Since he's weaker than the original fatman, who was capable of fighting Super Saiyan 3 Goku to an extent, I don't think he's as strong as Kid Boo.
Actually it's not established if Fat Buu>Pure Evil Buu. Remember how Fat Buu's Ki increased every time he got angry? Well Fat Buu's Ki before splitting could have been on a completely different level than Fat Buu when he fought SSjin3 Goku.

I might revert back to Pure Evil Buu = Pure Buu because it seems to makes sense the most imo.
The main differences between them which are suggested are that Pure Evil Buu is waaaa~y more ruthless but he can't regenerate.

IMO Evil Buu laughing in the pic above is to show how he was pleased that he acquired the ability to regenerate via Mr Buu.

Well, we don't know for sure, he may be more durable, but we don't know if he can regenerate if he was turned to little bits.

That's not necessarily regeneration, just the elasticity of the body. The Pure Evil was formed from smoke, so I am tempted to believe he can regenerate. Remember that when a Boo is injuried, normally we actually see guts and perhaps blood, not just that blob.

I've got two battles that are kind of a bit different.

Raditz vs. Tenshinhan & Chaozu during the Saiyan arc (theoretically bumped up to the same Power Level that Goku & Piccolo were both at during the Saiyan arc).

and

Raditz vs. Kuririn vs. Yamcha during the Saiyan arc (theoretically bumped up to the same Power Level that Goku & Piccolo were at during the Saiyan arc).


Can the four remaining Z-Fighters somehow pull off the upset victory that Goku & Piccolo did in separate teams/scenarios? Note that Gohan is still in the Saiyan pod that Raditz put him in.

Raditz wins both matches. None of the others have techniques like the Makankosappo to kill him. Tenshinhan has the Kikoho but it wouldn't do much.

Well actually, Kuririn has the Kienzan.
Tenshinhan has the Kikoho but it wouldn't do much.
What is there to suggest the Kikoho isn't a gigantic enough boost to take down Raditz?

You sure about that? He showed it off after the 1 year training. I'm assuming that's when he developed it, so he wouldn't have it.

The fact that it did nothing against Nappa.

If Nappa was at 4,000, he's about double Tenshinhan's power and it did nothing. If Raditz was at 1,500 he'd be more than triple Tenshinhan (at Goku/Piccolo's level).

Nappa is incredible durable. Piccolo had almost twice the power of Tenshinhan and was astonished by the Kikoho.

He said that it would be Kuririn of the saiyan saga except for the battle powers, so he would have the Kienzan.

Gohan won't intervene if random people are getting the shit beat out of them.

Krillin and Yamcha might have a chance, but IIRC Tien and Chaozu don't know about the tail weakness.

It's still a larger gap between Raditz and Tenshinhan than it was between Nappa and Tenshinhan, so I don't think the Kikoho would help.

I thought when he said Saiyan Saga he meant the same time as the battle with Raditz. If Kurilin has the Kienzan, he's the only one who could win.

Tenshinhan learned about it in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai during the Goku vs Kuririn match.

If you think the kids are actually not far from #18 in Base, they should win both fights. However, it's a bit tough for me to compare the Base kids to Cooler. I'll just say normal Cooler loses and Shredder Cooler would win.

Right, I forgot, but then he also saw it instantly fail. I doubt he'd go for it as quickly as the Krillin-Yamcha team would.

Yeah, but Krillin felt it fail. Krillin might dismiss the idea from the get-go, since he knows it hadn't worked before. Since Raditz is supposedly a more advanced fighter than Goku was at the time, he might come to the conclusion that there is no way it could work.

I meant to say Final Form Cooler, which Goku says that he is stronger than Frieza.

Thanks for clarifying.

I'd still go with Cooler.
