I don't understand how some people would think Saitama, a man with no formal martial arts training, would beat a guy who dedicated his entire life to it through skill alone
He was probably making these videos while he was on hiatus and is releasing them now. If i had to guess, he's probably making more while pumping out videos he's already made.
People forget that classic Dragon Ball was a heavily inspired by real martial arts series, and it shows in how detailed martial art sequences are presented in the series.
@@romesrepublic Dragon ball and dragon ball Z shows the use of grappling many times. Often Goku or someone else gets put in a chokehold, (the famous Goku bites Frieza's tail scene) though you pretty much never see it in the Tenkaichi Budokai probably because it's a tournament, with rules. You are correct, in that grappling is very effective against human opponents, but in Dragon Ball as a whole many of Goku's foes don't need to breathe, and their physiology/circulatory systems might even be in their skeleton so choking them wouldn't really do much. Like do Frieza or Cell have a blood supply that could be cut off by strangling the neck? Neither of them appear to need to BREATHE, so maybe their biology isn't something that a chokehold would work on. And it certainly wouldn't work on the Androids/Cyborgs/Majiin Buu. Batman fucks people up like a Batman does. Goku fucks people up like an alien does.
@Tyler Thompson Aliens in the DBZ universe are a whole nother thing entirely. Frieza, Buu, and a lot of the others can survive in space, with half of their bodies missing. But if you made Goku a human, even with all of his training, skills, and experience, Batman would still destroy him with relative ease. Batman is bigger, stronger, longer reach, and has a more complete knowledge of martial arts than any of the Z fighters. You need powers to beat Batman, plain and simple. Even then, there's no guarantee you'll win unless you catch him completely off guard.
One of my favorite things about the super manga is that it explains ultra instinct MUCH better than the anime by having roshi ask goku "when did martial arts become about who has the higher power level?" And then having him remember all the lessons his previous masters were teaching him which almost all centered around conservation of energy when moving and dodging, honing his martial arts technique rather than his physical power.
Thank you. I always liked they way Master Roshi gave Goku some advice to achieve Ultra Instinct. Now you may not like that Master Roshi Psuedo version of "Ultra Instinct" but master Roshi has done drunken boxing before.
@@warangelcpgamebreak no tbh i think the martial arts master whos like 100+ years old nowing how to do a pseudo ultra instinct makes perfect sense and reinforces the idea that ultra instinct is more of a technique than a form which the manga expands upon in the gas/granola arc.
The series gave a great example of that when Goku fought Freiza when he brought Freiza back from his hell. Freiza supposedly trained for the first time in his life, gained a new form and got ridiculously powerful. Freiza lost all his steam and lost the fight because he trained up to that form but didn’t train using that form.
...straight up, I actually did learn a little bit about Goku and did gain a little respect for his hands, so well done. I would love to see someone animate Adam West's Batman beating Goku though, it'd be hilarious nonsense.
@@Kerwell I'd be ok with it if they didn't regress the character in Super in order to do it. Having him not know what meditation is, and having the empty mind which is taught by pretty much all basic eastern martial arts. I can't stand it.
@@JKurayami The mediation part is a stretch, I agree. They really wrote Goku to not know the roots of martial arts, lol. However, true mental emptiness in actuality is incredibly hard to achieve. It's easy to simulate some degree of it, but to completely leave out every single thought besides you, your opponent, and the battle you're in together is probably not even humanly possible (to the credit of Super).
Goku is VERY adaptable that’s one if his greatest feats in a real world. So anyone who fights him would have to constantly change up very quick constantly.
Batman has more intuition and has the same, if not more intution than Goku. This also has me beliveing that Batman would be the only human with Ultra Instinc if he was in dragonball. Hardwork in Dragonball takes you far
Which Batman is very capable off since he knows 50+ fighting styles plus variations of his own and is capable of adapting really damn well himself (to the point of defeating opponents such as Deathstroke,Lady Shiva and Cassandra Cain who can literally read,copy and predict movements)
I despise how much goku is underestimated when it comes to his martial arts skill. People just think he's a golden monkey shooty blue beam man. He's a martial arts master who has learned from countless masters. He'd also arguably still have the ability of reacting with his body and not his mind, so a ultra instinct sign is theoretically still fundamentally possible even if we grant no powers. Reacting with his body and not his mind has nothing to do with powers, so he'd arguably still have godly reaction.
all goku has to do is utilize his instincts and he has UI in base. We've seen that in the manga he doesn't have to transform to use the UI technique, so while he's not getting stronger, his reaction time will still be crazy.
Did you forget about Divine energy/God ki since its a angel level technique that is used to activate UI omen, sign, and Sayain Instinct (manga) as well as the aura which is seen the heat it caused within TOP arc in his final fight against Jiren and since Goku is using the technique improperly as stated by Whis UI for goku is a power up itself considering the negative side effects of stamina drain as the fight prolongs this is a fight with no powers LOL so it cannot be used even whis himself has demonstrated over and over using UI with no aura around him showing his TRUE mastery. And we have seen base goku get bruised on his arm from bullets in DBS anime episode 77 showing that he to has human level durability even the fact that a laser gun was able to almost kill a SSG blue fatigued Goku in "Resurrection of F Movie". Goku also drops his guard a lot of times showcasing his recklessness to which Whis and other have to point that out to him when they train seriously meanwhile batman is more polished, perfected, and resourceful a master tactician.
@@raphbolt7715 pretty sure Goku uses his ui as a regular ssj vs granolah but i may be misremembering. Goku being hit by the bullets is irrelevant as its filler.
This highlights my biggest problem with batman. He is not "human" and has not been for a very long time. Half of the things he does are physically impossible for a human regardless of technique or skill because our physiology has built-in limitations. Being smart enough to know where the god-like being moving at light speed is going to punch him won't help when he is being hit a million times before his brain can physically send the signal to his mussels to move. If he can somehow react to that, then by definition he is superhuman and thus no longer "human". It's exactly like his sneaking around superman feats. Superman has been shown to hear beyond dimensions so no amount of skill would make it possible for an actual human to go undetected. batman would somehow have to move without his neurons firing, without his mussels moving, without any internal biological functions occurring and without moving attoms to be that silent and no amount of skill makes that possible.
Please never stop generating creative videos like this, turning shower thought like "what if" questions into actual detailed vids. I swear a Playlist of these would be like drinking crack with cookies.
Goku could keep up with and adapt to martial Arts masters when he was a kid. That was before Korin's training where he could predict how his opponents are going to move by reading their breathing. Or Popo's training where he learned how to make his movements so effecient he can put on a bell and then do a flip without ringing it. Or how by the time we get to the Android saga he has lowkey telepathy can can search people's feelings. He has a huge bag of tricks that have nothing to do with power levels and that's not even factoring it that he's very experienced. Maybe not to the level of Batman but he's been around
I feel like a lot of Dragon ball vs Marvel/DC matchups are often a bit unfair to begin with. Dragon Ball is a series written by one guy over just a few decades with Long breaks inbetween, while Marvel and DC charatcers have been around almost twise as Long with multiple writers who all have different interpretations of the charatcers, ranking from keeping them more grounded and human to godlike and unstoppable people who can beat every character they come across. So the fact that Dragon Ball often loses these matchup shouldnt really come as that much of a surprise
The issue is each author is writing an alternative character. Adam west batman isn’t very powerful. But he is still batman. Early batman would struggle with some real humans. Modern batman is literally superhuman in feats
@@tillburr6799 Seth did briefly mention that. That in some stories, Batman is not really that powerful, but those stories still take place in the rebirth continuity, or the older continuities it spawned from. So we end up with a Batman that could basically solo some verses with just his martial art skills, not because of Seth is being biased, but because that is what happens when multiple people tackle the same charatcers and you have thousands of stories that all have to work together.
It works the other way as well. While DC/Marvel characters often have their weaknesses and their low points/limits depending on the writer DB characters are constantly getting stronger since the writer is constantly trying to one-up himself and introduce new even more powerful Villians that could easily oneshot the old ones and new forms for the characters to be able to defeat them.
@@digimonlover1632 true,but a new power or boost a DC character gets might get retconned with the next writer. While Dragonball character just constantly get stronger and stronger to the point of oneshotting themselves from the previous arc.
“Batman has learned martial arts, and so does Goku, but Batman has learned *more* martial arts, so I think he’d probably beat Goku.” - Death Battle, probably
@@some_shitposting_idiot3023 Fr his tail? you mean the thing that has been gone for over 30 years? I didnt see goku rely on his tail in the cell games is all ima say lol.
Umm he said this in a stream but this been planned for like months for this month will get that elder ring video soon that one been a year jn the Making
During Gokus fight with ssj2 Caulifla, caulifla was actually 5 times gokus power level, but even with that he was able to keep up with her while being tired. Edit- she was actually 50x stronger
I was saying this exact same thing when Goku fought Cell Cell was easily 1.5-2x stronger than Goku was when they battled but Goku was able to keep up with raw power because of how skilled he is as a martial artist.
The biggest thing here that Seth didn't touch on is the size difference. Bats is MASSIVE. And with all that skill and all that mass Goku if both were humans with no powers and stuff is just fighting at a severe disadvantage from the jump. The Wondy and Ares wank is SILLY but just being able to scrap with them and not get his chest caved in on a daily is impressive. Another thing Seth left out is how he scales to the other gods are martial arts in DC. Shiva and Richard Dragon both have reacted to lasers on multiple occasions. And Shiva has the ability to see react learn and counter any strike and technique after seeing it once. And Bats fights them fairly well often. That means that Bats has to throw a different strike every strike or Shiva runs right through him. The power scaling of humans in America cape stories just aren't fair for these types of fights.
He’s got 5-7 inches and about 25lbs on goku ( I’m not certain about the weight, but I know goku’s somewhere in between 5’7 and 5’9 (Vegeta’s like 5’2-5’5 so it could be slightly more))
Ultra Instinct is based off of the Japanese term mushin. It's a meditative mental state. Artists, monks and martial artists have all described the act of getting so good at something, you don't think when you do do it. Your body thinks for you. That's mushin.
In other words, motor memories are stored as implicit memory, not declarative memory. Trying to use your conscious brain for motor tasks is basically accessing the wrong database. -SMBC Comics, "Conscious"
Yeah because batman has 80 years of lore & multiple different writers. if they use their prime Canon forms it'll be true MUI Goku vs TBWL or Final armor Batman. Essentially a guy who can possibly punch away a universe, & shake a void for some minutes at best (goku) vs a guy who can rewrite the multiverse into whatever he likes (TBWL or Final armor batman) Not a fair fight, I don't see it being much of a challenge for batman to be honest.
Kinda wish Seth went over goku's techniques that aren't ki related like the afterimage technique or used statements in the manga and other sources that tell us what fighting style goku uses. It wouldn't change the outcome in the slightest just would've been nice to see.
Yo I don't care what anyone says, the way Seth breaks down Goku and Batman Made perfect sense and trust me I am a huge Goku fanboy and I 100% agree with this outcome. I wish more people was as clear with there breakdowns of characters or at the very least made sense when doing so, thank you Seth for amazing videos and top tier quality of work we are all glad you're back.
@@Violent_Wolfen If this was a composite Batman that'd include the noncanon stuff, and non Canon stuff makes this an even bigger batman W. Seth just took the version of batman that has Canon feats.
I feel like Goku takes it at a mid to high diff as I feel like he could adapt to Batman’s fighting styles. EDIT: shit I underestimated how skilled the caped crusader is lol
Isn’t Goku‘s whole thing to move the most optimally so that no matter how many fighting styles the opponent has, he’ll be able to counter it regardless which negs A high quantity of fighting styles to begin with? Pretty sure it’s said in between Master Roshi and Goku as well
batman is said to adapt too he legit made a new fighting style against a deadlier version of himself also told to predict when someone comes back from the future and his body moves on its own he is just better with 80 years of experience and 127 fighting styles
2:23 yeah, those people weren’t paying attention to what cell said about his battle instincts. I mean, he blatantly stated it. so the people that say he would just be a kickboxer or whatever, aren’t paying attention close enough.
I just stumbled upon your channel and I’m extremely impressed with the quality and substance of your work, Seth. Thanks, now I can binge more anime materials.
SethTheProgrammer will be well-known as that guy who talked about fictional characters far more than the average person. Thank you, Seth. I will always know that Azathoth isn't the supreme being of H.P. Lovecraft.
@@dumbledorelives93 My favourite theory is that Nyarlathotep is impersonating every outer god and great old one (with his shape shifting ability), so he can basically toy around with the people's mind.
@@iisave8247 People say yogsothoth is acually a part of azathoth's dream, however that would mean that azathoth is aware of his own existence in the story of yogsothoth which wouldn't make sense as far as im aware because hes a blind idiot god with no consciousness or sentience.
I'd be down for a full blown tournament of skill at this type. Especially if it gives light to some Underrated characters in terms of skill (usually due to their strength of other abilities)
I love how unbiased you are with your content. While Goku is insanely gifted and adaptable, batman's entire character is based around using techniques, tools, intuition and intelligence to defeat gods. The only way i see Goku possibly winning is as you said, through submission techniques. However I'm sure batman has techniques to counter those or dislocate specific joints to set himself free etc. Goku can't even use hypnosis or drunken fist because batman has faces similar foes as well. So in about every scenario batman wins.
In this situation of both being just top level human Batman wins due to his skill. What really puts him ahead is his intellect. Everyone always asks the question, when they put Batman against anyone, “with, or without prep time” for a reason. He is a pure human that fights and wins against Gods
Seth forgot something that will turn this whole battle around… Gokus durability, in the classic, CLASSIC dragon ball anime KID goku was able to tank bullets from bulmas uzi without actually taking any physical damage, so in a real fight goku will adapt to anything batman throws at him and batman would do little damage because of gokus durability
I think Goku wouldn’t get UI since it’s an anime power, but instead he should get Mushin which is basically UI without the amps. His evolutionary adaptations would be improved however. Edit: I'm incredibly annoyed because currently around 20 of the 24 replies are saying how Goku in the manga and Anime can use UI MISSING THE POINT THAT THIS VIDEO ISN'T MANGA NOR ANIME GOKU. THIS IS A PEAK HUMAN WITH THE IQ AND SKILL OF GOKU. This peak human wouldn't be strong enough to use UI as Whis specifically stated for Goku to use 100% of UI he needs to transform to get stronger as his body is just too weak. So if a peak human tried to use UI he would explode the instant he activates it. So to be fair I just used to IRL UI which does very similar things, but instead of actually giving physical boosts it just gives mental boosts.
Goku mastered martial arts so good he gained powers of angels it's so well he moves without thinking about it lol its so natural its like "Instincts" we also gotta realize goku blitzes batman easily
all im going to say is, Goku as a child was not infusing his punches with ki and was still one punching full grown men and as a child could keep up with the best martial artist in the world
@@karshinp7896 That’s what we talking about?!?! Goku is a human in this fight so u saying thats goku natural strength is pointless cause we talking bout as if goku a regular human
I can tell you that Saitama would be put in the ground pretty dang fast. Garou even makes a point to comment on how untrained he is, and easy to read the moves of. His pure physically prowess just makes it impossible to fully react to his moves.
Ultra Instinct, in my opinion, could be used in the context of "only martial arts, no power" as it's just instinctive movements due to Goku's incredible level and knowledge in martial arts, ignoring the godly power boost it gives in Dragon Ball Super
I think if we give Goku UI Omen it becomes a really interesting and drawn out match. They both have thrown hands with stronger opponents and put in work with just their raw skill, adaptability and precognition countless times. The problem here is that Batman has no super powers to speak of so he'd be at full power where-as many of the techniques and skills that Goku has mastered over his life-time would not be a tool in his arsenal anymore, much of which has been a focus of his training in recent time since he's fighting galaxy level threats; things that would even give Superman a run for his money. Batman is effectively fighting Karate Kid with Saiyan biology and quirks so he's heavily favored to win. Here's why I say that, Goku would be having the time of his life fighting someone as skilled as Bats and even if he saw an opportunity to bring the fight to an early close since there are no established stakes in this scenario (it's not like Bats is going to blow up the Earth or some nonsense) AND given that he's the type of person who LIVES TO BE PUSHED TO THE LIMIT OF HIS ABILITY he would intentionally draw out the fight as long as possible to get the most out of it. Goku is genuinely the type of guy to get his ass kicked and be back after eating a sensu bean asking for round 2 until he's got you figured out well enough that he can can beat your ass. So in a single bout this would almost certainly go to Batman but much like how he has his sights set on beating Beerus, Goku would eventually get the W on Bats even if it took him losing hundreds or thousands of times in the process.
Goku is literally decades and decades of peak physical prowess and the mental grindset embodied in the practise of Martial Arts. I feel like it got a little... lost... during the mid to late DBZ episodes. But the fight with Kid Buu and a fair chunk of Super's late fights, show a LOT of that old Kame House and WMAT training, shining through.
@@taywil4496 will it's your opinion everyone as them. And calling me a weeb will why are you watching this video then about a anime character vs a cartoon comic character.?
@@malvinyct2544 Supermans sparred with both Wonder Woman and Batman in h2h and were taught by them too.Infact Bruce was impressed of supermans fast adapting abilities
If I remember correctly in the manga version of the tournament of power Beerus and Whis comment on Roshi's fighting capabilities saying that it's almost ultra instinct.
If Batman was fighting a Goku who doesn't have transformation or kyo ken, then definitely everything Seth has said 100% valid facts. Also Batman has kept up with Superman who has laser eyes, so it would be alright if Goku uses his ki range attacks as long as Batman has full use of his gadgets. Even still, it comes down to Batman only being able to keep up with a base form Goku. Eventually, Goku would be overwhelming Batman simply with his Sayian biology. Goku would be getting stronger as they fight. But if we were to remove that factor from Goku, it would technically be a win for Batman in a full martial arts contest. He has fought and defeated human bases enemy who were physically and combat superior like Bane.
Speaking of Ares and Karate Kid, the two have actually fought and Ares said he was more skilled than himself, being so skilled he could fight an actual god.
Something else that would likely have Batman winning in a no powers fight against Goku, is size and reach, with Batman being at least 5-6 inches taller, which means a considerable reach advantage. This is if you consider stuff like boxing and mma in a realistic sense Edit: also the difference in body weight would be considerable. They would realistically be in completely different weight classes in combat sports
Batman will break his arms fighting kid Goku Goku is not a normal person he is still madly overpower without ki for a regular human have you not seen what happen to regular human when put up against the z fighters Goku could hold everything back and still kill batman
@@trevormcgregormiller765 I’m aware of this, the entire concept of the video is taking away superpowers and looking at fighting skill. I watched classic dragon ball, and kid Goku could easily wash batman when you give him his powers from classic dragon ball. That being said, I’m talking in a human on human sense, as this video was. This isn’t about who would win in a no holds barred fight.
This is one of things where the question is really: “If Master Rossi existed in DC canon how much better would he be than the top martial artists in that universe?” The answer to that directly determines who wins this. Goku is a Master. Hands down. The person with the most styles doesn’t determine who wins, IF all other things being equal. I dont think Batman has more skill than Goku at fighting. He has more SKILLS plural, but he’s not more SKILLED at fighting. You only need to master YOUR Martial art to its pinnacle. Analogy: For a race you can pick whatever car you want (in the correct class) the one who wins the race is gonna be the better driver, not the guy with more cars. Batman just has a longer and more detailed history EXPLAINING how good he is, where Anime just stays vague and says “this dude is the best fighter I’ve ever seen” and leaves it there. Fun thought experiment though. I think they would go back and forth taking wins off each other. But I do think Batman would win the very first spar they do.
The thing is, Goku doesn't have a single "style". I can think of 8 different masters he had in his entire life off the top of my head. Plus, he's fighting different kinds of opponents with different styles also. His main strength is his adaptability. To use your analogy, It's almost as if he's changing cars mid-race to gain advantages. And all of that culminates into ultra instinct. Imagine all of Goku's cars being mashed together to make a car on steroids.
The question is irrelevant. Goku has trained under Roshi, yes, but he's also trained under Popo, Kami, King Kai, Whis, and has fought in multiple world martial arts tournaments as well as multiversal tournaments against the strongest fighters in multiple parallel universes, and basically took the win (aside from / despite U.I. being "incomplete" at the time). He has also practiced what he preaches by literally fighting/defeating the strongest villains at planetary, galactic, and universal scales over the course of the DBZ / DBS and manga arcs. In no universe does Bruce Wayne beat Goku unaided on raw martial arts / strength / speed alone. He's not even in the same league / class as Goku. He can't even keep up on speed (which Goku canonically moves faster than any standard human perception [e.g., Mr. Satan, anyone who hasn't trained to his level, etc.]; they can't even perceive Goku's movement while fighting, only the sonic booms and such of the fighters' "clashes"). Bruce Wayne fares no better on strength, as Goku has literally trained in at least 100x if not 1,000x, 10,000x Earth's gravity, if not more on Beerus' / Whis' planet. And, to be frank, even in "base form" by the end of Super, Goku has approximately SSJ God/Red level power. Bruce Wayne, simply hasn't had that kind of training in either strength or speed. HE sure as hell isn't even a planetary-level ffighter, let alone galactic, universal, or God-level. Goku bodies Bruce Wayne / Batman, all day, every day. Before Bruce Wayne can even blink. If people are being HONEST.
@@MGmirkin No the question in not irrelevant. The reason that question is posed, is because if Master Roshi > DC marital artists, then all of the masters above Master Roshi scale that much higher in technique. C'mon bro bro.
Batman actually probably knows more martial arts than goku, but he has shown on multiple occasions he can learn techniques from watching them(not master them but has the physical understanding to emulate them)
I honestly think UI counts as a power-up/power in this case, just because UI is used like a transformation later on in the manga. That and UI just gives Goku an INSANELY unfair advantage
In the manga, it’s treated as both. UI the technique can be used in any form, but UI the transformation is the last resort form. Just one that was established in the manga, the next two fights were literally miles stronger than Goku, so it wasn’t represented enough as a technique
Seth put some respect on every character mentioned in this video. Also with the mention of Wonder Woman, could we get some mentions for her power scaling? I feel like she goes a bit underrated considering some of her feats.
Well which Wonder Woman specifically, cause DCEU WW for example is very sub-planetary while Infinite Frontier Wonder Woman on the other hand literally walks over the Omniverse(includes everything DC ever published in it's historty) like it's a street crossing XD? But a general rule of thumb for normal comic versions is that Wonder Woman is somewhere around a serious Supes, he is often physically stronger, has a more rounded inherent power-set and can fly faster, while she is often more skilled, more versatile due to her gear(her lasso alone has already countless of hax abilities at it's best) and can fight or at least react faster.
Goku used ultra instinct in his normal forms in the granolah arc. So while he can't use his white haired form or omen, he can use those UI principles in base now.
@@youareacoward8459 read the manga again, Ultra Instinct is a technique AND a form. You can use Ultra Instinct the technique without using "chi"/ki because it uses martial art principles
@@youareacoward8459 That's not even remotely true as Roshi can begin to tap into UI without God-ki. Ki isn't required for UI, its just a state of being.
At the end of the day you can’t make both of them human. Goku is an Alien and Batman isn’t. This wouldn’t be important if Saiyans were equal to humans, but they aren’t. Planet Vegeta’s gravity is 10 times that of earth. Science literally tells you that people who live on a planet with a more intense gravity would naturally evolve to have stronger bones, muscle fibers, and overall strength to compensate. It’s the same argument to why we have weight classes except let’s say they are the same weight(hypothetically speaking) but the point is goku’s muscle fibers would be so crazy in an MMA match with no “powers” that there’s no way Batman outpowers him. Outclassing I can see that point. But then that brings the argument how is he gonna outclass a guy who has such a high bone density that you literally kicking him can break your leg. And this isn’t something that’s make believe it happened to Anderson Silva verses someone with the same weight and density, you’re better off leg kicking a bus repeatedly. And what submission is gonna allow you to close off his reinforced windpipe. 💀
Batman has too much plot armor, theres no way a human can be that good at fighting. Thats ridiculous. Before batman even has a chance to throw a punch at someone like darkseid, darkseid could run around the planet multiple times and still kill batman. You could say batman would win this fight but its only because hes poorly written
No he wouldn't. He needs gadgets to win. Batman may know martial arts but he doesn't train as much as goku. He doesn't train with elite coaches and training partners like goku. All goku does is train and fight. Batman doesn't and because he's worried about his identity he can't train with the best fighters. Goku has won world and universal tournaments for fighing. Batman hasn't
@@thirtythree504 Cap, yes he does he beat Karate Kid and all his martial arts from across the galaxy and far future and can match a God with knowledge from the beginning of time
Lmao i have to disagree with that. Batman isn't even the best martial artist in his own universe, examples like Lady Shiva could beat him, and that's only within his own universe
The thing about ultra instinct is that goku can harden his body. I dont know if it would be allowed in a martial arts only battle but in his battle with moro, moro tried attacking goku but broke his own arm.
@@Omega-AlexGt I'm not saying that it's crazy but he hardened his body as a way to lessen damage. Moro broke his arm from just punching goku. In a battle with no powers that's actually a crazy feat. The body hardening is exclusive to UI meaning it would be allowed.
I would actually love to see Owl Man in his suit vs Goku. That’s actually on par basic strength wise since he could handle short bouts with power houses.
You also gotta take into account Saiyan biology. Even without Ki control, they are built to be fighting machines. It's not stated enough that a Saiyan's skin is woven like Kevlar. In original dragon ball, Goku takes an axe to the head and it shatters before his skin does. He didn't see it coming, nor was he using Ki to protect himself. This was purely a biological feat. Same thing could be said about small ammunition. Goku, without provoking his Ki, was able to take a shot from a sub machine gun, and all it did was leave a small scratch. They have stronger muscles, they don't need performance enhancing drugs to bulk up, they have more stamina, etc. I see Goku winning this 7/10 times.
Yea I was gonna point out the same thing like why do they have to make Goku to human level why not just his basic biology as a Saiyan without ki and without transformations, he's shown so much of it in the entire series but in super they nearly removed it which is just bad story writing 🤦 but i think without any powers Goku still takes the win not just with his biology but also in terms of skill too.
Ultra Instinct is not the "art of throwing hands". It's based on Flow State. Moving without thinking. Bruce Lee often spoke of it. UI Sign/Omen was his body avoiding damage on its own, whereas he had to think about attacking. MUI is when he stopped thinking all together and simply moved. Whis talks about it numerous times. Not sure how you skipped that.
@@kawakiuzumaki5934 especially considering, as Seth pointed out in the video, Batman can also enter a flow state. Being able to use Ultra Instinct in this fight wouldn't give Goku an advantage, it would just make him equal to Batman.
So this is completely off the topic but any thoughts on Accelerator vs Saitama? I thought my man Saitama had some human limits like not being able to breathe in space but after that Saitama vs Garou bit I don't know if my mans Accelerator's reflection can hold up to them punches my G.

People forget that classic Dragon Ball was a heavily inspired by real martial arts series, and it shows in how detailed martial art sequences are presented in the series.
But Batman was a thing years before Dragon Ball...
Also, no one in the Dragonball universe seems to know how to grapple, only striking. Batman would just take them down and choke them out🤣
@@romesrepublic facts😂😂
@@romesrepublic Dragon ball and dragon ball Z shows the use of grappling many times. Often Goku or someone else gets put in a chokehold, (the famous Goku bites Frieza's tail scene) though you pretty much never see it in the Tenkaichi Budokai probably because it's a tournament, with rules.
You are correct, in that grappling is very effective against human opponents, but in Dragon Ball as a whole many of Goku's foes don't need to breathe, and their physiology/circulatory systems might even be in their skeleton so choking them wouldn't really do much.
Like do Frieza or Cell have a blood supply that could be cut off by strangling the neck?
Neither of them appear to need to BREATHE, so maybe their biology isn't something that a chokehold would work on.
And it certainly wouldn't work on the Androids/Cyborgs/Majiin Buu.
Batman fucks people up like a Batman does.
Goku fucks people up like an alien does.
@Tyler Thompson Aliens in the DBZ universe are a whole nother thing entirely. Frieza, Buu, and a lot of the others can survive in space, with half of their bodies missing. But if you made Goku a human, even with all of his training, skills, and experience, Batman would still destroy him with relative ease. Batman is bigger, stronger, longer reach, and has a more complete knowledge of martial arts than any of the Z fighters. You need powers to beat Batman, plain and simple. Even then, there's no guarantee you'll win unless you catch him completely off guard.
One of my favorite things about the super manga is that it explains ultra instinct MUCH better than the anime by having roshi ask goku "when did martial arts become about who has the higher power level?" And then having him remember all the lessons his previous masters were teaching him which almost all centered around conservation of energy when moving and dodging, honing his martial arts technique rather than his physical power.
Thank you. I always liked they way Master Roshi gave Goku some advice to achieve Ultra Instinct. Now you may not like that Master Roshi Psuedo version of "Ultra Instinct" but master Roshi has done drunken boxing before.
@@warangelcpgamebreak no tbh i think the martial arts master whos like 100+ years old nowing how to do a pseudo ultra instinct makes perfect sense and reinforces the idea that ultra instinct is more of a technique than a form which the manga expands upon in the gas/granola arc.
@@brawler8839 That's cool that somone appreciates that. I also took it as Toyotaro showing he appreciates Toriyama.
The series gave a great example of that when Goku fought Freiza when he brought Freiza back from his hell. Freiza supposedly trained for the first time in his life, gained a new form and got ridiculously powerful. Freiza lost all his steam and lost the fight because he trained up to that form but didn’t train using that form.
@@brawler8839 same I think it makes perfect sense and is a nice appreciation of Roshi

Where 💀💀💀
@@visible8183 you’re commenting on one of them numbhead
Idk about that he doesn’t talk about other series I’m tired of db Naruto videos we need some new shit
Agreed. It's never just the same old stuff...
why are you eating his meat so bad..... martial arts only 1v1's are quite popular rn its not as if he single handedly thought of the concept himself
Goku is VERY adaptable that’s one if his greatest feats in a real world. So anyone who fights him would have to constantly change up very quick constantly.
Which Batman is entirely capable of
Soo batman
Batman has more intuition and has the same, if not more intution than Goku. This also has me beliveing that Batman would be the only human with Ultra Instinc if he was in dragonball. Hardwork in Dragonball takes you far
Have you read the god of highschool manhwa jin mori is a beast.
Which Batman is very capable off since he knows 50+ fighting styles plus variations of his own and is capable of adapting really damn well himself (to the point of defeating opponents such as Deathstroke,Lady Shiva and Cassandra Cain who can literally read,copy and predict movements)
I despise how much goku is underestimated when it comes to his martial arts skill. People just think he's a golden monkey shooty blue beam man.
He's a martial arts master who has learned from countless masters.
He'd also arguably still have the ability of reacting with his body and not his mind, so a ultra instinct sign is theoretically still fundamentally possible even if we grant no powers. Reacting with his body and not his mind has nothing to do with powers, so he'd arguably still have godly reaction.
That's probably because most people haven't seen OG DB
@@crestofhonor2349 yup. Love og db for the skill and technique based fighting, also why I love kengan ashura.
all goku has to do is utilize his instincts and he has UI in base. We've seen that in the manga he doesn't have to transform to use the UI technique, so while he's not getting stronger, his reaction time will still be crazy.
Did you forget about Divine energy/God ki since its a angel level technique that is used to activate UI omen, sign, and Sayain Instinct (manga) as well as the aura which is seen the heat it caused within TOP arc in his final fight against Jiren and since Goku is using the technique improperly as stated by Whis UI for goku is a power up itself considering the negative side effects of stamina drain as the fight prolongs this is a fight with no powers LOL so it cannot be used even whis himself has demonstrated over and over using UI with no aura around him showing his TRUE mastery.
And we have seen base goku get bruised on his arm from bullets in DBS anime episode 77 showing that he to has human level durability even the fact that a laser gun was able to almost kill a SSG blue fatigued Goku in "Resurrection of F Movie". Goku also drops his guard a lot of times showcasing his recklessness to which Whis and other have to point that out to him when they train seriously meanwhile batman is more polished, perfected, and resourceful a master tactician.
@@raphbolt7715 pretty sure Goku uses his ui as a regular ssj vs granolah but i may be misremembering. Goku being hit by the bullets is irrelevant as its filler.
This needs to be a whole series. Seriously I'm really interested in the next one
This highlights my biggest problem with batman. He is not "human" and has not been for a very long time. Half of the things he does are physically impossible for a human regardless of technique or skill because our physiology has built-in limitations. Being smart enough to know where the god-like being moving at light speed is going to punch him won't help when he is being hit a million times before his brain can physically send the signal to his mussels to move. If he can somehow react to that, then by definition he is superhuman and thus no longer "human". It's exactly like his sneaking around superman feats. Superman has been shown to hear beyond dimensions so no amount of skill would make it possible for an actual human to go undetected. batman would somehow have to move without his neurons firing, without his mussels moving, without any internal biological functions occurring and without moving attoms to be that silent and no amount of skill makes that possible.
lol thx you, Batman stopped being just "peak human" a long time ago
This might be why Amanda waller classifys batman as metahuman. It makes more sense this way rather than just a plot armor excuse

Goku could keep up with and adapt to martial Arts masters when he was a kid. That was before Korin's training where he could predict how his opponents are going to move by reading their breathing. Or Popo's training where he learned how to make his movements so effecient he can put on a bell and then do a flip without ringing it. Or how by the time we get to the Android saga he has lowkey telepathy can can search people's feelings. He has a huge bag of tricks that have nothing to do with power levels and that's not even factoring it that he's very experienced. Maybe not to the level of Batman but he's been around

I feel like a lot of Dragon ball vs Marvel/DC matchups are often a bit unfair to begin with. Dragon Ball is a series written by one guy over just a few decades with Long breaks inbetween, while Marvel and DC charatcers have been around almost twise as Long with multiple writers who all have different interpretations of the charatcers, ranking from keeping them more grounded and human to godlike and unstoppable people who can beat every character they come across. So the fact that Dragon Ball often loses these matchup shouldnt really come as that much of a surprise
The issue is each author is writing an alternative character. Adam west batman isn’t very powerful. But he is still batman. Early batman would struggle with some real humans. Modern batman is literally superhuman in feats
@@tillburr6799 Seth did briefly mention that. That in some stories, Batman is not really that powerful, but those stories still take place in the rebirth continuity, or the older continuities it spawned from. So we end up with a Batman that could basically solo some verses with just his martial art skills, not because of Seth is being biased, but because that is what happens when multiple people tackle the same charatcers and you have thousands of stories that all have to work together.
It works the other way as well. While DC/Marvel characters often have their weaknesses and their low points/limits depending on the writer DB characters are constantly getting stronger since the writer is constantly trying to one-up himself and introduce new even more powerful Villians that could easily oneshot the old ones and new forms for the characters to be able to defeat them.
@@OK-yy6qz Eh not really since the same thing happens a lot with comic book writers too even when there are different interpretations.
@@digimonlover1632 true,but a new power or boost a DC character gets might get retconned with the next writer. While Dragonball character just constantly get stronger and stronger to the point of oneshotting themselves from the previous arc.

During Gokus fight with ssj2 Caulifla, caulifla was actually 5 times gokus power level, but even with that he was able to keep up with her while being tired.
Edit- she was actually 50x stronger
I was saying this exact same thing when Goku fought Cell
Cell was easily 1.5-2x stronger than Goku was when they battled but Goku was able to keep up with raw power because of how skilled he is as a martial artist.
The biggest thing here that Seth didn't touch on is the size difference. Bats is MASSIVE. And with all that skill and all that mass Goku if both were humans with no powers and stuff is just fighting at a severe disadvantage from the jump. The Wondy and Ares wank is SILLY but just being able to scrap with them and not get his chest caved in on a daily is impressive. Another thing Seth left out is how he scales to the other gods are martial arts in DC. Shiva and Richard Dragon both have reacted to lasers on multiple occasions. And Shiva has the ability to see react learn and counter any strike and technique after seeing it once. And Bats fights them fairly well often. That means that Bats has to throw a different strike every strike or Shiva runs right through him. The power scaling of humans in America cape stories just aren't fair for these types of fights.
How massive is he?
@@andywu1981 pause

Ultra Instinct is based off of the Japanese term mushin. It's a meditative mental state. Artists, monks and martial artists have all described the act of getting so good at something, you don't think when you do do it. Your body thinks for you. That's mushin.
That's the exact same concept as Flow State.

I think Goku wouldn’t get UI since it’s an anime power, but instead he should get Mushin which is basically UI without the amps. His evolutionary adaptations would be improved however.
Edit: I'm incredibly annoyed because currently around 20 of the 24 replies are saying how Goku in the manga and Anime can use UI MISSING THE POINT THAT THIS VIDEO ISN'T MANGA NOR ANIME GOKU. THIS IS A PEAK HUMAN WITH THE IQ AND SKILL OF GOKU. This peak human wouldn't be strong enough to use UI as Whis specifically stated for Goku to use 100% of UI he needs to transform to get stronger as his body is just too weak. So if a peak human tried to use UI he would explode the instant he activates it. So to be fair I just used to IRL UI which does very similar things, but instead of actually giving physical boosts it just gives mental boosts.

I think if we give Goku UI Omen it becomes a really interesting and drawn out match.
They both have thrown hands with stronger opponents and put in work with just their raw skill, adaptability and precognition countless times.
The problem here is that Batman has no super powers to speak of so he'd be at full power where-as many of the techniques and skills that Goku has mastered over his life-time would not be a tool in his arsenal anymore, much of which has been a focus of his training in recent time since he's fighting galaxy level threats; things that would even give Superman a run for his money.
Batman is effectively fighting Karate Kid with Saiyan biology and quirks so he's heavily favored to win. Here's why I say that, Goku would be having the time of his life fighting someone as skilled as Bats and even if he saw an opportunity to bring the fight to an early close since there are no established stakes in this scenario (it's not like Bats is going to blow up the Earth or some nonsense) AND given that he's the type of person who LIVES TO BE PUSHED TO THE LIMIT OF HIS ABILITY he would intentionally draw out the fight as long as possible to get the most out of it.
Goku is genuinely the type of guy to get his ass kicked and be back after eating a sensu bean asking for round 2 until he's got you figured out well enough that he can can beat your ass.
So in a single bout this would almost certainly go to Batman but much like how he has his sights set on beating Beerus, Goku would eventually get the W on Bats even if it took him losing hundreds or thousands of times in the process.
Goku is literally decades and decades of peak physical prowess and the mental grindset embodied in the practise of Martial Arts. I feel like it got a little... lost... during the mid to late DBZ episodes. But the fight with Kid Buu and a fair chunk of Super's late fights, show a LOT of that old Kame House and WMAT training, shining through.

All of these GOKU and Dragon Ball Z worshippers are biased. Their lord is Goku. No anime outside Asia can win in their mind
Movie Dumbledore VS Movie Gandalf, AND just for kicks both book versions against each other
If both were at equal stats, hand to hand only, no amps or amp techniques, and no gadgets………Then Batman folds
You watch the video?
He wins hand to hand don't matter what level he is he beats anyone with just hands to hands.

Fun fact in the comics Superman lost to Mohammed Ali in a boxing tournament. No I’m not kidding.

Have we ever see Superman use material arts?
Everytime I read the comics I only see simple punch, heat visions
And then a whack to the face
@@malvinyct2544 Supermans sparred with both Wonder Woman and Batman in h2h and were taught by them too.Infact Bruce was impressed of supermans fast adapting abilities
Honestly... i wanna see the final batsuit vs goku argument.
Said version of batman is so underrated it's ridiculous
Love your vids, would love a Gurren Lagann scale vid
If I remember correctly in the manga version of the tournament of power Beerus and Whis comment on Roshi's fighting capabilities saying that it's almost ultra instinct.
I don't read manga, so I never knew that. That's very interesting to be honest.
Batman's Plot Armor >>>>> Goku
Just saying you never came back to the lee situation but I forgive you because the video was still amazing
If Batman was fighting a Goku who doesn't have transformation or kyo ken, then definitely everything Seth has said 100% valid facts. Also Batman has kept up with Superman who has laser eyes, so it would be alright if Goku uses his ki range attacks as long as Batman has full use of his gadgets. Even still, it comes down to Batman only being able to keep up with a base form Goku. Eventually, Goku would be overwhelming Batman simply with his Sayian biology. Goku would be getting stronger as they fight. But if we were to remove that factor from Goku, it would technically be a win for Batman in a full martial arts contest. He has fought and defeated human bases enemy who were physically and combat superior like Bane.
Speaking of Ares and Karate Kid, the two have actually fought and Ares said he was more skilled than himself, being so skilled he could fight an actual god.
Something else that would likely have Batman winning in a no powers fight against Goku, is size and reach, with Batman being at least 5-6 inches taller, which means a considerable reach advantage. This is if you consider stuff like boxing and mma in a realistic sense
Edit: also the difference in body weight would be considerable. They would realistically be in completely different weight classes in combat sports
Batman will break his arms fighting kid Goku Goku is not a normal person he is still madly overpower without ki for a regular human have you not seen what happen to regular human when put up against the z fighters Goku could hold everything back and still kill batman
@@trevormcgregormiller765 I’m aware of this, the entire concept of the video is taking away superpowers and looking at fighting skill. I watched classic dragon ball, and kid Goku could easily wash batman when you give him his powers from classic dragon ball. That being said, I’m talking in a human on human sense, as this video was. This isn’t about who would win in a no holds barred fight.
Belly is significant bigger than Batman and goku put paws on him
Do you think size matters? Batman fights bane which is also a ton taller than he is
I'm happy someone finally understands how UI works its not that complicated
This is one of things where the question is really: “If Master Rossi existed in DC canon how much better would he be than the top martial artists in that universe?” The answer to that directly determines who wins this. Goku is a Master. Hands down. The person with the most styles doesn’t determine who wins, IF all other things being equal. I dont think Batman has more skill than Goku at fighting. He has more SKILLS plural, but he’s not more SKILLED at fighting. You only need to master YOUR Martial art to its pinnacle.
Analogy: For a race you can pick whatever car you want (in the correct class) the one who wins the race is gonna be the better driver, not the guy with more cars.
Batman just has a longer and more detailed history EXPLAINING how good he is, where Anime just stays vague and says “this dude is the best fighter I’ve ever seen” and leaves it there. Fun thought experiment though. I think they would go back and forth taking wins off each other. But I do think Batman would win the very first spar they do.
The thing is, Goku doesn't have a single "style". I can think of 8 different masters he had in his entire life off the top of my head. Plus, he's fighting different kinds of opponents with different styles also. His main strength is his adaptability. To use your analogy, It's almost as if he's changing cars mid-race to gain advantages. And all of that culminates into ultra instinct. Imagine all of Goku's cars being mashed together to make a car on steroids.
The question is irrelevant.
Goku has trained under Roshi, yes, but he's also trained under Popo, Kami, King Kai, Whis, and has fought in multiple world martial arts tournaments as well as multiversal tournaments against the strongest fighters in multiple parallel universes, and basically took the win (aside from / despite U.I. being "incomplete" at the time).
He has also practiced what he preaches by literally fighting/defeating the strongest villains at planetary, galactic, and universal scales over the course of the DBZ / DBS and manga arcs.
In no universe does Bruce Wayne beat Goku unaided on raw martial arts / strength / speed alone. He's not even in the same league / class as Goku.
He can't even keep up on speed (which Goku canonically moves faster than any standard human perception [e.g., Mr. Satan, anyone who hasn't trained to his level, etc.]; they can't even perceive Goku's movement while fighting, only the sonic booms and such of the fighters' "clashes").
Bruce Wayne fares no better on strength, as Goku has literally trained in at least 100x if not 1,000x, 10,000x Earth's gravity, if not more on Beerus' / Whis' planet.
And, to be frank, even in "base form" by the end of Super, Goku has approximately SSJ God/Red level power.
Bruce Wayne, simply hasn't had that kind of training in either strength or speed. HE sure as hell isn't even a planetary-level ffighter, let alone galactic, universal, or God-level. Goku bodies Bruce Wayne / Batman, all day, every day. Before Bruce Wayne can even blink. If people are being HONEST.
@@MGmirkin No the question in not irrelevant. The reason that question is posed, is because if Master Roshi > DC marital artists, then all of the masters above Master Roshi scale that much higher in technique. C'mon bro bro.
@@MGmirkin did you even read the prompt
Bruh, watch the video, bruce blows goku out of the water.
Batman actually probably knows more martial arts than goku, but he has shown on multiple occasions he can learn techniques from watching them(not master them but has the physical understanding to emulate them)
Ong bro imo I think batman is more skilled in hand to hand combat he know almost all of the martial arts in the world
@@Jose07-_213 he knows all the arts of fighting in the world he took time off to go learn them
@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 ong
I honestly think UI counts as a power-up/power in this case, just because UI is used like a transformation later on in the manga. That and UI just gives Goku an INSANELY unfair advantage
Fax best part is it’s a technique that anyone can learn in the Z verse
In the manga, it’s treated as both. UI the technique can be used in any form, but UI the transformation is the last resort form. Just one that was established in the manga, the next two fights were literally miles stronger than Goku, so it wasn’t represented enough as a technique
Only the silver-haired version is a transformation.
3:40 Had my full attention til you started playing that nostalgic banger .
I'd like to see a matchup like this between Garou from OPM and whoever in fiction might actually beat him in terms of skill.
There are many
If equal stats In Close Combat, Garou.
But Goku has Kaio-Ken so he can always do KKx20 and win, but this Beats the point of equal stats.
depends, if it's a fresh garou, he'll probably lose very fast, but if it's a worn out garou whos lost a lot of times before, he's rlly dangerous
@@orlandoactab3034 Garou is pretty dangerous even in his human form due to the whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist.
Seth put some respect on every character mentioned in this video.
Also with the mention of Wonder Woman, could we get some mentions for her power scaling? I feel like she goes a bit underrated considering some of her feats.
Well which Wonder Woman specifically, cause DCEU WW for example is very sub-planetary while Infinite Frontier Wonder Woman on the other hand literally walks over the Omniverse(includes everything DC ever published in it's historty) like it's a street crossing XD? But a general rule of thumb for normal comic versions is that Wonder Woman is somewhere around a serious Supes, he is often physically stronger, has a more rounded inherent power-set and can fly faster, while she is often more skilled, more versatile due to her gear(her lasso alone has already countless of hax abilities at it's best) and can fight or at least react faster.
My man really managed to get a Rosetta Stone sponsor?! This was in my elementary ciriclulum.😅
Goku used ultra instinct in his normal forms in the granolah arc. So while he can't use his white haired form or omen, he can use those UI principles in base now.
NO CHI! Watch the video.
@@youareacoward8459 But... Isn't ultra instinct just a technique? Just a very very advanced form?
@@firecrumby2387 No, Ultra Instinct can only be achived with God-ki.
@@youareacoward8459 read the manga again, Ultra Instinct is a technique AND a form. You can use Ultra Instinct the technique without using "chi"/ki because it uses martial art principles
@@youareacoward8459 That's not even remotely true as Roshi can begin to tap into UI without God-ki. Ki isn't required for UI, its just a state of being.
Oh my god Seth said Toriko’s name
Goku probably copies his fighting styles until he has no more lol
At the end of the day you can’t make both of them human. Goku is an Alien and Batman isn’t. This wouldn’t be important if Saiyans were equal to humans, but they aren’t. Planet Vegeta’s gravity is 10 times that of earth. Science literally tells you that people who live on a planet with a more intense gravity would naturally evolve to have stronger bones, muscle fibers, and overall strength to compensate. It’s the same argument to why we have weight classes except let’s say they are the same weight(hypothetically speaking) but the point is goku’s muscle fibers would be so crazy in an MMA match with no “powers” that there’s no way Batman outpowers him. Outclassing I can see that point. But then that brings the argument how is he gonna outclass a guy who has such a high bone density that you literally kicking him can break your leg. And this isn’t something that’s make believe it happened to Anderson Silva verses someone with the same weight and density, you’re better off leg kicking a bus repeatedly. And what submission is gonna allow you to close off his reinforced windpipe. 💀
Ultra instinct is actually based off a real life state of mind called "Mushin"
Batman has too much plot armor, theres no way a human can be that good at fighting. Thats ridiculous. Before batman even has a chance to throw a punch at someone like darkseid, darkseid could run around the planet multiple times and still kill batman. You could say batman would win this fight but its only because hes poorly written
Need to see a Jin Mori vs Batman video now
Batman is skilled to the level you could call it parody. In matches like these he pretty much will always win matches like this.
No he wouldn't. He needs gadgets to win. Batman may know martial arts but he doesn't train as much as goku. He doesn't train with elite coaches and training partners like goku. All goku does is train and fight. Batman doesn't and because he's worried about his identity he can't train with the best fighters. Goku has won world and universal tournaments for fighing. Batman hasn't
Batman literally trains every day just has to save the world from super villains all the time but Goku doesn’t like once a year
@@thirtythree504 Cap, yes he does he beat Karate Kid and all his martial arts from across the galaxy and far future and can match a God with knowledge from the beginning of time
@ahmod Howard you wildn my guy
Lmao i have to disagree with that. Batman isn't even the best martial artist in his own universe, examples like Lady Shiva could beat him, and that's only within his own universe
Technically goku can use UI in base, since it is originally a technique
Batman seems to have a form of Ultra instinct with ability to unconsciously move and react to enemy attacks so, yeah I'd say that's far.
The thing about ultra instinct is that goku can harden his body. I dont know if it would be allowed in a martial arts only battle but in his battle with moro, moro tried attacking goku but broke his own arm.
@@zar5101 Some people train for long periods of time to harden their hands, so it isn't that crazy, after all.. goku's an alien
@@Omega-AlexGt I'm not saying that it's crazy but he hardened his body as a way to lessen damage. Moro broke his arm from just punching goku. In a battle with no powers that's actually a crazy feat. The body hardening is exclusive to UI meaning it would be allowed.
i dont think batman would out will goku if it came down to them stalemating like goku is just never gonna stop.
Man I miss the old tournaments. Nowadays the Z-Fighters just purposefully lose to that clown Mr. Satan
I would actually love to see Owl Man in his suit vs Goku. That’s actually on par basic strength wise since he could handle short bouts with power houses.
You also gotta take into account Saiyan biology. Even without Ki control, they are built to be fighting machines. It's not stated enough that a Saiyan's skin is woven like Kevlar.
In original dragon ball, Goku takes an axe to the head and it shatters before his skin does. He didn't see it coming, nor was he using Ki to protect himself. This was purely a biological feat.
Same thing could be said about small ammunition. Goku, without provoking his Ki, was able to take a shot from a sub machine gun, and all it did was leave a small scratch. They have stronger muscles, they don't need performance enhancing drugs to bulk up, they have more stamina, etc. I see Goku winning this 7/10 times.
Yea I was gonna point out the same thing like why do they have to make Goku to human level why not just his basic biology as a Saiyan without ki and without transformations, he's shown so much of it in the entire series but in super they nearly removed it which is just bad story writing 🤦 but i think without any powers Goku still takes the win not just with his biology but also in terms of skill too.
You missed the whole point of the video, Seth said that they have equal stats and can’t use anything but Martial Arts.
Saiyans don't exist.
and he lifts tons and tons of weight also he can train at hundreds of times of earths gravity easily
@@Dexuz and Batman too doesn't exist 😑
Ultra Instinct is not the "art of throwing hands". It's based on Flow State. Moving without thinking. Bruce Lee often spoke of it. UI Sign/Omen was his body avoiding damage on its own, whereas he had to think about attacking. MUI is when he stopped thinking all together and simply moved. Whis talks about it numerous times. Not sure how you skipped that.
Bro he knows that. Everyone knows ui is instinctive movement and even with it batman puts goku in the trash
@@kawakiuzumaki5934 especially considering, as Seth pointed out in the video, Batman can also enter a flow state. Being able to use Ultra Instinct in this fight wouldn't give Goku an advantage, it would just make him equal to Batman.
The match we've all been waiting for!
So this is completely off the topic but any thoughts on Accelerator vs Saitama? I thought my man Saitama had some human limits like not being able to breathe in space but after that Saitama vs Garou bit I don't know if my mans Accelerator's reflection can hold up to them punches my G.
its pretty commonly agreed on Accelerator stomps.
@@mrpods2 him vs that kakashi lookalike would be interesting until speed comes into play
@@MegaMachiOnline not really. In the LNs Accelerator can just use long range vector manip, its never stated to need to travel.
People forget just how good of a martial artist Goku really is. Because he's so strong, people think his martial arts are second important. They're not. Ultra Instinct is the result of perfect martial arts skill.
"ultra instinct is the result of perfect martial arts" what in the actual fuck are u talking abt LOOOOOOOOOL holy
@@adsfddsdfsfsdsasofsavgdhua4879 dude, you're the one who don't know what you're talking about. Ultra instinct IS the result of perfect martial arts, it's not just a power up like super saiyan. It's where you're so good at fighting that the body instinctively moves in the perfect way for you. You clearly didn't read the manga where Roshi actually achieved it for a short time and dodged Jirens attacks. If you dont believe me, look it up yourself.
@@adsfddsdfsfsdsasofsavgdhua4879 yeah
