Son Gohan vs Tao Pai-Pai and Akkuman

[SSJ2]

Grandpa Gohan vs FP Tao and Akkuman with his pitchfork weapon. No devilmite beam.

 

[Castiel]

If Gohan doesn't fuck around he should be able to take them down. When Goku got serious against Akkuman he creamed him, and while Tao proved to be slightly more of a threat, the fight was still pretty one sided. I'm backing Gohan.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Yeah, I don't think Akkuman can make too much of a difference and Tao got defeated clear as day by Goku so it shouldn't be too different with Grand-Pa Gohan.

 

[GSM123]

Gohan wins. The duo could take Goku down though.

 

[SSJ2]

Gohan can win but Goku cant? Huh?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Akkuman is oneshot material to Gohan, so he won't prove a decent distraction. The most Taopaipai will be able to do is draw blood as he did against Galu, but not much more. Gohan wins with mid-diff at most.

Skill. He's considerably more trained than Goku by this point.

Akkuman is oneshot material to Gohan, so he won't prove a decent distraction. The most Taopaipai will be able to do is draw blood as he did against Galu, but not much more. Gohan wins with mid-diff at most.

Weren't Kuririn and Gohan also one shot fodder to Freeza though? And they were still useful according to Vegeta.

Oneshotting is plot dependant, and Kuririn and Gohan were never explicitly shown or stated to be necessarily oneshot material. They'd also have far better teamwork than two people who have very little experience in fighting as a pair.

 

[Big Ank]

Team's work effect seems to be also plot dependant on a lot of situations. Even Vegeta seems kind of afraid that Goku (with a 5,000 battle power), could pose a threat to them were him to team up with Piccolo and Gohan (Kuririn was out of the game), despite the two aforementioned warriors being basically a third worth of Nappa's full power. I just don't know how to take team work in most situations, it will depend on how the author wants to treat it, I guess.

 

[p123]

Gohan has no chance here. Tao is already going to be a lot from Gohan to deal with, adding any help to Tao makes this an easy win. Gohan vs Tao should look like Freeza vs Goku right before Goku quits, that last hand to hand display.

 

[DBZAOTA482]

I give Gohan Sr. the edge over pretty boy and the devil.

 

[p123]

How? You guys are crazy. Zarbon and Dodoria can definitely beat Vegeta.

 

[GSM123]

Vegeta says he can beat both of them.

Not to mention their perfomances definitely imply otherwise. Both got ragdolled, how fighting together is making them win? The odds of them winning are really small.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

How? You guys are crazy. Zarbon and Dodoria can definitely beat Vegeta.

It would still take more than a single punch/kick for Vegeta to oneshot Dodoria, which is far more than can be said for Akkuman fighting against Gohan.

 

[p123]

There is power in numbers. Krillen made himself useful against Nappa and Freeza. He should have technically been one shotted, but do to having help, he wasn't. Plot too of course, but that's besides the point.

Gohan is going to have his hands full with Tao. Devil will be able to offer some help. Jeice is one shot range to Goku, yet he makes all the difference in the world when Ginyu fights Goku. That really goes to show you how much of an effect having one person on a similar level changes this.

Gohan would get handled quite easily but Tao and Devil imo.

 

[p123]

Vegeta's statement doesn't mean at the same time.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

There is power in numbers. Krillin made himself useful against Nappa and Freeza. He should have technically been one shotted, but do to having help, he wasn't. Plot too of course, but that's besides the point.

Kuririn is a seasoned martial artist with a good variety in techniques. Whilst Akkuman ought to have some credibility when having won a Tenkaichi Budokai, he seems a one trick pony with just his pitchfork and Akkumite Beam going for him, the latter of which is restricted here. Hardly a fair comparison

Gohan is going to have his hands full with Tao. Devil will be able to offer some help. Jeice is one shot range to Goku, yet he makes all the difference in the world when Ginyu fights Goku. That really goes to show you how much of an effect having one person on a similar level changes this.

An off-guard attack interrupting a 1 on 1 battle between opponents fighting on roughly equal levels, if not Ginyu having the advantage, is hardly comparable to a battle where one character knows both opponents will be working as a team and one of the strongest of the two's greatest accomplishment was dealing some very light, superficial damage to an opponent who was Gohan's equal.

 

[p123]

Devil Man is a seasoned martail artist. He's a two time Budokai winner. His Devil Mite Beam has a chance to solo every single character in Dragonball Z/Super and so on.

Gohan states Goku is superior. Tao got beaten handily by Goku, but Tao is no slouch. Gohan will have less of an advantage and with some help. This should even be a topic.

This is like Zarbon vs Vegeta except Zarbon now has Guru Powered Up Krillen to help him. Vegeta wouldn't have a chance.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Devil Man is a seasoned martail artist. He's a two time Budokai winner.

Which as I said, means little when aside from raw power he only has his pitchfork going for him.

His Devil Mite Beam has a chance to solo every single character in Dragonball Z/Super and so on.

Which is irrelevant when the OP specifies the Akkumite Beam isn't allowed.

Gohan states Goku is superior. Tao got beaten handily by Goku, but Tao is no slouch. Gohan will have less of an advantage and with some help. This should even be a topic.

He states Goku is superior yes, but the actual feats show it's not by much, likely only by a minimal amount. Taopaipai shouldn't be capable of performing any better against Gohan given how much difficulty the old man gave Goku, even ignoring the tail grab.

This is like Zarbon vs Vegeta except Zarbon now has Guru Powered Up Krillin to help him. Vegeta wouldn't have a chance.

Not only are the two situations hardly comparable when taking into account Kuririn's feats of skill far surpass those of Akkuman's, but there's little, if any, evidence what you say here would indeed be the case when Vegeta was tooling Zarbon and Kuririn is fodder to both. If you want to defend this point, you could at least use a more solid example from the series such as say, Gohan + Kuririn + Vegeta > Transformed Freeza.

 

[p123]

I don't think that the group can be transformed freezer

I doubt he needed the bean to win the Buddha guys, Krillin ever won a Budokai

I was just giving you a hypothetical of the Power Ranges that I see matching up as an equivalent for this fight
