Vegeta didn't do shit. He do zero damage to Birsu and got K.Oed. That's like saying Krillin did something against Perfect Cell or that USSJ Trunks did something to Perfect.Goku gets to do anything, and then when a small bone gets tossed to someone else, they start to bicker over whether it's right or not. This is why we can't have nice things!
So Vegeta got a higher rage boost than Gohan. Vegeta got a higher than a 4x rage boost. Seems legit. No it doesn't. It seems like jus like the smell I get when watching it. BULLSHITVegeta exhausting all his power as SSJ2 in that one barrage was more powerful than simple, calculated attacks by SSJ3 Goku. I can buy that.

When you have a guy clearly admit he loves Vegeta as Watanabe clearly stated he was the secret star, it all makes sense why it happened.

The rage boost probably didn't happen in the Cell Games because he was technically still a bad guy back then, while he is a completely good guy now.penguintruth wrote:Bullcrap. Trunks was KILLED in the Cell Games. Bulma was temporarily injured by Bils with a slap. She was up and bitching again a few moments later. For him to be more enraged by that is complete nonsense.

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.

Which would have also been bullcrap. Vegeta can't surpass Goku if he can't even go SSJ3, and he shouldn't be able to do so.

Gohan got mad when Videl got beat. I guess SSJ Gohan should be stronger than SSJ3 Goku.Nah but Vegeta's base was weaker AND it was Trunks not Bulma who got hurt, you never mess with a man's woman.
SSJ is not a rage boost. It's a transformation trigger by rage. It's not like Gohan who got a rage boost on top of a SSJ2.Goku has gotten rage boosts too all the saiyans have it's called "Super Saiyan" lol
This. That Vegeta fanboy could't control himself. I'm shocked Vegeta didn't become SSG. I mean 2 v1. SSG Goku was getting his ass kicked anyways. He needed the support.When you have a guy clearly admit he loves Vegeta as Watanabe clearly stated he was the secret star, it all makes sense why it happened. He wanted Vegeta to have a moment no matter how little sense it made.

Piccolo could't tell if Vegeta was stronger than Nappa. 18k vs 4k. ROshi is in the 100's. That's a BILLION's of differenceDBZGTKOSDH wrote:And why is that?Hellspawn28 wrote:The statement came from Roshi. I would take that with a grain of slat if I were you.
Because your explanation are 100% right. Yup. Let's listen to everything you say. Nope. Vegeta age was BULLSHIT.Why is it impossible, sometimes, to let the drama and excitement just be that? There's an easy explanation that I've listed SEVERAL TIMES, but you'd rather nitpick battle powers and posture over Super Saiyan forms.
Still disagree.Vegeta exhausted his energy in a single barrage. Goku, on the other hand, barely spent any of his power at all.
Boom. Done. Easy, simple explanation.

Which is sad. Vegeta got above 5x boost. While GOhan the king of Rage Boost never got anything that high. Hell the rage boost itself is randomly animate d in.

Did you not see Birsu's face? He did.Another thing one could account for: Vegeta may have caught Bills by surprise there.
He defeated nearly every DBZ movie villain, killed Buu, every main GT villain and the won the fight against the main villain in the 2008 Jump Special. Goku has won enough in my opinion.TheGmGoken wrote:Was that needed to be explained? Besides Goku haven't won since Freeza in a fight. Cut him a breakBecause Goku ALWAYS WINNING gets old..

I agree that Vegeta getting a rage boost is stupid, but that doesn't prevent me from making up an explanation.penguintruth wrote:It's just plain bad writing by a Vegeta fan. It's an imperfect movie, I have no problem with that, but defending that is getting silly. "Well maybe Vegeta WAS more powerful IF..."
Well, Roshi disagrees with you, and you are just in denial.penguintruth wrote:No. He's not. He's Vegeta. He's not more powerful than Goku. That ship sailed a very long time ago. He will never for a moment ever be more powerful than Goku any more than some day I'll be smarter than Stephen Hawking for just a moment. (I guess if he dies I'll be smarter than his corpse.)

Because Piccolo could't tell if Vegeta or Nappa was stronger. I put up their battle power because I was showing Nappa and Vegeta's power levels. Notice Piccolo could't tell who was stronger.Since when did battle powers had ANYTHING to do with ki sensing?
The gap from Roshi is to huge for Roshi to properly sense ki and compare Goku and VegetaWell, Roshi disagrees with you, and you are just in denial.

In them Vegeta says back then I definitely exceeded you. And Goku said without a doubt.
