Kanzenshuu

I actually like Frieza's 1st, 2nd & Mecha Form, Cell's Perfect/SPC & Majin's Bootenks, Boohan & Kid forms It takes real talent to be able to pull-off convincing & unique final form villain. In that case, you may say DBZ villains were class apart Have watched some wannabe final form c...

Rip Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Pan, Uub

Goku was indirectly responsible for those characters attaining/realizing their true strengths

Toriyama His storytelling style, characters, fights, humor is what made DragonBall popular. They connected with the fans. TOEI staffs like Sato, Yammamuro, Shida, Mihayara, Shimanuki, Hizada etc were responsible as well. Its as if all of em poured their heart & soul into DragonBall that it turne...

Maybe the Earthlings' bodies just were naturally incapable of handling the strain of something like Kaio-ken. Valid point. Cuz Saiyans home-world Planet Vegeta had 10G similar to how Kaio's planet was. So it would facilitate Goku's growth him bein Saiyan Doubt if human bodies would or could handle ...

And as for your argument Super Saiyan 3 does exist retroactively. Again, it doesn't matter if the author didn't have that shit in mind at the time of writing. The new information reframes the past scenes. What we thought of the scene originally means jack shit when we find out somebod was hiding so...

The simplest answer is that Tenshinhan and co just aren't good enough. These attacks were supposed to be nigh-impossible to master, and Goku is a prodigy. Krillin managed to harness Spirit Bomb (weakened though it maybe) & hurl it to Veggie in Saiyan Saga with lil to no training Cell, Black &am...

I think a better question is: Why hasn't King Kai taught the Kaioken or Spirit Bomb to anyone else? Goku didn't teach anyone until Uub. I'm sure he teaches him all his abilities though. Kaoi didnt have time possibly. Or stakes were low (since Frieza, strongest by that time was already defeated) so ...

He taught none cuz each fighters got their trademark signature moves. So its unnecesary to teach them any of his Not out of selfish reasons I assume. Likely cuz 1. Goku nver had the time (eithrr dead, train in space, Yadrat, out of commision with virus, train in HTC, again dead for 7 years like srsl...

But SSJ3 wasn't even a thing yet. Toriyama hadn't come up with that. Um yeah, that's meta stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the story. Looking at the story as it is, Goku had Super Saiyan 3 in his back pocket and abstained from it instead - Toriyama not having come up with it yet is irre...

@ dva_raza Yo, I'm Goku fan myself. Even I felt Toriyama purposely brought Goku into the main story (1 day pass) in order for him to play major role. And yes, he did most work compared to any other chrcter. All he wanted was to have fun @ TB. Whatever Gohan & Vegeta did were trivial to Goku's. H...

Goku. He's got most varied skills, technique (Vegeta no waza da) & power-ups

Buu was released because Goku took damage. That's how it works, the majin have to deal damage to the heroes, (not the other way around) Goku had SS3 in his backpocket, it would've made impossible for Geets to touch Goku. Again, Goku was the one that screwed up, here. All in all, Goku had at least t...

One thing that always struck me about Dragon Ball is how light-hearted and upbeat it is. Tragic or sad moments are either not treated with the seriousness they could be treated with, or the series' fast pacing immediately moves on from them not letting the audience dwell on what just happened. Plen...

It only works because it's the final arc. If the manga had continued, they would have needed to write Piccolo out most likely. Or at least keep him out of the main action. That's for nother debate. A smart author knows how & when to involve a key charcter. Piccolo was out for most part of Namek...

I like how you categorize DB & Z while in fact both share similar aspects. DB had hyper-kinetic action scenes in 22nd & 23rd TB & DBZ also had adventurous journey with Namek/Frieza & early/later parts of Android/Majin Arc to some extent. Well, EoZ was paving way to next big adventure...

Finally, came across 2 ppl sharing similar thoughts on Piccolo-san ☺️ From what I’m seeing here we are 5. :lol: I think this is the best use of Piccolo in the current state of the story. I wouldn’t bring him to fight in major fights directly anymore, only for mentorship or comedy tone. But fighting...

I feel like I'm repeating myself here, but.... Using Piccolo for comedy, and as the straight man in a comedy duo to boot. Which I'd say was the most inspired use of him in a while. Agreed. Big Piccolo fan and I never had a problem with him in the Boo arc. If anything, that part of the arc is one of...

Probably the change in staff, DBZ had Yūji Ikeda & Ken Tokushige in charge of art design and GT had Tadanao Tsuji & Ryūji Yoshīke. Did Toriyama color his early GT sketches himself? They seem to have the same color scheme as the show so maybe Toei was just following his designs. If it was AT...

That shot has got more to do with the animator/storyboader. Pretty sure tokunag's score did nothin to do with that scene, as its "mixed" One hand you have 7 deadly villains (boss you cud say) giving all mysterious & evil vibe. And yet the score gives a sense of majesty & beauty. Li...
