Except they aren't because they are IN Battle of Gods. They're not in everything within the manga are they? No?

But this didn't come from Toriyama, no matter how you look at it. So, it should be dismissed by your logic.hleV wrote:Firstly, "Vegetto = Goku x Vegeta" has nothing to do with this because I don't claim it to be a literal formula and nothing else, it's how I interpret it personally.
No, it's not. The History of Z is the past, and BoG wasn't even made at that point. If you believe that it's invalid, stick with your opinion, and I'll stick with mine.hleV wrote:You, on the other hand, support a statement which is obviously invalid.
And why should I dismiss it? Does it contradict anything? Because if it doesn't, I have no reason to do it. And it doesn't IMO. We learn that Whis' power is a mystery, and that Beers is the strongest guy in DBZ so far. Then, it turns out that the real strongest is Whis. It's not that hard.hleV wrote:The reason I even mentioned Toriyama is because when a contradictory statement comes from a guy who didn't even write the story, it's even easier to dismiss it (emphasizing my surprise at your failure to do so).
I disagree. I believe that anime Vegetto got too confident and believed that he didn't need Super Saiyan. I don't believe though that base Vegetto is stronger than Gohan Boo, so I just count it as Toei bullshit.hleV wrote:As for manga Vegetto vs anime Vegetto, they're obviously different because one went SS from the start and the other fought Boo in base before feeling the need to go SS.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
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.
I thought Base Vegetto didin't need SSJ in the anime. Seeing as he kicked Boo's ass in Base. I thought he use SSJ to beat his ass moreI believe that anime Vegetto got too confident and believed that he didn't need Super Saiyan.
Goku is in BOG as well. Your point? "Beerus is the strongest IN the history of Z" speaks for itself: Beerus is IN the history of Z. Again, we came to know Beerus and Whis before BOG's release, BOG not being released at that time has nothing to do with anything here, because we were already familiar with the characters.TheMightyOzaru wrote:Except they aren't because they are IN Battle of Gods.hleV wrote:We find out about Beerus and Whis before BOG's release, and they happen to be in the history of Z at the time the statement is made.

It not coming from Toriyama isn't a reason to dismiss it. It's easier to dismiss it because it came from someone who didn't write the story.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:But this didn't come from Toriyama, no matter how you look at it. So, it should be dismissed by your logic.
Whatever the history of Z is, Beerus (and with him, Whis as well) is in it (because he's "the strongest in it") and there's no counter-argument to that.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:The History of Z is the past, and BoG wasn't even made at that point.

Yes, it's very simple. The statement is contradictory.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Then, it turns out that the real strongest is Whis. It's not that hard.
So you disagree that manga Vegetto and anime Vegetto are different but point out that anime Vegetto did something that manga Vegetto didn't do, making them different? You're contradicting yourself.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:I disagree. I believe that anime Vegetto got too confident and believed that he didn't need Super Saiyan.

Because there is no way for Vegetto to be there(Don't mention Surpeme And Kibito Kai.). What you expect him to pop up from no where and say "ALLLL RIGHT!"Mewzard wrote:I'm pretty sure it's the case. What's the point of SSJ God if Vegetto could defeat Bills? Maybe for an even stronger foe you could bust out SSJ God Vegetto, but that's neither here nor there.
Well, Vegeta and Goku could use the Potara and then diffuse by getting absorbed by Buu.TheGmGoken wrote:Because there is no way for Vegetto to be there(Don't mention Surpeme And Kibito Kai.).

Well, even assuming they couldn't just make new earrings by then, there's the Fusion Dance, they could wish to be combined, etc.TheGmGoken wrote:Because there is no way for Vegetto to be there(Don't mention Surpeme And Kibito Kai.).

Really? Wish to be combine. I know this is Shoenen and I know DBZ has some weird plot device moments but c'mon. Not to sound rude or anything. But not even the most plot device anime-manga don't even use something as simple, cheezy, and lame ass idea as that. Let's not forget that Vegeta(Hates fusion) and Goku(Is a respect fighter.) don't like fusion. Hell Goku hated SSg. Lastly Birsu isn't a fusion so why would Goku want to fuse?Well, even assuming they couldn't just make new earrings by then, there's the Fusion Dance, they could wish to be combined, etc.
I said DBZ have some plot devices sure(That Namek wish had the biggest one) BUT NEVER will they have a lame ass and bullshit plot device as the one you mentioned(No offense). Seriously I really DOUBT they would want to wish for Goku and Vegeta to be Vegetto. That would be OOC for both Goku and Vegeta. Cheating death is one thing for DBZ. But not even a Shoene anime can snoop that low.The series used a wish granting Dragon to cheapen death. That falls under simple, cheesy and lame ass. Takes the consequence out of death, especially with Goku, who managed to cheat death more than even most people were allowed through other means.
