Oh. Missed that.

Yet despite being completely engulfed and blown apart, he regenerated. I don't think it would work unless Buu has already been weakened. And even then, he must pull it off quickly, or else Buu will be good as new a few seconds later.

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

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

It might not even matter if it does completely engulf him. Kamehamehas should explode on contact, and blowing Buu up won't kill him unless you've hit him with a LOT of powerful physical attacks beforehand and haven't given him any time to catch his breath.
I'm pretty sure that Gohan's Kamehameha against Cell didn't explode on impact. Or if it did, then the explosion was still strong enough to destroy every last cell. A Kamehameha of sufficient power and size should be enough to get rid of Buu, assuming that Goku was capable of pulling one off.

Buu could spread pieces of himself around before being hit so he can still regenerate

I remember last year I made some Anime vs Manga characters in this vs thread. Do anyone think someone in the MANGA is stronger than their anime counterpart?

Super Vegetto, because in the anime Boo actually made him struggle at some point.

I think this one is already done but, how about Pan Vs. Dr. Gero... She did manage to hold him and Dr. Gero couldn't scape. Also, Gero stated she had incredible power for a little girl :think:

Piccolo Vs Kami at the 23rd Budokai.

Assuming Mr. Popo uses the DB to restore Kami's youth, and Kami doesn't resort to mafuba tactics.

Neither, as the narrative shows they are both pointless failures.

Okay in all seriousness, I'd probably say Vegetto. He's composed of two competent fighters while Gohan is rusty.

Vegetto wins, easily. Rou Kaioshin was expecting "Gokhan" to be strong enough to beat Gotenks Boo without Super Saiyan (implying that he would fight in normal base, not Ultimate), and since Goku & Vegeta are a better combination than Goku & Gohan, Vegetto should be stronger than "Gokhan", and Ultimate Gohan as well.

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.

Base Vegetto has done nothing, and Super Vegetto doesn't need to be 50x stronger than Gohan to beat up Gohan-Boo the way he did. So I don't see any reason to put Vegetto that high, and Gohan would stomp him. Personally I think Vegetto's base form is around the Super Saiyan 2 tier fighters.

Anime base Vegeto wins, manga version never fought and would probably lose.

I think Vegetto would beat Gohan rather easily.
All I really could base this on is Buu's immediate reaction to the succesful merger of Goku and Vegeta(as with many things, it's debatable what his reaction really indicates).

In the manga Super Boo sarcastically says "Oh my, I'm so afraid" even after Veggie turns Super Saiyan.. I still base Vegetto beats Gohan though.

How 'bout Mr. Satan vs Zangief .... Gag Logic doesn't apply so feats like surving hits from Boo and Cell on the Champ's part don't count.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Base Vegetto. Gokan in base was said to be enough to beat Gotenks Boo and since Goku and Vegeta are more compatible, so should Vegetto.

Base Vegetto vs Kaioken Gokau(Gohaku, Gokhan...whatever his name suppose to be).

How much Kaioken does he needs?

Kaio-ken x2 should be enough. I don't believe there is a huge difference between them.

So potara fusions are far above a SSJ3 version of one of the pre fused people (assuming both people are close to equal in power)?! That's pretty cool.
Canon is Jaco, Dragon Ball except for EoZ, Dragon Ball Super anime and manga (both are separate canons)
