Re: Were Goku and Freeza fighting at their peak on Namek?

They had injuries but their power levels don't change. They only continue to get stronger as the fight progresses and they both take more damage. Same with the Tournament of Power, they were getting tired but their actual strength was only increasing, never decreasing. If Goku's arm was messed up th...

Re: What does Vegeta think of Krillin and the Humans?

Manga vegeta has actually matured outside the heat of the battle and is nominally sociable. He greets everyone with a wry smile before the top. They probably aren't in any WhatsApp meme groups together but he loosely considers Kuririn and the other 3 humans his “friends” or at least “family friends...

Re: Why did Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo, and Chioatzu keep their bodies after death?

Grandpa Gohan, the team who died fighting the saiyans, Goku both times, and every single person who kept their bodies in the manga died while protecting their world from a threat. I find it funny that Grandpa Gohan saved the Earth by proxy by witnessing Goku hit his head on a rock. True. I was spec...

Re: How was Vegeta able to witness what took place on Earth while in Hell?

It is specifically stated that Enma had to give Vegeta his body back, meaning he was a soul during his time in the afterlife. It really never made sense how he could have seen those events, and it makes even less sense with what we learned about Hell in Super. The best explanation is that Enma and B...

Re: Why did Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo, and Chioatzu keep their bodies after death?

When somebody dies protecting their world, they are deemed worthy of keeping their bodies in the afterlife. Grandpa Gohan, the team who died fighting the saiyans, Goku both times, and every single person who kept their bodies in the manga died while protecting their world from a threat. The anime is...

Re: What does Vegeta think of Krillin and the Humans?

He has to respect Krillin after everything he saw this man do. Krillin almost tricked Nappa with the Kienzan and Vegeta picked up on it. Krillin was the one who held Vegeta's life in his hands at the end and let Vegeta go. Vegeta was crapping his pants at the sight of Krillin in that moment. Vegeta ...

Re: If Gohan entered the ROSAT with Piccolo instead of Goku, how strong would he become?

The anime frankly is irrelevant. In fact, doesn't Goku say that he was going to be harsher than Piccolo in the manga? Not only was Goku the only one of the two able to properly articulate how to become a Super Saiyan, but through understanding the form was able to come up with the approach of maste...

Re: If Gohan entered the ROSAT with Piccolo instead of Goku, how strong would he become?

Piccolo's insinuation of Goku being softhearted with his son does have a place in the manga as he made that observation back when Gohan proposed being trained by his father after he was resurrected during the Saiyan arc. Circumstances then corroborated what Piccolo was saying. It's a different stor...

Okay, but, you’re wrong. So there.

It's Goten.

Goku and Gohan were both unbearably cute, but Goten exists literally just to be as cute as possible and do nothing else.

If Gohan entered the ROSAT with Piccolo instead of Goku, how strong would he become?

This might be controversial but there is some evidence indicating that Piccolo might have been able to make Gohan stronger than Goku did. First of all when we look at Gohan's training scenes with Goku, especially in the anime, Gohan calls his father out on being too soft. He specifically says that P...

Yes, Son Goku would have been able to achieve the Super Saiyan transformation, as it would have been a matter of time until Son Goku would have been forced to defend himself, his family, friends, and the rest of all life on Planet Earth from Piccolo Junior.

Re: Would Goku still be the Super Saiyan if he never met aliens and never left Earth?

Would Goku still eventually reach Super Saiyan levels of power if he lived his whole life on Earth thinking he was a human? I know fighting aliens pushed him to accelerate his growth a lot, but given his whole lifetime, surely he would have eventually achieved the type of power that he was always d...

Re: Who is funnier, Goku or Vegeta?

I guess with Vegeta, I'm usually laughing *with* him. With Goku, I'm laughing *at* him. I think the opposite is true for me. When he laughs he tends to be a monster or being smug, which ISNT bad but isnt all that funny. Goku on the other hand is funny and while I do laugh at his antics he's never b...
