Re: Things that grind your gears
SaiyanVegetable: Everything you wrote is an opinion. Just because you hate everything doesn't make yours "fact" because you declare it as such. I respect that you dislike the new series, I really do. I even think you have some valid points as to why you dislike it, which I also have no pro...

Oh yeah, that reminds me of the one I forgot to mention. (I knew there was one I forgot when I typed up that first one!)

Re: Things that grind your gears
People calling Cell Arc Gohan a teenager is up there. I partially blame the video games for often times labeling him "Teen Gohan". I mean, seriously, he was like what, 10 or 11 years old at the time of the Cell Games? I'm just estimating in my head, but he was 4 years old at the Raditz pa...

Re: Base Cabba stronger than ssj3 Gotenks?
Either way, he can raise or lower his power quite a bit in his base form. That's almost always been the case for him since very early in the series. If we suddenly forget how he likes to toy with opponents, and that Goku can (not even talking about Kaioken mind you) ramp up his power to max in an in...

Re: Base Cabba stronger than ssj3 Gotenks?
Makes sense to me, Cabba was on par with Vegeta's normal ki base. He is not on par with Goku or Vegeta when using godly ki in base (which is more in a frame of reference with Ultimate Gohan in a sense. Looks the same as normal base, but is infinitely stronger.) Not to mention that one form isn't a &...

Re: Why Did Yajirobe enter the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai?
I'd only believe if Yajirobe took up residence with Korin before the tournament (could this be possible for him to arrive after the Z fighters finished). Also if he did take up residence there, and knew he was entering the Tournament would he have undergone Korin's training? is him taking the ultra...

Re: Why aren't the Z Fighters famous?
Roshi was a renowned Martial artist, the "Strongest Man on Earth", and winner of two previous Budokai championships (Not including his win against Goku at the 21st Budokai, which was under his alias, "Jackie Chun") Many people knew about him, or had at least heard of him. Tenshin...

Re: The new SSJ forms in context with the old ones (DBS Ep.
I don't understand, all the "shit from before" DOES function like it did before.. Even in GT, Goku had to go back and extend off the Oozaru transformation route. It is the same thing there, two routes, two optional paths to use as deemed necessary: 1> Base > Super Saiyan > 2 > 3 2> Base > ...

Re: Does Vegeta care for the Z fighters?
I see what you mean there, but I just meant he wouldn't care if those guys got stronger or not, wouldn't goad them about their training, or do anything out of his way to help them. (I didn't specify what I meant, so your conclusion was easy to draw.) Sure he'd probably save them from being killed (f...

Re: The new SSJ forms in context with the old ones (DBS Ep.
It is stupid simple guys. It even happened in Z via a different method. While not "God Ki", Elder Kai could unlock maximum potential of normal Ki in a fighter. So for Gohan, there was two options available to him: 1> Base > Super Saiyan > Super Saiyan 2 or 2> Base > Ultimate Base (Surpassi...

Re: Does Vegeta care for the Z fighters?
To varying degrees, I would say yes. Although he would never come out and say it directly, or ever let them think as much, a few of the cast have earned a measure of his respect. You really have to look back at his individual interactions with various characters and somewhat "read between the l...

Re: Will we ever learn about timeline 4?
I'll try to reason this out as best I can, with what we know: In that unseen timeline, things likely played out the same as they did in our timeline, up until where Bulma called about the "other" time machine, and the reports of towns being attacked by Cell started to pop up. Cell was not ...

Re: So I Think I Finally Get Goku's Power Status Now...Maybe
And yet, it isn't inconsistent with Dragonball because Gohan did exactly that in the Z series. When asking the Elder Kai how to use his new powerup, he is told to transform like he does with Super Saiyan. The only hang-up seems to be on who can sense them while in this powered up base state. I have ...

Some excellent insights from you, Kunzait_83. Right on the mark, and quite the way I feel about most of what is being discussed. I had a bit of a speed bump getting into the newer animation styles, but I have accepted that it has become the norm. A "compromise" on my part, if you will, bec...
