    Okay, quick glance through the wiki, SSJ3 Goku did okay against Kid Buu for a short while, but his living body couldn't deal with the energy and couldn't maintain the transformation.

    Yeah that's what I mean. I doubt Mystic Gohan was as powerful, or more powerful, than the SSJ3 form. Goku even said that he probably could've finished him off when they were fighting.

    Mystic Gohan was definitely stronger than SSJ3 Gotenks.

    Well that's the thing, imagine Goku's body (while he fought Buu the first time) as something like a battery. The more energy he used, the quicker the drain. If Goku had his normal body, he probably could've withstood the transformation just fine (like Trunks and Goten, who seemed to show zero strain from the transformation).

    Goku was simply running on borrowed time and couldn't maintain his power if he wanted to still teach the kids fusion.

    As for Frieza, he says his power level was over a million when he was in his second form. Frieza's 100% Final Form had a power level of 120 million.
    Holy crap Broly's power level is 1.4 billion? That's insanity, no wonder it took so much to bring him down.

    That may be true, but don't forget their maturity level and their freshness to the form compared to Goku. Goku had a lot more time in Other World (I think that's what it's called) to practice and master the form, if not utilize it to its fullest potential. Gotenks had less than a day.

    One could argue that, however, with Gohan's mastery of the SSJ2 form during the fight with Cell after just performing the transformation. If you look at his discipline and background, though, you can probably see that he'd be gifted with more control over great power than a couple of rambunctious kids.

    Gotenks couldn't maintain the SSJ3 form either. He lost SSJ3 form before the fusion wore off and had to be saved by Gohan.

    Also, the part I mentioned earlier was after Goku was revived. He did have his normal body, and it couldn't withstand the SSJ3 form for long, and he went back to his base form. That's why he went with the Spirit Bomb instead.

    Mystic was much more powerful. One thing to remember is that Super Buu is far stronger than Kid Buu. Yes, Elder Kai says that absorbing beings weakened Buu, but that's a dubbing mistake. In all other dubs, including the Japanese, and the manga, he specifically says that it pacified Buu. And I think based on context, it's safe to assume he was specifically talking about the absorption of the Grand Supreme Kai.

    Here's a good breakdown of the relative level of power of the characters in the Buu saga. Vegito > Super Buu > Mystic Gohan > SS3 Goku > Kid Buu > SS3 Gotenks > Evil Buu, (Good Buu absorbed) > Fat Buu > Evil Buu > Good Buu > SS2 Vegeta > SS2 Gohan > Dabura >Yakon > Pui Pui > Supreme Kai.

    Yes, Supreme Kai is that much of a bitch.

    It's not that high even when you think about it. Supreme Kai could have taken him. Assuming we can take his word as fact, he claims to be 1000 times stronger than Frieza, which would make his PL 120 billion. And well, Supreme Kai is a bitch at the point in the series when he shows up.

    Huge fan of everything DB/Z/GT forever! Even the filler!

    YES! (Although I would have...maybe skipped Super 17. Maybe. Still had important plot points.)

    Wasn't Dabura slightly stronger than SS2 Gohan? They pretty much fought to a stalemate, but I think Goku said Dabura was a little stronger than Perfect Cell, whereas Gohan was a bit weaker than his teenage self due to lack of training.

    Also, what about Kabito-Kai? And do we know that Yakon and Pui Pui were stronger than Kai?

    ---------- Post added 2012-03-06 at 10:59 PM ----------

    Fun Fact: Yakon is the first character in DBZ to actually be killed by Goku.

    o__O Hm. I thought Kid Buu was stronger than the other forms because he put Goku and Vegeta through a couple of loops while trying to kill him. I guess that's what I get for sticking with my intuition that I formed about it when I was a kid and not looking stuff up. I completely forgot about Goku being revived during the fight with Kid Buu though. I should've remembered because I had one of those good feelings about Goku congrats-ing Vegeta for being brought back to life too (signifying his sins were forgiven).

    It still strikes me odd that Mystic Gohan is stronger than SSJ3 Goku.

    I never realized the power got that high later on in the series, as there is more of just comparisons later on to go by rather then actual levels. Plus I haven't watched it in years. Been getting back into it lately though, just watched the first Broly movie for the first time in years again yesterday. So he was fresh on my mind and I always wondered what his PL actually was.

    And so much for being supreme eh?

    That... almost doesn't surprise me.

    Dabura would have got his shit wrecked if that fight went on much longer. There's a lot of confusion about Gohan's power at that time, me being the ultimate Gohan fanboy, I have tracked down the facts.

    It was Vegeta that said Gohan was stronger as a child, but the reason he said that isn't what you think. Gohan was not SS2 when he fought Dabura, he was FPSS. This is one of the very few cases where the anime cannot be trusted, due to very specific circumstances. SS2 is not animated consistently in the anime. Many believe that lightning marks the appearance of SS2, others believe that for Gohan it's the shape of his hair. Both are wrong. There's only one way to tell for sure, and it's something that only appears in the manga. It's the thickness and sharpness of the aura. This is consistent across the SS2 forms of all characters. There is only a noticeable difference in the manga though. The anime isn't wrong per se, it just doesn't say, and the visual cues that people use to interpret the scenes are wrong.

    Gohan is SS2 at the world martial arts tournament, he's FPSS against Dabura, and he goes SS2 again when he tries to destroy Fat Buu's ball. I suppose I should have included that Dabura > FPSS Gohan. If Gohan went SS2 though, Dabura would have lost hardcore. As for Supreme Kai. We don't know for sure that he was weaker than Pui Pui, but it's a good assumption. We can be 99% sure. He was basically shitting a brick before Pui Pui got chunked by Vegeta, and claimed a few times that Pui Pui is one of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy and it would take all of their combined efforts to defeat him.

    As for Kabito-Kai, fuck if I know. He never does anything, so it's impossible to say. We just know he was stronger than Supreme Kai.

    I used to think Kid Buu was stronger than Super Buu as well, since he was the final Buu of the Saga, and from Kabito-Kai's reaction to Kid Buu's appearance. Seems like Super Buu was a little stronger due to absorbing powerful people, but it also calmed some of his violence due to the good nature of some of his victims. Kid Buu was a complete sadist, whereas even Super Buu had a few momentary lapses in his evil.

    Kid Buu also could have seemed like the strongest because most of those who were at his level were killed when he destroyed Earth, leaving only Goku and Vegita (and they didn't have the earrings anymore). That left Goku as the only person strong enough, but only in the brief time he could retain the SSJ3 form.

    I still want to know why the tits they didn't use smarter wishes. Instead of doing the whole spirit bomb thing and wishing to restore Goku's strength, they could have just wished for Gohan to be teleported to planet Kaishin. Mystic Gohan chunks Kid Buu, problem solved. And the best art is, Hercule gets no glory.

    Oh, and since I'm late on my random fact of the day. Random Fact #4: Hercule's real name is Mark.

    Btw, you people need to make discussions less interesting, I'm trying to play Mass Effect 3!

    I have two questions.

    1) Why didn't Vegeta get a lot stronger after his revival? Isn't that a Saiyan trait?

    2) How come Evil Buu wasn't Kid Buu? They are both anti-Good Buu. Evil Buu eats Good Buu, he turns into Super Buu. Good Buu is removed from Super Buu, he turns into Kid Buu. What?

    Who's to say Vegeta didn't get a lot stronger? A lot stronger would still leave him far too weak to be of any relevance. As for Buu, my guess is that South Supreme Kai was throwing a wrench into things. My personal theory, is that he wasn't as kind hearted as Grand Supreme Kai, and so his power was split between Evil Buu and Good Buu. We'll likely never know for sure.
