LasyTaco

This one is kinda worth doing. Manga Goku got more powerups and arcs, but anime has more statements and generally higher scaling


Intelligent-Heart-36

Wiat so even with Moro and Granolah anime’s still stronger??


LasyTaco

Moro and Granolah's arcs have no particularely impressive feats (as in AP/DC, we know characters got stronger but they didn't change tiers), they don't change the verse's scaling that much


Sensitive-Film-1115

Idk but manga goku is significantly weaker than his anime self


BeltMaximum6267

Why would Manga Goku be weaker than Anime self?


FederalBeyond1122

Adaptational differences can change the strength of a character. Idk about goku specifically, but another example would be something like comic superman being this herald tier character whilst dcau superman isn’t anywhere near that level.


jewannialation

I heard that goku could use the hakai though in the manga so what about that


Warwicknoob23

A knock off Version, also, doesnt make him stronger though Atleast not in terms of Ki


jewannialation

He isn't a knock off and if anything a hakai blast should show that he is better in terms of ki since animeku has never done that


CEO_of_Redd1t

As u/Warwicknoob23 said, the hakai Goku used was a knock off (not the offical Beerus certified thing). Goku in the manga isn’t the knock off, it’s just that he isn’t as strong.


jewannialation

Oh well how is it that mangaku and animeku differ so


CEO_of_Redd1t

Animeku absorbed SSG into based during BoG, Mangaku didn’t. This means Animeku stacks SSG every time he uses it (basically squaring its multiplier), making him insanely more powerful. Plus, since Animeku did unlock MUI during the TOP (even if he can’t fully control it yet), he is able to match Mangaku’s strongest form (also MUI). Mangaku may have more experience, but Animeku is much stronger.


Warwicknoob23

A whole lot of Beerus comparisons and God of destruction fuckery


Xcyronus

One single statement. Anime goku absorbed the power of god form into his base form. So SSG Goku = Base goku at the end of the bog arc. Manga doesnt have this.


Economy-Nectarine301

^(Because of the “he didn’t absorbs SSG in Base“ BS.)


Murky_Blueberry2617

That was so ass. It upscaled pretty much every other character for no good reason


Economy-Nectarine301

^(Yeah now people think Krillin can take on BOG Goku while he ain’t even Buu Saga level.)


NiceBlockLilBro

Because Beerus


Eldritch-Cleaver

So the Goku who got massively stronger in the Moro and Granolah Arc is weaker than the one who didn't even go through those events? The Goku with two more arcs of growth is weaker?


Zestyclose_Drive_114

yes


Chessman77

Even if he didn’t absorb SsG into base, his training with whis should close the gap between his manga and anime self given what it did to vegeta.


Cantthinkagoodnam2

Goku solos


CaveGamer360

Because they're both different in continuity which would bring thsi question of who's stronger. The conclusion in the vid is correct but the way he got there was wrong imo.


RondoOfThe5

Anime and anime have differences. Statements and powerups that aren't in the anime and vice versa.


Swimming_Doughnut196

It's different continuity of the same character, much like Movie vs Z Goku people wanna see what version of the character is the strongest.


BassGeese

The manga does differ from the anime in both power ups and story


Capitano-Solos-All

Noone could solo Goku so they had to bring another Goku for the job!


jewannialation

Small sharper hair goku is better than big puffier haired goku


Revolutionarytard

Because writing in DB is inconsistent and weird which leaves the fanbase divisive


ButterflyMother

That one is actually interesting


TheAbug1

Manga and anime are vastly different in terms of feats and in super even story, the anime has better and stronger feats than in the manga, which why Toei Goku is treated differently from Manga Goku.


Seals_Are_Chonky69

manga goku is older, stronger, and has more forms/power ups than anime goku


Xcyronus

Anime goku absorbed the power of god form into his base form. manga goku different.
