Wow SSJ1 Gotenks > SSJ3 Goku?

I guess I'm one of those that don't know much about DBZ. I only enjoy watching the anime and TFS Abridged is hilarious.

But if I remember correctly, SSJ1 Gotenks struggled with Buu (forget which form), but SSJ3 Goku said he could have destroyed Buu when he was fresh and not holding back. Wouldn't that make Goku stronger than SSJ1 Gotenks?

SSJ1 Gotenks struggled with Super Buu. SSJ3 Goku stated that he could have beaten Fat and Kid Buu, but also stated that Super Buu was far stronger than himself(to the point where he didn't even want to try and fight Super Buu.)

IOW: Super Buu>>>>>SSJ3 Goku(full-power)>Kid Buu>Fat Buu.

Also, The New Series is gonna to re-tell the two movies which it sounds stupid and confusing.

Man if we seriously get a universe buster I'll laugh my ass off.

"It was recently reveled in this week’s issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump that the series will begin six months after Majin Buu’s defeat, placing it in November of Age 774 in the series’ established timeline. From there the series is now set to catch up to the events of Battle of Gods and Revival of “F”, with each being a “retelling” of their respective events, before going on to an all-new inter-universe storyline."

I'd imagine that Toriyama will use said 'retellings' as a means to emphasize a few key concepts of the films--namely, the multiverse. It may also depict a few portions of the battle(s) reimagined. This certainly isn't a bad thing, imo.

But it might be bad for it's Continuity since it would be a big retcon and fans can be confused by this.

But least they going to a multiverse arc soon.

Galan007 |Quantum Observer|

Retelling the happenings of the films doesn't mean anything is going to be retconned.

So

Spoiler:
Beerus just destroyed half a planet with a tap of his finger.

NemeBro Senior Member

Link?

Actually found it myself.

Spoiler:
It wasn't a physical strike, you see the purple ki spread and the sound effects are similar to many energy attacks throughout the series.
Oh well, almost got me excited.

ares834 Senior Member

It's a ki amped strike. Just like most of their physical attacks.

Galan007 |Quantum Observer|

It's odd because in the 'official' manga adaption, Beerus destroyed the entire planet(not just half of it) with a ki blast(not a ki-amped strike, or w/e):

Where Super! is concerned, I'm assuming the show's canonicity supersedes the manga's..? So the show's rendition of said events is what we're going with here, right..?

Not really seeing how that's impressive considering what DBZ already has but whatever.

Well both are telling Toriyama's writing without Toriyama doing the art(sadly). I chalk it up to stylistic differences for now until we get a big difference, like Vegeta blowing up planets passively in DBZ.

The Manga was supposed to come after the show. But for some reason it came first before the show.

Galan007 |Quantum Observer|

For those interested in the feat: here are screen-caps from the show...

Beerus taps his finger on the table:

That was an energy attack, not an amped strike. Beerus simply used a finger-tap as a means to discharge said energy.

AuraAngel Hegemon

It is an interesting showing though. Being able to release that much ki with a tap would still feel like planet busting strength, even if it technically isn't.

Beerus is a cool character.
