If Popeye takes spinach, can he hold his own against Goku?
Popeye the Sailor, in case people don't know, is a comic character created in 1929. Originally starting out as a gag character, he went on to become a comic book hero, namely when he takes his spinach he's strong to the finish!

He strikes me as the one gag hero who could go toe to toe with Goku and has a good chance to stand his ground. Do you think Popeye can withstand Goku?

A true hero goes beyond not the limits of power, but the limits that divide countries and people.

Re: If Popeye takes spinach, can he hold his own against Goku?
If we consider him a gag character, he can not only go toe to toe with anime Goku, but beat him..
That's what gag characters are, logic dosen't apply to them..
However, Berrus and manga Goku both can beat them, hakai works on them just fine..
Arale stood no chance..

Doesn't matter who wins, people would still complain about power levels.
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.

Popeye has toon force, so he wins.

He'd be treated similar to Arale, another gag character who can go toe to toe with Super Saiyan Blue Goku.
Re: If Popeye takes spinach, can he hold his own against Goku?
Pretty sure Popeye has toon-force.
Re: If Popeye takes spinach, can he hold his own against Goku?
At first I was like "Popeye's a brute with no formal training, he'd probably just barely make it into the 21st Tenkaichi Tournament" but I skimmed through Wikipedia just to make sure I wasn't incorrect about Popeye actually training, and stumbled upon this:
I believe this settles it; if the obstacle between Popeye and Olive is Goku, goodbye Goku. Also, Olive may be some level of planet thumper.Popeye's Wikipedia article wrote:Another is his near-saintly perseverance in overcoming any obstacle to please Olive, who often renounces Popeye for Bluto's dime-store advances. She is the only character that Popeye will permit to give him a thumping.

Popeye could beat Goku, Superman, and Saitama at the same time.

Logically Goku wins but for comedic purposes anything is possible. Hell, the battle could be joined by Action Bastard from Shin-chan and other such joke heroes to spice it up but the true winner would be Kim Jong-Un, who would nuke everyone in this ultimate showdown.

Rest assured, it would largely depend on how much time Popeye spent consuming spinach in the Room of Spirit and Time.

Re: If Popeye takes spinach, can he hold his own against Goku?
Would eating spinach count as a power-up by Goku? And if so, would it be so strong as to kill him if he were in SSJ3?
(also, kinda ironic that spinach of all things is what makes Popeye strong, given the Saiyan vegetable name pun thing!)

Unfortunately, I found this more sad than funny because of how true it is.

Characters have different level of toon force. From what I can remember is that Popeye knock away the Sun before with spinach.precita wrote:He'd be treated similar to Arale, another gag character who can go toe to toe with Super Saiyan Blue Goku.
