Originally posted by SSJGGogetaUm, duh? That's exactly WHY they are around the same level. IF there was a difference between them, it wasn't by any substantial amount or else Piccolo, or Goku, or the Kaioshin would have informed us of such. 👆
1. What? Piccolo stated in no way, shape, or form, that Gotenks and Buu were "equal". He said that Buu hated to think that someone WAS his equal, not that they were equal. The statement implies nothing more than what it implies, which is that Super Buu was weakened mentally, by the fact that Gotenks was AT LEAST his equal.
Originally posted by SSJGGogetaYou're contradicting yourself here. Gotenks didn't want to kill Super Buu, but wanted to kill him? Interesting. Anyway, Gotenks couldn't even kill Buu when he Kamikaze Ghosted him into hundreds of pieces, and vaporized said remains inside the RoSaT... There's no way trying to vaporize him again would have worked.
2. Yes, Super Buu wasn't explicitly trying to kill Gotenks. BUT GOTENKS WASN'T TRYING TO KILL HIM EITHER, WHICH WAS EXPLICITLY STATED.3. Also, good job at again avoiding the fact that Gotenks EXPLICITLY STATED that he could kill Super Buu, and Super Buu was terrified. The only reason he didn't was because he unfused at the last second.
Don't let Gotenks' arrogance and empty boasts give you a false sense of security... He wrongly assumed that he could defeat/kill Buu in every single level, lol. 😉
Originally posted by SSJGGogetaYou're backpedaling. At first you said they were "on par" with one another. Now you're saying they were "close to" the same level. Pick a stance and stick with it. Stop moving the goalpost, lol.
4. Um, that fight was pretty damn self-explanatory. Yes, Buutenks was OBVIOUSLY stronger than Gohan, but Gohan was still CLOSE to his strength. Enough to be able to break out of THREE of his galactic doughnuts, and dodge basically EVERY one of his ki blasts, except for the one Buutenks deflected back at him. He was mostly just buying time, but he managed to last over 20 minutes against Buutenks, which means he was pretty damn solid in his ability to fight him.
Anyway, Gohan WASN'T "close to" Buu's level at all. Again: it was an absolutely one-sided shit-stomp in Buutenks' favor(see the scans I posted earlier.) 🙂
Originally posted by SSJGGogetaYeah, except that wasn't stated in the canon text:
5. And also, you're forgetting that major statement here that proves this, Goku said that Buutenks had lost "a third of his power!", when he reverted to Buucolo.
Your main problem in these threads is that you have no grasp on what is actually canon, and are too quick to spew inaccurate 'facts' from the anime and/or non-canon scanlations.
Originally posted by SSJGGogetaThere are NO "author-approved, Daizenshuu power levels" after the Freeza saga, btw. 🙂
Also, good job at avoiding the cannon, author-approved, Daizenshuu power levels. Makes ya' look REALLY smart. 👆
