I personally didn't, did not seem that way to me. In my view, he just managed to catch Frieza off guard, which made the attack look all the more vicious because, as you said, Frieza had been toying with Piccolo and wasn't powered up, so Gohan catching Frieza off guard and not powered up meant his rage boost (which I don't have as getting much higher than 4x, which is what Vegeta would need to surpass Goku, ESPECIALLY since at that point when people get stronger then multiplier is a lot less than back during the Frieza saga) was enough to stun Frieza for a while.Kamiccolo9 wrote:You don't think that Gohan surpassed Piccolo and Vegeta with this attack? Freeza had been playing with Piccolo beforehand, and Vegeta at this point was weaker than Freeza's second form. Freeza even looked shocked (scared?) during the attack.Draken wrote:Badly worded by me, I mean he got strong enough that he could be within fighting range against Freeza to catch him off guard, but it wasn't stronger than Vegeta/Piccolo. It's like when Piccolo caught final form Freeza off guard. He was NOT stronger than himKamiccolo9 wrote: I meant when he blasted 3rd form Freeza with the masenko. For the duration of that attack, due to his rage, he was stronger than Piccolo and Vegeta..
I don't have him being stronger than Freeza. He did manage to repel the attack after all.

Re: What if vegeta saw bulma get killed
Huh, not saying you're wrong, but I didn't get that impression. Freeza's expressions during the blast indicated to me that Gohan was actually hurting him. And it is right after this attack that Freeza transforms, so if Gohan wasn't any stronger than the others, I don't see why Freeza would have bothered.

I dunno though, it just seems weird that when they fought Yakon, Vegeta thought he was < Goku as a SSJ2, but now he's > SSJ3 Goku after a rage boost?

Re: What if vegeta saw bulma get killed
Well, a couple of years have passed. And Vegeta is a totally different person now. I can see him utilizing Goku's more efficient training methods and getting much stronger.SaiyanZ wrote:I dunno though, it just seems weird that when they fought Yakon, Vegeta thought he was < Goku as a SSJ2, but now he's > SSJ3 Goku after a rage boost?
Also, he probably kept the power boost that Babidi gave him. At the end of the Buu Arc, he and Goku were essentially equal, aside from Goku being able to go SSJ3.

Re: What if vegeta saw bulma get killed
Yeah. Well if it helps, if it's anything like Gohan's rage boosts, he won't be able to access that power normally. So, 99% the time, Goku will still be stronger.SaiyanZ wrote:I guess so, I just find it a little-offsetting thats allKamiccolo9 wrote:Well, a couple of years have passed.

True.

Re: What if vegeta saw bulma get killed
It's in the nature of shonen stories to have the rivals surpass and one-up each other all the time. We're used to Vegeta declaring that Goku is stronger than him because that was the end of the manga, but if the story continues then there's no reason to think that these two rivals will stop rivaling each other. DB Online even has them fighting a final battle in deep space and killing each other with supernovae; if Vegeta was so much weaker than Goku, then they would never have fought that battle (in DB Online).
Re: What if vegeta saw bulma get killed
Well, Goku and Vegeta are my #1 and #2 fav characters in the series in that order, the reason I find it offsetting is because well.....Goku has been shown superiorKamiccolo9 wrote: Yeah.

Re: What if vegeta saw bulma get killed
Nah, I personally like Vegeta more as a character, but Goku is the main character, and while Vegeta occasionally manages to surpass him, Goku almost always ends up stronger in the end, so I wouldn't worry about itSaiyanZ wrote:Well, Goku and Vegeta are my #1 and #2 fav characters in the series in that order, the reason I find it offsetting is because well.....Goku has been shown superiorKamiccolo9 wrote: Yeah.

Re: What if vegeta saw bulma get killed
Well, Vegeta did come up with the plan that killed Pure Buu, and played an essential role in stalling for time.

Him and everyone not named Goku or Gohan. When do they get to beat a villain?I know goku is the main character but its kinda stupid vegeta never defeated a major villian hopefully we do get too see that. I've got so many ideas for future films. I wish i was involved

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Re: What if vegeta saw bulma get killed
Haha, true, but I think he made up for it in the end. Well, maybe not Cell, but at least he felt bad about Gohan getting hurt.

We do see him take on all the major villians of each arc at least.Vegeta12 wrote:Thats true but i just want to see 1 on 1 vegeta vs major villian.
And he pretty much kills everyone barring Freeza and Ginyu on Namek.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.
