What was Goku referring to when he said that even with a 5fold Kaioken he couldn't beat Ape Vegeta?

Yaay, I love candies.

It doesn't have to be larger if take the filler scene (Gohan vs 4th Form Freeza) into consideration.
That scene was the stupidest shit in the world. Gohan gets his ass handed to him while mad against Vegeta mere episodes later, and he'd already given most of his Ki to Piccolo by then lmao. The boost is literally plot breaking.

It can work if we give Gohan two levels of rage: normal rage (2x) and super rage (3x). How's this?

SAIYANS SAGA

Gohan
-base: 1,400
-normal rage (Nappa): 2,800
-super rage (Vegeta): 4,200

FREEZA SAGA

Freeza 3rd Form: 2,120,000

Freeza 4th Form
-initial: 3,180,000

Vegeta
-initial: 3,200,000
-anime-filler power up: 4,800,000

Gohan
-base: 1,050,000
-normal rage (3rd form Freeza): 2,100,000
-super rage (4th form Freeza): 3,150,000

If we assume Freeza went back to his very initial suppression when he unbuffed his muscles and was attacked by Gohan, it can work.

He had time to rest.
Resting doesn't restore ki like that. The time frame is far too small. Dende is dead so he wasn't healed.

The anime makes mistakes sometimes and that's ok. Let's not pretend they are perfect. You should focus on the filler that actually makes sense.

It makes sense. Gohan seemed pretty rested.

Ki restoration doesn’t work that way. Gohan would need at least full day recovery, full nights sleep, lots of meals, it’s probably more than one day of recovery.
Maybe Freeza and Vegeta were weakened too. Who said coming back to life also restores your stamina?

Because he was at full strength when he was still dead on King Kai's planet.
The Earthlings in the Boo saga were all at full strength too even though they all got brutally murdered by a pink blob.

Being murdered doesn't reduce your stamina per se. Vegeta was already at low stamina when he was murdered by Freeza.

Sure it does. Your Ki drops to zero when you're murdered, and a good chunk of Earthlings got blown right up in to smithereens. Kibito also came back to life in full condition. Why would Vegeta be any different? I'd see a point if we were discussing someone as powerful as SSJ2/3 tiers and above, but weaklings up to Kibito's level (who's still above Namek Vegeta) seem to be fully restored no problem.
