Re: Broly the strongest until Janemba?
Dabra and Kaioshin are idiots, and we don't know how close you have to be in power exactly for fusion to work. We DO know that Goku can simply suppress himself to fuse with Gohan.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Vegeta is just acting like Vegeta. I'm sure the difference is significant, but not extremely significant, since Dabra & Kaioshin treat Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan like they are in the same category, and Goku even considered Gohan for Fusion. LSS Broli however seems to be much stronger than SS2 Gohan, to the point that Gohan was almost beaten by him in a minute, and Gohan's hits also barely made Broli move.RandomGuy96 wrote:SS2 Gohan was considered "pathetic" by pre-Majin Vegeta, who explicitly said that the gap between him and Goku was the same as it was at the Cell Games. So the difference between Gohan and Majin Vegeta/Goku was extremely significant.
In other words, LSS Broli's & SS2 Gohan's gap in power seems to be much greater than the gap between the SS2 Goku & SS2 Gohan.
I disagree. If that was a Majin Vegeta-level opponent fighting Broly, I don't think that he would've moved/been stunned in pain by any of Gohan's blows, or be unable to catch him in that lava sequence, or that it would've taken more than three hits to beat him.
This was way before that, when Goku was lamenting that Gohan and Vegeta aren't around to fight fatso anymore. Piccolo says it wouldn't have made much of a difference, but Goku says that the wasn't talking about fighting together, but about fusion. I personally doubt that he was actually serious; it seemed pretty obvious that Goku was just finding a way to bring up fusion for the kids, which was the plan all along.Wasn't Gohan Mystic.....

Dabra seemed to sense their full power even though they were suppressed, and considered those 3 to have marvelous energy, while Piccolo & Kuririn were trash. He didn't say anything like "these 3 have marvelous energy, especially the 2 of them". Kaioshin also said that the 3 Saiyans were amazing, again, not saying anything like "especially Goku & Vegeta". So, they are in the same tier, but with Majin Vegeta = SS2 Goku > Raged SS2 Gohan > SS2 Vegeta > SS2 Gohan.RandomGuy96 wrote:Dabra and Kaioshin are idiots

Re: Broly the strongest until Janemba?
Subjective. It's never elaborated upon on what "similar" means, but considering the massive gap between Goku/Vegeta and Vegeta/Gohan, I think we can conclude that there can be a pretty wide gap where powers are still considered "similar".All we know is that the powers have to be similar. LSS Broli & SS2 Gohan definitely don't have similar powers.
No, he didn't. He knew absolutely nothing of their power, as evidenced by the fact that he thought he could take all three at once.Dabra seemed to sense their full power even though they were suppressed, and considered those 3 to have marvelous energy, while Piccolo & Kuririn were trash. He didn't say anything like "these 3 have marvelous energy, especially the 2 of them". Kaioshin also said that the 3 Saiyans were amazing, again, not saying anything like "especially Goku & Vegeta". So, they are in the same tier, but with Majin Vegeta = SS2 Goku > Raged SS2 Gohan > SS2 Vegeta > SS2 Gohan.
Also, of course he wouldn't say "especially the two of them"; if anything, he'd just say "especially that one", since Goku was far stronger than the other two. And if he was somehow sensing their full power, he should also be able to tell that Goku's stronger than Buu, buuuuut....

I still don't see how Goku's & Gohan's gaps are considered massive. Vegeta considers Gohan pathetic because not only he is weaker than him, but also because he shouldn't be that weak, and he shouldn't skip his training.RandomGuy96 wrote:Subjective.

Of course, Dabra underestimated them, but that doesn't mean that he got wrong how the 3 Saiyans compare to each other.Chapter: 447 (DBZ 253), P11.1-3
Context: talking about how Yamu and Spopovitch were followed by Goku and co.
Dabra: “Seems they’re trying to hide from us…In total…there are 7. We can’t use Kaioshin and Kibito’s energy…But 3 of them seem to have marvelous energy…”
Babidi: “Looks like it. It seems that we’ll get more than enough energy from just those 3…Kuhihihi…To think that we’d be able to revive Majin Boo so quickly…”

Gohan isn't THAT much weaker than Goku and Vegeta.

Re: Broly the strongest until Janemba?
Weak enough to tell a noticeable difference. Since Goku is barely stronger than Kid Gohan IMO and Goten eing at least close to Gohan's power. Gohan should be around Cell games Goku which is 2x - 3x weaker than Cell games Gohan. So the difference is kinda bigTheMightyOzaru wrote:Gohan isn't THAT much weaker than Goku and Vegeta.

Re: Broly the strongest until Janemba?
It's an inference not a fact. Well Gohan thought Goku full power was holding back. If Gohan 1.5x stronger he should have been impressed a little. But Gohan just was like. "So...when is dad going to fight seriously?" So 2x - 3x. Should be big enough.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:And you got the 2x-3x difference from...?TheGmGoken wrote:Gohan should be around Cell games Goku which is 2x - 3x weaker than Cell games Gohan.

The reason that Gohan wasn't impressed was because he thought that Goku was much stronger than him, while in fact, he was below him.TheGmGoken wrote:It's an inference not a fact.

And let's not forget that one doesn't have to be times stronger than someone to be significant stronger. Vegeta was at 24.000, and he was much stronger than Dodoria, who was at 22.000.

Gohan wouldn't be impressed, because Goku would be much weaker than he was expecting him.
And power scaling never changed, it was always higher battle power = win, except of teamwork & high amplification techniques were in the mix.

I'd say Kid Gohan wasn't that much stronger than Goku. There should be a difference but I don't think it was gigantic.

Re: Broly the strongest until Janemba?
2. Okay in Saiyan Arc. A small gap can mean a good fight. Seeing as how good Krillin did against Nappa. Namek Arc. A small gap means you will be DESTROYED. Cell Arc. Small gaps can lead into even battles but with one fighter having a slight lead. Boo Arc. The power levels are all over the placeDBZGTKOSDH wrote:I don't understand your logic in the first one.
