I hate this "logic" that people try to use in versus discussions.
Remember, kids, the way around the lame "I can't prove a negative" argument is simply this: rephrase your question that requires they prove a positive statement abouth their position.
NemeBro's argument is this: prove that Goku, if after powering up enough, would be able to destroy Kid Buu with a single blast.
The response is this: Goku said he could power up enough to do so, so he can.
NemeBro's response: Prove it.
The response to that: You prove he can't.
Nemebro's response: I can't prove a negative. You prove your positive statement.
That's easy to reword that still forces NemeBro to have to prove his counter-position.
Prove that Kid Buu can tank a blast from an afterlife Goku (a Goku that is in SSJ3, firing an attack after having gathered all of his energy).
Remember, kids, this is how you counter the logic word games people like to hide behind.
The counter to that is: but I'm not stating Buu could tank it.
The response to that is: but I'm following on panel evidence. Contradict that with other on panel evidence or concede the point.
The only on panel evidence we have is that it WOULD work. Goku knew all about Buu's putty body. He observed the fighting with Buu through the crystal ball. They knew that they had to create a blast powerful enough to destroy Buu down to the microscopic level...not just just tiny tiny bits. Goku, after decades of fighting and his intimate knowledge of Buu, knew how much of a powerful blast would be required to accomplish this task. He did not know that his mortal body would have less ability to gather energy..to the point of exhausting his SSJ3 form and all of his energy: it is a state, while in a mortal body, that is energy negative even when resting or trying to gather energy. This is not the case for an afterlife body.
The baseless and unsupportable claim: Goku could not have destroyed Kid Buu if he was in his afterlife SSJ3 form.
The supported claim: Goku could have destroyed Kid Buu in his afterlife SSJ3 form.
Any contradictions to the latter is unsupported. Any contradictions to the former are supported. Invoking the former as a counter to the latter is not appropriate because of the experience Goku brings to the table. This is not a case of "well, Goku is a fallible character and is not omniscient". This is a case of "well, NemeBro is a fallible human and not omniscient". Unless a contradiction exists, the expert characters' on panel statements in ability (when clearly not being used as a scare tactic) is to be taken as fact. Only if there is a contradiction of said ability, do we take the position counter to it.
For example:
1. For the on panel expert statement that would be correct: Goku thought he could destroy Kid Buu's form IF he was in his afterlife SSJ3 form, after having powered up enough.
2. For an in movie expert statement that would be considered incorrect: Master Roshi said ChiChi was stronger than a super saiyan. Obviously, that was a joke and an exaggeration in terms of fighting power (she is stronger than Goku in the fact that she can tell him what to do and he sometimes listens/obeys).

5. You can't actually prove the Galick Gun is a bona fide planet buster, unless you count the noncanon attack on Arlia. In canon, the strongest character to ever destroy a planet was Freeza in his first form.
Funny that you would claim the non-canon nature of planet busting feats FOR Broly, but you'd ignore the canon planet busting feats for characters AGAINST Broly.
Fact: Roshi, at a power level less than 200, destroyed the moon. Fact, a Piccolo with a power level less than 3000 destroyed the moon with ease.
Fact: Planet busting abilities existed long before Broly came along.
Fact: Goku had a powerlevel of 150,000,000 in his initial SSJ form.
That means that at a bare minimum, Goku in his initial SSJ form, can destroy something with a radius of 1,874,460,432 km. That's assuming, of course, the entire solar system was as massive and dense as the moon. We know that something of that size would easily collapse in on itself into a black hole. But just pretend that it wouldn't for the sake of argument.
So why would you use Frieza as the comparison for "strongest able to destroy a planet" when you should be using "weakest" to be able to destroy something of planet proportions? The moon is not much smaller than Mercury. The moon is bigger than Pluto and Pluto was considered a planet for decades. The moon is the size of a small planet, easily.

A half-dead Saiyan, powered by a few half-dead warriors who he just effortlessly pwned, logically should be able to one shot him, when he just gets stronger?Hahaha no.
Consider this: Raditz easily took on and defeated Goku and Piccolo and he was about 3 times as strong as either of them but not twice as strong as both put together.
Note that Broli never takes them all on at once.
With their powers combined, they become captain planet. Wait, I mean super Goku. At that time, Goku was probably the strongest of the bunch. So they were all depleted warriors. Yet, their depleted strength, combined, was still strong enough to punch the gut chunks out of Broly to death (only PIS revived Broly…no idiot could survive their guts getting punched to chunks). Based on that, we can easily tell that any form of SSJ beyond FPSSJ would blow away LSSJ Broly in terms of power, speed, and strength. It wasn’t even “healthy” energy passed from the fighters to Goku...they were all weakened. So it looks like Broly was about 2 Goku’s in one…maybe less. But he was far enough above the rest of the warriors to make them look like nothing…just as Radditz did to Piccolo and Goku combined.
