Re: Super anime vs Super manga
Where can I get that kinda emotional payoff in the DBS manga? Chapter 76 springs immediately to mind, as Granolah and Vegeta are both confronted by their own Avenger/Destroyer poses, circle the drain together and their convictions ebb away, and both resolve to die in combat as Goku tries franticall...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
I'd like to proffer another nomination, most succinctly summarised as "Story Mode". Story Mode has always been with us in Dragon Ball games, but I feel it's become much lamer and less satisfying in the modern period, where the audience typically demands more game for its money. So they to...

Re: Super anime vs Super manga
I enjoy the Dragon Ball Super manga for its own sake and on its own merits, and feel no interest at all in putting it up "vs" anything.

Gotta say, Gotenks becoming part of a Volleyball play to expose Cell Max's weak point is a cute little adjustment.

Honestly, this looks like silly, playful fun, which is very much Toriyama's wheelhouse.

Re: Chi Chi and Goku should have gotten a divorce a long time ago
Counterpoint: They seem basically happy enough in the life they share together, and it appears they are both content for it to continue more-or-less as it is, indefinitely. There's plenty "wrong" with their relationship from a real-world perspective where married people need to adopt speci...

Ajay and some others on Twitter are saying Geekdom's leaks are half-truths and contain some misinformation, so let's not take everything here as truth.

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread
Goku was born with a PL of 2, and this was outrageous for Bardock. So, what would've been a decent PL for a newborn? 10? 20? 50? How strong were elite saiyan babies then? An elite adult saiyan like Nappa (in his forties?) was capping a little above 5000. Kid Vegeta is implied to be stronger than hi...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 97 - Official Discussion Thread
This one wasn't half bad. The most fun I've had with Dragon Ball in months. Agreed. This Chapter was a lot of fun, and did a good job of threading both the main Movie-derived beats and the manga intro section-specific material in teaming up the Saiyamen and the Gammas to make a Chapter that balance...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Calling Gohan “trash” was just empty bragging. Possibly so. But Gohan grimaces and sweats hard when Dabura says it, and for most of their fight Dabura is smirking (minus specifically the struggle around the sword, which is the only time he seems to expend real effort), much like he is for most of h...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
What's the consensus on Dabra's strength now? Given that whether Gohan fights him as SSj or SSj2 is one of the most contentious longstanding arguments going among the Dragon Ball internet fandom, and this plays directly into any judgement of how strong Dabura is, I don't think you can have anything...

Re: Why the Black Frieza saga will not be seen
I could be wrong, but I didn't get the impression that Freeza's appearance in the Granolah arc was with the idea of laying the ground for any particular future storyline in any case - it seems likelier that his newfound power is just a convenient pretext for Goku and Vegeta to continue to have a spe...

Re: Do you dislike the Dragon Team vs Moro goons part of the arc?
Overall I don't mind it; there's some good fun action to enjoy from that part of the arc, and it ticks along okay in and of itself, particularly the Piccolo and Gohan vs. OG73-I section of the fighting, and it's also a pretty good time when Moro gets on the scene and empowers Saganbo to wreck shop. ...
