Multiplying the highest battle power makes much more sense... especially within the context of the statements and logic.withheldforprivacy said:Saylé said:The implications suggest that the Potara fusion multiplies the higher battle power.

Math wise, it applying to the lowest level is the only way to make reasonable PLs, unless you want to have Gotenks weaker than Piccolo.
Papasmurf said:Not saying that any of you in particular believes this, but Vegetto > Gokan is ridiculous considering the astronomically large gap between Gohan and Vegeta at that point
Rivalry boost be damned, it wasn't even enough to bring Vegetto to where he could fight Gohan-Boo who isn't even 2x Gohan unless transformed to SSJ. Vegetto > Gokan literally relies on Gokan either getting almost no boost from Super Saiyan (despite it being stated he'd get stronger), or barely getting stronger than Gohan at all. Ergo, it's just Vegetto fapping

Goku was sure that a fusion between Gohan and himself would be able to handle Bootenks, yet Gogeta is no match for Boohan.
Exactly!!!Zoro said:What I posted on DBZF a long time ago.
I've come across something very interesting here that may or may not relate to Vegerot's Base power.
"I thought you'd be tougher."
Now, I'm not sure what the original version has here, but this seems pretty decent to me. Could this mean that Vegerot simply transformed into Super Saiyan for security, not because he needed it? Similarly to how Future Trunks used Super Saiyan against Future 17 and 18; as he may not have needed it there.
What's more, this kind of throws the claim of "Vegetto is weak because he was surprised at his own strength" out the window. He literally states that he hadn't even shown his full power yet, so his surprise at being so powerful doesn't need to mean that his Base form is weak.
