Yes, because he holds the Golden Warrior identity even more sacred than the Saiyaman one. That's the identity that links him back to the boy who beat Cell and completely blows up the spot that they are all aliens living on this planet and all have super powers completely ruining their own...

And instead of quitting the tournament, he goes on to say, "Well I guess that's it for school!" and continues to completely blow up his spot revealing himself not only as Saiyaman but as the Golden Warrior as well. An identity he holds far more precious than the Saiyaman identity.

Why does Gohan care about winning in the first place?

Yeah, Goku seems confident in winning and Vegeta does as well. Gohan is the only one who seems to lose some confidence after getting closer to the tournament. Probably realized hey these guys been training their butts off for 7 years and I did nothing lol. This is your own thinking, not Goku's...

True, but Goku had also gotten a sample of Vegeta at this point too. Might be a bit different at the Budokai then after his fight with Pui Pui.

Indeed. And Gohan. All the Saiyans know exactly how strong Piccolo was 7 years ago. Yet none of them acknowledge him as any sort of threat. The Saiyans are the only ones capable of winning the tournament. Then, the Saiyans are still the only ones capable of winning, but now, even in BASE...

So all paralysis technique is equal? Just like all ki blast techniques are equal. Oh wait.

Does Goku have to worry about Krillen?

Yes, because he knows Badibi collects the strongest fighters in the universe and that this threat should not be taken lightly at all. Kaioshin thinks its possible they can lose to this one guy, so they need to fight all four, if he didn't think it was possible, there'd be no need to gang up...

It's an addition to the ever growing number of power concepts being portrayed. They don't have to worry about anyone except themselves, ie, the Saiyans, but now, these new two entering the fray, might be a problem. It's a continuation of the developing narrative.

Let's start off with some groundwork. How does Kaioshin think he will fare against the Saiyans 1 v 1?

It's already been established to all the characters that the Saiyans are the only competitive ones. So Gohan ends up thinking he's outmatched, Vegeta thinks he will win, Goku thinks he will win. But Goku doesn't know Gohan didn't train. So it's kind of up in the air. You have to differentiate...

I don't think many people read through the Buu Saga thoroughly enough. The only was to really grasp the Buu Saga properly is to read it and constantly ask you what the narrative is. Because it's crappy writing. All over the place. But if you sit down with it you can see it easily enough.

He thought it was definitely possible.

The ones who might have a chance? The only ones capable of winning the tournament are the Saiyans. That's been well established at this point already. We have this. Base Saiyans > Piccolo > Android 18 Then it seems Gohan seems to be indicating he assumes Goku and Vegeta are ahead of him and...

Losing and power levels are two different stories. It's like saying Gurd's power level > Gohan, which is absurd. Badibi's estimates are in line with Kaioshins.

Sure and that's plenty, especially when Kaioshin's energy seems to match Badibi's energy in regards to how the fight will go down.

Exactly. Shin and Kibito might be able to beat them, whereas the others definitely can't. THAT IS THE POINT!

Pui Pui IS impressive. They are literally watching his movements! You act as if they'd say the same thing about Raditz in there. Please.

Gohan isn't even considering using Super Saiyan at all even after Piccolo crapped himself. Gohan is so superior it's not even a thought that crosses his mind. I tell you, this place is going backwards. These guys were on board with this stuff in like 2011 I guess that's what happens when you...
