Battle Of Gods Base Goku Is Weaker Than Frieza?

That makes no sense IMO. That would make Boo Arc Base Goku weaker than Frieza and BOG Goku > Boo Arc Goku

I still don't get the problem anyone has with it. What's so wrong with Goku getting way, WAY stronger after his fight with Freeza, but not quite 40x or more stronger?

It's funny because i always had Frieza > Base Saiyans.

Few of my topics in past were battlefield because of this and even now some of them won't accept the truth.

The statment is made by AT himself (since he wrote whole thing himself) so yes, its right and everyone else who thinks diffrent is wrong...

Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Toriyama obviously readed whole manga, and than decided to write everything with his hands.

He wouldn't mind so much and take everything in his hands if he didn't know what he was doing...

It doesn't say that. You say that.

How do you think i knew that Frieza is way up in the fucking sky compered to Base Saiyans before Battle of Gods was even relised ?

I readed manga and didn't find contradictions. Also to me it never made sense that Base Goku can beat his SSJ self or Universe tyrant that no amount of training can surpass, which brought me to this decision at first...

Are you talking about Trunks from "Trunks the Story"? That's the 14 year old SS Trunks that base Gohan can handle with one hand, and it is stated that Trunks is born with the ability to turn Super Saiyan without doing training.

What other flaws?

Bills knows Frieza and amount of power he has. He was suprised that Saiyan defeated him.

He judged Goku's power just like Ginyu, and nothing says that he was wrong when he stated that Goku couldn't defeat Frieza without powering up to SSJ.

He said nothing about Goku can't beat Freeza in his base form because Goku was suppressed. Goku can still power up in his base form. He was just highly suppressed in his base.

Besides didn't Goku think Freeza was not much of a challenge in the Tarble movie and he thought that the kids would make a great match for them and Goku only saw Freeza's final form.

Please don't state false claims.

There's absolutely nothing in the manga saying or implying that base Goku in the Buu saga has to be stronger than Freeza. Goku can be something like 40 times stronger in his base in the Buu saga compared to when he fought Freeza and he would still be weaker than Freeza (since SSJ is a 50 times increase).

There's absolutely no problem with the gaps in power in the android arc and buu arc with this assumption because, even a small increase in the power at base, since SSJ is a 50 times increase of the base's power, would still make the Saiyan, much, much stronger.

A saiyan with a base power level of 10 will only have 500 with his SSJ. But if he increases his base power by just 5 times, his SSJ would be 2500. And that's just 5 times, not something like 40. And that's just regarding SSJ1, not any other form of SSJ which would increase his power even further.

Like it was mentioned, even someone like Ginyu could more or less figure out correctly the power of a fighter even if he was suppressed. Why you think Bills, the most powerful god that we know of in the DB universe, is not capable of doing something like that is beyond me.

Yes he did.
Beers: I heard from Whis that you defeated Freeza.
Goku: Freeza? Y-Yes that was definitely me.
(Beers checks Goku.)
Beers: Seeing you as you are now I doubt you'd be able to. But it seems you power up by becoming a Super Saiyan.
Kaio: That is correct. You are well informed.

It says nothing of the kind. Goku was impressed that the kaioshins could all defeat frieza in one blow. Why would he be impressed by that unless Freeza's power was somehow still relevant? And the only way for frieza's power to be relevant would be for goku's base to still be below frieza.

What exactly is the problem here? The manga doesn't contradict this statement, so what reason is there to think it's incorrect? I realize people get a little too carried away with Dabura's statement, but seriously other than that, there's really nothing suggesting the base Saiyans are anything special. Now I am an oddball and do think Saiyans can put a little SSJ energy into their base forms, but that's unnecessary as far as the manga goes. I only did that to make sense of GT.
Saiyan007 wrote:He said nothing about Goku can't beat Freeza in his base form becuase Goku was suppressed.
Well you would be wrong. Beers says that he doesn't think Goku could beat Freeza as he is now. Kaio agrees with Beers AND Goku doesn't argue. These are facts. Everything beyond that are assumptions, and people ASSUME Goku is stronger than Freeza because of a little statement that Dabura makes.
