And here we..... GO!1. When makes you decide what we are using here? Are you the OP? Nope. So yeah stop it. Also are you seriously trying to argue that Goku being able to distract Buu means anything at all?
2. Do you need me to post the page again showing Buff Buu? I never said Buff Buu fought or was shown at length but it was a form we clearly see in the manga. His power increasing in that form is akin to Ultra Super Saiyan Trunks. His power went thru the roof so of course they commented on it but he didn't mantain the form or the power. It's quite simple really
3. Yet had Buu's power been as high as it was in his "Buff" state the comment wouldn't have been made at all.
4. I never said Vegeta was right. Hell just a couple of chapters later he was proven dead wrong. That doesn't take away what I said tho. His power increased by a lot and Goku and Vegeta noticed. The same Goku and Vegeta that knew damn well that Super Buu was too powerful for them. So if a guy "far too stong" for them was growing even stronger why the hell would Vegeta think they could take him?
Size means nothing and Vegeta knows it. Unless you think he's forgotten the ass whipping puny Frieza layed on him or the fact that Gohan as a pint sized kid made him look like a noob when he assended to SSJ2 against Cell or when the tiny Cell Jrs rocked his socks off. Come on man. You make Vegeta sound like a true moron. He even states several times in the Buu Saga that he knows he's out of his league. So why the sudden boost of confidence? It's obviously due to Kid Buu no mantaining the power that they sensed previously.
5. Are you saying Goku was telling the unconcious people to hide let they could comply? And I like how you ignore the fact that they flew over to see the changes happening but still stayed far away enough not to be noticed. They didn't actually "reveal" themselves until their lives were in jeopardy
1. OP didn't specify, meaning we take the one that makes most sense in the context. Janemba is anime/movie only characters, meaning we should use the same thing to decipher his and Buu's power. If someone made a thread titled, "Vegeta vs. Cell", you wouldn't assume they were taking Saiyan saga Vegeta, unless they specified, would you?
2. Where was "Buff" Buu shown to be a form at all OUTSIDE the anime? Never. All of what you just said is assumption, and baseless at that. Again, show me ONE scan where they said Kid Buu was weaker than Buff Buu. You can't, because they didn't. And inference from Vegeta's cocky, arrogant, but still unsure statement, can be disproven by the fact that he and Goku were both incredibly nervous still even while Vegeta said that.
3. How do you know? Again, Vegeta's never been that good at reading ki's OR facing his own weakness to begin with. Remember how he commented how weak Cell looked in perfect form compared to his second form? That was right before he got curb-stomped like a child while Cell was just warming up. Not to mention that he even SAID that he thought he and Goku could take Kid Buu, but was, as you said, disproven mere pages later. If you acknowledge that his statement was false, then why are you using it in the first place? lol
4. As I just said, Vegeta was clearly nervous when saying that, and has been shown to make untrue statements while under pressure MANY times in the past. Are you forgetting that he said practically the same thing to Frieza?
What? None of that is true at all. In fact, the scan SPECIFICALLY shows Vegeta stating that the reason they could "take" Kid Buu, was because he was a "midget". He was clearly only countering Goku's statement of his power rising, by giving an observation of his small size. He's made the same mistake dozens of times before, it's pretty obvious that he was doing the same here. He wasn't able to come to terms with his inferiority until he watched Goku fight Kid Buu, and let go of his pride to admit Goku was better. Again, you're basing your entire argument off of a statement you JUST admitted was false. Not to mention the fact that you're reading "He's a midget! I think we can handle that!", as, "He's weaker than before! We can handle that!", when in fact it is clearly an observation of his stature, which should more accurately be read as, "He's smaller now! That should mean he's weaker now!".
5. Most likely. In fact, in the heat of the moment, Goku didn't even look or pay any mind to the unconscious people he and Vegeta were holding. He likely was yelling to them, and anyone that could have been around Buu at the time, since he didn't know, as he simply realized that they all grew back to normal size. It's very likely that he didn't even have time to notice that they were still unconscious until they actually started flying.
Also, Vegeta and Goku were flying in the clear, open sky, pretty close to Kid Buu. The fact that he didn't notice them was just to stress how little he cared about his surroundings. The phucker was born, yelled for a second, then shot a planet busting ki blast at the surface. He didn't notice Vegeta and Goku until they actually did something to him, which was deflect his blast. If that was Cell, he would have looked at them, and started fighting. You're forgetting that Kid Buu was the most unpredictable, and destructive villain in the series. He just didn't care.
