Could be. I think him being mentally weakened is primarily why he was overwhelmed by Gotenks. Whether that be his battle power dropping, fighting sloppily or him wielding his power poorly, I think the end result remains the same.
We don't see veins protruding until he self-destructs but nothing affects the narrative of whether he could draw out his full power or not. If anything, it'd be like you said. Either he fights sloppily or he doesn't use his power properly.
Sure. Gotenks was completely off-guard.
I think there's a difference between being angry and being mentally unstable like Buu was. The moment Gotenks displayed power that could threaten him left Buu spiraling nearly out of control in a fit of rage. I don't think simply being angry would be...
Piccolo's statement was made when Buu was mentally weakened and that's when we see the large gap appear between the two. I don't think Buu let it happen. He was just mentally weakened which allowed Gotenks to take over even when both may have been equal.
My argument would be that 50% MSSJ Goku was likely stronger than SSJG3 Trunks given their respective performances against Warm Up Perfect Cell. Trunks seemed quite serious on Warm Up Perfect Cell and still was at a disadvantage. He needed a serviceable power-up just to pull ahead. In contrast...
Well. Goku is just clarifying that he was able to easily deflect Trunks' attacks because Trunks wasn't actually serious. It's really Trunks that is claiming that those are the same attacks that could kill Frieza. When you connect the two ideas, it requires Trunks to be able to kill Frieza in an...
What is the exact quote? In the manga, Trunks' ki was noted to be characteristically similar to Goku's but that may be different in Kai.
That's personally what I think. It makes more sense for Frieza to be at full power. At the very least, I think Trunks should be much stronger than Frieza here...
No one is saying Kid Buu was in any danger but it's patently clear from the example you provided that Super Saiyan 3 Goku was able to fight well against him. I'm not seeing anything that places Kid Buu that much stronger than SSJ3 Goku if at all. Vegeta was watching him battle and concluded that...
I'm not really saying anything definitive here. My interpretation would be that Piccolo was unsure of who was stronger so he suggested that they were "on par" with each other which suggests a minimal difference between the two. Super Buu acknowledged Gotenks' power but only considered Gohan his...
I understand what you are saying but the statement doesn't directly suggest what you are arguing for. It could literally be interpreted that Blue is a transformation that exceeds God and I've already given you the context to support it. Had Goku claimed that "it was his new power that exceeded...
That is... not at all what he's saying dude. He's saying that based on the information we are given, the literal interpretation would be that Kid Trunks is comparable to Android Saga Trunks. Because there's significant evidence that blatantly contradicts this, we know that the literal...
I don't think Cell really understands his full power. He creates the Cell Games to test his power. All Cell seems to understand that he has a lot more power but he doesn't know how to measure that objectively which leaves him thinking that he had a chance against Vegeta or Gohan. At least that's...
Many tend to agree that Mecha Frieza was never at full power but even so, I do feel as though the narrative leads us in the direction that Mecha Trunks could easily kill Frieza even if he was at full power.
For one, King Cold recognizes Trunks as the strongest in the universe for eliminating...
Or he didn't envision it being as large of a boost as you think it should be. He envisioned Super Saiyan to be a 10x multiplier after all.
Regardless, this doesn't really address how Trunks explicitly stated that their fusion had progressed so much that an opponent they couldn't beat with...
Don't do what Feats does. I also have limited time as well and prefer getting straight to the point.
I'm not addressing everything because I genuinely think the bottom line is that both Goku and Vegeta firmly believe that a full power blast from SSJ3 Goku can kill Kid Buu after Goku already...
The way I see it is that Buu and Gotenks were equal but Gotenks got the leg up because he was mentally weakened and the mind/spirit is a key component to ki. The only statements we were given were Buu recognizing only Gohan as his strongest and Piccolo suggesting that Buu was stronger because...
Goku does go over it briefly. He refers to Super Saiyan Blue as someone with the power of Super Saiyan God that has gone Super Saiyan. That implies that Blue is the next step for God. This is also inferred based on the reactions the Z Senshi had.
