I think at this point Goku is getting pretty darn close to matching Gotenks' power, but isn't quite there yet. Even if he was caught up, he'd likely run into the same problems with Super Saiyan 3's energy drain as when against Pure Boo. Either way, Goku puts up a good fight but loses.

Give him another 5-10 years, though...

I don't really like gt, but here goes. Logically Syn Shenron should be stronger than every villain up to that point, so i give it to him.

GT Trunks destroys Chibi Trunks with the air current he generates by blinking IMO.

He's at least somewhat relevant to GT Goku and is implied to be close to GT Gohan, who the GT Perfect Files says is above Ultimate Gohan in base. Not to mention he has SSjin 2 while Chibi Trunks doesn't.

As far I remember the Perfect Files only mention that Gohan keep training, and doesn't mention his "Mightiest Warrior" form or anything (while in fact it appears that GT simply ignored such a thing).

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Whatever power gains Gokuu would've made in those 10 years bumming around on Earth without sparring partners (or at least, not ones that can really boost his strength up that much; Goten and Pan are still far beneath him, and after the time-skip, we see that Goten is lying on the ground heavily panting, while Gokuu is standing up looking fine) would've been negligible. Even if Gokuu managed to minimize the energy strain of SS3, Boo's still much stronger than him and has regeneration. So Boo would win.

He transformed when fighting with Goten after Goten had been taken over by Baby!! It seems that even in times of peace, he hasn’t neglected his training. The differences in Gohan’s facial expressions before and after transforming are the most intense out of any warrior!!
Since Gohan kept training, it only makes sense that his base form is above his Mightiest of Warriors form from Z and that he simply regained SSjin and SSjin 2 on top of it from training IMO.

The only argument for him losing it is that it "atrophied" from laziness, but that is impossible if he didn't neglect his training.

GT Base Gohan was also able to put up a fight against General Rild, who was stated to be stronger than some form of Boo, which is most likely Gohan-Boo considering how much Base Goku had powered up by then IMO.
DBZGTKOSDH wrote:He what?!
He definitely has SSjin 2 IMO. He went into some form of SSjin when Baby tried to possess him and had an electrical aura reminiscent of SSjin 2.

Plus when he tried to fight Golden Great Ape Vegeta-Baby, he punched him many times in SSjin without the slightest effect, then did some quick power-up that caused his aura to distinctly change and become far more robust/flamelike, and he is now capable of budging Baby's head back a good deal.

It's definitely debateable, especially since the GT Perfect Files seems to think nobody ever went SSjin 2 in GT, but I personally feel those two instances are strong proof of Trunks being a SSjin 2.

Aren't Toei quite inconsistent with their portrayals of auras and lightning, though? That's why we had that confusion with Gohan being SS in DBZ Movie #10, when the design sheets show him as SS2.

Gohan wasn't a SSJ2. The movie copied and pasted his design from the World Tournament arc. Gohan never became a SSJ2 in the Great Saiyaman arc. Also the hair in both arcs are different. Gohan's hair in the world tournament arc is sharper and longer. Also Gohan's SSJ2 and MSSJ have the same hairstyle regardless as shown in the Dabura fight. For Gohan to be a SSJ2 in the Tournament arc he needs that nice erratic aura and/or the sparks. IN Movie 10 Gohan had a lighter aura and no sparks. Some may say that Goku is seen with no sparks/aura. Well the difference between Goku's SSJ and SSJ2 are fairly easy to differentiate between. Gohan's is not.

But I think there is a big difference beetween that small piece of information and "the GT Perfect Files says [GT Gohan] is above Ultimate Gohan in base".

Oh well, but the anime always had problem in showing any significant difference beetween regular Saiyans and Super Saiyans.

I mean, if we go by the manga, if Goku was about to fight an opponent much stronger than him, he would use his strongest form right from the beggining, or the enemy would defeat him at the first attack. But if we go by the anime, Goku would fight evenly in his regular form for twenty minutes, then transform in Super Saiyan to get the upper hand for ten minutes, and finally use Super Saiyan 3 to realize he is no match for the enemy in the last minute...

First of all. Stop using videos from "dragonball fights" to try to prove your case. When that video already has holes in itself. Furthermore, the fact that he blocks people who comment on his videos, as well as chooses what to accept should already prove his credibility. IE none.

As far as the whole thing(MOVIE 10) goes..he was a Ssj2. End of story. Gohan had two different designs in the movie. It was literally shown that base gohan has two bangs. Ssj2 gohan has one bang. During the beam struggle, he literally has two bangs. In the anime(Pre WT), Gohan was shown with two bangs of hair.

Trying to discredit Goku as having no sparks to try to make a case..is silly. The fact remains that Toei is inconsistent. with lightning. You have ssj2 Goku+Ssj3 Goku having no sparks in Movie 13. Yet Ssj3 Gotenks having sparks. The whole mess proves that Toei animation is inconsistent with lightning in general. Using the case of "they copied and pasted his design from the WT" does not work at all in this case. Considering that if you looked in the beam struggle , he is literally shown with two bangs. Yet during his fight with Broly..shown with one. That alone pretty much discredits that "they copied and pasted his design! So one bang doesn't matter!". If you are going to try to use the "Well Gohan had two bangs at the end of the Broly fight"....Well it's simple. He went from Ssj2..to Ssj1(two bangs) to base.

The idea that "Gohan didn't neglect his training" in and of itself already makes me wonder if Toei's writers had paid any attention whatsoever to the manga.

I'm sure that if he was SSJ2, then the Perfect Files would have noted it. Besides, even Goku Jr. had electric aura, and he defenately wasn't SSJ2, as his hair was SSJ Goku-style, and not SSJ2 Goku-style. Toei just doesn't know where to place the electric aura. :P

EDIT:
As for the Bra vs SSJ3 Goku...
Goku wins easily. Bra could be very strong in terms of raw power, maybe close to Boo arc SSJ Goku, but even if Bra was near SSJ3 Goku's power, Goku is waaaaaay more skillfull, and skill counts a lot in this case. From what we know, Bra can only use Bukujutsu, and she may not even know how to fight.

I believe Goku powered up considerably over the ten years of training. In the Boo saga, Goku was adamant about not even attempting to challenge Super Boo, even with Vegeta. Now after Pure Boo was killed, when Vegeta was going to finish off Fat Boo fearing another "Evil" Boo appearing in the future, Goku stated that they would get stronger so they can fight again if they have to.

I think Goku would have raised his power to at least super boo's level. It just makes sense to me for him to reach that level of power over ten years of training knowing the extent of Boos power. I used to believe that by the end of Z, Goku was stronger than Gohan. I'm not so sure anymore ( Gohans power was just too "wtf out there", his potential power is probably far deeper than Goku anyway ), but Ssj3 Goku at the end of Z is at least = Super Boo, imo.

I think Goku wins with extreme difficulties. It would be an incredible fight imo.
