To revive this thread over that, and doing such in a separate thread...
Find another user to obsess over.
The manga would suggest that the situation calls for not only physical strength, but a strong will, with the latter being what Gohan thought he lacked in comparison with his father.
I...
I'd say Vegeta's assessment works as a gist of what's mainly thought of by them. For instance, when a villain has done something unpleasant or sinister before Goku arrives to fight them, he tends to be serious and weighs up how he can use his resources and, as per Kaioken and such, ways to push...
What caught my attention is that Vegeta ascribes behavioral traits for why Goku is that good. While earlier in the arc, Majin Vegeta described Goku as being more gifted than he is. When you think of the term gifted, you usually think of something innate. What Vegeta mentioned in the Kid Buu...
Vegeta's analysis of why Goku is better than him:
Vegeta fights to win, for the fun of it, to kill enemies, and to puff up his pride. Goku fights to better himself and to push his limits.
The question is: if Vegeta used Goku's blueprint early (i.e. after their first fight), would this have...
As dominant as Goku was against SB2, all we know about Baby is that he'd maul Z Vegito essentially. Goku dogwalks ToP no-names and arguably the mid-tier, but struggles against baseline God-tier & above.
Productive debate. It's good to think about relatively lesser explored topics. Common topics have their use, since they refine/sharpen views, but this is refreshing.
It ought to be understood that their target takes precedence over short-term moments of surprise. Given that, prior to that sequence, Goku picked up on the basic idea of: cut these absorption objects to reduce the host's power, then that logic would follow suit with the Buu they found.
The...
If we know Buu doesn't serve another purpose, wouldn't Goku? The only association he had with him was battle.
I don't push back on the idea that danger would linger regardless. However, two things can be true. The canon situation being dangerous, and the concept you propose being even more...
What purpose would Buu serve besides power? Buu can turn anyone on the planet into a snack. And if the other Buu was just a bother, he could kill him. At least with the Z group -- particularly the weak ones or non-fighters -- it can be said that Buu wants to cause fear and panic. Seems pointless...
The boys, Gohan and Piccolo -- who influenced Buu's power -- being in those compartments would be enough to conclude that any strong being caught up in them is going to act as a power source. I claimed that Goku understood that Buu's power was changing - is that something you push back on?
It's...
Kid Buu, being the original, was not spawned from separate Buu's coming together to produce him, so I don't see why he would be part of an Evil Buu/Good Buu equation.
What we do know is Kid Buu > Evil Buu, what we also know is that Kid Buu didn't cause Evil Buu; Fat Buu did. In terms of why Buu...
@ahill1 Wouldn't any confusion be cleared by the time Mr Buu fought Kid Buu? Like you mentioned, Vegeta explained Buu's split and amalgamation while in Buu's insides.
The bulk of your response refers to your thoughts on Z even though I was analysing GT. When you say 'not really', what part of what I said do you disagree with?
In response to your GT point; I don't see the connection. Is a show incapable of mediocrity because there's a character that's...
