Re: My idea for a Dragonball liveaction film

This is true if you're referring to the RRA arc. I get the impression that's where most people who came from Z drop out, and therefore miss the concentrated awesome that is the Piccolo Daimao ordeal. You are forgetting, of course, that being a movie, we would need to compress things anyway, which wo...

Re: How would Nappa & Vegeta have knowledge of the Namekians

I like to think that the planet of strong guys who Raditz was wanting Goku's help to conquer was in fact Namek, and that's why Vegeta and Nappa recognized Piccolo as Namekian. I now have something to add to my Live Action Movie notes. (Don't worry, the only idea in there that's actually mine is how...

Re: "Why are you watching a kids cartoon show?"

Because it's awesome, and I doubt I will ever stop calling myself a kid.

And video games causing violence is pretty much the opposite of what studies say, so nya.

OMFG! I think the only reason I opened this topic was to see whether or not anyone exploded over it coming back. Now that I'm done being a douche: The general consensus has been that the anime tries to make Kid Buu the strongest, while the manga makes it very clear that Super Buu is the uncontested ...

Ah. At first I thought he was referring to one of the DBHeroes characters or something, then I remembered that the FUNi dub changed Shen's name to Hero.

Re: Cell a Solar System Buster ?

People don't really seem to understand the idea of big distances. Would you want to run 100 miles? Drive ten thousand? It takes months to reach other planets with our technology. Other planets. Not other stars. It takes eight minutes for light--the fastest thing that we know of--to reach the Earth f...

Re: Yamcha uses the Gravity room

Normal humans would be crushed instantly with only 2-3G's though. Most people will black out at about 5 g after a few seconds due to lack of blood/oxygen to the brain, but it won't literally crush them or anything. Fighter pilots put up with worse than that. Humans can even survive exposure to 40 g...

Re: What If Tsuru-sen'nin and Tao Pai Pai joined with Gero?

I assume we're ignoring the half-hearted attempts that filler made at bringing back Tao. I assume that #17 and #18 weren't martial artists before their conversion, meaning that Gero had to write to their brains everything he needed them to know. It would have been easier to use real martial artists ...

Now that I think of it, have we ever observed anything destroying a star? Hm, I recall reading something about Blazars tearing apart galaxies. Keep in mind that a Blazar is basically a quasar turned into a concentrated beam, fueled by an entire galaxy of its own. Ok, so I think it's safe to say that...

Re: Cell a Solar System Buster ?

It's as though Cell was implying that if Gohan failed to stop that Kamehameha, the whole solar system would die. But the sun was up at the time, wasn't it? So there goes the easiest explanation. Maybe Jupiter was behind Earth at the time and Cell saw it on the way in. :P. If it's anything like our J...

Re: Kuririn & Tenshinhan's PIS in the Cell arc

All I'm taking away from this is that NVDA pronounces PIS as piss, and piss is indeed rather common in dragonball. I think a Methods of Rationality version of DBZ would be hilarious. (Gohan reads a lot of scholarly stuff, after all.) But of course, Gohan wasn't around for the scene in question, so :...

Re: Gotenks FTL ?

Perhaps, but spaceships? But, yeah, no accurate timeframe + no accurate scale + no way of knowing if speed increases linearly with power makes the calculation purely speculative. However, SSJ3 Gotenks is able to rip a hole in the RoSaT. I think SSJ3 is just insane enough that if Toriyama came out an...

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball

Speed seems to be the biggest advantage that DBZ characters have. Voldemort has a one-hit kill technique, but in the time it'd take him to cast it and for it to reach Roshi, the turtle master could probably knock out a whole army of death eaters and feel up all of the sixth-year girls at Hogwarts.
