You do realize that's exactly what happened in the manga right? Goku and Vegeta left Fat Buu in there. Fat Buu only came out later.
Oops, I had forgotten that. All the Buu transformations/variations/etc. always confused me.

Salagir wrote:> Tiers and PLs in DBM.
Spoiler informations with tiers. There are big tiers, as someone can trash another in it.
There tiers may evolve in DBM and some surprises appear ;) But as I think a transformation is a powerlevel, less than a base multiplyer (eg Goku SSJ1 cant beat Vegeta SSJ2. Vegeta SSJ2 can't beat Goku SSJ3), one transformation basically mean a power level. Fusions are exceptions.

SSJ2 Tier: Goku SSJ2, Vegeta SSJ2, Vegeta M SSJ2, Young Gohan SSJ2, Perfect Cell (DBZ)
SSJ3 Tier: Goku SSJ3 (DBZ), Kid Buu, Super Buu, Base DBZ Vegetto, Young Gotenks SSJ3 (DBZ)
In-between: Mystic Gohan, base Vegetto, Son Bra SSJ1(?)
SSJ"4" Tier: Buu-Gotenks, Buu-Gohan
SSJ"5" Tier: SSJ1 Vegetto, SSJ2 Son Bra
SSJ"6" Tier: SSJ2 Vegetto, Broly at the end of his fight, Buu U4
SSJ"38" Tier: me

Does that mean Vegetto SSJ3 can beat Buu U4? Not clearly. SSJ3 takes all of Vegetto's energy very fast, and Buu still is the most difficult thing to kill in the universe. And if Buu isn't killed, he isn't beaten.
Cool, had been wondering where everybody was getting that list from.

I know it has. I just found it odd that you would state something and then say we shouldn't talk about it. Why post it at all? But now I at least know that in DBM Kid Buu isn't considered stronger than Gohan Buu so its even less likely that any Buu in this special will be a threat. Unless they just get really crazy and have him transform into a BuffBuuHanTenks :crazy:

This whole special feels like another rehash of the manga. I'm going to bet that Vegito kills Kid Buu before he blows up the Earth and the special will be over. This whole special is pointless.

Yes, Buu U4 is having a load of fun at home. He got almost infinite power, and can play many games : benevolent god on a planet, asshole god on another. He can create supernovas for fun and paint, create music, draw webcomics.
For this Buu, fighting is just one hobby among others. He is interested in everything, and in every skill, he is at least as good as the best in the universe (who he found and absorbed).

He never mentioned Vegetto or power. He just mentioned size.
Why would Boo mention Vegetto? Goku didn't understand what's going on, so Boo explained it to him.
Vegetto is now much much smaller than a jawbreaker :)

So Salagir, how much stronger have SS3 Goku & SS2 Vegeta gotten since Boo arc in DBM? Are they stronger than Ultimate Gohan?
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.

Rephrase that question to just Goku and Vegeta in general. But I'm sure there's a reason he's been dodging that question. =P

Well, I know everyone has different views on that sort of thing. But could you please insert some sort of annotation or something saying "warning, topless bra on next page" if you go ahead and do that?

You mean like Toriyama did in Dragon Ball?

In all seriousness, about the pact thing, I originally put it out there as a joke but then people started jumping on board and I was like "Hey, let's run with this!" Sure it's silly but that's kinda the point. And silliness was pretty much the point of all DB nudity, particularly the surprise of some of it. Lord knows Yamcha didn't get a warning and it was a riot. Same with Roshi and Bulma on more than one occasion. And each time the audience is left shooting milk out of their nose from all the lulz. A warning would crush the joke. It's not even really about the nudity itself. It's about the lol potential as well as the "fanservice" of having THE PACT actually fulfilled. I think if Salagir puts himself in that classic Toriyama mindset he can come up with a scenario that makes it work, particularly since with so many characters around the options are endless. And there's just something about U16 Bra, probably that she's such a serious, no-nonsense "straight man," that would make it all the funnier. It's the risqué version of watching Moe Howard take a pie to the face.

Despite all the haters I enjoy DB multiverse.

I agree that it's annoying that it's marketed as a continuation of the original manga and he has changed some canon elements, but I think that's more 'how it turned out in the end' than malicious false advertising on Saligars part.

What has he really changed? Lets break it down?

1. Multipliers/tiers
Oozarus is 10x BP
SS1 is 50x BP
ss2 is "twice as strong as ssj1"
ss3 is "4 times as strong as super ss1" (?)

He has ignored this and used a flawed "tier" system. If transformations are multipliers it shouldn't work like this. If kid Goku from chapter one somehow went SSJ3 he wouldn't be stronger than EoZ Goku in SSJ1.

2.Gohan/Goku/Vegeta
Gohan's power was bought beyond his limits.
Gohan's potential is greater than Goku's (as is any half saiyans)
Goku and Vegeta are implied to be close together in power and "able to beat Gohan somehow" despite the contradictory "Gohan hasn't got weaker"
Bra getting sue powers just by being Veggetto's kid. Gohan has potential to be strong but he had to work at it/use magic, he didn't get it auto like Bra, which goes against the Shonen spirit of dragonball and other mangas IMO. Her power relative to Gohan and other fighters at her age just seems wrong generally, (implied to be above an adult SSJ3 Fusion Gotenks? Yuck!)

3. U18 Entrants/Spectators
Humans (inc Bulma) Buu and Mark not entering or even at least watching this amazing once in a multiverse lifetime tourny!!!

4.Bulma or Chi Chi?
Getto choosing Bulma over chi chi seems wrong to me Goku should be put off by his platonic relationship with Bulma while Vegeta should be at least attracted to chichi.

5. OP Old saiyans
A) Unrealistically powerful Hanasia, Goku is supposed to come from a line of third class trash, Bardock was only just beginning to abuse zenkais and becoming relevant, him being born of two people more powerful than the kind already doesn't fit with the narrative of the saiyan arc. She also beat a weaker than he should be dodoria.

B) Nappas PL being 8000 instead of around 4000 (not a big deal, he prolly isn't going to be relevant anyway)

6. Underpowered Piccolo
Piccolo hasn't improved enough over the years for my liking.

7. The future Gohan Babidi stuff..... yeah....Major PIS by all characters.

8. Cold being able to transform and being so OP (16 tier?) Trunks told him to go all out. He knew Trunks was a SSJ like Goku and was warned he wasn't soft like him. He knows a SSJ1 beat his son who is stronger than himself. Weapon or not it would make no sense for him not to use to time Freeza was getting splattered to transform at least once. He never mentions having to transform or being able to when they are stratergising to double team Goku while on the ship.

But all these things are his right to change if he wants to, as long as he says U18 isn't our universe either though..

I like the art and the regularity the only things I don't like otherwise is the way it is not read right to left and is released in stammering pages instead of chapters at a time.

Other than that I think that this is the best ongoing fan comic atm, better than silly crazy power/transform inflated AF stuff. And unlike many people I'm grateful for it,

Thanks Sal!

In the case of Bra from Vegito's universe, I think shes actually born from Vegito and Bulma, not Vegeta and Bulma. I mean Goten has more potential than Gohan, able to surpass him with training and going SSJ at half the age Gohan was because when Goten was conceived, Goku was a lot stronger than when Gohan was.

Knowing this, the child of Vegito is no doubt going to be a powerhouse unlike any other Saiyan and this Bra is one who actually enjoys training and when your sparring partners are Mystic Gohan and Vegito, U16 Bra is gonna get places.

Then why are you dodging the Gohan/Goku question (The novel clarifies its stance)? If you consider the novel canon just state you have Goku above Gohan just like in the novel and leave it at that.

Does that answer really matter? It just seems like the kind of detail that, truthfully, doesn't accomplish anything other than pissing people off regardless of the answer. The thing about Dragon Ball, particularly the end part of Dragon Ball, is that the more you tease out detail the less sense the whole shebang starts to make. Things about power level comparisons, how fusion works, why Kid Buu even exists at all are the kinds of things that bring down the house of cards that Toriyama and Toei built on some very shaky suspension of disbelief. Honestly, the fewer specifics about U18 the better. Every time there has been further elaborations we wind up with weird fridge logic like King Cold's potential power. Which I don't completely blame on Salagir, either. Dragon Ball just isn't designed to hold up to such scrutiny and detail.

Seems like the best course of action is "they're very strong" with only the vaguest and most obvious of "X is stronger than Y" points to be made. For instance, I wouldn't be so put off by King Cold's power if they didn't name drop #16 and just let him demonstrate that he was stronger than U9 Videl.
