No, because you didn't make it obvious.

Seemed pretty obvious to me. Considering I'm sure you know I believe Goku < Gohan/Gotenks/Buuhan/Buutenks etc etc, and my Goku >>>>>> DBZ-Verse comment at the end.

This would imply that Beerus is stronger than Whis as well. It's not true, so why does it have to be true in Vegetto's case?
Whis isn't part of the history of Z. The history of Z implies anything preceding BoG.

BOG is Z. So it's a part of the history of Z.

It's logically supposed to be interpreted the way we've been interpreting it. History of Z is all of Z up to this point. BoG is not included in such a statement. You can up with any excuse you like, it doesn't change the fact that this statement supports Beers > Vegetto.

The line about him being the strongest in the history of Z was in a promotion for the movie, not the movie itself. The movie wasn't out yet. There is no contradiction there.

Both Beerus and Whis were already introduced and were obviously a part of history of Z already.

Whis being stronger then Bills was a surprise and retcon for the movie. Vegito doesn't get the same luxury.

Whis, Beers, SSG Goku, SS4 Gogeta, and Super Yi Xing Long are all proven stronger than SS3 Vegetto, and there are probably even stronger guys than those 5 in the other Universes. Even if you ignore the "Beers is the strongest in the history of Z" statement.

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.

Just pointing out that that statement is unreliable.

By your logic. But even without statement, Vegetto isn't in the "Big 5" of the franchise.

I have manga-Vegetto as Goku x Vegeta (SEG -- manga-focused guidebook), and anime-Vegetto (base or SS, doesn't matter) as perhaps stronger than SS4 Goku (GT Perfect Files -- anime-focused guidebook).

BOG is anime. Go figure.

Yes it does, do I have to define history for you?
History: The past events relating to a particular thing.
BoG isn't the past it's the present as of the statement supporting Beers > Vegetto.

It's also something manga fans and anime fans can enjoy and is directly connected to the manga by Toriyama. Even if you don't consider the movie itself canon, Toriyama directly connects Beers to his manga and therefore is stronger than even Manga Vegetto. Also, guess what? SSJ4 GT Goku can still be slightly inferior to an A x B Vegetto :D .

Beerus and Whis became part of Z's history the moment they were introduced.

I'm done arguing with you. You clearly don't know what the word past means. Here lets put these 2 definitions side by side:
History: The past events relating to a particular thing.
Past: The time or a period of time before the moment of speaking or writing.

To respond to your signature: Nameks were established from the beginning as having magical powers. Saiyans were not. To suddenly give Saiyans magical powers in a retcon just so ~*~*~*GOKU*~*~*~ can get a nice big powerup to put him above all those silly willy not-goku characters like Buu/Uub, Gotenks, Mystic Gohan and Gogeta/Vegetto....well, it's shit.


Also BoG is part of the shitty-ass Goku-sucking anime, so pbbbbbt.

At least the cat god is still not in the least bit threatened by Goku and is toying with him the entire time.

But yeah, it seems like everyone's trying to pretend that Gohan's Ultimate power up just never happened, because no one can accept that he makes every other character effectively useless and should stomp any villain that Goku would have a chance at. Toei gets around that by just saying "Nuh uh, Toriyama knows shit, Goku is totally above this little shit stain" (Movie 13, Anime) or just pulling a big power up for Goku right out of their asses (GT, Movie 14).

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.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
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.

It's also part of the manga since Toriyama connect it to his manga with the whole Kaio planet thing :thumbup: . I also love how you're still calling this movie a Goku dick suck when Goku loses :lol: .
