I would agree with your list except I refuse to believe the kids are so close to their dad :think: I may be a restricted Goku fanboy but a fanboy I still am. Stronger than Gohan/Gotenks? Fuck no not in a billion years. Barely stronger than his kid? Fuck no I refuse. Moderation fanboying :thumbup:

I believe I should say that my favorite character is Son Goku, for those who didn't know. It's not my opinion that put Gotenks & Gohan so much stronger than Goku, it's purely official information.

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.

Daizenshuu's are nice supplementary info but they're not the end all be all. After all Goku wasn't at all impressed by Goten/Trunks when they powered up to max in front of him.

You can't interpret that way because it isn't true. Period.
The boys didn't increase their power over 50x what it was before in 2 weeks of training - it's a feat that has NEVER happened in all of DBZ.
The boys aren't even close to their parents - it was never been implied. Goku wasn't impressed with full power Trunks.
The Daizenshuu states that Gotenks LEVELED UP so much he surpassed Vegeta in strength, obviously talking about SSJ3, not base Gotenks. Don't tell me I have a problem when you are cherry picking facts and down right making shit up.

If we agree - you KNOW you're wrong.

And Gohan is implied to be weaker than Pre Manjin Vegeta.

Calm the fuck down. He can interpret it that way. If it's not true prove it. Bring me AT's note/stamp of approval. Otherwise he can interpret it anyway he wants.

Obviously? Then why did the Daizenshuu also put a picture of BASE Gotenks in that same passage? Weird huh? Obvious only to you.

You just agreed with me that Daizenshuu's aren't end all be all sources of information then straight up listed word for word a Daizenshuu line and narrowly interpreted it to follow your own viewpoint. Hypocritical much?

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.

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.

I never said they became 50 times stronger. The almost became 2 times stronger.
Axiom wrote:The boys aren't even close to their parents - it was never been implied. Goku wasn't impressed with full power Trunks.
The Daizenshuu imply that Gohan's power over the 7 years has fallen, but not by much. Vegeta (pre-Majin) doesn't think that he has surpassed SS2 Gohan from the Cell Games, and both SS2 Goku & SS2 Majin Vegeta are stated in the manga to be "perhaps" stronger than Cell Games SS2 Gohan. The Daizenshuu state that Goten is as strong as Gohan, and we see Gohan barely blocking all of Goten's hits during their training in the manga. The difference between the base Saiyans in Boo arc is not huge.

EDIT: I take that back. I forgot that Gohan got a rage boost in the Cell Games as a Super Saiyan 2, so Goku and Vegeta should be several times stronger than Gohan, Goten, and Trunks.

The manga, the Daizenshuu, and even Toriyama himself imply that SS Gotenks is already stronger than SS2 Vegeta before RoSaT. And when did I make shit up?

No. I don't like you, and I thought I made that very clear in the message you sent. I purposely try in minimize any time that I have to respond to you, even if that means completely ignoring your posts. You're an annoying wanna-be "forum veteran" that froths at the mouth everytime someone disagrees with you - yeah, I get it, you watched the show, you're a superfan, you've been here longer, you're better than me - whatever the fuck helps you sleep at night, go for it.

What I want to know is why he keeps saying they had to get 50x stronger and that it is impossible? We all know that fusion has some hidden modifier that makes the fusion much much stronger than the fusee's. It isn't just a straight up addition of both the fusee's powers. If you want to interpret a 50x increase then we could look at it like this.

I'll use arbitrary numbers to make my point. These numbers by no means represent their actual power levels I'm just using them to illustrate a point.

Pre-RoSaT

Base Goten: 3 million
Base Trunks: 3 million

Base Vegeta: 6 million.
SSJ Vegeta: 6 mill * 50 = 300 million.
SSJ2 Vegeta: 6 mill * 100 = 600 million.

Base Gotenks: (3 mil + 3 mil) * 50(fake fusion modifier) = 300 million.

^Let us assume, for arguments sake, that the fusion modifier is the same as the SSJ modifier so they at least have a chance at escaping Fat Boo at base.

Post-RoSaT

Base Goten: 6 million
Base Trunks: 6 million

Base Gotenks: (6 mil + 6 mil) * 50 = 600 million.

^ Do you see what has happened? The boys have only doubled their base powerlevels and they have caught up with SSJ2 Vegeta. They don't need to train and get 50x stronger. They just need to train enough to get more out of the hax ability of the fusion.

It's just downright silly to have them surpass their previous SS selves in base (which they would do if you're taking the gag implications seriously) and to have Gotenks (pre) MANY TIMES stronger than SS3 Goku. Such a thing was never implied at all.

Where does the Daiz say fusion makes the fusees dozens of times stronger? Quote please. As far as I know that comes from the GT Perfect Files. If it did say that, it seems to contradict their line about Vegeta > Gotenks (pre) heavily: that line, paired with the Goten = Gohan in terms of battle power statement, would pretty much necessitate making fusion pure addition, A + B. Also, that line be Toriyama doesn't have to be interpreted as "the fusion boost is more than x50".
