But Goku was surprised with its existence, not its feeling.

So, DBZ: Battle of Gods - Special Edition is over, and in a new scene, after Beerus defeated SS3 Goku, Goku says that he wouldn't be able to beat Beerus even if he was to merge with Vegeta, confirming that Beerus is stronger than SS3 Vegetto.

Not necessarily. The logic I see some people use for a hypothetical Gogeta in the Boo arc is that the characters weren't considering Super Saiyan 3, just Super Saiyan 1. So if that can be used there, why not here? Or the opposite of that, which would be if the characters were considering Super Saiyan 3, why not in the Boo arc? But I don't really want to mess with that whole Gogeta debate here. Just putting that out there.

Julian did say "probably" in his tweet. We should also probably wait for a more detailed summary of the new stuff, this line included, before diving into it too deeply. We could have another "maybe, maybe not" thing on our hands, like with the Vegetto/SSJ4 thing, where Super Saiyan (1/2/3) Vegetto MIGHT be able to tackle Beerus, but no guarantees.

I think you are not confusing this with not considering SS3 for Gotenks to beat Fat Boo. Which makes sense, because SS3 wasn't needed for Gotenks to beat him, and because neither could Gotenks, nor could Goten or Trunks turn into Super Saiyan 3.
Kaboom wrote:Julian did say "probably" in his tweet.
Well, of course Goku shouldn't be able to tell for sure since he never tried to merge with Vegeta & fight Beerus to confirm this, but it's very likely that if they had merged, they wouldn't be able to beat him.

Well, that's the thing. Gotenks wasn't capable of such a thing, and neither were the boys so we had no reason to come to that conclusion at the time; it's only way later on that Gotenks displayed the ability. Gogeta likely would've been considering Goku's knowledge and ability to use the form already.

Or that he's just stronger than the far, far, far weaker SS3 Gogeta.

I think it's safe to assume Beerus was above SSJ3 Vegetto, if Goku thought about fusion then discarded to use it, he could guess how powerful could he be as Vegetto. Goku has very reliable sense of judgement in fight issues!

Wait, what was your point again? That they would only consider Super Saiyan and not Super Saiyan 3? Why wouldn't they consider SS3?

If that was the case, Goku would have said something like "even if I use Fusion with Vegeta, we would probably not beat him". But all he said was that they would probably be unable to beat him if they had merged in general. And when they merge in general, they become either Gogeta, or Vegetto.

He just said "merged", which could be referring to Gogeta, Vegetto, or both. However, since all of the Potara earrings are broken at this point, it just as easily could refer to just Gogeta.

No, they aren't all broken. Kibito was show to be capable of creating them when he gave Gohan the Kaioshin outfit, and both Kibitoshin and Elder Kaioshin have Potara in Battle of Gods.

Given the way the earrings are treated, I assume that they can't just spawn them whenever they want, so those are just fakes.

Fakes? Really? C'mon man...

If anything Rou Kaioshin and East Kaioshin's shock comes from Goku and Vegeta refusing to fuse at all not because the super rare gems were broken. Like others have said they can easily be restored but given Goku's a and Vegeta's train of thought at the time, even if they made a hundred pairs they still would've refused to fuse.

That's just it, you're assuming, but there is absolutely nothing in the series that supports that assumption. So the earrings are treated like some sacred object and the Kaioshin freak out when they're smashed (whether that's because the earrings were destroyed or because the Saiyans don't want to use them is debatable). It's not the first time something was treated as sacred or legendary in the series, but became commonplace after being introduced though.

Even if you want to take that route in thinking, all the earrings still aren't broken. There were six during the Buu Arc, worn by Kibito, East Kaioshin and Elder Kaioshin. The two that Kibito and Kaioshin took off to fuse were never smashed.

Forgot about Old Kai's. I remember three being crushed (two inside Buu's body, one by Vegeta after), so they should still be able to fuse. Beerus > SS3 Vegetto then.

If Goku could estimate how strong SS Gotenks would be, then he should be able to estimate SS3 Vegetto's power as well.

Kibitoshin still has them. And even if they were fakes (you can't prove that), they could easily wish for new ones with the DBs. So, since Goku was talking in general, there is no reason to assume that he isn't including Vegetto.

Actually, Rou Kaioshin doesn't have them.

How are they treated? Since all 6 Kaioshin we've seen had them, and even an attendant, they don't sound like they are hard to obtain.

I don't think the "merge" word means the same like the fusion does. Merging with Vegeta means more to become Vegetto if there is a word in Japanese for merging! And do not forget that Gogeta was anime-only character. I'm not saying Goku and Vegeta could have not known how to perform tha fusion dance, but it's safer to use the potaras. I can give credit that Goku would be able to used the potaras in that case if that was reasonable, but Goku said it wasn't. I think for Goku was clear after withnessing how easily was he defeated by Beerus than he can not be that strong and fast even being Vegetto.
