Actually the form of Buu that Goku was referring to is actually very important for this particular hypothetical battle. I think the strongest form of Buu GT SSJ3 Goku would be able to take down before heading out into space is Super Buu (no one absorbed). Therefore, regardless of how much Goku has powered up between the start of the series and M2, I find it very unlikely that his base form is going to be able to suddenly rival someone Buuhan level.SSJ2FutureGohan wrote:Well, regardless of which form of Buu that General Rild is comparable to, there's still a large gap implied between Goku @ Ledgic/Luud and Goku on M2. The multipliers for SS/2/3 are also implied to be very tiny also.supercat wrote:SSJ3 Goku trashes Rild with relative ease.
As I've mentioned in my earlier posts pertaining to Rild, if we assume Goku was comparing Rild to Buuhan, then he would have likely mentioned how Rild is even more powerful than Majin Buu was during the time Buu absorbed Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks. Such an acknowledgement would also serve to further emphasize how Rild is so powerful that he is potentially stronger than Buu plus four other fighters.
Because SSJ3 Goku could likely obliterate Kid Buu at the start of GT, I could see him effortlessly trashing Base Rild as well. If Base Rild was really a Buuhan tier fighter, and we go with the assumption that Goku has powered up that much since the start of the series, then it would seem plausible to me that Goku would at least start the fight off as SSJ2. Just another reason for me to believe Rild was being compared to Kid Buu, in addition to Goku neglecting to mention Rild being stronger than Buu with Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks' power.
