Vegeta doesn't appear in Movie 5... And Goku already suprassed Vegeta in Movie 8 because of his mastery over the Super Saiyan form.

Not necessarily. I have been running off the idea that when you power up from the rested ssj state, your base power increases in conjunction. Since Gohan is in his base form and never powered up prior to his fight with Cell, He is only as powerful as his rested ssj state while Goku is at half his full power as a ssj in this movie.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

It almost seems as if Vegeta was weaker than even Piccolo in movie 8, his kick did nothing to Broly before he fully powered up.

Again, not necessarily. Gohan doesn't look as old as he is in the Cell Games, so he possibly hadn't surpassed Goku yet.

We shouldn't even discuss about this .

Goku is the hero , so of course he is the strongest.

Goku spend 10 years training after defeating Buu and 10 years is not a short period of time , and the different between him and Gohan was not that big even before 10 years so i think it's obvious ....



You said that Oob showed his real power after using the Kiai , and Goku took that attack with no damage and he was using 0.0025 % of his full power , so imagine his full power ......

It was big.

Kiai is not supposed to do much damage.

Directed at Kakarotto!

Kakarotto never fought seriously against Oob. He was always testing his power and pushing his limits. However, we can say after 10 years of non stop training, Kakarotto raised his power battle. After that ( training and teaching Oob ), it is reasonable to assume that Kakarotto increased a lot more his powers because Obb is one hell of a sparring. This is my thought! :mrgreen:

Kakarotto is a Hero but not always was the strongest.

Because that name is the Goku real name. Not pretty but not so horrible. Not condemn me for calling him Kakarotto je je. :wink:

Originally, the main protagonist of the Boo arc was Gohan (along with Goten & Trunks), and it seems that Toriyama intended Ultimate Gohan (possibly together with SS3 Gotenks) to be the one who would defeat Boo, but changed his mind at the last moment and decided that the one who would save the day would be Goku again. Which is why Toriyama made Boo revert back to Pure Boo, so that Goku will have a villain at his level, since Evil Boo was way stronger than SS3 Goku.

Never in the history of the Dragon Ball (manga) has anyone, ever, become over 400 times stronger by just training on Earth. You are saying that Goku became more than 400 times stronger without transforming, without weigh/gravity training, without near-death power-ups, without getting his dormant power unleashed by a god or a godly item, and without entering inside the Room of Spirit & Time. Because there is no indication that any of these happened. We know that relaxed Oob isn't anything special, we saw Oob getting stronger when he first got angry, and Daizenshuu confirmed that Oob got even stronger when he threw his Kiai.
GoKu.SaMa wrote:You said that Oob showed his real power after using the Kiai , and Goku took that attack with no damage and he was using 0.0025 % of his full power , so imagine his full power ......
Goku was most likely going all out against Oob when he got angry, since Oob (pre-Kiai) was shown to be stronger than Goku. And the Kiai isn't a very powerful attack, it just throws an intense shockwave made of invisible ki. Goku won't die from just that.

For comparison, look at the damage that Goku's punch did to Jheece (who was much weaker than Goku):

Then look at the damage that Goku's Kiai did to Jheece & Butta:

The punch made his nose bleed, while the Kiai just sent them away.

Yes, Super Boo ( Evil Boo ) is stronger than Kakarotto.

We know nothing about Kakarotto's training during those 10 years. But we know that he alone is able to find the path to exceed their power limits. Remember my friend, Kakarotto gave the Time Room training idea in the Cell arc, he gave the idea to maintain the SSJ state after leaving the Time Room, he gave the Fusion idea in the Boo's arc, etc. As I said on another occasion, it si very conceivable that Kakarotto increased his powers. 400 times stronger, maybe no but 10 years of traning a lot can happen. After that, 400 times stronger training with Oob? Maybe yes!

Kakarotto never fought seriously against Oob. He was always testing power and pushing Oob's limits.

That's true, but we have seen lots of times how strong they can get after training only, so we can guess about how much stronger he got. He trained for 7 years in Heaven with Kaio, and did weight training, and the only thing he could manage is to surpass SS2 Gohan from the Cell Games, and not by much.

From what we know, the only possible way for base Goku to have gotten so much stronger is with the help of Rou Kaioshin's ability, but it doesn't seem to be the case, since Goku doesn't have any of Ultimate Gohan's characteristics, and looks exactly the same as he always did.
MDSTSSJ wrote:Kakarotto never fought seriously against Oob. He was always testing power and pushing Oob's limits.
It's true that he was testing Oob, but he seemed serious to me. Oob's kick hurt Goku's arm, he barely dodged Oob's punch, and when their hits clashed... just look at the ring's condition.

What about SSJ3 transformation? He achieve SSJ3 in the Other World too.

Mmm 7 years with Kaio and a lot of power gained. After that time, 10 years having more ideas than before to achieve even more power. That's my toughts!! :think: What do you think?

Yeah, except for counting SS3, he surpassed SS2 Gohan. :P

Anyway, I believe that Goku became about 3 times more powerful at most, which is a very big power up. I can't see him getting such an insane power up, because training doesn't multiply your power, it adds more power.

We must also remember that Gohan lost power in that period of time; and with more reason and training, Kakarotto's ends up being the strongest!
