With the intention of beating Buu, since that's what the whole conversation was about between him and Vegeta.Taskmaster wrote: Goku states that Gohan and Gotenks can FIGHT Buu
Yeah, if they hadn't stepped in, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, and everyone else that Buu killed on Earth would have remained dead, because Vegeta and Goku would have died before the idea to bring Earth back was even brought up.he goes on to state that if Buu and Satan didn't help, the whole universe (with Gohan) would be doomed
Vegeta's statement about this leaves it perfectly open to the possibility of a planet buster.It's stated if Buu comes BACK, everyone would be doomed.
He states that they should train so that, in a worse case scenario, they can fight Buu again, which leaves it perfectly open for Gohan and Gotenks to still be stronger than him and able to beat Buu should he appear again (they would be the better case scenarios)Goku also states that he and Vegeta should train in case Buu ever does appear again, so they won't lose this time.
Still just follows up with him preparing for a worse case scenario.Dragon Ball super has Goku training in case another foe as strong as Buu appears -
If you're referring to the joke about Chi-Chi being the strongest, in no way does that imply that Goku is the actual strongest. Gohan can still readily be stronger and the joke still work perfectly.Goten makes a statement implying Goku is the strongest in the universe (as far as he knows)
Vegeta states that he will surpass Goku "and everyone else" to become the strongest in the universe, meaning that he's readily indicating beings more powerful than Goku exist. Besides, the whole #1 stuff in that episode was indicative of Goku being the better fighter, not the strongest, since Vegeta makes specific mention that Goku is #1 because he defeated Buu, even though he didn't use his own power at all to defeat Buu.Vegeta has a monologue stating Goku is the strongest in the universe,
Easily fits into the "everyone else" aspect of it. He specifically mentions Goku by name because that's what his obsession over the years has been based on, the surpassing of Goku. The fact though that he readily admits that he needs to surpass Goku and everyone else in the universe to become the strongest indicates that he doesn't truly consider Goku the strongest.Again, Gohan isn't mentioned.
Goku was only able to be brought back like that because his body was already there, already processed by Enma, and already in possession of his body. As such, it could be resurrected right on the spot. With Gohan, there's no indication that he had been processed by Enma yet, no indication that he was given a new body yet (since his living one was destroyed, etc), thus no way of knowing if Kibitoshin could have even offered himself up to restore Gohan to life at that time.Goku hesitates to fight Kid Buu, stating that he'll use the Dragonballs to wish back whoever was harmed (but apparently not wish back Gohan, nor did Kiaoshinn offer himself up to bring him back, like he did for Goku)
See above. Vegeta readily had a body at the time for combat purposes, but there's no indication that Gohan and the boys had one yet since they only died a few minutes beforehand.Vegeta states that ONLY Goku can fight this Buu (While he is dead, just like Gohan and Gotenks)
Entire dialogue revolves around Goku's motives for combat and why he strives for victory, nothing in regards to actual strength.Vegeta states that Goku is #1
If Vegeta had thought Goku's idea of bringing Gohan and Gotenks to fight was a bad idea (i.e. that it'd fail) he'd readily say as much, since he's never hesitated to call any of Goku's ideas stupid if he thought they were. He plainly and clearly shoots down the idea only because he feels that it's up to the people of the Earth to help defend themselves for once, and makes no suggestion that he thinks the idea itself was bad.We *you* literally have to be creative with your thinking just to hold ONE LINE that was immidaitely ignored, as more powerful than everything that appears afterwards.
Since no specific time frame is mentioned for that interview, that statement about Goku being the strongest could readily be meaning after the ten year time skip, when we know he has become significantly stronger.The interview in Daizenshuu 2 states that Goku is the pure strongest in the universe.
Gohan and Gotenks were out of the picture at the time (having been absorbed by Buu, so they were comparing Vegetto with the next strongest hero.Daizenshuu 7 compares Vegetto's power directly to SSJ3 Goku
BOG promotional material also states that Gohan is stronger than pure blooded Saiya-jin, which would include his father.BOG's benchmark was a being stronger than SSJ3 Goku
And again, you also have guidebooks stating that Gohan is stronger than Super Saiya-jin 3 (not specifying a character, thus can only work if they're meaning Goku as well), that Buu grew weaker after he lost his absorptions (using Buu's reversion to Pure Buu to illustrate this), etc.
