Breh I cant go back and forth with you about a 15yr old conversation thats been solved for just as long. We arent talking about the fanbase wanting Goku back, we are speaking on power levels. Of course in theory, Goku could continue to get stronger since Gohan had his potential maximized already but we arent speaking theoretically, we are speaking in real time and Goku was not more powerful than Gohan as SSJ3. Toriyama never said Goku was stronger than Gohan he DID say however that he brought Goku back because of the fanbase. Bringing Goku back was NOT synonymous with Goku being made the strongest by the end of the series. The hero yes, the most powerful, no. Popularity means little other than incentive. You can present no feat or logic other than popularity to prove Goku was stronger than Gohan. Never stated, never implied. You realize Kid Buu was the weakest Buu correct? Kid Buu was working Goku about as definitively as Super Buu w/SSJ3 Gotenks was working Gohan. Now we know that Goku couldn't sustain ssj3 against Kid Buu but he did state that if he could reach full power, he thought he could beat him. This is Kid buu breh, the weakest of them all other than Mr. Buu (Good Buu). Fat Buu lost tons of power when Evil Buu split from him...and this is the same Buu that was tanking Kid Buu attacks in the final fight for a short time. Weaker than Kid, but not by a huge amount. Not to mention that Super Buu having the memories of Fat Buu, recalled how strong ssj3 Goku was and still made it a point to tell Gohan that HE was the fighter he had been waiting on every since he felt Gohan's ki midway through his training, not Goku. If Goku was stronger, Buu wouldve been waiting on him. If Goku was stronger, he wouldve gave Kid Buu that work. If Goku was stronger, he couldve finished or atleast damaged Fat Buu more than he had. The case has been made already years ago that ssj3 Gotenks is stronger than Goku, let alone Gohan who ssj3 Gotenks is aware is more powerful than himself. You're right, Chou Gohan can't get any stronger while Goku can continue to, but Goku would HAVE to continue getting stronger in order to be stronger than Gohan. That COULD happen, but it DIDNT happen before the series ended and thats the main point.
