There was that rubbish about half-breeds being super powerful (Nappa alluded to it when he and Vegeta first left for Earth). I don't mind Gohan as much, especially since he was fighting with grown men from when he was a kid.Incognito wrote:I understand why Gohan was so strong. Proper training since he was 4 years old, battle tested going up against opponents who outclassed him, but Goten and Trunks fusion reaching SSJ3 was BS. Same thing with the Mystic power up that let Gohan catch up without training. I would have liked to see Future Trunks reach SSJ3 before Gotenks, he was battle tested and desperate.
I think you're right about that. Vegeta has unfinished business with Bills because of whatever happened between Bills and his dad.
Goten/Trunks were gifted power though, and they were super strong from the getgo (SSJ Gotenks was felt from Kaioshin's planet, and Goku wasn't until he turned SSJ3, so by the guidebooks he's at least 8x as powerful, since SSJ3=4xSSJ2=8xSSJ...Super Buu and Mystic Gohan were about the same strength as SSJ3 Gotenks, though they didn't have the time limit). The Mystic thing is lame, but at least they said he was brought "beyond his limits".
Goku was gifted God Power in BOG, which Vegeta presumably will be as well in the sequel. Not a fan of gifted power ups, but it is necessary:
1) Goku fights in his base state at the end of the manga against Uub (Kid Buu's reincarnation, and when he gets angry is as powerful). Since SSJ = 50x boost, and SSJ3 = 8x SSJ, that means that Goku needs to get to 400x his level from the Buu Saga. The God power up makes sense.
2) Not sure if you're familiar with (the now-defunct) Dragon Ball Online, but evidently Toriyama wrote the backstory, and evidently Goku and Vegeta head into space to settle the score, and end up offing each other in a supernova type explosion. So Vegeta needs to catch up to Goku somehow.
I do like Future Trunks, but they've kinda limited themselves since he killed off Cell (and Buu will never be revived, since there aren't powerful enough people on Earth in his timeline). There is a PSP game (Shin Budokai: Another Road) that explores that potential storyline (namely, Buu in Trunks's timeline) though.
