I didn't mention this because I thought "how would Goku know that Vegeta would throw his pride?", but now that I think again, Goku was watching the whole incident in hopes he would find a way to beat Beerus, so he was aware that Vegeta had already thrown his pride, and he still thought that Super Saiyan God was the only way.
Yea, at the end of the movie Goku does throw in the fact that he was watching the whole thing. If he saw Vegeta willing to stoop to such a low level of embarrassment, I think Goku would think Vegeta would want to fuse.

Even if Goku DIDN'T know, Vegeta could have just asked King Kai to relay to Goku he would be willing to.

Dabra would win. Buu saga Gohan is weaker and him going SSj2 won't be enough to win. Dabra wins 8/10.

They were already really close when they fought. Why wouldn't doubling Gohan's strength be enough to secure a victory?

Omega crushes, why wouldn't he? Base Broli would be far weaker than base GT Goku (well, actually any Broli we've seen would be weaker).
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Are we talking M10 Broly? If so, even at SSJ4, he gets crushed by Shenron.

If this is a hypothetical GT Broly, then...taking my usual stance on Broly, and applying it to GT...I think he still loses. He'd be somewhat weaker than the "Beyond Limits" SSJ4 Goku, IMO.

Wait, doesn't that also mean that Vegeto would not have been able to defeat SSJ3 Goku in two blows?

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
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. 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.

Broly gets destroyed so hard it's ridiculous.

The logic is that BOG is shit that made so many contradictions in 90 or so minutes that it's absolutely unreliable. If fusion wasn't mentioned, there could be various reasons other than "it wasn't worth mentioning him because he would be useless".
Then why wasn't it mentioned in an in-universe standpoint?
SSG Goku had just lost to Beers, they were going to get their planet blown up. Why not be like "Hey Beers, wait, we have an even stronger foe for you to face" and then go to Kaioshin?

You're honestly expecting in-universe explanations about BOG?

But here's one: nobody wants to permanently fuse at this point in time.

So why do you keep participating in BoG related discussions if you hate it with such a burning passion? If you can't bring yourself to discuss something without allowing bias to take over then just ignore it.

Especially in a sub-forum titled "In-Universe Discussion".

Edit: So they'd rather die and get their entire planet + the planet's population killed than fuse? I doubt it.
Also, they have Fat Buu on their side now. Fuse, beat Beers, get absorbed, de-fuse. Done.

If you get worked up so much over people pointing out that BOG is bad, then perhaps YOU shouldn't discuss BOG.

I feel like I said everything that needed to be said: there's no reliable implication/proof that Vegetto is inferior to SSG/Beerus/Whis, therefore one doesn't have to believe he definitely is. Your interpretations of evidence to the contrary are far from convincing.

Then what is he talking about when he refers to "realm"?
hleV wrote:But that would be completely out of character. If Goku found out that he can become something called Super Saiyan God, of course he'd try that.
True, but what about Kaio? Why didn't he try to persuade Goku to use the Potara, instead of training him for Super Saiyan God? And like others said, why didn't Goku say to Beerus that he could create an even stronger guy when he lost?
hleV wrote:How did you translate "not everyone instantly agrees to fuse" to "Vegeta wouldn't accept to fuse"? If Beerus was angered, for all we know he could just blow the planet up. And since convincing someone to fuse sometimes takes longer than that, Beerus shouldn't be angered.
Goku comes and gives Vegeta an earing, and tells Beerus that he is going to fight a very strong guy. How does he get angry?

Just because you believe that explaining BoG's plot-holes (and they are not hard to explain) is stupid doesn't mean that everyone thinks the same.
hleV wrote:But here's one: nobody wants to permanently fuse at this point in time.
They have Dragon Balls, and they also have a Boo. Potara isn't permanent for the Z-Senshi any more.
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.
