Why isn't Tien in the top 5 strongest in the franchise...

Why isn't Tien in the top 5 strongest in the franchise, dude does nothing but train and farm every day but they make him job. Tienbros rise up.

humans aren't allowed to have anything

2 millions at the end of buu saga, not even enough to beat 100% freeza.

Because he's neither a Saiyan nor the latest antagonist.
/thread

Because he trains with fucking Chiaotzu of all people.

His training isn't very effective. Say what you want about Saiyan genes but Goku and Vegeta are always murdering their bodies in order to get ahead.

okay cyclops

tri-clops*

Humans simply have limitations. He could probably still get a bit stronger by someone unlocking his hidden potential(like the special water did to Goku, or Nameks leader did to Krillin + Gohan), but that's it.
What Humans have over most other races in the Dragon Ball universe is intelligence. One human was able to create a freaking time machine, that persons father created a device that can shrink almost anything into the size of a little capsule, and another human was able to create robots and cyborgs stronger than any other being in the universe. Plus one human was able to invent a martial arts technique that can seal away even gods, while another earthling created a food that can heal any injury instantly.
Humans are freaking monsters in this universe, the problem is that they simply don't have high powerlevels, and that's what the main cast cares about. If Bulma wouldn't rely on others to deal with problem of the day, she probably would have been able to beat any villain herself given enough prep-time.

You heard me.

Because Goku never taught him Kaioken.

Goku has always been using that little multiplier and Kaioken is a bigger boost than super sayian at this point.

why couldn't the kaioken become the human version of super sayain? either make the characters useful or keep them dead

Power levels having caps is just a cheap way to purposely short change everyone so the main hero can look more special than they actually are.

Based Tien bro

Part of this is due to TFS but Tien is legit my favorite character

Literally who?

I don’t mind power levels caps but they way things are done in DB is completely fucking retarded. Personally, I’d have made it so that someone with a stronger power level can deal more damage to you in a single blow and also take more damage over all but someone with a weaker power level should be able to take them out so long as they grind them long enough.

Yes, but who's the blue-haired one?

he's chinese
toriyama hates the chinese

The quality of his training is poor.

Humans are limited. He reached his limit fighting and being able to match unfused cell. That's the apex of human potential until the fanfiction.

All the people saying he reached his limit can fuck off. Saiyans has reached their limit with SSJ3 until Toriyama decided to asspull SSJ God out of nowhere. There’s no excuse for this blatant character assassination.

Gohan never trains
All he needs to do to keep up is get a bit angry.

Tien > Kucklin

Training by yourself doesn't get you anywhere. Goku has always relied on some sort of external help to get ahead of his peers, like the holy water, the Kaioken, getting nearly fucking killed, gravity training, time chamber, etc, etc.

He needs to archive UI to become top tier again

Power levels should only "cap" insofar as the sense that it's as far as the series gets. You shouldn't attach numerical values to it where the MC is lie 12 quadrillion and then everyone else gets like 5

>His training is not efficient
>Doesn't learn the power-up techniques he's got access to despite being human such as the Kaio-Ken
It's his own fault for being weak.
