“Someone strong, like you”

[GSM123]

Not sure if it changes anything, but Goku actually says "Us and Boo" like they're all going to win.

Doesn't Goku later say the Sigma Force got his power wrong because he was holding back all along? Sounds like he didn't even need to transform against Redjic and Lood. That makes way more sense because never even hints at the idea of Goku getting stronger fighting fodder.

The anime keeps Goku's line about saying someone other than them(he an Vegeta) or Buu might win. With Kid Buu as the strongest Buu, this becomes a contradiction if you have base Goku near to that level, as he should be so far ahead of Buu that Buu couldn't possibly win. Goku Groupons himself, Vegeta, and Buu as potential winners of the tournament means that the gap between them all is close enough that it could go any of three ways.

if you have base Goku stronger than Buuhan then you'd have to give Mr. Buu a power up to make sense of that. Or base Goku isn't nearly as strong as Kid Buu and closer to Mr. Buu, and Uub only had limited access to Kid Buu's power level.

Oob having limited access to Kid Boo's power doesn't seem to be suggested. The narrative seems to be that Goku is expecting Kid Boo's reincarnate and gets exactly what he expected. In terms of the anime I'm not too concerned about needing an explanation for Mr. Boo powering up. He had the same amount of time as everyone else to grow stronger, it shouldn't be a problem.

A mere human having power somewhat above Mr. Buu should be confirmation that Kid Buu has been reincarnated. How the hell else could he get that power?

That isn't the point. The point is Goku's expectations. He expects Kid Boo, he gets Kid Boo.

I don't think it's exactly stated that the power level Goku sensed was equal to Kid Buu. Uub being a child with Mr. Buu+ level power would confirm he's Kid Buu's reincarnation.

But Goku was expecting Oob to already have control of his power. He came for the rematch, he's indeed expecting Kid Boo.

What's the quote?

I don't remember the exact quote, but I think it's either when the Sigma Force has Goku in the lab and are studying him, or when he wakes up and trounces them.

His rage burst at the end should be Kid Buu's power. Goku says he matched his expectations.

I guess for the last burst. Before then he might not have hit Goku with kid Buu strength.

 

[Power Level Guy]

Yeah, that's how I always took it. He's around Mr. Buu's level of power more or less, and that last rage burst brings out his full strength.
