As for match #2, Whis annihilates GT's finest warrior in a matter of seconds. Effortlessly rendering Beerus unconscious with a mere chop is a major feat that I doubt anyone in GT could ever even conceive of pulling off. Gogeta's failure to incinerate Omega Shenron (around Golden Frieza-tier in my opinion) with his Big Bang Kamehameha is a good enough indicator to me that the two were not that far apart.
Kinda looks like you're replying to "Buu with Gogeta absorbed vs. Whis", it's "Buu with Beerus absorbed vs. Whis". Then again maybe you're just speaking comparatively or something, I dunno.

Don't know the first match up. But Whis wins the second easily, unless you consider Gohan Boo, half of Beerus or close to it. Of course people might have different formulas of how absorption works, but for me is pure addition.
I was wondering if Boo's abilities and regeneration would make a difference or not.[/quote]

I think the result would be that it takes Whis longer, but he still wins pretty handily (he takes a few tries before working out how to put Buu down for good, and his reflexes are good enough to avoid being candied or whatever--since that can be dodged like anything else).

They'd only cancel each other out if both injuries took into effect at an equal rate, which I don't think they do for the following reason, which also ties into your "tired Freeza vs. Tired SSJ Goku being equal = Fresh Freeza vs. Fresh SSJ Goku" theory:

Playing the numbers game straight out means that this is a curbstomp in Goku's favor since 3,000,000 x 50 = 150,000,000, which wouldn't be much of an issue to beat a BP of 120,000,000. In order for them to be equal after both fighters would take damage, Goku would've had to have endured worse than Freeza.
My two problems with that are:

1. I don't put much stock in those numbers (none, actually, though they're vaguely reasonable guesses I suppose), but this isn't quite as big a point as I don't have a hugely compelling reason why you can't use them, and--

2. Even if we are going by those numbers, I'm pretty sure those are given for what Goku and Freeza were at when they fought. Those numbers are all given at the time that the accompanying image indicated, so in that case during their fight, after the injuries that they'd taken. Like, if when they fought they were supposed to be lower than the numbers they gave to accompany pictures of them during that fight, I think they'd have mentioned that.

Of course, I also don't think that they were giving "weakened" numbers, but then like I said, I don't think either of them were really weakened (beyond Freeza's low stamina). I think the intention behind those numbers was that that's how strong they were, both in those forms in general and at the time.

Which doesn't account for the difference, since they were equal at full power, but then that's sort of one of the reasons (not nearly the main one) I don't put any stock in these numbers; I'm pretty sure their thought process wasn't "Oh well, they were both injured, but Goku was injured more, so let's put his max a bit higher and give numbers for levels they were never actually at in the fight we're depicting and talking about." I'm pretty sure it was "Oh, well, Goku won after a long fight so I guess he was a little bit stronger?" and they just got the finer details of the fight a bit mixed up (since it was one small part of an article covering basically all of DB up to that point, quite the undertaking).

Besides which, I really don't think Goku was as worn-out as Freeza. Before going SSJ, sure, since Freeza could still shoot energy stuff and fight and Goku could barely stand, but after he transformed Goku was A-OK, and compare the beating Freeza gave him to this:
...which resulted in some pretty extensive damage, and unlike Goku Freeza didn't really get a second wind. (I just don't think it (immediately) decreased his power in the first place.)

I don't agree with your second point. I think I get what you're saying but if they were to take in account injuries for those numbers, I think they'd mention that since it's never really implied that other numbers we get from past images rely on what the fighter's present state is in; just about what their full potential at that point is.

Plus, I don't see how they weren't weakened after they transformed. To my recollection, SSJ only boosts power and doesn't have any restorative properties at all except for stamina and while I believe Freeza's transformations rejuvenate his health, since he was able to grow back his tail when he reaches Final Form, him going from 3% to 50% and then at 100% is more exertion than actually transforming, so whatever damage he's taken into account can still come into play.

I guess I'm too much of a traditionalist, in that I take into account what multipliers do and how much they do when multiplied to someone's base power, while also taking into account that damage reduces one's BP, which is why I say that Goku wasn't fighting at his fullest potential when Freeza went 100% since again, neither of their transformations nullifies previous dealt out damage, hence why I think Goku had to have endured worst, Genki Dama fully taken into consideration.

Vegeta Ssj2 (Db Super) vs Goku Ssj3 (BoGT)

Goku Ssj3 (Db Super) vs Bootenks
-Base Goku holds a slight edge here in my opinion. I have Super Android 17 (post) basically on par with Final Form Frieza (FnF), if not a notch weaker.

-Based on my understanding, SSG grants the user a more appreciable boost in power, so BoG's Goku trumps his fur coat-sporting counterpart. To put in perspective, he went from having a base form that was notably weaker than Frieza to a level that permitted him to trade blows with a suppressed Beerus. SSJ4 on the other hand only enabled GT Base Goku (supposedly Kid Buu-tier) to reach the same realm of power as SSJ Vegetto.

-The Saiyan duo has the power necessitated to crush all the Shadow Dragons with the exclusion of Omega Shenron. Since turning SSJ no longer entails receiving a 50x boost, the base Saiyans are likely not that far below their blue-haired transformations.

-Even without the usage of his Galick Gun, Enraged Vegeta would likely trounce his parasite infested counterpart.

-This could honestly go either way. I guess the answer's heavily dependent upon whether or not Enraged Vegeta (equal to 10% Beerus) is in fact superior to SSJ Vegetto since Golden Great Ape Baby is presumably a notch or two below the latter. If the raging prince actually surpassed his Buuhan-busting incarnation, the giant ape has no chance here whatsoever.

Personally, I can't envision the destroyer exerting more than 20% of his power on any Vegetto-tier opponent, so I could honestly see this going either way.

2) Gohan struggled to defend Goten's blows; Trunks is even stronger than Goten, so it is pretty close to Gohan. Trunks SSJ wins easily.

3) I really don't know.

4) Saibaiman is way stronger than Piccolo(23rd TB), which is way stronger than Kami, which is way stronger than Mr Popo; Saibaiman one shot Popo.

5) Freeza(100%) is way closer to Goku SSJ than Vegeta is to Goku base, so Freeza wins pretty easily.

In any case, the instances that I provided could still very well be leveraged to draw an analogically determined conclusion since I personally don't have Gogeta that far ahead of Beerus.

When all is said and done, my answer still remains the same; Whis would effortlessly snag a victory.

This feels like a debate that's probably been had before, but please be open-minded that not everyone takes those guidebooks' numbers as canon, since they're not part of the actual series and quite possibly thought of by someone who had no part in writing said series.

I apologise, I didn't mean to nitpick. I just thought you might want to be informed about what the match actually was so you could answer it. I guess I just felt like I'd be annoyed if I misread something and answered a different question to the one asked...I probably shouldn't project that kind of thing and assume what other people will think...

I guess I see what you're saying. I prefer to read it as "this is the number they were actually at, at this moment in time we're depicting here" myself, and I suppose that's where the difference lies (well, that and me not really trusting these numbers to begin with, but that's an entirely different topic and one that's even more personal-preference-based).

(My logic for them not being weakened is that we clearly see that Goku is barely standing before he transforms, and afterwards he's leaping around just fine, so what power he's lost is only in his base form and his entire SSJ boost which vastly, vastly outweighs that is still there in its entirety; whereas Freeza is significantly injured but that only affects his stamina, i.e. his eventual loss of power, not his immediate power level. I do see how what you're saying could also be true, but I prefer this version myself.)

Well, I don't see anyone in Kill la Kill blowing up the moon...their speed might be vaguely comparable...hmm. I guess if Yajirobe's sword can cut Vegeta's back/tail, it's not impossible a Scissor Blade or similar can cut someone like Raditz? I dunno.

The Guidebooks are Toriyama approved. That makes it hold more merit to the original series than fan speculation.

Given that Gold Saints move at lightspeed like it's no big deal, and depending on which one you're talking about can do things like effortlessly shunt you into another dimension (Gemini, Virgo), remove all your senses (Gemini, Virgo, Pisces) and mind-wipe you (Virgo), kill you automatically Kenshiro/Soifon-style by hitting 15 vital points (Scorpio), reduce your body to near absolute zero* (Aquarius), or (debatably) can occasionally produce attacks comparable to the Big Bang...yeah. I'm pretty sure.

(*admittedly I don't know if Goku could survive this or not, he's gotta be tougher than he was as a kid when he nearly froze in Muscle Tower. He can't survive in space and the cold might be a factor, or it might just be the lack of oxygen. So this one's a "maybe". But that's just the Aquarius Saint.)

- Omega Sheron still wins quite easily
- Beerus wins quite easily. Baby is such a non factor in terms of strength that it won't make a difference.
- There is nothing to suggest that Goku still has his God power by EOZ, so I'm going with Beerus.
- If the Gogeta that Buu absorbs is SSJ Gogeta or higher in strength, he defeats Vegetto.

Toriyama went as far as to say he would use them to write the original manga because he tends to create too many contradictions.

However, Toriyama would never say, he would use a random fan's speculation to write the manga.

Summarily, the Daizenshuu holds more merit to the Manga than a fan's speculation.

What exactly did he say?

Because this sort of seems not to apply to these numbers. Since they're exclusive to parts of the story he'd already written and no longer needed to concern himself with (when writing Goku fighting Buu, what does it matter what his power level was on Namek?). Seems to me like using the guides to remind himself of certain facts and elements that do need to be carried on and applied later doesn't really include power levels.

Especially given how, again, he also later thought that 50x for SSJ didn't sound right.

The 50x multiplier for Super Saiyan seems exaggerated -and it is, but it doesn't make it false.

I can't find the Toriyama interview but he states that he wished the Daizenshuu was around during the Manga's original serialization -as it would have helped him to write it.
