Dragon Ball Super Discussion Thread 100

Third scan is just a general design philosophy of Toriyama making characters' final transformations appear small (this is not proof)
He also correlates the appearing smaller to getting "littler and stronger" instead of "bigger and stronger"by saying he literally switched that approach around.
First scan just vaguely calls Buu's power "unfathomable" (this is not proof)
Second scan is Vegeta saying Buu's power is beyond what he'd imagined, and at the very end of the page, he proceeds to say that Goku's power is also beyond what he'd imagined (this just supports my point)
These 2 can serve as complementary proof. Gokus power is unfathomable to vegeta while Buus power is unfathomable to Goku. Goku is just far above Vegeta in this instance.
 

idk if anything else apart from scaling is appreciated here but i thought this was really cool, i don’t believe it’s official though which is a shame

He says he switches between each approach, which just makes this incredibly vague. And going by feats, Super Buu is far superior.

Buu's power is not unfathomable to Goku, it's unfathomable to Vegeta. Vegeta, in fact, compares Goku and Buu by basically saying both of their powers are beyond his imagination.

There's no "complementary proof" here. These are not proof.

Here Toriyama literally confirms what the interviewer says how he wants to make the smaller ones seem more stronger despite that being "contradictory".
and he also said that he kept switches between both of those, also one of the example given was young goku, which i don't need to explain why he wasn't the strongest character do i?

So Android 13 is based on another one of Gero's sons...

Well, people were theorizing he was how Gero looked like when he was younger, close enough.

Goku doesn't fit into the description Toriyama gave but Frieza and Kid Buu does. Goku infact gets bigger and stronger so contextually it's referring to Frieza and Kid Buu.

Kid Goku is mentioned in the interview. Thus, he is part of the discussion. You can't simply remove counterevidence just because you don't like it

Ok then how about this. Kid Goku is portrayed as strong but since he is a kid he is also small leading to a contradictory view. Kid Buu and Frieza however fit way more into line what the author is thinking about this (becoming smaller and stronger instead of bigger and stronger) and is implying Kid Buu is also strongest incarnation of him because of this. Still fits right? Still makes sense right?
 
So you're acknowledging that this can also refer to not just "smaller form = stronger," but also just the idea of appearing small and being deceptively strong, which is a perfect description for Kid Buu

Again, going by feats, Super Buu is much stronger. In fact, only the anime calls Kid Buu the strongest form of Buu.

"that the strong ones get stronger and bigger" Toriyama says he wants to flip this notion so now it becomes "that the strong ones gets smaller and stronger" literally makes perfect sense with exactly what was said.

Except he goes on to say that he flip flops between going against the "bigger = stronger" cliche and going with it
 
Correct if I'm wrong, but if I recall correctly, when transforming from the tall, swollen, hulking Buff Buu into the smaller, leanier, less built Kid Buu, Vegeta comments that he got weaker. I'm probably just wrong, though.

No. When Super Buu became Buff Buu, Goku and Vegeta saw his power level growing; when Buff Buu became Kid Buu, no one observed his power level dropping in any manner; his ki or strength were never discussed negatively. Once he transformed into Kid Buu he appears less physically frightening when he is tiny, and they begin to claim they can beat him. This means, at least that Kid Buu is stronger than Super Buu or at the very least equal.
Goku also remarked that Kid Buu was manageable, despite being deathly terrified of Super Buu.

Goku later remarks that buu was stronger than he imagined. Saying he tried to act cool, and that they should have used the potara fusion methode. And The Daizenshuu affirms that full power Goku wouldn't be able to beat kid buu. Vegeta also does the same thing, calling him strong and fast despite knowing the existence of prior Buus. This is somewhat a common trend when they at first underestimate an opponent because they do not match or exceed their expectation in appearance: Gohan when seeing Fat Buu at first, says he thought he would be bigger and that he got a huge ki but doesn't think they are hopeless. And thinks he can even kill him at full power. When Fat Buu one taps Dabura, Gohan is surprised and impressed in terror by his power. He decides to run away instead of fighting him. Buu of course defeats him with no difficulty. It's the same thing with dabura , we all know what happened to him after... And these (Vegeta somehow repeats this mistake with Kid Buu) scans are self-explanatory.
 
This means, at least that Kid Buu is stronger than Super Buu or at the very least equal.
Not at all. Goku was confident that facing Super Buu without the Potara earrings was going to result in the two being killed, and Buu viewed Super Saiyan Goku as insignificant, as "like being bitten by a flea". Not only that, but knowing that their Potara were destroyed, Buu himself was certain that Goku and Vegeta were easily manageable, fearing only Vegito, which Goku and Vegeta confirm. Hell, Buutenks reverting to Buucollo, with Piccolo being impossibly inferior to even Goku in his base form, was not enough for Goku to consider battling Buu himself.

Also, Gotenks scaling, but that is merely icing.

This means...
...the fact that Goku and Vegeta even humored the idea of battling Kid Buu means that his Ki dropped after explicitly rising from a point that Goku considered impossible to confront, let alone defeat. Kibito Kai even confirmed that, upon Good Buu being removed, Super Buu was reverting into his original form, cycling through his multiple different previous phases, including Buff Buu, which is the direct result of Buu absorbing the South Supreme Kai. With Good Buu removed from his body, the South Supreme Kai, the source behind Buff Buu's strength, is removed, too, which means Kid Buu is not as strong as Buff Buu.

Is not like Goku has never demonstrated the ability to inflict significant damage upon Kid Buu.
He has.
Twice, in fact.

The only reason "Even a full power Goku [failed to] defeat [Buu]" is because, by the time Vegeta even proposed the idea, Goku needed an entire minute to build up the Ki required to pull off his end-all be-all attack, and when he did nearly reach full power, his Ki quickly began to wane, to the point where he failed to even launch the Super Spirit Bomb properly.

How so, i even addressed in the OP that even without the neutral zones argument, the overarching timeline would still grant low 1-C.
You really shouldn't have brought that 6D stuff tbh. Should have kept it at 5D first. You know how difficult it is for db updates

The after that, try to take it to 6D

5D timeline was basically a done deal, because the neutral zone was already agreed to be an insignificant 5D

I know we are in the 'omg all you db supporters do is cry' phase right now but that thread fishy as hell. 6D stuff is wild but the arguments against the crt have been mediocre at best
Very much, the major arguments are complete denial of 2c universes which has been accepted for months, or complete denial of the neutral zone having its own time axis and overarching the universes which was agreed on in the first thread
 
This doesn't disprove the idea that Super Buu=<Kid buu or both being equal. When the same Super Buu that you are describing his feats transforms, Vegeta notes that his chi rises and never says it got lower. This means, Kid buu cannot be weaker than Super Buu based on that and would atleast scale from him.
Goku was scared of facing super Buu, he knew they'd be killed if Thur faced him without the potara


Only reason Goku couldn't beat kid Buu was that he didn't know ho ssj3 worked in his normal form, even Vegeta thought he was holding back

There is no statement nor any evidence to support the claim that Super Buu after transforming and buffing up while rising is chi, gets lower after becoming kid buu. If it were the case, they would have stated that his ki dropped , not that it increased has it doesnt make anysense as it should have dropped the moment Super Buu lost Fat Buu going with your argument. Even if the good buu or south supreme kai (and if that was also true for good buu than for sure, when he lost him, Kid Buu would have been fodder, and wouldn't require Ssj3 building up power to kill kid buu has the two saiyans would have know that he got "weaker"yet they never once comment upon him getting weaker from that . He wouldn't be able to deal with a genki dama comprised of genki from people such has ultimate gohan) were removed he was never stated to be weaker than when his chi was rising from buff buu to kid buu. In fact, Super Buu himself states, he won't be himself if they take out good buu from him, he himself never stated he would be any weaker. And, if kid buu was somehow weaker, it doesn't make sense has to why , Kibito kai would be sweating having a look of fear on his face for what it is to come, after kid buu's presence if somehow he his weaker than Super Buu. As even if he his the most troublesome, it wouldn't matter if he his significantly weaker and can therefor be delt easily.

Also, When Super Buu was formed by absorbing good buu, piccolo states that his Ki changed and was better suited for battle but never states it got bigger. This is supported when goku also senses Super Buu's ki but never states that it got stronger or increased despite the fact that this same goku could sense the increase in ki of Fat Buu. Dabura also makes the point that, they cannot use the ki of gods like shin or kibito for majin buu to absorb it and reach full power. This means, Kid Buu's ki could not have risen when he absorbed South and Dai Kaioshin (Super Buu and Fat Buu Respectively). Dende In Super also makes a point that, Kid Buu, the ones that got reincarnated into Uub was the most formidable enemy Goku had to face, despite the existences of other Buu's such has Super Buu that he was there to see and witness. When the Kaioshins are taken away from Super Buu, his ki begins to increase instead of decreasing. In a small bonus tangent in the anime, it's stated by Kibito Shin that through absorption (referring to kid buu) had allowed his power to even be reduced. Thus, that would prove and steelman my arguments and why his chi increased instead of decreasing, it would also support the argument of the kaioshin's ki not making him stronger when he absorbs that and why he would be equal or very likely stronger than Super Buu.


Them humoring the idea of beating Kid buu is their own character flaw, it doesn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that somehow Buff Buu got weaker or something. As they were blatantly incorrect and proven wrong after they fought him. It's no difference than Vegeta after seeing semi-perfect cell becoming perfect cell, still thinks he can easly beat him. Despite the fact that Cell was suppressed, something vegeta doesnt notice. By your logic and your argument, because vegeta thought he could also beat perfect cell, it must mean that when perfect cell transformed, his ki must have become weaker or not change at all for vegeta to make such claim that he can beat him before the fight starts. In a similar manner , kid buu was simply having fun when fighting ssj3 goku. He was so suppressed at one point that even hercule could tank 1 punch from him. The reason they thought they could beat him was because kid buu doesn't look physically impressive vegeta called him "little friend", not because his ki was weaker. I already went over this point above, were they often underestimate their opponents based only on their physical appearance.

I never said Goku has never demonstrated the ability to inflict significant damage upon Kid Buu. Inflicting relevant damage and outright beating and killing buu are two different concepts. In that tangent base goku also did something similar to Buutenks.Vegeta being able to blow off the lower part of Kid buu. Mssj goku being able to blow off the upper body of perfect cell. Or vegeta'S final flash doing relevant damage to perfect cell. Even SSJ Gotenk was also able to do significant damage to Super Buu. Yet, he needed ssj3 to not only reach the level of power of Super Buu when he escaped the time chamber, but also be able to finally get rid of him. The point being, it doesn't mean they are relative to their respective opponents in strength, unless you think ssg2 vegeta or mssj goku being both stronger than perfect cell. But obviously, the two feats you shown proves nothing has, it doesn't matter for Buu when he can simply regenerate as even regular bullets can pierce threw Super Buu's skin.

The Daizenshuu makes it clear that even if he was at full power, it wouldn't matter. Kid Buu, didn't even care what Goku did. Goku was standing still building up chi, since kid buu would have logically retain the ability to sense ki just like super Buu he would have simply blitz vegeta and stop goku at any point he wanted if it was somehow a problem. The only time we see a worry on kid buu's face is when the genki dama is completed and goku uses it against kid buu.

This is already going in circles I already have the evidences to this in my above replies. Super buu when buffing up, had his ki risen and was never stated to be reduced when becoming kid buu. Meaning, kid buu cannot be weaker than Super Buu. The only reason, the two saiyans weren't scared of kid buu was because of his not impressive physique. They both later admit, they were wrong and that kid buu his much stronger than they thought, goku admits the potara's could have done it too. Meaning, if you think ssj3 goku even at fp couldn't beat super buu, than he would not be able to beat kid buu ether that way.

iiiii doont carreee
If his Ki is explicitly stated to have "changed", and is never implied to have lowered, then his Ki increased, no?
Oh? "In every way he is more powerful still."?
Kibito is a Core Person, but he is NOT a god of ANY sort. Furthermore, the "pure energy" Babidi required to break Buu's shell and resurrect the Majin is scarcely elaborated upon, being harvested not only directly from the body (e.g., Gohan) but through damage, too.

Why the Supreme Kai and Kibito are incompatible donors for Majin Buu is unknown.
This means, Kid Buu's ki could not have risen when he absorbed South and Dai Kaioshin (Super Buu and Fat Buu Respectively).
Except, when reverting into Buff Buu, the form he took after absorbing the South Supreme Kai, his Ki is explicitly stated to have risen. Thanks, Daizenshuu 7, by the way.
Technically speaking, Goku never faced Super Buu.
In fact, again, he actively avoided confronting Super Buu out of fear of being murdered.
And, even if his brief interactions with Super Buu are counted, yes, Kid Buu is his "most formidable" foe, being "the most difficult" Buu and all.
When the Kaioshins are taken away from Super Buu, his ki begins to increase instead of decreasing.
Firstly, anime.
Secondly, "his heart".
The heart that the evil, "evil incarnate", "pure rage" Buu lacks.
He's not ******* Super Buu.
 
Apparently, in the original Japanese dialogue, Kibito Kai said that the South Supreme Kai was "somehow" absorbed by Buu, which implies a level of relativity? Besides, the South Supreme Kai is never stated to be among the Kai that attempted to draw the Z-Sword.

the thing is, @TiltedFN argue that Neutral Space has it own time axis then the overarching timeline which encompass them which is the another time axis thus 6D, which is..................by all mean, a complete made up shit that i also disagree if i have permission to talk on that thread
