Re: Kid Buu's power?

When one form of an enemy is described as "his strength is too much, he'll kill us for sure," and then his subsequent form is described as "yeah, we can take him" and "I can handle him if I use full power," then that means he got weaker . Like always you are gonna igno...

Re: Kid Buu's power?

It's a troubling debate because on one hand you have various comments, many of them from supplementary sources it looks like, claiming that Kid Buu is most powerful incarnation of Buu. On the other hand, we've had various quotations inside the manga attesting to Gohan being his father's superior wh...

Re: Kid Buu's power?

People have convinced themselves that Kid Boo for some made up headcanon is weaker than Super boo even though the story itself says otherwise. It's pointless telling DB "experts" anything, this thread is full of hypocrisy, bias and double standards. The moment someone starts speaking about...

Shouldn't Trunks' 2nd trip in main timeline after 3 years to help Z fighters fight androids create another alternate TL

Trunks first trip resulted in him killing Freeza in place of Goku and changing history, then he came back to same timeline 3 years later to help them fight androids so shouldn't that have created another alternative timeline due to second visit in the same timeline?

Does Dragon Ball Time Machine make no sense for tangential motion instead of Linear motion?

This isn't about Timelines but movement of Time Machine since it's supposed to have a linear movement in time yet Trunks who was killed by Cell in his second trip into past doesn't go to into his actual past but the altered one where he took some solution to beat androids perhaps the detonator befor...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

It doesn't matter if the earrings create a powerful being. The power of uniting the bodies and keeping them united comes from them, so it's against them that Shenlong is fighting against when it spearates the individual, not against the individual formed by them. The androids aren't fully androids ...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

In one case, the DBs are clashing against the Potaras, the artifact, whereas in the other one they are clashing against the androids. Nuff said. This is wrong, in one case they aren't clashing with Potara but fused being created by Potara which is known for fusing beings permanently while other is ...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

Removing their bomb doesn't change the essence of the androids. The bomb is just something extra added to them, while they being robots is something already intrinsic to them. The Potaras hold power in a sense that it powers up the fusees beyond belief, but that's still different from a simple bein...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

That makes no sense especially when he was easily able to remove her bomb which would require a scientist of Gero's level considering how much trouble Brief had in understanding android 16's anatomy and remove his bomb, it proves that if the power doesn't surpass his he can revert their body to old...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

The fact of the matter is that Shenron can defuse merged beings and it is not beyond his power to do so no matter how much one might believe it qualifies as being that. At no point have any of the Dragons been stated or implied to be unable to affect the act of fusion itself, regardless of how powe...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

C-17 and C-18 most likely didn't WANT to turn back to normal humans. See how he had no issues removing the bombs they quite obviously didn't want. Likewise, he couldn't teleport Goku only because Goku REFUSED, not just because he was stronger. Hell, if being stronger than the dragon was enough to m...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

The dragon can't do stuff to stronger people *without* their consent, like teleporting Goku home from Yardrat. Obviously the implication which you shouldn't need spelled out is that the dragon can do stuff to stronger people *with* their consent, (as long as it's not outside his understanding like ...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

Again, it was a short fight in manga, there's no implication that it was 1 hour long. Also, he defused only after taking out barrier which means time had no role in it. Also, old Kaioshin being unreliable isn't right reason too. He said he has been watching it for generations and even told Goku to ...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

Not really, he was right. Goku and Vegeta defused due to Boo's body reacting to Potara. Nope. In DBZ it was just a hypothesis of Goku, and STILL it invalided Old Kai's claim of eternal merging. Super later did explain it was the time-limit on Potara merging for Mortals. Think about it, why was Meta...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

Not true. He has been watching over generations for millions of years and he even told Goku to fuse without turning ssj since it can put strain on body and decrease his lifespan. It means he knows about what happens to mortals. The rule about not granting wishes surpassing the creator still is same...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

The thing is Potara is eternal and according to Old Kaioshin doesn't have weaknesses and that's why no one can return back. Old Kaiohshin is also utterly unreliable as knowledge source. Most likely it's just a matter of the being affected wanting\letting it happen. And\or Polunga having less limita...

Again, that "will" part is wrong and added by viz. In Japanese version he says "I cannot do that. The power of androids surpass mine. For this reason I can't revert them to their original self" Restoring Goku's energy, making one immortal or young doesn't break their body or mod...

Re: Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

Didn't Kibito and Shin desire to revert back to their separate states? It wouldn't surprise me Porunga somehow acknowledged their sentiment and was allowed to defuse them. For me, a better question along these lines would be how Porunga was able to teleport Vegeta from Namek to Earth when he couldn...

Porunga shouldn't have been able to defuse Kibito-Kaioshin into 2

I think Porunga defusing Kibito-Kaioshin back to how they were originally is a plothole. As we know, Dragons can't grant wish surpassing their creators. In Cell arc, after the Cell games, when Kuririn asked Shen long to revert Android 18 and 17 back to humans, he said he can't due to their power sur...
