Fuckin midichlorians man.... i mean.... s-cels
This misconception seems common, so I’ll address it. S-Cells are absolutely nothing like Midichlorians. At all. Midichlorians determine the strength of one’s connection to the Force and how powerful they will be. They’re also set from birth. S-Cells have no bearing whatsoever on a Saiyan’s strength. Rather, they’re simply the genetic anomaly in the Saiyan bloodline that allows for such transformations to occur. While it’s possible to be born with a higher amount than another, those amounts can change, and actually increase or decrease over time due to internal or even outside factors. And again, they primarily determine the ease with which one can attain these transformations, not how powerful it is. Vegeta had fewer than Goku, and had to push himself harder to transform, but that didn’t exactly make him far weaker. Goten seemingly has more than Trunks, but Trunks was still a bit stronger than Goten. So no, Midichlorians these are not.
