@ahill1 that's a good point. I think the fact that Namu had already witnessed the after image in the tournament would help him to be ready for it. He also seemed like a more refined martial artist in general. I do have them about equal though
@GreatSaiyaman123 What kind of gap do you think Tao Pai Pai had over Goku initially? The way he was manhandling Bora with 2 fingers makes me think it's multi-fold, possibly as much as 5x.
Goku’s Kamehameha ruined his clothes even though Tao blocked it. I’m not sure how cloth durability works, but it seems like a smaller gap than Goku vs Old Daimao.
I’m not sure how to compare Goku vs Tao and Goku vs Bora because Tao actually used a spear to kill Bora, and we don’t know how Bora compares to Goku. We do see Goku take a kick from Tao and Tao apparently needs to block Goku’s Kamehameha though.
Honestly the spear is irrelevant. He was dominating Bora with 2 fingers and even launched him into the sky. He at least had to kick Goku and was surprised that he survived the attack. I think Bora is at best around 21st Goku\Jackie level.
