Wait. Didn't Kaioken Vegetto Blue failed to beat that evil Saiyan?

How the hell will Gogeta beat Hearts?

I believe that we can have a couple of excuses as to why everyone performs like this. With just some thought it can make sense. And of course you have to nerf an old character for the sake of presenting a new one who is also regarded strong, or else Jiren would pretty much be the answer to the entire roaster of Super 2. Like have him beat up everyone since he is above any GoD.

Simply, hearts is so over powered in comparison to everyone else that everyone pretty much performs the same against him

if people scream nerfed at jiren, then others are allowed to scream nerfed at vegito blue.
there is no cherry picking.

but hearts is just so powerful that Jiren and hit are the same to him

Exactly. Same way Base Cumber was so strong SSG Goku and SSBKK Vegito were the same :)

Anyways. I just read the latest manga chapter and the bit about Gohan being the strongest on Earth threw me off a bit. iirc Goku said 17 was as strong as him. Shouldn't that make Gohan weaker than 17 by default?

Well, if we look towards the anime for extra clarification, it does seem like 17 and Gohan are around the same level of raw power.

It's not a stretch to think that they're relative equals in both mediums.

pretty much. tho in the arcade version, even ssj cumber couldnt defeat ssb vegito (no kaioken). so it depends on witch iteration you are talking about. ssbkk vegito was able to fight on par with golden great ape cumber in the manga. that is an insane feat.

For Cumber, right?

The crazier thing about this is that, if we follow proper scaling, that makes Cumber stronger than both Broly, Gogeta and all Gods of Destruction.

Goku used the words 17 is just about as strong as us ( Vegeta standing right there) which implied he was in the same tier as them just like Gohan, so Goku never said 17 was exactly strong as him.

If Vegetto is stronger than those people, which we don’t know yet.

If we agree that Broly is, at least, on par with Beerus, then yeah. Gogeta wiped the floor with Broly in Blue, and this arc happened after Broly's movie, so Vegito had to be equal to Gogeta in all forms.

Honestly I don't think they gave much thought to those things, since Jiren being all casual and shit still managed to kick Cumber's ass.

We don’t know how Vegetto compares to Gogeta. He might be weaker, considering how incredibly difficult is to perform a perfect Fusion.

But there's no "perfect fusion" apart for the right way to do it, as far as the franchise bothered to explain. Do it wrong and you get a botched version of the fusion fighter.

The dance needs the fusees to be equals, including in strength, but the potara do not. So with Goku and Vegeta being equals, Gogeta is equal to Vegito. If one fusee is weaker than the other, then Vegito will be stronger. Both mechanics were explained in the Buu Saga.

pretty much every time they are compared in side materials, they are called equals.
No reason to believe one is weaker than the other.

If anything, the one thing making Gogeta "less good" is he need the fusion dance, arguably a more cumbersome method of fusion compared to Potara

I’m talking about the extreme in-sync state their minds have to attain to result in a perfectly performed Fusion, which is what supplemental stuff usually talks about when comparing it with the Potara, which doesn’t have that special trait. The original manga doesn’t explain how they compare.

They are advertised as equally matched trump cards, but considering Fusion has that drawback and lasts half the time of Potara, being a more powerful version should even things out. That debate is better detailed at Herms’ twitter.

I think Gogeta will not defeat Hearts, mot likely Goku will go UI again.

Having the same power level is fusion requirement, not fusion result power level.
DBS anime is a fan service series that delivers irrelevant dialogue, inconsistent writing, and lazy designs.

The DB manga never had so many mistakes, nor those were this constant.

This question is about the manga, which I will make time to re-read it soon, but I want opinions:

Is Manga Jiren stronger than Manga Beerus?
does he have any feats to put him above him?

they both stomped Perfect Blue Vegeta IIRC, but I don't remember much from the manga, that's why I need to re-visit it again.
