:think:

That would make base Vegetto way stronger than incomplete Blue.

Not only that. He would be about equal to completed Blue as well.

Which would be stupid, but, not inaccurate to what DBS: Broly showed us.

Or you could say that at least there is a consistency in how strong fusions get in manga, anime and movie.

More or less. It is definitely consistent now, but in BoG the SSG transformation was deemed superior to fusion.

I honestly don't mind to fusion being really powerful, but equal to superior to Blue in just Base seems... excessive, I guess, to me. But it really doesn't matter.

IIRC in the anime they ate half senzu each.
No they had two Senzu left and they both ate one.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

To be fair, Fusions only became this strong once Goku and Vegeta themselves got this strong.

SSGod was superior to fusions back then, because Goku and Vegeta weren’t strong enough. They have evolved so much that even in normal form they can match Blue right now. If they happen to become even stronger than their current level their merged normal form should probably surpass Blue as well. Fusions have such a strange factor that it can’t be put in a simple 50-fold like Super Saiyan.

Are you suggesting that Fusions have a different multiplier for their forms? Because I can go with that. I actually had such a concept in mind prior to DBS Broly with the Z calculations.

I kinda ccept it now as Base Fusion being stronger than the most powerful form of both individuals. In Z it was SSJ3 and then the SSJ4 statement popped up and in Super it is Blue.

I’m saying that fusions don’t have a static multiplier. It will depend on how strong the base is. It could be lower, equal or greater than their strongest form. In this case, I think Base Gogeta/Vegetto match Blue, but they are still weaker than Blue powered-up by kaioken, Blue powered-up by Vegeta’s will, and Ultra Instinct.

I think they surpass Blue since Vegetto in Z surpassed SS3 in base.

Broly is also getting stronger as he fights according to preview info so he should be stronger after wrecking Freeza.

I don’t know if Base Vegetto was stronger than SS3, but anyway that instance doesn’t necessarily influence this one. Back then, their powerlevel could have been high enough that a fusion would result in something that rivals SS3.

Now, Broli and Gogeta have similar powers in SS, so their base is probably similar too. Broli didn’t have the stimulus to get stronger after fighting Freeza, because he was already stronger than him. Gogeta though pushed his limit ahead.

Daizenshuu aside, wasn't it clear that SS3 Goku was nowhere near Base Vegito or anything from the Fusion saga for that matter? he couldn't go higher than Kid Buu+Fat Buu tier (stronger theoretically but in practice he was pretty much like Kid Buu), he stated they would need Vegito to take on Super Buu (his SS3 was weaker than Gotenks's), also had a bad experience fighting Buutenks. I mean, how could SS3 Goku do as much damage to Buuhan as Base Vegito?

Maybe there could be a case in favour of SS3 Gotenks> Base Vegito, but no way with SS3 Goku.

He didn’t fight Super Buu absorbed Gotenks in the manga. Buu de-powered before then. And if we used the anime, Goku’s Super Saiyan 3 was above Gotenks’ Super Saiyan 3. So you need to stick to the manga.

If we stick to the manga there is no Base Vegito to begin with so there is no point going there.
About the anime, how did you get to that conclusion? when did SS3 Goku demonstrate to be above SS3 Gotenks? I'm assuming you don't buy that Kid Buu>> every Buu non-sense

Not exactly. It doesn’t specify in which form he is stronger than SS3. It’s likely talking about Super Vegetto, since all the other characteristics are noted when he is fighting Boo in that form.

The anime outright called Buu the strongest form of Buu at least twice in the sub, or at least heavily hinted as such. That and sources outside of the anime actually called Super Saiyan 3 Goku even with Ultimate Gohan or at least on par.

As for how strong Kid Buu is, I will just say this. The only thing that we have about Goku vs Super Buu is that Goku himself said he stood no chance. The problem is, Goku was a freaking lair in the Buu Saga. He said he was only even with Vegeta and he could never beat Buu if Vegeta couldn't which is why he wanted to fused with him, only for him to asspull Super Saiyan 3 a couple chapters later. Than when Piccolo outright asked him if he could have beating Buu if he went all out, Goku said probably not since Buu was stronger, only for him to turn around and tell Vegeta that he could have, but didn't for the sake of the next generation. So I don't see why I should take Goku on his word on Super Buu when he claimed Fat Buu was too much for him when later said that wasn't the case.

So you believe Ultimate Gohan is equal with SS3 Goku, ok. I don't.

Narration confirms Goku lied with reasons that he didn't want to use SSJ3 against Vegeta cause of the energy drain and he didn't want to beat fat Buu cause he wanted the next generation to be the savior's of earth since he was already dead. There is no plot point saying
Goku lied about Super Buu being out of his weight class like the other statements. Super Buu would waste Goku, that's a fact.
