Because we were all focused how much of a loser Gohan was since he botched that fight.

Though, now that I think about it, Gohan was as successful in that battle as Goku was in his fight with Vegeta. I mean, Goku did a little better, but he still lost the one on one fight in the end, and ended up needing help, just like Gohan did.

Kinda funny when you think about it.

Well, not right away, but Vegeta did get a nice Zenkai from that beating.

But on the whole, your right.

Hilariously enough, Gohan beat Vegeta (by falling on him, admittedly), and Goku beat Buu (through a dumb gambit).

And it ended in a complete anticlimax.

If you're going to reference one of the most iconic scenes in the series, at least do it for a fight that's actually good. And is reminiscent of the Goku/Vegeta fight.

And I also have to agree with Saiga - Power Levels weren't as pointless as everyone says they were. It was actually useful in showing everyone's relative strengths. And most of the time, the character with the higher power level DID win. At least if it was the heroes.

But there was nothing wrong with that fight, Gohan just straight up lost to a opponent that was stronger than him.

Yes, I caught that recreation quite a few years ago, surprised people are just now noticing it.

Hell, Vegeta may actually have the ability to suppress his ki. He already knows of it and it's a completely separate ability from ki sensing.

No, he definitely did not at this stage. He makes it clear on Namek that suppressing his power is a trick he learned on Earth:

Chapter: 248 (DBZ 54), P14.2-5 Context: More of Kui mistakenly thinking Vegeta’s power has declined. Kui: “Looks like you’ve gotten worse. With that battle power, you have no chance of winning.” Vegeta: “Did you call us rivals? Kukkukkuku…Well then, I’ll show you something…An interesting thing that I learned from the locals when I went to Earth…[ ] How to control my battle power!”

He knew about it because he was monitoring the battle with Raditz on his scouter. Then he went straight to Earth, and was prepared to face people his scouter wouldn't be completely reliable against.

edit: Comparing Goku v Vegeta with Gohan v Boo - they're pretty much the same. Both lost against an opponent stronger than them, and couldn't win on their own. The difference here is that people arriving saved Goku, but might have screwed over Gohan - he'd just been healed by Dende, and Boo's fusion time was basically up. If Goku hadn't intervened and distracted Gohan he might not have been absorbed.

I just checked to see if the manga was on iBooks, and... it is. It is indeed.

I like how Raditz and Super Buu have the same English voice.

There's a lot of voice actor repetition.

Like Supreme Kai and Tao Pai Pai

Or like Vegeta, Ten, Yamcha, and probably half the minor characters

I still want Nappa and Radditz to get revived. I know it won't happen. Still want it.

Anyway, I half expect Broly and Cooler to be on Champa's team.

re:Mystic Gohan and Super Buu's fighting stances

I figured that Super Buu got that fighting stance from Trunks who learned it off Vegeta.

Also Super Buu gave a sick burn at the same time.

Gohan: It's time I show you why my little brother looks up to me.

Super Buu: He doesn't.

Champa would do some shit like revive Nappa and Raditz; they both have a reason to hate Goku & Vegeta and hey, we're already bringing back old villains, may as well continue the trend. Not that they'd be of any help of course but *shrug*

I would like to see Raditz, at least. I mean, he is Goku's freaking brother. Lot of potential with a rematch between him and Goku.
