why couldnt they sense vegeta when he ascended? why can vegeta sense goku a little but but goku couldnt eense vegeta at all when vegeta was stronger?

It seems that Cooler has destroyed the entire planet off screen. Just kidding about that. However, Gohan made an inappropriate decision to immediately join the fighting. I thought it would have that result. I am reading this as chapter 109 is out.

Regarding Gohan and Dabura, the anime exaggerated that whole affair. In the manga, their fight was short and sort of skimmed over, though it's interesting to note that while Dabura was better, the fight wasn't as easy as he'd expected.

A simple way to make sense of this whole thing is to scale Goku's comparison between Dabura and Cell to Super Perfect Cell. Dabura was even stronger than SPC (but I don't think by too much), and it has to be noted that SS2 Cell Games Gohan was *far* more powerful than SPC.

In the father-son Kamehameha, it was all Gohan's power. Goku only provided the necessary morale support due to Gohan being depressed and pretty much suicidal after Goku's sacrifice. Gohan blamed himself for his overconfidence which resulted in Goku having to take over earlier (as Cell prepared to detonate himself).

According to Akira Toriyama himself, courage and willpower play a part in one's ki/power. So when Gohan turned depressed, he lost power, and even more so due to his injury/broken arm. But even so, all it took was Goku's guidance to have Gohan overpower Super Perfect Cell's Kamehameha in the end.

So with that in mind, it's clear that SS2 Gohan was leagues above SPC.

Buu Saga Gohan was very rusty at first, then he regained some of his Cell Games power while preparing for the tournament. But even so, he lacked a lot of his fighting skills and it could be argued that he couldn't properly tap into his crazy rage, which forms the basis for much of his power.

This is an old debate, but my view has always been that Gohan was Super Saiyan 2 vs Dabura, irrespective of the lack of lightning. It makes far more sense that way, especially if you take Goku's Dabura-Cell comment as using Super Perfect Cell.

People who argue that Gohan was SS1 against Dabura like to use Perfect Cell in the Dabura comparison, but why would Goku choose that version? It's not like Goku didn't sense SPC from the afterlife, so he's more likely to use the strongest version of Cell in his comparison. And as for the lack of sparks, we know that Akira can be inconsistent at times, or perhaps he omitted the sparks to show that Gohan wasn't at his best. But given that Dabura had to put in some work against Gohan, it makes no sense to have Gohan as an SS1 here.

You could argue that the Cell Games Gohan was an enraged/superior SS2 to the version that Gohan ended up using against Dabura. So perhaps the SS2 'multiplier' was lower here, as was Buu Saga Gohan's base power compared to his Cell Games self.

Here's how I see the scaling, if I had to use hypothetical numbers:

SS2 Cell Games Gohan: 10

Dabura: 7

SS2 Buu Saga Gohan: 6

Super Perfect Cell: 6

After watching buu bits I was reminded of our story. starting another reread!
excited to see where we are going with babidi!
please dont stop updating even if its only once every few years.

There is someone with the same username as yourself on spacebattles forums. If that isn't you, ignore the rest of this comment. If it is you, first of all, I would like to say that I liked your uruk hai quest. From what I gathered, you took a break, and then was banned before you could continue your story. I would like to make a suggestion (the idea isn't mine, I saw someone else do pretty much the same thing). You could update your sig with the information that you are continuing your quest, and a link to another forum (such as sufficient velocity), where you continue the quest. At the very least, you could post the Gondor omake there.

There is someone whose account has the same name as you. The rest of this post is meant for him, as I am hoping that you two are the same person.

I very much enjoyed your uruk-hai quest, and, from what I have gathered, you were banned from that forum before you were done resting, and ready to continue the quest. I have an idea as to how to continue the quest, based on how someone else did pretty much the same thing. You can edit your sig to contain a link to another forum, where you continue the quest, or at least post the Gondor interlude. If you do that, I would like to mention that there is a chance that Aragorn and most of the troops will die (as we know that he was hit with a grenade volley, but I don't know how many others got hit). There is a video (link below) talking about this. It starts on this subject 11 minutes 42 seconds in (but you might want to go too 11:09, since that talks about the scene in question, to give context), and finishes at the end of the video.

What do you think of Goku/Vegeta’s new power in DBM? Seems like they achieved what mystic gohan did through training instead of magic ritual.

How long could Broly stay in his legendary form? Indefinitely? Do you agree with DBM that his legendary transformation reduces his lifespan? That he would have a month at most before he expires?

What is the weakest a Ki attack can be? Like the least amount of power one can put in an energy attack? Would it be as strong as a firework? Grenade?

Sad to see the story having only had four additional chapters since I last looked at it years ago, I think before quarantine even. Also, the Discord server's invite that you listed on Disforge is apparently invalid.

After reading the other reviews, I hope that the story will be updated. It would be a serious shame to see it abandoned after so many years of effort have been put into it.

Yikes, is about my thoughts. Really not liking how "Do literally anything" this original villain seems so far, way too many fanfics fall at moments like these. Especially things like regeneration and other massively powerful magic seemingly not even requiring effort, never mind being costly. BoD still has a lot of praise, so I'm hoping this is just a bumpy introduction.

Wht does Buu’s absorption shrink people? How does the shrinking work? Does it involve space time manipulation or is it like antman shrinking the distance between atoms?

Do you plan on having a second interview with Gohan? If so, far away would you say it would be?

Is there a way to achieve intangibility using a Ki technique or would that require straight up magic?

The explanation of how superliminal flight is achieved is fantastic. It's made out to be a learned technique, something you need to figure out a way to surpass, instead of just being a question of power level dictating your mph. I like to think using that example that a natural passive ability of Divine Ki is the user being automatically unbound in physical space, allowing a Super Saiyan God to naturally achieve their power level's full speed with their only focus being on flying faster, without any effort needing to be split towards actually "unchaining" them from the limits on movement.
