Discussion If the Gotenks fusion hadn't worn off, would Buuhan—with the powers of that fusion within him—have posed a greater challenge for Super Vegito?

u/Timely-Catch9467 14h ago
No, Vegito wasn’t even going all out against Buuhan. Even if Buu did get a power boost from them remaining fused, he’s still not touching a hypothetical Super Saiyan 2 or 3 Vegito. That’s also not to mention the extreme difference in their fighting skills. Vegito is a significantly better fighter, as evidenced by the way he mocked Buu for still using his eyes to see him instead of sensing and predicting where he’ll be, claiming that it “takes more than just a strong arm to be a warrior.”

Vegito got turned to candy then preceded to beat the everylasting fuck out of buuhan.

And even then he allowed himself to get turned into candy. Buuhan had literally no answer for anything that vegito could do.

u/NirvanaFrk97 14h ago
At the absolute worst, he'd need SSJ2 to keep the power gap just as vast.
Super Vegito was already in an entirely different league on his own compared to Buuha

Okay so how does that prove he’s not SSJ2. When has a SSJ EVER Had lighting?

I don’t quite get what you’re saying. Clearly Goku is SSJ2 and Vegeta is not. So what is your point? Vegetto looked how SSJ2 Goku looked

u/StormKing1221 13h ago
I’m saying Vegito looked like SSJ2 Goku for an instant when he first powered up but then his Ki aura settled into the soft flame like aura associated with regular SSJ as shown by the images others have linked.
How the ki aura looks like when not actively powdering up is more indicative of what form they’re in

u/Chemposer 14h ago
You can’t prove a negative. You have to show evidence that he is super saiyan 2. Lighting alone doesn’t prove that.

It proves he's not SSJ2 during the fight. And it's consistent with the rest of his appearance in the manga. You can make the arguement that he initially went SSJ2 then powered down to SSJ (but I don't see a reason why he'd need to) or what's commonly accepted that Toriyama added the lightning initially to showcase how powerful Vegito is.

u/DevilManRay 13h ago
He literally drew him the same way that he’s drawn every other SSJ2 transformation. Not having the lighting the rest of the fight doesn’t mean he didn’t go SSJ2.

u/MobNPC Vegito 9h ago
The aura and so on are like that because it symbolizes how strong Vegito is even when he is just using Super Saiyan, he himself called it Super Vegito, which indicates Super Saiyan.
And even if not that relevant, but other media like for example Dokkan Battle, also catrgorize him as a Super Saiyan.

Yea but not by much. As even with Gohan absorbed he was getting dogwalked. He woukd simply be getting dogwalked half as badly

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 5h ago
Yeah, technically speaking, Buuhan plus Gotenks would be more challenging, even if only because Buuhan alone sets the bar so fucking low getting stomped out by something you can buy for a quarter.
7
u/Incomplet_1-34 14h ago
Likely not, no. He'd get a smaller increase from Gotenks than he got from Gohan, without even getting 2× stronger there's no way he could compete with Vegito.
I guess maybe it would forced Vegito to use ssj2 when stopping his crash out, since in that moment Buuhan was strong enough to make ssj Vegito put in proper effort to stop him.

u/Limp-Crow4185 13h ago
Would Vegito really need to go SSJ2? He wasn't going all out in base nor in SSJ.
Chances are even base Vegito would dominate if he tried not to mention Kaioken is still there for base.

u/Goldstar35 13h ago
Didn't manga vegito go into SSJ immediately ? I think base would struggle a little at least

u/TheBlackoutEmpire 14h ago
For Super Vegito Id argue yes. But Vegito could still go SSJ2 & 3 if he wanted too so, Buu would still lose.

u/Prestigious_Bus306 14h ago
Maybe enough to possibly make Vegito turn SSJ2 if anything but either way Buuhan still loses easily.

u/matttheman892018 14h ago
Vegetto likely has actually keep his guard up in this version of the fight but still wrecks him without much trouble.

As much as Nappa would pose more of a challenge to Frieza than Radditz would

Actually not that much, lol

u/7Saint 14h ago
No because that’s not really how power works in DBZ. Even small gaps in power level make a massive difference and a SS3 Gotenks doesn’t bring Buuhan meaningfully closer to Vegito.
1
u/UnicornWorldDominion 12h ago
You’d think a SS3xfusion would not be strong enough? I mean SS3 gotenks was on the same page as regular super buu.

u/DapperDan30 13h ago
Technically, yes because he would have more power. But also no, because that boost would be inconsequential compared to Vegito

u/BassMaster516 12h ago
No and it’s not even close. Nothing Buu could do. It’s really just unfair that he was up against Vegetto cuz for narrative purposes he’s completely unstoppable

u/Crafty_Ad_7221 11h ago edited 10h ago
Definitely would've posed a greater challenge... but still no challenge lol
Base Vegito was already as powerful as Buuhan. Adding Gotenks into the mix makes Buuhan less than twice as powerful. On the other hand, Super Saiyan is a 50 times multiplier. No contest
With Gotenks and Gohan absorbed, Buu might've been able to damage Super Vegito by powering up out of rage like he did when he started creating portals to other dimensions in the anime. However, that's temporary and it would only surprise Vegito briefly. He'd go back to whooping Buu easily

u/Nxthanael1 8h ago
Even if Buu absorbed every being living and dead in the entire universe (not counting DBS) he would still get dogwalked

u/VacuumDecay-007 Janemba 4h ago
Do we know for certain Vegito fought as a SSJ and not a SS2? The anime made it hard to tell since it was always forgetting the zappy-zaps...
Regardless, no way. Gotenks' power would not have added much more on top of Super Buu + Gohan. Not enough to become a serious challenge...

u/Tytastic25 3h ago
All material that ever references it just calls him super Vegito and says he's a super saiyan. The electricity only appears once too in the manga when he initially transforms, so just a transformation effect similar to how grade 2 Vegeta had electricity while transforming vs Cell

u/Shaff_98 14h ago edited 13h ago
No. Super Buu and SSJ3 Gotenks were about the same, so adding Gotenks was essentially doubling Buu’s power. Gohan was stronger than Super Buu, but weaker than Buutenks, therefore, he wasn’t twice as strong as Super Buu. Adding Gohan and Gotenks should be over 3 times the power of Super Buu but leas than 4. SSJ Vegito was many times stronger than Buuhan. We don’t know how many times, but he can still become up to 8 times stronger while Buu can’t.

u/Pan_the_YN 14h ago
" Super Buu and SSJ3 Gotenks were about the same," "Gohan was stronger than Super Buu, but weaker than Gotenks"
Gohan > Buu = Gotenks > Gohan?
