Showa Godzilla vs Goku

No it doesn't I countered this point already
No, I don’t believe you have
again, cell is aware that he can regen from it anyways
and also, there is still no good proof that he was defending himself, especially considering everything from the fact that most of the people there thought it was a trick and the fact that Cell visibly did nothing at all to respond in any way

Cell knows that if he's hit by a powerful enough attack he will die, and Goku was capable of doing that. Cell was not suppressed at all, he was expecting the attack to come from above but was shocked because he didn't think goku would actually destroy earth. But he was still expecting a kamehameha so he was in fact not suppressed at all, another proof is that a weaker vegeta's charged attack almost killed a non off guard cell. the reason why cell did nothing to respond is because he couldn't, he could only react to it but the beam was too fast to do anything.

If he expected him to shoot the laser then why was he surprised at the instant transmission
the answer is simple, he didn’t expect goku to actually shoot it in the first place, otherwise there is no way to justify that he was surprised both by him charging the blast AND the instant transmission.
Also the speed of the beam is irrelevant when Cell had visibly already saw goku had teleported and was looking straight at him while he did it. It would have been an easy aim dodge had he been prepared, but everything about the scene is implying that goku was using his tactic to surprise cell when his guard was down so that it would be easier to blow him up like that. This isn’t the first time something similar happened either, Cell had completely not expected the power of vegeta’s final flash and ended up being blown apart by him. It’s just cell’s personality, he just thinks he can tank hits as much as he wants to, and when he gets caught off guard he takes more damage than he expects.

Because goku looked like he was about to shoot it up there but he didn't and planed ahead, Cell was ready for Goku to shoot the attack, he just didn't expect the instant transmission. But just because he didn't expect it, doesn't mean he was suppressed, that's stupid, he's in the middle of a fight and is looking at a dude who is preparing to launch a world ending beam at him.
Yeah you can look at a dude who is about to punch you and react to him, but that doesn't mean you'll dodge the punch, the moment cell saw Goku and reacted, goku had already launched the attack, cell couldn't do anything about it only react. Now you're just downplaying, cell stomped on vegeta casually, and cell knew that vegeta couldn't beat him so he let him shoot his strongest attack and said he wouldn't dodge, now you'd be straight up lying if you said cell was suppressed here because he was off guard, you're trying to downplay vegeta's attack when in reality vegeta's attack is the one that scales to cell. Listen you can be caught off guard in dragon ball, and have your durability decrease and become vulnerable, but that doesn't mean getting caught off guard automatically means you're suppressed that's wrong, you can be surprised by something but still not be supressed, just watch piccolo jr. vs krillin.

This argument would be good if it were true, but
The attack was still charging when goku used instant transmission
 
Also, if the attack took Cell by surprise
then imagine what it will do to Godzilla who can't even sense ki,or energy, or intents, also goku can hide his own ki signature, plus goku's hilarious martial arts skill, plus after image is something Godzilla doesn't have an answer for

I already explained why that doesn’t apply to Godzilla unless there is proof of it
 
It wasn't charging, it was cinematic timing, cell barely reacted and was already shot, simple logic debunks this, why would goku teleport if the charging hadn't already finished lmao?
So cell looks at goku before he shoots the kamehameha, but you just decide that he already shot him at that moment? Even though that’s visibly untrue?

I already told you that he could only react to it, but by the time Cell tried to do anything, he would have already been hit.
 
I already explained why that doesn’t apply to Godzilla unless there is proof of it
Why wouldn't it be applied to Godzilla? Especially if he literally can't sense were goku is? Goku just simply IT kamehameha Godzilla. He wouldn't even have the time to react or do anything
 
I already told you that he could only react to it, but by the time Cell tried to do anything, he would have already been hit.
The sequence was this
goku aims the kamehameha down at the earth, threatening to destroy it
everyone including cell were confused why would even goku try to even think about it
goku takes advantage of this confusion, charges the kamehameha to the maximum, waits for the final moment were the kamehameha was fully charged
IT infront of cell, not even giving him any time to react which, the moment he used IT he fired the kamehameha , effectively destroying af of cell's body
 
“Anything” includes defending himself then
he simply didn’t have his guard up, and got blown up for it
that’s what happened
Or or
goku IT and fired the kamehameha the moment he appeared, thus not even giving cell any time to react. The same cell that was slightly faster than goku with huge martial arts skill and sensing options, something Godzilla doesn't have

Dragon ball is a verse where their high durability isn’t passive, and they actually have to actively defend themselves and power up to have it, there are plenty of examples of this
in the vast majority of other verses, durability is indeed passive, so that’s why it wouldn’t be nearly as effective on Godzilla as it was cell
 
“Anything” includes defending himself then
he simply didn’t have his guard up, and got blown up for it

No his durability is already above Goku's, yet he was blown up. Saying his guard wasn't up and therefore he is suppressed is wrong since he can still be caught off guard without being suppressed, you're basically implying that Cell was so suppressed that anyone down there could blink him if they wanted. Or you're implying that DB characters have to be constantly defending themselves 24/7 for them to have the durability they scale to which is ridiculous.

Ok let’s say you’re right
he didn’t react, oh, and then because of that he doesn’t protect himself
I think this helps prove my point

But Godzilla has less dura than goku? Plus goku can hit people above his weight class with charged kamehameha, plus this "Low off gaurd" happened thrice, one is a filler, the other two were goku wasn't even in battle mod, and ths other goku was getting rusty. Plus cell doesn't have this weakness, only goku. And before you say "Well he is part goku" and he is also part other people that doesn't have this weakness. The kamehameha makes goku stronger by focusing his ki on a specific point, the middle point between his palms, thus increasing his overall stats, which makes him go toe to toe against people with higher dura and ap as his, Something Godzilla isn't

It’s not ridiculous, it’s proven.

There are probably more examples of this, but I assume this is enough to convince you?

Or or even a better one
goku aas too fast for someone faster than him [aka not Godzilla] and worked against someone with higher dura because that's the point of the kamehameha [Aka Godzilla is getting blasted]
So Goku managed to outpace someone faster than him and blow half of their body, the same person who has higher dura than goku. And it won't work again- Godzilla , someone that's equal to goku's speed, lacks the martial art skills, lacks the necessary senses to locate goku, someone with less dura and ap than goku...because?

Did you just use filler, and two instances of not being battle mod, and using one character to generalize a whole verse....?

Ok but, kamehameha should already be taken into account in the AP, given that it’s basically his main move
so this doesn’t actually change anything

1. We’re using anime goku
2. Not being in battle mode aka he was simply caught off guard and not defending himself, which is literally you saying the point I’m making in a fancy way
3. Ok, I’m just gonna go search for some other examples then if you insist on denying it (even though I’m pretty sure when goku blocks trunks swinging his sword it mentions something about using ki to increase durability in his hand, and ki is not something limited to goku of course)

It does, kamehameha makes him able to harm/obliterate foes that are stronger than him, he can amp himself while charging and doing the kamehameha
 
It’s not ridiculous, it’s proven.

The first two examples Goku was manually extremely suppressed. The lazer example was plot induced stupidity since Goku had no reason to drop his guard but that doesn't apply to every character it only happens when Goku drops his guard and suppresses himself, but his natural durability is when he's at his strongest so cell then would be large star level.

1. “Lacks senses” he has enhanced senses, and there’s no reason he couldn’t just increase his senses, he just hasn’t fought an enemy where that would be necessary
2. I’m pretty sure Godzilla does know how to fight thanks to zone fighter but that’s not really a big issue considering Goku isn’t trained in fighting kaiju, and Godzilla isn’t trained in fighting short people
3. “Outpace someone faster than him” is a completely contradictory statement, and you may need to rethink that one just a little
4. He has regen to compensate for durability, and reactive evolution and accelerated development and energy absorption to compensate for both

But he wasn't in the middle of battle? Why would he be in battle mod if there...isn't any battle going on?
And yes, people with ki can increase their dura, but lowering their dura is goku [And maybe vegeta's trait] thing since he likes to taste out the opponents that are significantly weaker than him.
And since we are using anime android saga then:
1- Goku caught off guard when he was literally sleeping. How is he supposed to be gaurd up when he isn't even awake? Also this trait of lowering your dura can only happen after you master ki control, which enables you to go stronger or weaker . Goku caught of gaurd because he was sleeping. And the second one was after he finished off fightimg freiza, 20 years later [in our real time], the third time was goku literally saying "i am getting rusty" . Meaning he was weak, not because he was gaurd down
actually show me one instance of goku or cell dropping their guard mid battle for no reason
 
The first two examples Goku was manually extremely suppressed. The lazer example was plot induced stupidity since Goku had no reason to drop his guard but that doesn't apply to every character it only happens when Goku drops his guard and suppresses himself, but his natural durability is when he's at his strongest so cell then would be large star level.
Sleeping is pretty different from being suppressed, I think you understand why that is
Ok, if it was plot induced stupidity then he shouldn’t have dropped his guard, but the fact that it would have caused that anyways means that it’s still a thing that can happen
His “natural durability” does not scale at all to his normal durability, and yes we assume during vs battles that he would have his higher durability because he’s fighting, but we are talking about cell, who was visibly not powered up, visibly surprised, and there are many reactions that support that he didn’t expect it
what more could you want
 
1. “Lacks senses” he has enhanced senses, and there’s no reason he couldn’t just increase his senses, he just hasn’t fought an enemy where that would be necessary
2. I’m pretty sure Godzilla does know how to fight thanks to zone fighter but that’s not really a big issue considering Goku isn’t trained in fighting kaiju, and Godzilla isn’t trained in fighting short people
3. “Outpace someone faster than him” is a completely contradictory statement, and you may need to rethink that one just a little
4. He has regen to compensate for durability, and reactive evolution and accelerated development and energy absorption to compensate for both
1- yeah, does he have senses were he can sense your emotional state, difference in power levels, pinpoint your location with you energy signature or by using the air current? Because goku uses after images on people that are faster than him [Cell and frieza], people that have senses like him or even better [Piccolo and cell], and people that are him...but better in every way [Cell]. Tell me how can Godzilla answer the after image
2- there is a difference between knowing how to fight and being good at it. Goku is the person with skill alone can go toe to toe with people that are faster, stronger and more skilled than him, create martial arts techniques on the fly to counter other techniques, finds flaws in your techniques with just seeing them once, copying your technique with seeing them once, create techniques on the fly....goku's skill outclasses Godzilla's by a margin, also goku fought giants three times [Ozaru vegeta, Hirudegarn, and that giant dudd in T.O.P]. So yes in skill, goku would just absorb make fun of Godzilla.
3- Yes, goku outpaces people that are faster than him by using the after image technique. Is there a proper?
4- Goku fought and stalemated people with regen to the point they can regenerate their whole arms, legs, huge part of their bodies and even their entire body, goku can just use kamehameha to engulfe Godzilla and obliterate him, he doesn't have an answer for that. Goku fought someone that can absorb energy was doing just fine, minus the heart attack. Also what exactly can his recative evolution even do?
 
But he wasn't in the middle of battle? Why would he be in battle mod if there...isn't any battle going on?

You’re missing the point
you are agreeing with the fact that lowering guard makes dragon ball durability go to shit
you’re agreeing with the fact that if cell HAD lowered his guard then Goku’s kamehameha would have had a much greater advantage at destroying him
and then all that’s left is knowing that I already have explained why cell was definitely not defending himself from the blast fully, so boom
there’s the proof

what more could you want
Yeah he was surprised, but why he would he let his guard down in the middle of the fight, it's not even noted in their profile, it's literally just kamehameha being a good technique were he can obliterate people with higher Dura, and his After image can work against people that are equal/faster than him

Yes, lowering your guard lowers your dura. Unlike for cell and frieza who have naturally high dura and can only go up and not down unless they actively create a form were their dura is weaker.
prove that cell himself was lowering his dura, he was caught of guard, but he didn't lower it for multitude of reasons: he already has naturally high dura, he doesn't have any reason to lower his guard up, and the kamehameha was strong enough to obliterate him
 
1- yeah, does he have senses were he can sense your emotional state, difference in power levels, pinpoint your location with you energy signature or by using the air current?

Goku fought someone that can absorb energy was doing just fine, minus the heart attack. Also what exactly can his recative evolution even do?
Goku fighting an oozaru does not mean he can utilize years of martial arts against humans for fighting a giant, so that’s not relevant
also if he is using a speed based technique on people faster than him and it’s working, the faster person is either suppressed or is not actually faster. You can’t just say that goku is faster than people who are faster than him, therefore goku is faster if speed is equalized, that’s not how it works.
 
Yes, lowering your guard lowers your dura. Unlike for cell and frieza who have naturally high dura and can only go up and not down unless they actively create a form were their dura is weaker.
prove that cell himself was lowering his dura, he was caught of guard, but he didn't lower it for multitude of reasons: he already has naturally high dura, he doesn't have any reason to lower his guard up, and the kamehameha was strong enough to obliterate him
On the contrary, I believe it’s your responsibility to show how high his natural durability scales to his durability with ki
you are also saying that being caught off guard and lowering dura are different things, even though you have already agreed that the first happening means the other happens too

Not just sleeping, during that whole period, goku was extremely casual and suppressed.
It can happen but only under specific circumstances, cell was not under those specific circumstances being surprised or caught off guard doesn't automatically mean you're suppressed. They only get suppressed when they manually do it and they do it when they go off guard, but being caught off guard won't always mean they're suppressed. And you seem to be ignoring how cell wasn't suppressed or off guard against vegeta yet vegeta's attack still almost completely vaporized cell had he not dodged it.

Final flash is a different technique, and it was charged for an insane amount of time
Vegeta is a different character
That was a different scene
and he still visibly had not powered up to take the attack, and had completely underestimated the power of the attack
And even ignoring all that, there’s nothing stopping it from being an anti feat for perfect cell either
So try not to bring up Vegeta’s thing from now on
 
Also I’m not just saying he was suppressed intentionally, but he was definitely not powering up. That always makes a big difference.

This is the chapter were the final flash happens, Vegeta only charged it for 3 pages, not that long at all, it's just that the anime made it longer. This vegeta is weaker and the final flash is comparable to the kamehameha's power. Cell was at the same level of power he was at vs Goku, since korin and the others knew exactly how powerful he was but were surprised by his full power meaning that he was using the same level of power until fighting SSJ2 Gohan. And him having underestimated vegeta's attack doesn't downplay cell, instead it buffs the final flash. This is not the only time something like this happens, there are countless examples of comparable characters one shotting each other with charged attacks in fact, here's a perfect one, SSJ2 Gohan at 50% power was barely holding cell off, but his charged kamehameha one shot super perfect cell who's comparable to said 50% gohan proving for fact that this is consistent, and that Goku's example is viable. You still cannot actually prove cell was suppressed against Goku so Goku would be able to one shot Godzilla.
