@GreatSaiyaman123 That's a surface level way of looking at it. A technique can be improved, but the characteristics of the technique should be considered when judging how it's improved. Attacks that impact the user's life are generally avoided by fighters; that's why they're often portrayed as...

@GreatSaiyaman123 So given that the Kikoho is a technique that draws on one's life energy, you think Tien can somehow increase it (and to a vast extent)? Curious about the logic behind that.

What PLs would you estimate for both of their blasts in their brief clash? It's interesting that Tien resorted to a Kikoho for a blast that was intended to kill Dende. Was it a case of Buu using way more power than necessary, or Tien?

Frieza really seemed to be in complete control of the situation. While Vegeta did have confidence, it was partially based on the idea that the team's powers would eventually grow great enough to win and that he'd become a Super Saiyan in the process; it was basically wishful thinking, to put it...

Either Buu takes him out, or screws both of them over along with the universe.

Well we both acknowledge that these are fights, so semantics isn't the issue. I just struggle to see how the reasoning behind a battle somehow has an affect when it comes to a physical analysis.

@GreatSaiyaman123 Aren't all potential unlocks ultimately for the sake of fighting? It certainly was in the case of Gohan and Krillin too. A fight is a fight at the end of the day, regardless of purpose. I can see what you mean by calling it "doping" though, but not because of the power boost...

It seems that Vegeta's power-up from Babidi tends to be used as an example of essentially "cheating" to get stronger (alongside Vegeta's Blutz Wave SSJ4 power-up in GT, but that isn't the focus here) Is it just due to the themes of villainy and "selling his soul"? If not, what separates it from...

It's not that they're not allies, he just cooperates with them when the situation calls for it - which of course, is mostly in relation to important battles. Another factor is, the other Z Fighters had their own paths they were on as well, even if they were not as distant. E.g. (post-Cell Saga)...

It's likely that Majuub wasn't going all out at first, like the rest. When Vegeta and co. transformed, you can see Majuub powering up as well.

In the Baby/Uub fight, we aren't given a reason to believe that anything other than the Revenge Death Ball itself was getting further powered up. In the Baby/Goku fight, we know that he himself got a power increase because he obtained his final form. Besides each of Baby's transformation boosts...

I see. It could be that Goku's mind was playing tricks on him due to perspective/distance. He didn't say it with certainty. All power statements surrounding Baby's restoration point towards him regaining his strength, rather than hitting a new ceiling of potency.

I still can't find the first statement you're referring to about growth. Can you post it or give a timestamp at least? Regarding the second statement, Goku was being boastful because of his full power SSJ4 state. He didn't find Baby to be as threatening as before despite him technically being...

When did Goku say Golden Oozaru Baby increased in size?

You have to take into account that Goku was under the impression that he himself had gotten stronger and that he stood a chance of winning. Then reality struck, and it was proven that there was no change in Goku's battle power. Therefore, Baby was indeed "too strong" for him. It would be quite...

It seems like it was just a way of boosting his blast at that point, as opposed to his overall stats.

Judging from the scenes, the SBV1 power-up was the combined ki of Baby-infested Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Bulla. The SBV2 power-up was the combined ki of regular Baby-infested earthlings by the looks of it. In other words, quality vs quantity.

In addition to your list: Folklore fits in with the Hunt for the Dragon Balls Arc, considering the introduction of wish-granting orbs and the dragon god. Fantasy is definitely applicable to the Buu Arc with factors like magic, sorcery, possession, etc. playing key parts in the plot.

In that case, to answer the question: It's doubtful that Vegeta was thinking that specifically. He was just taken aback by how much wider the gap between him and Goku became, which was already quite significant. Vegeta tends to have heated moments when Goku achieves a transformation above his...

Are you referring to Ep 55?
