No they weren't stated to be equals in 123. The only statement comparing them is the director's statement which states that SSBE is an equal power to SSB Kaioken. So if Vegeta is at most Goku's equal after everything is said and done, then he was weaker before.zarmack wrote:1. SSBE Vegeta and SSBKKx20 Goku were portrayed and stated to be equals in ep.123, which was before Vegeta got that extra power boost against GoD Toppo.supersaiyangodgogeta wrote:He's officially stated to be no stronger than that level.

He got a rage boost.
The fusions can't beat a GoD with just Super Saiyan. They need Blue.
SSJ Gogeta can defeat a God of Destruction. Blue is overkill.
2. Gods of Destruction are not all equal in power, there is no single GoD level. Toppo is likely stronger then Sidra.
3. You are making the false assumption that SSBKKx20 Goku had the same strength throughout the whole ToP, when in reality the one in ep.123 and beyond is way stronger than the 1st UI Omen.
There are no significant differences between the Gods. None of them can stomp the others as shown so if you can stomp any of them you can stomp all of them.
And no it isn't a false assumption that SSB Kaioken Goku was the same strength throughout the tournament. It isn't stated that he got any stronger outside of Ultra Instinct.
