I don't see where you get that notion, there's nothing wrong with DBZ actually NOT having the insanely inflated levels people thought were there.

I base my logic off the show. If Goku beat Freeza in base form in GT than Goku can beat Freeza in base form! Lol My reasoning is simple lol.

Well that's your problem then. The anime has even more inconsistencies than the manga. Do you follow the logic that SSJ Goku >> Ultimate Gohan? Lol. (shown in the anime inside Buu)

Yes, Goku can beat Freeza in base form... in GT. Which also had base Goku defeating Cell, and fighting on par with someone who was stronger than Boo.

Even if you believe this, remember that GT is set years after BOG. That's more than enough time for Goku to get stronger.

Your talking about Goku and Vegeta fighting Buu in his head right? It hasn't a fair fight, plus how does show SS Goku is equal to UG?

For me DB/Z/GT movies and specials are all important to consider. The guide books say UG is super strong but at the end of the day Goku beat Buu not Gohan.

I'm not saying Goku is invincible but that he's stronger than Freeza in base form because GT tells me so lol. Nevertheless I get your point so agree to disagree.

Cause SS Goku easily beat Gohan who was said to be as strong as he was outside of Buu.

. Do you also believe that Kid Buu > Super Buu then?

Who said SS1 Goku is stronger than Ultimate Gohan? For me UG is stronger than SS3 Goku by a little but weaker than SS4.

I do think Kid Buu is the strongest Buu. The Manga vaguely hints that KB isn't as strong but Vegeta was mocking his height. To me the final villain is always the strongest. Its easier that way.

When Goku was fighting UG inside of Buu in SSJ and putting up a fight/winning. Where does it vaguely hint? Vegeta went from scared of his power increasing to mocking his height, that's a power drop to me. Goku states Evil Buu >>> Goku + Vegeta combined, then says Kid Buu < himself. That says Evil Buu > Kid Buu to me.

The anime does. In filler, Goku easily defeats UG and it is revealed that these beings are just as strong as the real deal in a guidebook.

Right, and Vegeta in base even manages to knock down SSJ3 Gotenks. That's how it's pretty hard to use the anime in strength debates. Then again as you said in the other thread official timelines are whack...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that fight... Well ok that's Toei's goof. Or just cuz I can, ill say that Goku is just that good of a fighter. Vegeta got beat by Piccolo and Gotenks. SS2 filler Goku fought KB quite well while official SS2 Vegeta got owned. Goku is damn good fighter. A "mutation" "genius".

So skinny grey Evil Buu is stronger than Goku n Vegeta your saying correct?

What form?

And if you're going to do that with all of Toei's goof's with inconsistencies and powers, you're gonna have a looooong day ahead of you. How did SSJ2 Goku do better than SSJ2 Vegeta when the two were stated to be at equal strengths in equal forms? How is Gohan stronger than Evil Buu but Goku stronger than Kid Buu when it was stated Gohan > Evil Buu > Goku? And a whole lot more.

Might I offer a suggestion? If you want to discuss this topic, there is a thread in the in-universe forum already dedicated to Buu Arc strengths. That would probably be a better place to discuss this instead of taking this thread off topic.

Kamiccolo9 thanks for the heads up.

I gave my reason why I said Goku was just damn good of fighter. But ill head to the correct thread.

As for BoG movie I think Toriyama and the crew made a great movie but it ether wasn't what DB fans wanted or hoped it would spring forth a new series. Idk
Did Japanese fans dig it?

No problem. Just trying to help out.
I haven't seen the movie myself, but I've read the synopsis, and it seems really interesting to me. I'll definitely be getting a copy when it comes out.

The Kanzenshuu summary gives me "a lot of dialogue" type film. The clips I've seen is Goku and Beers punching each other. Sparing. Even Piccolo says its as if Goku is receiving training. I was personally hoping for a new attack but judging a movie by mere clips would be foolish of me.

I'm eager to grab me a English sub when the time comes. :)

If DB related merchandise sells quite a bit better than usual it would probably be BoGs doing, right? So even though the film fell just short of its target, it could still make up for it in other areas.

I know I'm ready to purchase some BOG merchandise if CD Japan gets around to posting listings. The only new stuff they have listed are those already-sold-out wallets.

I'm pretty sure they expected money in DvD sales and merchandise and etc., but their goal was 3 billion yen alone in the box office. Unless you think 3 billion was their total goal.
