I can promise you, the only reason I keep arguing is because wondering how you can think the idea of Goku trying to have his cake and eat it too by pretending to fight evenly with him is on any way contradictory and wondering if I'm having a stroke.
If you had maybe clearly explained why Goku might not try to do both of those things instead of trying so hard gotcha on me that you fail to actually make sense, we wouldn't be here.
And I can promise you,
that has in fact been responded. So I don’t know why keep “wondering” when you could just read the explanation but it’s clear you didn’t even try, otherwise you would be specific about what you disagree with from what I said and you’re not doing that.
And I don’t know what you mean with the “gotcha” thing. I don’t need to “try hard” to point out something as transparent as the fact that you’re weirdly fixated on this (while pointing at me about it) and stubbornly avoiding the bigger picture I keep bringing up. There is no “gotcha” either about answering you that the “lying” thing you're clinged to has nothing to do with what I find absurd about your notion. And that there is no “cake to have and eat too”, there is one situation that has all the most obvious, best results, hence no sense in choosing the option that’s damaging in every aspect.
I also said that that is MY interpretation of that specific scenario. And that as much as you have the right to view it differently, you don’t have the right to use YOUR headcanon to make factual determinations (in this case, to make the affirmation that Goku was being negligent and not simply being cautious, which is MY view).
And most importantly I also said that this is a miniscule point for us to be focused on to this degree and if anything should make you "wonder if you’re having a stroke” is the fact that you STILL are in this reply.

Hey dva_raza
I just noticed you used a video clip in spanish, I was thinking it was the american one where they say goku's father is a scientist, because that way anything can be xDD. Ok so, using the same video you quote:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFwr28Ia6is EVEN THERE IS SAID, vegeta says at minute 02:00
"Pensé detenidamente y se me ocurrió esta idea "si me dejaba manipular por ese sujeto pelearía contigo kakaroto" "me imagine que con esto desapareceria la diferencia de poderes"
in english: "I thought carefully and this idea occurred to me "if I let myself be manipulated by that guy I would fight you kakaroto" "I imagined that with this the difference in powers would disappear"
So, he says about fighting him first because it was the MAIN reason, then he says "to match the difference in power" so you see in all cases we are BOTH correct, you did not need to say what I said was "FALSE" amigo.
Lol..dude..the reason I timestamped
specifically 2:09 and not the first part of his speech is because YOU DENIED Vegeta doing it for power:
No.Vegeta did not think Goku had more power than him, he (AS ALWAYS) thought himself was either a match or stronger than Goku. He did not allowed the possession to increase power
You also said Vegeta got possessed because
"goku would not fight him". Which is why I said that was false.
If what you meant to say is Vegeta didn't want to
wait for it, or that he just wanted to have things on his own terms then, again, that's correct and nobody denied that
Vgeta had been doing at Capsule Corp for the past 7 years. That fight was very important to Vegeta due to those reasons, because of his ego and as warrior. For him Majin Buu and was taking that chance away from him and that is the reason why he allowed the posession, it was an act of despair, he was desperate.
LOL again, what are you talking about? Majin Buu wasn't taking anybody's "chance away" - Majin Buu was
SECONDS AWAY from being eliminated in his egg. He had not presented any sort of threat to Vegeta's plan to fight Goku by that point.
Whatever time they had spent on that situation, there was still more than enough left for them to have their fight after it and if Vegeta really wanted to put to test his 7 years of training he could have done exactly that.
He didn’t do it because he didn’t want to do it the honorable way. Just that. He didn’t want to fight if he knew he was gonna lose, so he cheated to get power and to become unchained and fight as the evil Saiyan he used to be. So what's your point with all the argument exactly, are you somehow denying that what he did was evil?

Well, if the very act of Vegeta's possession was the thing that let Boo out, you'd have a point there. Like if
literally all it took was an M on his forehead to release him. But that's not what let Boo out.
I understand that point. But you’re missing the fact that I’m not (never was) talking about the aspect of –what went on- between Vegeta and Goku once he got possessed.
I’m pointing out specifically that the instant Vegeta decided to allow himself to be possessed, he prevented the threat’s elimination as it was supposed to happen within minutes. He sabotaged what was a done deal and he takes a 100% the blame for that.
Sure, Vegeta letting himself get possessed forced them to scrap Kaioshin's "Plan A". Vegeta is 100% culpable for getting Kaioshin's "Plan A" scrapped. That's not in dispute. If that's all you were arguing, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
No it’s not all I’m arguing. I’m saying that “plan A” (as you call it) being sabotaged caused Buu’s eventual release.
But you were talking about Boo's release in your initial reply to me
Still am. I am talking about who is responsable for “Buu being released”, exactly that.
Kaioshin's "Plan A" being scrapped and Boo getting released are two different things.
Lol no. They are not different things. That's kinda the whole point here.
I mean for starters there wasn’t such thing as a “plan A” and “plan B”, lets establish that. There was one plan, which got sabotaged.
What happened AFTER that isn’t a plan and there is no separation, it’s one same situation that evolved into the mess that it did because one person deliberately prevented the threat being killed.
I don’t understand the abstract separation you’re making.
What exactly happened was: One action, from one person, caused chaos. That chaos subsequently led to Buus release. That’s it.
I’m simply going from starting point - to ending point. While most of you are dwelling in it’s MIDDLE.
Basically the way you’re reasoning this, is you are attributing Buu’s release to the things that went on in the middle of the chaos, while I’m attributing Buu’s realease to what happened initially, since what happened inicially is directly what caused that chaos you are al dwelling in in the first place.
"Plan A" being scrapped and Vegeta getting an M on his forehead were not enough to release Boo. You say you understand this point.
Maybe things got confused when I said “i understand your point”.
What I meant is that I understand your reasoning process here, but I followed by saying you’re missing an aspect (which invalidates that reasononing)
I was just pointing out that I wasn't arguing that Vegeta “being possessed” caused Buus subsequent release. But Vegeta being possessed is what stopped Buu from being eliminated when he should have been. Therefore created a situation that led to his release.
he's not responsible for how Goku held up his end of following "Plan B". Goku did not defeat Vegeta as soon as possible (let alone at all). His failure to see "Plan B" through to the end is on him, because we learn that he could have seen it through to the end once Super Saiyan 3 is introduced as having been in his back pocket the whole time.
This is a point I expanded on with jjgp1112. I said that your argument about Goku being negligent in that situation is based on literal headcanons.
As dumb as you might find that Goku didn't use SS3, that doesn’t make him a failure in seeing a “plan B”. For Goku it wasn't as obvious as it is for you. Saving it for lack of knowledge about how things will transpire and not knowing if Vegeta might kill him if he begins to transform, not knowing how long he would maintain it in time to kill Buu, etc, is totally reasonable.
And this is important because I also repeat, there’s a difference between being negligent and –not being able to resolve something in the best way-. And I see Goku’s situation fits the latter more.
You can’t make the factual determination that Goku “could have seen it through to the end”, we can’t know that.
Although what’s worth mentioning is that according to
super michael’s mention of the manga, things seem to be more aligned with MY interpretation, which is simply: he wanted to save time. And including someone in the blame about an issue they didn’t start and also
tried their BEST to resolve is basically unnecessary pettiness.

Your arguments completely failed the moment you tried comparing a mass fire to a sentient being with agency. "I have no reason to put out a fire around me that I didn't start" is basically what your arguments amount too.
And since I never said anything reflective of that phrase, no, my arguments did not ‘completely fail’, and everything stands exactly the same.
You making up, changing or adding random elements to the example I presented, just like Gaffer already did previously,
obviously doesn’t qualify as my argument “failing”.
I’ve no idea where you came up with a notion like: “I have no reason to put out a fire around me that I didn't start”? but it’s not even remotely close to any idea I argued at any point.
So no, that is most definitley NOT “basically what my arguments amount to”. That is a random phrase you made up.
What I said is,
1. The firemen were unable to put out the fire. (Meaning: They did their job. But were simply unsuccesful.)
2. You don’t blame the firemen for the fire having been started. The fire was started by the person who started it.
I’ve said this a million times, but this is not in the least a complicated enough concept for you or anybody be circling around or pretending to have something to argue against.
And I’m saying “pretending” because if you actually did have something to argue about it, you wouldn’t be making up your own versions of it and strawmanning in such an ridiculously obvious way. If you wanna read that part again and THEN make a coherent reply with your thoughts about it, great. But if the only way you have an “argument” is by having to make up nonsense that were never said that is just you being dishonest and wasting time.
I've said it once and ill say it again, when you are caught in the middle of a potential disaster or conflict that involves you and you completely have the power or ability to completely stop said disaster or conflict from ever happening yet choose instead to let it happen for whatever reason, then you also become accountable for it happening whether you like it or not.
Yeah and I had dismissed that example since it obviously doesn’t apply to the situation we’re talking about. But I’ll respond now.
A natural disaster is supposed to be stopped/prevented/resolved by people that are in charge of exactly that.
Since there isn’t anybody who
caused the natural disaster, it caused itself, you blame whoever didn’t stop/prevent/resolve it.
In a scenario of A PERSON CAUSING a chaos, THAT PERSON gets 100% of the blame for CAUSING that chaos.
Whether other people were able to RESOLVE that issue that another person started, is irrelevant to the question of : WHO started the issue. (Which is a nonexistent aspect in the case of a natural disaster, since nobody caused it).
There's not a single person in this entire thread trying to argue that Vegeta shouldn't be blamed for anything lol,
“Lol” and I never said anybody was. So I don’t know what is the purpose with this phrase
you and many others get triggered at the mere suggestion of the fact that Goku also deserves blame for happened in the Buu saga.
Well, because that mere suggestion is inaccurate and I always get triggered when inaccurate things are being affirmed. Just that.
Goku knew exactly what he was doing and what was at stake, yet choose to let it all play out anyway,
I’ve said this already. Listen carefully, cause this is 100% A FACT:
--That is only your interpretation--
Meaning, it is not a fact that that is what he did.
That is one (valid) way of viewing something, but there is also, OTHER, also valid, ways of viewing it.
I already went in depth about how that situation can be seen in a totally different way and how he actually had every motive to believe that using SS3 wasn’t the best idea and therefore abstained from risking a worse outcome. Again, you CAN disagree and have your own take on this, but you can’t use subjective interpretations when arguing facts, which is what we are doing now, and AFFIRM Goku acted irresponsibly when that’s not necessarily the case (and I truly don’t think that’s the case).
