That said, what's the situation?

If it's that he's randomly strong, oh noooo a character in dragon ball got a random power boost this has never happened befooooorrrrrreeee

To be fair, at least with the main characters being who they are, they can wave it off as new transformations. But with 17, it's just "He's suddenly able to go toe to toe with a god of destruction and damage someone stronger than a god of destruction, because plot and we need to add drama to the upcoming sacrifice, despite the last time we saw him he was no match for imperfect cell"

To be fair, I'd agree if we saw 17 every arc and he was losing to weak people. But in Dragon Ball, if somebody is gone for awhile, it's safe to just assume they're going to come back stronger. I mean, we don't know what he was doing all that time other than fighting poachers. Could have been training, whatever. We also don't really know how all the androids can gain power, either.

While non-canon (I believe?), we've already seen from GT that they've intended for 17 to be able to do things that you wouldn't have expected, such as fusing with himself, absorbing power, etc., which means the androids aren't just cut and dry "human with technology."

We already know they have infinite(near infinite?) stamina, which you'd assume would certainly help with training.
