Quite. The Sorting Algorithm of Evil is not always accurate or in effect, especially in regards to individual members of a villainous team, and thus should not be considered ironclad.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fat Buu was stronger than Gohan. Not in the Buu Saga, obviously, but Buu is actually interested in fighting, all forms of Buu are. I could see him staying in shape and even raising his power level since he did say he liked fighting Goku while Gohan would, at best, maintain his Kaioshhin power up?

Hmm, you suppose whatever it was Elder Kai could have used his power up on that caused Beerus to have him sealed in a sword could come up?

I don't think Kid Buu is interested in fighting. He got it from the South Kaioshin.

He's good at it, but I think he prefers to just destroy stuff.

He's talking about Mr. Buu who, in my opinion, couldn't catch up to Gohan in the time provided as the distance between them is far too great.

Was just clarifying since he said "all forms of Buu".

It took "Ultra Buu" to beat Gohan; no way Fat Buu is in the same league.

By 'Ultra Buu' you mean Buutenks? Just because I've heard that term thrown around for Buff Buu.

Ultra Buu is what I've heard people call Buu after he's absorbed people, yeah.

Idle thought: Do the scouters take weapons into account when reading Battle Power?

We all know that Farmer With Shotgun has a battle power of 5, but is 5 the Farmer's battle power, or is it also reading the shotgun?

[up] Seeing as attacks can apparently be stronger than the person wielding them I don't see why not.

I suppose "Battle Power" could mean "Threat Level" so that would make sense.

I wouldn't think so, considering the Scouter wouldn't know what the shotgun was or how powerful it was. In regards to Buu forms; I just say Buu(last half of main absorbee's name) so: Buutenks, Buuccolo, and Buuhan.

Reading the shotgun would be stupid. The shotgun has no ki, why would it have a battle power?

Because it is an extension of Farmer with Shotgun's body.

That is why he is "Farmer with Shotgun" and not just "Farmer, who happens to have a Shotgun".

-sigh- the only reason he's called Farmer With Shotgun is because that's what he's called in the credits and the fanbase found it inexplicably hilarious. Raditz just says that the farmer's PL is 5, he doesn't even mention to shotgun.

Actually, it likely is taking the shotgun into account because, to the Japanese (if memory serves), all weapons, even guns, are just an extension of the self. The weapon has no more power than the person wielding it does. Trunks' sword cannot cut anything he doesn't already have the power to destroy. By that logic, Farmer with Shotgun's power level would likely drop if he were to get rid of the shotgun.

Trunks doesn't get stronger by holding a sword, much the opposite, Trunks' sword gets stronger when he's holding it because he enhancing it with his Ki.

Yes, yes, I know. I meant to say the opposite but I had a brain fart moment. I was just about to correct it.

So Farmer with Shotgun's power level would be 5 with or without the shotgun.

Your wrods are hrtyng my thinking thingy.

The Shotgun was never taken into account. The Shotgun has no powerlevel, it cannot be possibly taken into account, because the powerlevel reader in the scouter reads ki, and the shotgun, as an inanimate object, has no ki.

Raditz's scouter determined that Goku and Piccolo got stronger after undressing, so it clearly isn't reading Ki. Maybe the shotgun was heavy enough to lower battle power.

That said, if the shotgun is an extension of the self, that paints Bulma shooting Goku on a whole new light.
