Oozaru gives 10x boost in speed

This nonsense Oozaru gives no speed boost ends today.

Injured Gohan is on his last legs. Bro is KO’d on the floor. He goes Oozaru and is clearly stronger and at least just as fast as Vegeta, who was strong enough to dog walk Yajirobe who should be around 1,000.

This definitively proves the Oozaru provided no speed boost is false.

If Oozaru Vegeta had speed equal to his power, Goku would've been dead before he could bat an eye.

AT had Paragus openly state that Broly's Ikari form allowed him to use Oozaru power in an agile human body as opposed to the slow, hulking Oozaru transformation.

Imo bulky transformations that still increase speed like Oozaru and Grade 2 have disproportionately low speed in comparison to their power. When you observe Vegeta's fight with Semi Cell you notice he relies much more on heavy-hitting single attacks rather than barrages of attacks that he frequently employed in his previous forms. And Grade 2 having slower speed than its power can provide a (admittedly not flawless) explanation for why it was viewed as an obsolete form.

This is one of the cases where I don't think speed = power, for Vegeta's case. Vegeta might have Yajirobe + level power, but he wasn't even capable of flying away when Oozaru Gohan was falling on him. I think his speed is gone.

He doesn't call it slow. He's talking about the size being an encumberance. I just checked it.

Piccolo is a better fighter at his normal size than his giant size. That's all paragus is implying I think

Piccolo is a worse fighter because he literally gets as big as a mountain and Goku can jump into his mouth. When he was only Oozaru sized his size wasn't a hindrance for him.

But what speed did he use against Yajirobe? He just one shotted him.
What? Bro dodges Yajirobe's strikes.

It's still not optimal. If Piccolo getting big made his life easier, he'd do it all the time.

Oozaru is still way too big, it's a giant form. If you can have the same power and speed at regular size, it's better. That's all Paragus is saying. He's not saying he gains speed now and not before.

Piccolo's power doesn't increase in the least in his giant form, he even said so himself. Oozaru multiplies Ki output by 10x, Goku never said he had gotten so much faster, and if he did, such an increase in size would just make him hit harder with his weight. I fail to see how it would be encumbersome at equal speeds.

Also, Zarbon, whose transformation doesn't even double his power, said the Oozaru form just makes the Saiyan unnecessarily large. Sounds like it isn't a speed increaser to me, if it were then Zarbon and Dodoria would have no way whatsoever to defeat Saiyan arc Vegeta once he gets his fake moon out. The Oozaru form has to have a speed/agility weakness.

Small Piccolo is a more optimal fighter than Giant Piccolo. Every version. Piccolo's own actions prove it.

He's just comparing his transformation to Saiyans. You are seeing things being implied that aren't there.

We already have an Oozaru who increased his speed over his humanoid form. That's not up for debate anymore.

Nowhere is it explicitly stated it has such a weakness. This is a fan theory that has gotten out of control and developed further.

The only reason this idea exists is because I've never really looked into the Saiyan Saga. I would have ended this thing years ago if I had known it was such a debate.

Also I just checked the Japanese version of Broly, it specifically said the Oozaru forms movements are slow.
Show me the quote. Lumbering can be a synonym for slow, but doesn't need to be in this context.

I checked the English subtitles.

Yeah, all of Freeza's empire is cooked if Vegeta turns Oozaru. They got no chance against him.

Paragus specifically said ugoki ga nibui Oozaru no henshin which translates to "the giant monkey transformation with dull movement," which is basically calling it slow and uncoordinated.
