Don't you mean by the time of the ToP his Base surpassed the ritual in BoG? In BoG his SSJ was stated by Goku and Beerus themselves to be as strong as SSG from a moment ago so I think SSJ GOk(ToP)>SSG Goku(BoG) kind of goes without saying.However, I still think that by the time of the TOP, Goku's SS should be above the ritual in BOG.The narrator's statement is the only real indication comparing the current power in ROF to SSG from BoG. It may appear to be referring to the transformation itself, but I think that the intention of the line was to establish where things stand in terms of power not strictly in terms of transformations. The example you gave was referring to equivalent forms too. Of course, a stronger Vegeta in SSJ is stronger than Goku in the same form on Namek. We are discussing an "inferior" form (Base) surpassing SSG. There's no precedent set earlier in the series and I would imagine had Goku/Vegeta surpassed that level it would have been made more clear or shown in some other way.And imo the narrator only saying SSB surpassed God was probably to say that he found a higher transformation. For example, a big plot point in the Cell Arc was the protagonists going beyond Super Saiyan. Does this mean that up until SS Grade 2 that Vegeta was weaker than SS Goku in the Namek Arc? Of course not. However, I still stand by my opinion that SS4 Gogeta vs SSB Goku (U6) is close.
Yeah I don't see anything wrong with saying SSJ4 Gogeta vs U6 Arc SSB Goku is close is an irrational opinion. I just wanted to point out that saying Base Goku ROF>SSG Goku BoG is fairly objectively false.
Yeah, considering the massive gains in the Future Trunks Arc and the TOP, his base should be above BOG era ritual form. So who do you think is the strongest character in Super that SS4 Gogeta (no time limit) could beat? I'm asking because I'm not quite sure myself.
