If we see the fight in the movie 13, one Hildegarn single punch defeat and separates Gotenks and Gohan Mystic gets a beating.
Kakarotto get a hit in his face and laughs and also he stops the other punches.
Mmm I don't remember how many years have passed between Boo saga and the movie 13 to give any other conclusions; but yes, not necessarily stronger than Gohan and Gotenks.

Re: Gohan Strongest Unfused character.
As far as I'm concerned, Ultimate Gohan lost his powers here, so the Goku > Gohan theory only works in the not so trust worthy movie #13. But if your counting Buu Saga, theres really too many facts that favor Gohan. you can't deny him toying with Super Buu. He could have easily been destroyed. And let's not go into the Kid Buu > Super Buu theory either, that was debunked on like every forum on the internet.
And as mentioned countless times, movies are not canon to the original manga or even the Anime. Most of the movies are also slabbed right in the middle of the Cell saga / Buu Saga so these movies don't make any sense. the only movies that are canon are Bardock and Trunks movies.
And here's one example, remember Tree Of Might? That was a horrible movie, not to mention the story. This took place maybe a week after Goku defeated Vegeta, and Tien/Yamcha/Chaotsu are still on Earth even though they died in that battle with the saiyans. Don't think the movies can be any somewhat credible. Not saying you can't bring them up; I do like watching many of the movies myself and I admit that, but in a heated discussion on who is stronger, the movies will make a messy discussion.
And Piccolo being 18,000, Gohan being 10,000, and Goku being able to use Kaioken x20 before Namek Saga? Again, there's so many more examples I can pull out.

Re: Gohan Strongest Unfused character.
I'm all good with the whole "Bardock and Trunks are the only ones that work," but if you're going to trout out the, "THEY'RE CANON!" statement, how exactly do you reconcile that "TRUNKS THE STORY" in the manga and the TV special are drastically different, specifically with Trunks' ability to turn into a Super Saiyan? 'Cuz, ya' know, Toriyama drew the former. That's the baseline for canonicity, right? Toriyama drew it? In the manga? During its original serialization?
That's why I talk about "no set canon", because even if you don't bring newer concoctions into the mix (like "Battle of Gods"), you still have things like the Trunks story and revised kanzenban ending that contradict and change themselves around all from Toriyama's literal pen-on-paper.

Re: Gohan Strongest Unfused character.
IMO, Trunks Story on the manga was rather short, maybe a few pages at most? I think it was good what they did with that movie because the audience gets a more wholesome, longer and interesting version of his story. They literally only show Gohan trying to make him super saiyan, he dies, Trunks gets mad, then uses the Time Machine. you would think the Anime would want to do more than that.VegettoEX wrote:I'm all good with the whole "Bardock and Trunks are the only ones that work," but if you're going to trout out the, "THEY'RE CANON!" statement, how exactly do you reconcile that "TRUNKS THE STORY" in the manga and the TV special are drastically different, specifically with Trunks' ability to turn into a Super Saiyan?

Re: Gohan Strongest Unfused character.
Right. And that's totally fine.
Except then you're changing the definition most people use of "canon" ("Toriyama wrote it, and more specifically, wrote it first in the manga") to fit with what you like more instead of what reality is.
(Which, again, I don't even necessarily agree OR disagree with!)

Re: Gohan Strongest Unfused character.
Hildegarn wasn't a normal enemy, since he was powerful, huge, and had that ability that wasn't allowing the Z-Senshi to drop any good hits on him, until Goku discovered his weakness in the end. Now, as for the hits that Gotenks, Gohan, and Goku got:MDSTSSJ wrote:If we see the fight in the movie 13, one Hildegarn single punch defeat and separates Gotenks and Gohan Mystic gets a beating.
Kakarotto get a hit in his face and laughs and also he stops the other punches.
Gotenks was surprised from Hildegarn's transformation, and Hildegarn rushed at him, charged a punch, and gave him a powerful hit.
Gohan wasn't paying attention to Hildegarn, because he was worried about Goten & Trunks, when suddenly Hildegarn grabbed & squashed Gohan when he wasn't expecting it.
Goku had just discovered Hildegarn's weakness, and unlike Gotenks & Gohan, he was fully ready to take the hits (the hits were also weaker than the ones the other two got, since he didn't get a rushed, charged punch or got squashed by the tail, he just got hit by some normal punches), and if you pay attention, you will notice that Goku was taking damage from Hildegarn's hits, but was trying a lot to withstand him because "if he doesn't, who will?".

Re: Gohan Strongest Unfused character.
Yes, I totally agree with almost everything except " normal punches ". One thing is be fully ready to take Hildegarn hits and other thing is hit by surprised! Also Kakarotto encourages Hildegarn to hit him very hard as we can see and he stops the two last very hard punches.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Hildegarn wasn't a normal enemy, since he was powerful, huge, and had that ability that wasn't allowing the Z-Senshi to drop any good hits on him, until Goku discovered his weakness in the end.

In that movie, Kakarotto was chosen to defeat Hildegarn and he have enough power to do that. Mystic Gohan or Gotenks, also have the power to defeat him.

The movies always inflate Goku's power, though. Vegeta should be the strongest character in movies 5,6,7 and 8.

Re: Gohan Strongest Unfused character.
Vegeta didn't appear in Movie 5, and in Movie 8, he was a Super Saiyan Grade 2, while Goku was a Super Saiyan Full Power, and even though Goku probably wasn't as powerful as he was during the Cell Games, I can still see him stronger than Vegeta before his 2nd day inside the RoSaT.Rocketman wrote:Vegeta should be the strongest character in movies 5,6,7 and 8.
As for Movies 6 & 7, I haven't watched them recently so I don't remember if Goku was portrayed as the strongest of the two, but Goku & Vegeta defeated Coola together, and Merged #13 was defeated by SS Goku after absorbing a Genki Dama.
