Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?
Impossible to say. In the Manga he only appears for a couple of pages and immediately transforms. The only thing that can conclusively be said on the matter is that he's not strong enough by his own estimate to beat Boohan without SS.

Re: Official On-Going Dragon Ball Super Movie #2 Thread: "Super Hero"
Saw the movie again. Toriyama was messing with the audience in regards to Gohan. The movie hammered in Gohan's rustiness: get's punched, doesn't recognize Piccolo, complains about weighted clothing, etc. This was bait. Piccolo is representative of the public, who wants Gohan to thrive and sees his ...

Re: Super's growth in power was lackluster
The power growth up to the ToP was fine. Goku shot past the Hakaishin but not in a permanent way that left him room to grow. The following material, particularly the Manga, keeping him stuck nebulously under Beerus despite him completing and advancing UI is completely ridiculous.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
People actually thought this chapter proved Beerus > the rest? He clearly CAN'T finish Moro in a heartbeat, if that were the case he'd have done it before going to see the GP. The previous chapter was already pretty clear about how UI and Moro compare to Broly, Jiren, Zamasu There's a reason why we...

Re: Read this Gohan arc take on reddit. Whats your take on this?
but all the moments OP described where gohan did pretty well were "meaningless death matches", it's only against cell that he suddenly turns into a vegan hippy pacifist until a robot he never met tells him "hey gohan i like birds" and then dies, triggering gohan to go into schoo...

Re: Super or GT poll
Toriyama bullshit his way through 90% of the DB with no plan. There are 2 things worth taking into account. 1- Toriyama did plan things out, such as planning Namek while writing the 23rd Tenkaichi arc, or going into the Buu arc knowing it would be the final one. 2- Although he didn't plan out as mu...

Re: Super or GT poll
Toriyama bullshit his way through 90% of the DB with no plan. Which is fine when he's the guy doing the writing and art himself on a consistent basis. It's not a very desirable quality for the kind of role he had on Super where he went Stan Lee.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Beerus was never weaker than him. Fans just assumed that, using their own headcanon. That’s all. Nowhere has it ever been officially stated that MUI Goku surpasses Beerus.. Someone didn't watch 110 then. I did.. Couldn’t find it.. Perhaps you need to watch it again. https://i.imgur.com/SGVz0Cs.jpg ...

If you see the spoilers of chapter #66, you will figure out that there are some characters that feel even more overpowered. Did they really retcon Beerus > UI? Beerus was never weaker than him.

Re: To those who think Goku doesn’t care about Chi Chi, why didn’t he offer her to the old Kaioshin?
Goku obviously cares, though the second time he tries to make the deal he does add that Chi-Chi will kill him if he does that to her.

Re: Super Saiyan Rosé - The Anime's interpretation (Compared to the Manga's)
Black is a God occupying Goku's body, so, if he went Super Saiyan he'd naturally use God ki resulting in an altered SS. This is in line with SSGSS being just SS with a different ki source/power running through it.

Re: When should the rematch Goku vs Beerus take place?
Beerus has already been Roshi'd so there's no need for a rematch.

Re: Should fans write for official products ?
Fans getting to officially write a product is is just like anything, it can be good, bad or anything in-between. Dragon Ball is pretty consistently shit at it save a few jokes from the Yamcha manga.

Re: Dragon Ball Lore
No one was talking about the appeal of the character, we're saying that a backstory for the important characters is essential for the story itself in general (this is storytelling 101). Nobody here ever said that a detailed backstory is needed for a character to liked. And yet Dragon Ball breaks th...

Re: Dragon Ball Lore
It negates the point that a backstory is essential. What is far more essential is what the character wants and what they are willing to do to get it. Precisely. Goku worked as a protagonist with a single sentence of backstory total for six arcs which amounts to nearly half of the original run conte...

Jiren is the only one who can fight (and beat) them unless Goku gets UI out again. All the rest? Useless.
