Is SSJ3 Goku > SSJ Gotenks > Fat Boo possible?

Given that base Gotenks fought fat Buu and could still walk afterward I think it's pretty doubtful that SSJ3 goku is that close to SSJ Gotenks.

You'd have to assume that SSJ3 Goku was heavily suppressed against Fat Boo to make it work. Something like SSJ3 Goku FP > SSJ Gotenks > SSJ3 Goku suppressed > Fat Boo

Which is not suggested anywhere in the story. What is suggested is that SSJ Gotenks will be stronger than Goku and it was never questioned after the fact.

The truth is that I agree with you too much.

The only doubt Piccolo had about Gotenks SSJ (Pre) defeating Fat Boo was his speed. Then Gotenks SSJ surprised Piccolo with his spectacular speed.

Gotenks SSJ (Pre) is slightly stronger than Goku SSJ3 (Arc Boo).

Why heavily? I didn’t suggest any of the gaps were big. All 3 of them are in the same range.

What the story establishes is that Gotenks is stronger than Boo and a Goku who had yet to show his hand.

Then why would he be suppressed at all? What sense does that make to suppress to 95% of his power for the sake of keeping the numbers tight?

It's not possible because Gotenks was confident in performing much better than Vegeta against Buu without even turning into a SSJ, meaning that Base Gotenks scaled between SSJ2 Majin Vegeta and SSJ3 Goku, turning into a SSJ would make him x50 stronger and therefore far surpassing SSJ3 Goku because of simple math.

Even if you go with the lower SSJ mutliplier theory (which makes no sense but whatever), Goku told Buu that someone stronger than him would appear to defeat him which means that SSJ Gotenks would scale above SSJ3 Goku. You would need to argue Goku lied to Buu for no reason in order to put SSJ Gotenks below SSJ3 Goku.

If Boo is like 75% then Goku is probably at 80%. Gotenks could be 90%?

I want to see if some crunching is possible for Daima/BoG. If SSJ Goku ~ Kid Boo (As per DBS manga) and SSJ3 Goku is at least close to SSJ3 Gotenks (If Goku losing to Beerus means Earth is doomed) then SSJ Gotenks Post shouldn’t far surpass Kid Boo.

Goku ( BOG Saga) > Goku (Buu Saga).

Goku and Vegeta are confirmed to be the strongest warriors in the Universe by Vegeta meaning that they surpassed Ultimate Gohan in just their SSJ2 states, therefore Earth is doomed if Goku loses.

In the DBS manga chapter 1, SSJ Goku was going to fight Kid Boo in image training. He just one shot Freeza and Cell and got serious for Boo, so that wasn’t going to be a one shot. What do you make of that?

The anime and the manga scale different, I believe Goku in the manga isn't implied in any moment to be stronger than Gohan. Are we sure Goku was about to get serious against Kid Buu? I don't remember how it went, could you show a scan or something?

Welcome man! Hope you enjoy it here! Hope this forum gets all that activity it used to have again. Tbh, this is by far the best community I've ever been in.

It seems to be heading in that direction.
