@Profit_________@YuletideFrost He is though, Goku thought he had to fuse with Gohan just to defeat him, meanwhile when it came to Kid Buu he knew fusion wasn't needed.
@capsaveathought@EmperorBigD The Cell Saga isn't an exception. Goku passed Fat Buu to Goten and Trunks despite being able to beat him himself, and he rejected the safer Potara fusion against Kid Buu. He could've taken the easier path in both cases but chose not to, just like with Cell.
@capsaveathought@EmperorBigD During the Cell fight, Gohan even wonders how Goku got so strong when he spent most of his time focusing on Gohan's training
@capsaveathought@EmperorBigD You're arguing whether more training would've been enough. My point is that Goku wasn't trying to maximize his own power to begin with. He chose to invest in Gohan instead, which shows his focus wasn't on beating Cell himself.
@MonitorMJ@capsaveathought@EmperorBigD Im saying that Goku held back in his training to prioritize unlocking Gohans hidden power, not in his fight with Cell, During the Cell fight, even Gohan wondered how Goku got so strong when he'd spent most of his time training Gohan instead of himself
@capsaveathought@EmperorBigD My point is that if Goku was truly focused on defeating Cell himself he would've found a way. He stopped pushing his own training because he wanted Gohan to beat Cell. If his goal was simply to become stronger than Cell, he would've gone into the HTC with Vegeta instead of Gohan
@EmperorBigD Calling it fan fiction doesn't make much sense when most fans know DragonBall through the anime not the manga. It's like Marvel, ask most people how Iron Man died and they'll say he snapped his fingers to beat Thanos, even though that's not what happened in the comics. Anime wins
@capsaveathought@EmperorBigD Goku was holding back because he believed the next generation should take over. If he really went all out, he would've trained in the time chamber again, Instead he put his faith in Gohan. Choosing not to return after dying proves he wanted Earth to stop relying on him.
@dbs_10_10 Goku holds back constantly if he really felt like the Earth was in extreme danger he could've gotten strong enough and reached SSJ2 he said he wasn't strong enough to beat cell and left the fight to Gohan for the same reason he didn't kill Fat Buu he wanted the next gen to do it
@Freeza123456789 Vegeta has adapted and enjoys living on Earth, he literally talks about why Goku is better than him during the fight with Kid Buu, he's wearing skinny jeans in GT for goodness sake lol he's a protector now its not about Goku anymore.
@Datapleaz@BarstoolHubbs difference is massive, on sunday nights people are rested & after dinner people sit with their families and watch TV, on Monday nights they're tired from work and sleep earlier. u basically just said whats the difference between the superbowl being on a Sunday instead of a Monday
@CollegeFBonX USC destroyed rivalries with Cal, Stanford & ND all so they could be 4th place in the BIG10 a conferece they have nk business being in anyway
@FortyAcreVibes this is what USC did to Notre Dame, USC acted like they wanted to play ND in September when they had no real intentions of playing us, this is the same thing McGuire is doing, he knows Texas will decline, and he'll act like Texas was scared to play when thats not the case
