Rilld is stronger only than Mr. Boo.

Goku: “The universe certainly is a big place, huh? To think that I should come across someone with a Ki as large as yours... It's even greater than Boo's.”

If Gokuu was referring to Super or Pure Boo, he would have specified. "The evil Boo from back then"

He doesn't, so he's talking about Mr. Boo, because that's the only Boo who's still alive.

Is this some implication you got from the japaness dialogue? Because in english there’s no indication of Boo’s current status.

Kid Boo would make the most sense because that’s the power Oob matches, and even back in EoZ Goku seemed to have reached that level.

Stop citing the Funimation dub

I’m talking about the sub you fucking retard. I never watched that shitty yankee dub.

 

[Scott]

Didn't you say you started with GT on Nicktoons lol

Pump the brakes on the yankee slur.

 

[GSM123]

No? Tf you on about?

Anyway, is the implication Boo is alive something the sub missed, or did you just make that up?

 

[Power Level Guy]

If Gokuu was referring to Super or Pure Boo, he would have been referring to Boo in the past tense, because Super/Pure Boo are dead.

Now apply this logic to when Goku talks about Dabura = Cell. Is Cell alive lol

 

[Power Level Guy]

Scott they never compare to their friends. Hey he's as strong as Piccolo means jack. For narrative purposes always assume they are comparing to former top villain. That gives the quote pizzaz and sucks you in. It's the ultmate, "Ish bout to get real"

Narrative, narrative, narrative my dear Scotty.

 

[Scott]

For the record, it was a mistranslation in the Funimation subtitles that Trunks implied Gokuu, Vegeeta, Gohan, and Piccolo were the only people on Earth stronger than him

Scott they never compare to their friends.

"You're stronger than Gohan was back then" Vegeeta upon seeing SS2 Gokuu

 

[Power Level Guy]

"You're stronger than Gohan was back then" Vegeeta upon seeing SS2 Gokuu

Gohan was the standard bearer at the time. The one who surpassed the villain.

Namek soldiers are even stronger than Vegeta. Androids are even stronger than Freeza. Not SSJ Goku.

Dabura is even with Cell.

And so on.

So it's more about the "standard bearer" status. Mr. Buu is not standard bearer. He's a nothing. It's like saying someone is stronger than Piccolo. No one gives a damn.

The story has to make sense Scott. The story is trying to be sexy. Kid Buu being surpassed is sexy. Mr. Buu being surpassed is lame as GSM said.

Chapter: 168, P4.2-P.5.1
Yamcha: “That guy’s pretty darn good too…”
Kuririn: “Man, I give up…why does this tournament have to be a collection of such incredible guys?...”
Goku: “Piccolo’s doppelganger, huh?...But his power is way greater than the previous Piccolo…Seems that he’s done some substantial training too…”

I guess Piccolo Daimao is alive since there’s no past tense?

Gohan was the standard bearer at the time.

You said they never mention their friends, don't beckpedal

When did I say anything about past tense?

So you were proven right on that. It's not a backpedal, it's an amendment. That's how it works. When my position is wrong, I have to amend it. So the amended position is that villains are typically the standard bearers, but it's possible for the previous strongest to be as well.

 

[Scott]

It's not a backpedal, it's an amendment.

Nah, you backpedaled lol

They don't always bring up the last villain when they do their assessments. If you think Gokuu meant Pure Boo, cool beans, but you can't prove it. We do know that Mr. Boo is much stronger than Trunks in GT, though, so make of that as you will

孫悟空 「フッ｡ 全く 宇宙は広えな｡ こんな すげえ気を持ったやつに 出会えるなんてよ｡ こりゃ ブウ以上だぜ｡」
Songokū: "Fu~tsu. Mattaku uchū wa hiro e na. Kon'na suge e ki o motta yatsu ni deaeru nante yo. Korya bū ijōda ze".
Son Gokuu: Huh. The universe is a big place, huh? To think I'd meet someone with such an incredible Ki. It's even greater than Boo".

Gokuu talks as if he's never met anyone as strong as Rilld, so that would imply Rilld is stronger than the strongest version of Boo that he met.

But who says Mr. Boo isn't the strongest Boo at this point? It's been 15 years since he fought Pure Boo.

 

[SSJ2]

I have yet to see any compelling evidence to go against my interpretation.

 

[Scott]

Fat Boo is stronger than Pure Boo in GT
