Re: BoG Strength Run-Down
The only significant fruits of all of that post-Freeza training and improvement that were shown were the attainment and mastery of new transformations. He never really uses his base form again, even to fight even lower minions. I mean, yeah there's Uub at the end, but he was still a boy who didn't know how to use his power.Thanos wrote:It would undermine all the years of training and improvement Goku has gone through since beating Freeza. Yeah, no.
What I'm getting at is that I don't see why it's necessary for Goku's base form to have ever surpassed 120,000,000.

When was Goku shown to have gotten 50 times stronger without transformations after Freeza? That was only in GT.Thanos wrote:It would undermine all the years of training and improvement Goku has gone through since beating Freeza. Yeah, no.

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. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world.

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.
Re: BoG Strength Run-Down
Sounds like the scene is a gag scene after all and its only temporary. Same could be applied to basically every character.The scene where Vegeta casts aside his pride for everyone’s sake was shocking. To think he’d go that far. (laughs)
I thought people might even get angry at me, but in the video, it was even sillier than I’d imagined. (laughs) But in the story Toriyama-sensei made, Vegeta was supposed to waver, and there’s even a moment where Vegeta briefly surpasses Goku because he’s got something to protect in Bulma, so that silly scene was also necessary as a lead-in to make it stand out.

Uub has rage boost, which makes him unconsciously tap into Pure Buu's power. (Similar to Gohan's Rage boosts)
Thus Goku, takes him away so that he can control this power and make it grow even higher.

Re: BoG Strength Run-Down
So Toriyama had wrote Vegeta to be more powerful than Goku for a short period of time. I wonder if he's behind Beers saying that Vegeta, and Goku will be formidable in the future. 
Re: BoG Strength Run-Down
Excellent work, as always.
This helps clarify and reinforce a few ambiguous ideas for me in the manga. Now that the concept of beings with higher status holding special properties in their ki has become more officially clear, it throws light on the whole Kaioshin-Kibito situation; why they weren't able to truly grasp their ki at the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai, and Dabura distinctly stating how they couldn't use the pair's energy for the revival of Buu.
Also, the statement of Goku's base power being inferior to Freeza's ties in to Kaioshin's comment on how his kin could defeat someone of Freeza's level in a single blow and Goku's reaction displaying that of amazement, despite it being a seemingly simple feat for him as a Super Saiyan. It really puts things into perspective concerning their power, since most fans I see will just take for granted there being any real limits and always assume they only keep growing stronger.

Yes he taps into Buu's power, but how much of it he could/did tap into right then is unspecified, and is nothing more than speculation.mistershin wrote:Goku vs Uub ?DBZGTKOSDH wrote:When was Goku shown to have gotten 50 times stronger without transformations after Freeza?

Re: BoG Strength Run-Down
That line makes no sense. Vegeta can't be formidable unless he becomes SSJ God. And knowing Toriyama. I blame the script writer nonsensical for that line.Saiyan Prince Vegeta wrote:So Toriyama had wrote Vegeta to be more powerful than Goku for a short period of time.

Re: BoG Strength Run-Down
How does Oob being able to tap into Boo's power imply that he even surpassed Freeza in the first place? Oob obviously didn't tap into all of his potential power and his only canonical fight was with Goku whose base power we don't know, nor do we know what degree of effort/power he (Goku) was using. I don't see how this implies above Freeza's level at all, there just isn't enough information to draw a conclusion from.mistershin wrote:Goku vs Uub ?DBZGTKOSDH wrote:When was Goku shown to have gotten 50 times stronger without transformations after Freeza?

Re: BoG Strength Run-Down
If SSJG is a pure blood only transformation then Beers line will make sense. If not, then I dunno.
I'm not fussed though, I get to see Vegeta do something. 
Re: Goku vs Oob
Well in this movie Goku absorbs the "other realm", so him being above Freeza then isn't unbelievable at all, hell, he seems to be more powerful than his SSJ3 self so he should be able to take on Boo too.

If its confirmed SSJG is pure blood only then yeah it does make sense. Though how does a pure blood form allow half saiyan power.Saiyan Prince Vegeta wrote:If SSJG is a pure blood only transformation then Beers line will make sense.

I'm pretty sure that silly scene is the Vegeta dance sequence and him trying to stay on the good side of Beers.

Same applies to SSJ4.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what gets confirmed, or doesn't.

Re: BoG Strength Run-Down
Isn't Buu saga base Goku stronger than Buu saga Piccollo who would one-shot Frieza?
Then again this wouldn't be the first time Goku's base form power has been underestimated like in the saiyan saga when Vegeta and Nappa though his PL was only 5000, in the Namek saga when the Ginyu force thought his PL was only 5000, in Yo! Son Goku and Friends return when Tarble thought he would be too weak to beat Avo and Cado when bast Trunks and Goten could do it easily.
