Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

It was heavily implied though... We have Goten and Trunks in a costume in their normal states with Trunks fending off 18 until she kicked into their blind spot and threw them off... With then Trunks getting up after getting slammed like nothing and the Daizenshuu stating they showed strength on par ...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

The Lighthouse is siiick (that movie that's kinda creepy, and at the end you get like wtf was this all?)... Like The Witch (same director) this one lived up to what I was expecting, The Northman, not so much. If you haven't watched yet, Little Women is worth watching too, it stars Saoirse Ronan and ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

Why is Piccolo's power up so lazy? I mean, wishing for the DBs to get a potential unlock is a so lazy and something they could, were it possible, have done so long ago. The RoSaT coming outta nowhere already felt a little... Ehh... But at least they detailed the space there, gave a context, made the...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

Well, even if it's argued the reason Toriyama had Gohan losing so much power was to have a climatic ending, that's still resorting to out of universe reasoning and assuming what Toriyama intended. Maybe he shaped it that way to explore more the dynamics between Goku and Gohan and a collaborative las...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

Yeah, Kuririn fighting and not 18 doesn't make sense. In the Boo saga it was kinda understandable because 18 wanted to fight in the tournament for the money and seeing all the stronger-than-her going away would be the perfect chance to get the #1 and the money. But outside of it, in both movies, Kur...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

You'll have to ask Toriyama that, not me. Because he said he re-read the original manga either prior to or during his contribution to Battle of Gods, and then he proceeded to either write the "Freeza > Base Goku" line himself or simply allowed it to remain if it came from Watanabe. So if ...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

China is a tricky and fickle market to get into, at least movie wise. There are a limited number of "slots" for foreign movies and you really have to play by the rules in order to get your movies released. That being said, a lot of profit can be made over there. I believe DB is fairly big...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

In what chapter did we get to read the list of Beerus' limited techniques explaining that he CANNOT read power levels through a certain mean? I skipped that one, for sure. If a 24 yo. Goku can touch your head and see how your week went in good detail, then the ancient, strongest and highest authori...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

It's not like beyond the BoG's line, there's any more glarring evidence for Freeza > base Saiyans, quite the contrary... And even that line is questionable, because: • Beerus so far cannot and does not have the ability to say how strong someone is with accuracy just by looking or poking a person. •...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

It's a disservice and has riled up a debate that was once dead. Now THAT'S wishful thinking. Plenty of people already proposed or were at least fine with the notion that the Boo-era base Saiyans weren't quite on Freeza's level yet, and it was no less reasonable than the opposite idea. The fairly di...

Re: Inclusivity towards women in Dragon Ball?

China shoot its own foot here. Hollywood absolutely pandered to the chinese market in the 2010s with either some exclusive scenes set in China or having content that was easy to edit-out. In 'return' China vastly limited the number of foreign productions released in the 2020s in general. Top Gun, E...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Well, I feel the RoF is as blatant as BoG. And if we are left with the manga alone, the evidence is heavily on one side imo. I wouldn't say the base Saiyans outstrip Piccolo and Shin is an ant (although there're valid implications for that in the manga as well... But it's not the only path once can ...

That's right, being aware about companies and diversity should be done some times... Not that diversity is bad at all, but now it's being used. There were occurrences in which industries and companies faced contradiction between their practices and public images. Not all companies will face it, of c...

I dont get it lol. Can someone explain? The referee checks the recordings in slow motion and based on that he's making the decisions. It kills football and its spirit.

Base Goku at the end of Z was his final stage warrior evolution, much like Ultimate Gohan, and he couldn't get stronger with SSJ.

Re: The All-Purpose "Versus" Thread

@PowerLevelGuy Yeah, I think the implications for Goku being the strongest are a little too vague. He's excited to fight Oob, but Oob has the heart of a warrior and is a youngster yet. And Goku knows his son's aren't into fighting, so he isn't going to be interested in fighting them. Like, Goku when...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

That's going out of universe though. In-universe, there's that explanation --- Shin wasn't in the right state of mind... And since the story is indeed inconsistent, we can only make our theories to make the best out of it.
