Default Question About Vegetto

How much was Vegetto holding back during his battle with Majin Boo? (i.e. half of his full power, etc.)

Also, in your opinion is a 100x near-death increase ridiculous?

Default Re: Question About Vegetto

Vegitto was most probably using a bit more than half his energy..i'd say 60% of his full power...he did power up to super saiyan so the amount of power used will be more than half his strength.

a 100 x power up....i dont think a person/saiyan can increase his power so much....

Default Re: Question About Vegetto

Vegetto fought both on a psychological and physical level, but he was so strong that he managed to completely overwhelm Boo (in his Super State of sorts, Gohan prime) with some mortifyingly simple footwork, while intentionally drawing out the fight. Considering he could at least go SSj2 (that much he restrained himself from, though said form doesn't exactly restrain itself as it's more of a breakdown of what a SSj can do), and that his aura was calm throughout the whole fight, what he displayed was only a fraction of the depth of his rather prodigious, sheer power.

Hence the large reading's of his conglomeration of power - I personally am of the belief that it was a largely held back thrashing on his behalf, so I'd have to say that to say he was using around 5%-10% isn't stretching it.

Yeah I'd say 5% - 10%. Don't forget he wasn't even trying in his base form. He could be hit, but he wasn't trying there either.

Default Re: Question About Vegetto

5-10% you really think so? Well, I don't think it was that much. Since Vegeto went SSJ right away, we can assume his base form wasn't enough to completely dominate Buu, if I go by your logic, base Vegeto would be stronger than Buu, but not enough to humiliate him. So, if we apply the 5x SSJ multiplier it would give this:

Buu: 1,000
Vegeto: 1,200
SSJ Vegeto: 6,000
SSJ Vegeto holding back: 600??

The only way for him to win would be that his SSJ multiplier is much higher, maybe we should let it at 50x:

Buu:1000
Vegeto:1200
SSJ Vegeto: 60,000
SSJ Vegeto holding back: 6,000

That makes more sens but, could you explain why you think he was holding back that much?

Good point. I forgot that

Keep in mind Vegetto's goal here. He wanted Buu to absorb him after all, so dominating Buu wouldn't have helped. Vegetto just got to play around a bit :D

Default Re: Question About Vegetto

Vegetto in my opinion was probably using 20% of his power.....at the most:

He was only SSj when completely dominating Buu, and he most likely had the ability to SSj3 since Goku was able to.

And his base form was not filler; however, the fight in his base form was.

A zenkai of 100 fold is hard to imagine, but it also depends on the Saiyan's original strength, and how badly he (now let's not be exclusive: or she) is beaten. But of course Dragon Ball is inconsistent, Goku gets rediculous zenkais during the Saiyan and Freeza arcs; while Vegeta's zenkais, though notable, are on a much smaller scale.

Default Re: Question About Vegetto

I'm not debating wheter he could ascend to ssj3 (he obviously could, since Goku was able to.)

The reason why I'm asking about Vegetto is that I made a story where a character (previously about as powerful as ssj2 Goku) recieved a near-death increase, putting him on par with a full-power ssj Vegetto.

Default Re: Question About Vegetto

I figure he was using his maximum power level as a Super Saiyan. This is nowhere near what he can really do, since he can go Super Saiyan 2 at the very least, but it's a whole lot simpler than dealing with fractions of a form's power.

I think he was at least using 30-50%...

For all we know he could've transformed straight to SSJ2, he never exactly said he was a SSJ1, he just called himself "Super Vegetto". The electricity in his aura is also something to argue about.

Default Re: Question About Vegetto

The lightning engulfed aura was encircling Vegetto in but one panel, during the initial transformation. Throughout the rest of the chapters, from the very next panel where he sends Boo's ki ball hurdling back towards him to his absorption by Boo, he demonstrates only a normal, fire-like, SSj aura. Thus, a SSj was what Vegetto transformed into and remained in throughout the fight.

We know for a fact through idea sketches that Toriyama-sensei drew of Bejitto in both his Ssj and his Ssj2 forms that Bejitto was only in his Ssj form when he fought against Shin Buu. The reason why there is an electrical discharge in his aura when he is first shown transforming from his base to his Ssj form is at present unknown.

I keep hearing about these original sketches of Vegetto, but I can't find them anywhere. Can someone give me a link or something?
EDIT: Never mind, I made another thread requesting it.

There was probably electricity in the aura just for the sake of looking flashy. It's sort of like trying to explain why Nappa had sparks around him when he powered-up.
