say 1 way or the other I think so I chose to go with the one that was more fun and interesting. Though its dif bcus hes an android, 19 was able to absorb from Goku who was way stronger so I used that in my reasoning too but I didnt put it in the video bcus its shakey reasoning at best xD

[@ojpickle5923]

​@@PlanetLevelDB Absorption is tricky in dragon ball. Yakon exploded after swallowing Goku's energy (pause) yet babidis energy container didn't explode when stealing Gohan's energy. So based on the series Popo might explode but could also reasonably be just fine. (Although I took the smoke over Popos head to mean he was somewhat near his absorption limit so it's probably not as op as other absorption techniques)

[@PlanetLevelDB]

Thats a great way to look at it. I could also see the smoke being a way that he can expel the excess so he DOESNT explode. Lots of these old things from original DB and early Z are totally up to interpretation since we never get set rules about them, thats why theyre so fun to talk about.

It stopped Freeza from destroying earth, firstly from beating them with sheer power and then by negating it using time travel. It stopped Zamasu by him helping to find out who he even was. It helped beat Moro when he stepped in to talk to Goku and literally interferes with their fight. Whis has altered the entire course of their timeline multiple times. What more do you want him to do in order for him to be classed as someone who “interferes”? Whis interfered in every arc and yeah, you’re right, DB has a weird way of saying it. Whis and the angels can interfere unless the plot needs them not to like Merus. So that’s what you’re missing. Toriyama retcons things all the time and it’s silly to take the words of characters over their literal actions on panel.

[@AtenSol12]

meh, the plot has consistently shown they cannot directly interefere by means of "i stop the villain using my power bec i am far above practically everything." vs "yea, i can totally help you figure out whats going on and support you in your fights to defend yourself and fix the current problem of your own power." the turn back time think would count as support even for a GoD which is why he csn do it for the mortals. if for instance beerus was too mad and rampage and destroyed a planet he didnt mean to whis could turn back time back its the same principle. however, whis wouldnt per se, happen upon buu a million years ago an think "wow this thing is doing lord beerus' job i cant allow that and beat buu. db is kinda consistent in priniple. this is was merus doesnt count as interference even tho he spends an inordiante amount of time in the gp. he isnt using his power to accomplish what he is doing he is living by rules of the mortals. once he expresses his own power he begins to fade bec he has crossed the line into "alright, now we do it my way." territory instead of just "yea i can help you and as a higher order being incan do that in anyway i see fit." its akin to wat ccounts as God in Christianity working in mysterious ways or by what people see as coincidence as opposed to just showing up in person and stoping a car accident or saving ppl trapped in fire. "ill help, but i wont be direct about it." direct = using my power to solve your problem. indirect = ill use my power to help you solve your problem yourself.

[@teeboz6237]

@@AtenSol12 while you said a lot you contradicted yourself. Reversing time is clearly a power mortals don’t have, therefore making it an angel power. Especially since GoD’s don’t have it and no other gods in DB do. Using such a power directly changes history hence why it’s illegal to the galactic patrol. By these standards there would be no time rings if it’s not interfering. Goku would have died of the heart virus and the world taken over by the androids. However, Trunks interfered. He went back in time to change events. Whis did the same. If that’s not interference then the earth would have blown up, everyone except Whis and Beerus would have died in the vacuum of space and U7 wouldn’t have won the ToP. How is literally changing the course of an entire universe and eventually multiverse not interfering? I don’t get you guys. Whis literally directly solved their problem by not only bringing earth back but by reviving every human and alien on the planet. You’re literally saying a wish from Shenron, which has done the exact same thing isn’t interfering. Tell that to mass of beings who have stated the DB’s shouldn’t be used in that way as it’s against the natural order. Toriyama is clearly inconsistent with his rules.

[@n0xure]

In the manga first thing Mr Popo teaches Goku that "emptying his mind" allows him to move "faster than thunder" (which is the speed of sound, not light) and mr Popo also says he has superior reflexes because he can sense vibrations in the air, which means he doesn't need to rely on eyesight to fight. With this he can even beat ki suppression techniques (used for sneak and deflection attacks on skilled opponents like Tien and Piccolo who can also sense ki). It's kind of debatable whether this is a primitive form of UI - the lesson here is to use all his senses and react without thinking and that lowering your ki can also be useful in combat; while UI is a more esoteric form that also teaches to act without thinking, but is kind of the opposite when it comes to using the senses; claiming that it doesn't rely on any external stimuli at all. Ultimately, the whole point of Popo's "empty mind" technique is about making the body lighter so it can move faster - which is also first step in teaching the "airdance" (flying). Ultimately it's more about Popo is trying to teach Goku that there's a lot more to ki control than firing balls of energy.

[@TheGothGaming]

I agree except the speed of sound part. Thunder is much faster than the speed of sound. Thats why when you see the flash of a thunder or lightning you hear it seconds later

[@justaweirdtree9645]

​@@TheGothGaming Thunder is the noise, not the flash. The flash is the lightning, which is followed by the sound of thunder.

[@HeritageStacking]

Vibrations in the air could be seeing atoms move. If that's the case he could move like neutrinos or 99.998% the speed of light. Since light interaction with atoms happen at that speed?

[@DollanFerinal]

Neutrinos are neutral particles that have almost no mass, they're created when particles come together or split up. Usually this is achieved via radiation, stars, or nuclear reactors... The movement of sound through the air is a wave and waves move at different speeds through different mediums depending on what caused it. Sound travels at roughly 700 mph through our atmosphere. Thunder is not caused by neutrinos, it is caused by the lightning literally ripping apart the atmosphere it passes through and leaving a void which is then filled in by the atmosphere rushing in to fill that void. The resulting crash causes a sonic boom or what is known as thunder...

Characters like Popo are probably the closest we get to the symbolism outlined in journey to the west Their form is one of mastery and by extension harmony, essentially creatures with so much immersion with the natural world that they could be perceived as gods Mortals however are born to be inhabitants of the natural world, making their way in this life as opposed to observing it. It comes as a delight when non mortals encounter mortals because it's sort of a triumph for entropy. They have an attitude of "look how far you've come" since mortality is rife with uncertainty and instability. We might get hung up on status, hedonism, and control that our inherited authority over the world goes undocumented You might even call it antisocial. While I'm not going to sit here and say that people should have anything to do with djinn, it would be in our best interests to be mindful of our appearance. For every Popo figure, there are Bojacks and Zamasus eager to show us out

[@jordanglasper1064]

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say something that may be very well controversial. Mr. Popo is the most unique divine being throughout the entire DB series. So much so that I have a theory that he is quite possibly God of destruction power level. How so? For this simple answer a lot, he has never powered up. On top of that he has never went full power against any opponent he fought, and he has strange abilities. These character traits mirror the Angels. Every divine being, no matter what species or race, Have the rare ability to power up. This means the current level of power that they display is a base form of their Maximum power level. Even though he himself does not have the ability to transform, so it appears. The ability to power up is just as effective if not more so superior to a transformation alone. Mr. Popo In the Cell Arc compared Goten & Trunks to Kid Goku. This was all done in the context that his power level alone never increase nor decreased. This is why he is able to make the comparison between the youngest generation of Saiyan’ vs Goku. . Meaning his is level of power has not increased or decreased it is the same. This is the context of what is comparison is based on. And the various Guidebooks that plays Mr. Popo on a low end level of power, is pure randomness on absolutely nothing to go on. Think about it, a divine being who is so powerful makes everyone else look weak in comparison. What if for whatever reason Mr. Popo is restricted from fighting where is not allowed to do so kind of like the angels. He can but because he’s so strong he’s not allowed to go out. But that’s not a problem because he’s never faced anyone near or at his level of power. He is in a constant state of suppression like the angels. Popo is a divine being with immense power, a mystic of sorts. More than anything else usually the most powerful beings are more often than not the most they are unwilling to display or exert anywhere near their full level of power simply because they are too strong. Also whatever reason they are not allowed to disclose to measure or merit or limit of their power level. He said that Kami Sama was stronger. We learn in DB this is not true. This is expanded upon in DBZ specifically the cell arc. This would also mean Mr. Popo has had the power level to destroy every single threat on and outside the planet. But because of certain Universal Cosmic Rules we are unaware of. Popo is forbidden to interfere. Before whatever reason, maybe one of the rules is he’s not supposed to allow any mortal or even other divine beings know how powerful he is. Think about it no one has ever been able to detect Mr. Popo‘s power level because only divine beings are able to mask their chi/ ki enerngy from all Mortals. This is especially true for gods of destruction & Angels. Even tho the Kaioshin are Divine Beings. Their power levels can be felt by mortal beings. Identical to The God Of Destruction, Lord Beerus and his Attendant The Angel known as Whis. I have a few more theories about Mr. Popo. He is definitely one of the most interesting characters in DBZ. Can you imagine Mr. Popo fighting against an opponent, but he is powered up. And I have no doubt he has the ability to use ultra instinct to the highest level. I’ll leave it at this, personally my humble opinion. Mr. Popo has never die. We have never seen him die we have never seen him at any interference with the afterlife.

[@IncredibleFlyinSquid]

This video reinforces the idea initially put forth I believe by Team Four Star in Dragon Ball Z Abridged where Mr. Popo is one of the most badass people and that is showcased throughout the entire run of DBZA to the point that when he calls the Dragon during the Frieza saga, he seems adamant on helping Mr. Popo take over the universe.
