I'm sorry? What baby power-up? Like, as a baby or an insignificant power-up, or something?

Edit: Oh. Bebi.

Uh no...? It wasn't really a power-up so much as Baby's power added to his own or whatever. The infection itself was what gave Vegeta the extra power.

That's what I thought but the DBZ.UK were arguing that he kept the power because he was so much stronger than SSJ2 Ultimate Gohan in the S17 saga.

GT perfect files say Gohan trained after DBZ so everyone over there says he starts at his Ultimate power and his potential reset allowing him to go MSSJ and SSJ2 again.

he never lost the forms in the first place he just didn't need to use theme cause he had his new mystic powers and saying that gohan lost theme is like saying goku lost kaioken cause he could go ssj
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

SSJ2 Ultimate Gohan isn't a thing. Gohan can't stack SSJ on top of Ultimate because the entire point of Ultimate was to take all of Gohan's potential, and then some, and bring it out to a base form so he doesn't feel the strain of having to be transformed to use it. Furthermore, energy was transferred to Vegeta, did Goku keep the energy that was given to him when he beat Broly or when he fought Yi Xing Long? No.

Well, didn't Vegeta did get stronger when Baby possessed him, even before he took the energy from the other Saiyans? I suppose it's possible that he could have kept that power, which would go a long way towards explaining how he was able to be equal to Goku when they fused. I doubt he kept the power that the Saiyans and the Earthlings gave him though.

But that statement no make sense in the GT sense because, Vegeta is the strongest one behind Kakarotto. When Bebi was in the Goten´s body, he meet Gohan and he says that he is more powerful than Goten and he corroborates that when he is in the Gohan´s body. When Bebi Gohan fights against Vegeta, he says that Vegeta have more power than Gohan and he corroborates that when he posses Vegeta.

That´s why Bebi fuses with Vegeta and no with the Kakarotto sons.

"Ultimate Super Saiyan" makes no sense. The Super Saiyan forms draw more and more power from the Saiyan's dormant power, with Super Saiyan 4 (Super Saiyan 3 in the manga) reaching the limit. The Ultimate state brings out all the dormant powers, plus much more power. If Gohan can go Super Saiyan on to of Ultimate, then he wouldn't gain any power.

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.

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.

If anything, Vegeta got one hell of a beating, which should amount to a proportional powerup because Zenkai.

Or they got small. Either way, Vegeta wouldn't benefit too greatly. I just assume Goku's beating brought him down to SSJ4 Vegeta's level. Vegeta is a little more than half as strong as Goku in this series as far as I'm concerned.

That's the way I see it too, Goku fought like the devil for the entire day before fusing with Vegeta. I don't necessarily agree with the half part cause I don't want to quantify GT levels, but yea, Vegeta should be much weaker. It's not DBVT after all.

Goku was powered up beyond his limits at that point by Gohan, Goten, and Trunks.

And then battered half to death by a guy over 10x stronger than him.

I still don't get how Omega didn't end Goku with a casual punch to knock his head off.

Then I guess he wasn't fighting seriously.

As for the difference between Goku & Vegeta, I think they are at around the same level, with Goku slightly stronger.
