Not exactly. Vegeta hears that SS3 Goku was beaten by Beers with only 2 blows, and concludes that no one on Earth should be strong enough to beat Beers. This could either mean that Goku is the strongest, or than Gohan and/or Gotenks are stronger, but not strong enough to beat Goku with 2 blows. Personally, I choose the second one.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

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 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.

Vegeta hears that Goku was beaten and was surprised because he thought he could beat Bills. That has nothing to do with Gohan and Gotenks. Furthermore, Bills puts more power in Gohan.

The film Battle of the Gods is not part of the continuity of the original manga? If the film is an integral part of the original continuity, I see no problems Goku-kun being more powerful than Gohan (even counting its ultimate form). The movie takes place years after the defeat of Pure Buu, Goku could have spent all these years in intense training and so Goku could have surpass Gohan at its most powerful form. This explanation is good to the personality of the characters and not interfere with the structure of the manga or movie. At least for me.

No, Vegeta believes that no one stood a chance against Beers. Check this for more information.

Considering that Gohan's character bio says that his strength surpasses that even of a pure Saiya-jin, that'd put him ahead of Goku until the latter attains his God form.

BOG is between 2 and 5 years after the defeat of Boo and not yet Kakarotto is stronger but, according to BOG we could say that he has greatly increased his powers and is perfectly feasible.

I could say that SSJ3 Gotenks is a bit stronger than SSJ3 Kakarotto and Ultimate Gohan is more than a bit stronger than SSJ3 Kakarotto.

Yes that´s true but, the Saiyajin Kakarotto according to BOG: ¨ He has immeasurable latent power and may one day become a formidable foe for real ¨.

If Ultimate Gohan is the release of all his power, no longer has anything to do in the pursuit of power. Besides, why not to think Goku and Vegeta can surpass Ultimate Gohan? They never stop training!

According to the Daizenshuu, Super Saiya-jin 3 is the full potential of a Saiya-jin, so really, outside of his God powers, he wouldn't be able to get any stronger.

Well, unless he got more potential. Always a little more in the back!

I mean, why would Goku spend all that time training until Oob showed up, if he could never get stronger than his Boo-era SSj3 form?

Good more potential statement and good conceivable question.

Why Kakaroto says he would train hard to become stronger before defeating Boo? Why he can not achieve more power? Maybe he can master the SSJ3 to achieve more power? Why Bills says about the Goku immeasurable latent power? Why not? Kakarotto have his precedence!

I think Kakarotto perfectly knows what he is capable of and always has been going beyond their limits. We have always seen that

Gohan is weaker - if Gohan were as strong as we were lead to believe, Vegeta wouldn't have been worried, especially consider that some believe Gotenks was stronger than Goku as well.

Gohan is as strong as we were lead to believe and Vegeta was worried. Thanks for the debate closer!

Especially if we go by the statements Goku HIMSELF made about SSJ Gotenks pre RoSaT = SSJ3 Goku.

You're wasting your time. I posted practically every quote from the strength checker that dealt with Gotenks' and Gohan's power in comparison to Goku's, and he just ignored it. Might as well write him off as a lost cause.

I have at this point. To put things frankly and not further insult, he's not up for debate. It's just more looking for weaknesses in his argument and watching his funny replies at this point <3

Your strength checker is bullshit and refutes all your arguements when Goku outright admits that he's gambling on the boys. Just because the boys are on Fatbuu's level doesn't mean they are equal to Goku. The anime expands on this when Goku avoids the comparison of Gotenks and himself.

Anime =/= Manga =/= Akira Toriyama =/= Canon =/= Acceptable evidence in a debate.

@Herms, I think he just called you bullshit :problem:

By the way, it's "your".
