Cell Games Golden Great Ape Vegeta VS Majin SSJ3 Vegeta: who has the bigger f*ck off kamikaze explosion.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

I still don't see how this disproves "there's absolutely no reason to suspect that those numbers are any kind of canon, since they weren't written by the person who originally wrote the story, and in his only statement regarding the guidebooks they're in, said actual original author made no reference to the numbers but instead made a statement that would have to be twisted practically in half to even vaguely apply it to those numbers, but since they're not unreasonable estimates you can personally use them if you like".

There's no reason the person who came up with those numbers for the guidebook has some kind of magical ability for their guesses at what a character's power level is to "hold more merit" than yours or mine or anyone else's just because of the company they work for, unless they went up and asked Toriyama and I sincerely doubt that they did (since he almost certainly doesn't know and never knew what the exact numbers were, other than those given in the manga).

Pretty sure that Majin + SSJ3 is a boost as big as or bigger than Golden Oozaru. Especially if this is a Cell Games-era Vegeta vs. a Majin-Vegeta-era Vegeta like I'm pretty sure it is.

Scenario:
Back in the Boo arc. After seeing Super/Evil Boo emerge from the Room of Spirit and Time with Piccolo and the boys nowhere in sight, Yemma assumes all of Earth's heroes have officially been defeated. He then expedites Vegeta's revival, seeing him as the last option. Vegeta arrives at the Lookout just in time to see Super/Evil Boo slap and then eat Bulma. Can Rageta destroy Majin Boo?

It's never really been countered though. Also, I've found a way to make essentially, 99% of things work that come form the Daizenshuu.

As for the thread. Rageta powered up beyond the likes of Super Vegetto. So obviously, Rageta would ROFL Super Boo with ease.

Theoretically yes, with ease, but it's possible that he couldn't do it before his character took that final step in the Kid Buu fight and its aftermath, or something. (Like, between Cell and Buu he unwittingly starts caring for his family, during the Buu arc he comes to realise how much they mean to him leading to plenty of development, first denial and then acceptance, and then finally post-Buu he knows the feeling of losing it all and hence the rage-boost is possible when the threat of that tangibly resurfaces before his eyes. Or something. I dunno. If this theory is correct maybe he couldn't do it yet or not to such an extent.)

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

Okay, hypothetically if Dragonball Super/Battle of Gods/Revival of F are totally canon to End of Z, how powerful would that make Uub based on what we know currently. Who is the strongest character he could beat in your view?

Piccolo was astounded at 1rst form Frieza's power level, despite sensing Ultimate Gohan. This at least infers that 1rst form Frieza is above Ultimate Gohan.

1rst Form Frieza solo's.

If I didn't make it clear enough, Freeza himself isn't part of the fight.

I believe it's fairly clear he was referring to Freeza's army excluding Freeza.

Let's see. Shishami was seemingly dead even with Piccolo. Mr. Boo would need to be the one to fight him if the team wants to win. Meanwhile Yamcha will probably tire out like Krillin did and Tarble is literally useless. Can 18, Goten, and Trunks defeat the whole 1,000+ army on their own? Before the movie I would have said one solos effortlessly, but it seems that the storyline took a different approach, with sheer numbers actually being pretty effective.

Of course this is disregarding fusion and assuming all Boo does is fight Shishami and not fodderize Shishami then continue helping with the army. In reality the team certainly wins, I'm just looking for ways to make it a little more daunting... In reality, again even if we discount fusion, Mr. Boo would equal Gohan (personally i subscribe to the view that Gohan can still access most of his Mystic power in Super Saiyan form, but Boo has a lot less restraint than him, and even if Gohan was indeed much weaker, that just puts Boo OVER him)Goten and Trunks together surpass Piccolo, 18 surpasses Tenshinhan and Krillin, and Yamcha surpasses Roshi and Jaco. I see no reason why the team wouldn't win, unless Shishami systematically targets the weakest fighters one by one, and we assume he can even defeat Goten and Trunks at all, and then he plus the whole army fire everything they have at Boo.

It was stated that SS Gohan alone could have wasted the entire army, including Shisami. Mr. Buu solos. Then Freeza comes out to see what's going on, and Mr. Buu kills him in one punch before he even thinks about switching forms.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger.

I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Actually just base Gohan. Gohan goes SSJ later which surprises Freeza.

That wasn't including Shisami, since Gohan had to go SS to beat him.

Out of curiousity, how do you guys think this fight would differ if Buu was switched for Kibitoshin?
