Gokhan absolutely brutalizes Gogeta.

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.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. 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. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Is Gokhan a Potara result? If so, he destroys SS3 Gogeta in base.

Why do we have to call it Gokhan? I think Gohanku or Gohaku or Gokuhan sound a bit better.

Gohanku & Gokuhan are wrong, because one has the whole Gohan in it, and the other one has the whole Goku.

I go by Gokan.

Gohaku works as well.

Go - Goku and Gohan

ha - Gohan

ku - Goku.

Goten

Gotenks

Also, I'm not saying that the combination has to be balanced, it just can't have the full name.

Vegeta wins. Baby said that Vegeta was the strongest Saiyan minus Goku, and both Vegeta & Gohan had Super Saiyan 2 as their highest forms at that point. So, Vegeta should be the strongest as a Super Saiyan 4 as well.

Add orange to that "N" :thumbup: .

Gotenks

It has Goten's full name. In the exact same order of letters.

No, the "n" belongs to Trunks.

Eh, tomato tomahto..

Unless theres some official statement on fusion naming schemes, it could go either way. Especially for Gotenks sense both Goten and Trunks have N's in nearly the same parts of their name.

Pui-Pui dominates... until he gets cocky and fooled into taking a fatal Kikoho to the face.

Kami Vs. Piccolo Daimao.

Since a lot o people put the latter at higher power, even with Kami flicking Goku away.

Kami is more powerful. He casually flicks Goku away (who had defeated Piccolo Daimao) and Mr. Popo implies that Kami is his master and stronger than him (after Mr. Popo humiliates Goku).
