The "Unearned" Power-Ups of Dragon Ball
Which power-ups in Dragon Ball are actually unearned? Which are just misunderstood?

The longer Dragon Ball goes on the more people throw around a specific phrase - “unearned power up.” Whether it be a transformation, a new technique, or even just a character getting stronger in a disagreeable way, you’ll always hear about “unearned power ups.” So let’s go over every power up that’s supposedly unearned in the series and see if it actually is.
Original Dragon Ball is where we’ll start, but honestly there aren’t many cases of a character powering up in a way that isn’t training related. I think the first one you could look at is Goku’s fight against Giran - no not Jiren - Giran in the 21st Tenkaichi Budoukai. Giran uses his Merry Go Round Gum technique to entirely immobilize Goku and seemingly he can’t escape. That is, until his tail conveniently grows back and even more convenient - his tail makes him stronger! This lets Goku escape the Gum and with a quick display of power Giran resigns.
It’s obvious why people think this is an unearned power up, but what if I told you it just isn’t a power up. Only the Dub has Goku say he feels so much stronger with his tail. The sub and especially the manga imply that his tail only gave him enough time to break out of the gum since it took a bit of effort. So, I’d say this isn’t a case of an unearned power up, more so just a classic dubbism. Find out more in the video itself from Beast Gohan and Orange Piccolo to Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Evolution Vegeta to Ultimate Gohan and Golden Freeza.
