Kanzenshuu

However, when it comes to GT, still to this day, I have never seen an official source declare that it's NOT canon. It's always coming from fans that dislike/hate it. I don't think that's necessarily true. People form their own canons, whether they're simply fans or creators who are actually involve...

Well, there are the Far-Seeing Arts. Far-Seeing Arts First Appearance: Chapter 150 Category: special People: Kaio, Kami, Karin, Dende, Piccolo, Elder Kaioshin Special Characteristics: An art whose use is limited to only a very few among the people of the Heavenly Realm. Using this art, they constant...

Anime has a japanese origin cartoon ..rest of the world also Manga ---> Japanese (Manwah Korean) Comic ----> rest of the world In other words, anime is japanese cartoons. Therefore, its a cartoon, just a specific one from a certain place. Its basically the same as saying french cartoons, only of ja...

Deus Ex Machinas The RoSaT, fusion, SSJ3, and pretty much everything else in the Buu saga are major deus ex machinas. DeM's tend to kill the beleivability of stories, even ones as ridiculous as DBZ's. I just wanted to focus on this point for a second. Do these even count as Deus Ex Machinas? A char...

There's one explanation I don't think anyone's raised in the thread yet: Cell could have been lying about it being in his head. Why give away your weak spot? I'm not saying this is what I believe or anything like that. Cell is certainly arrogant enough to tell the truth, and normally a writer wouldn...

I use Boo because it's closer to the original. But it isn't. The original is ブウ (bū). How is "Boo" closer to that than "Buu?" Well, there isn't really a difference between ブー and ブウ, they're simply different ways of writing bū . He didn't change the pronunciation at all, unlike ...

The question is in the title. I say less than 10 times stronger. That sounds reasonable. If Super Saiyan Gotenks really would have been enough to handle Fat Buu, we could say that he was around the same as Super Saiyan 3 Goku; if you believe the official multipliers, that would make Super Saiyan 3 ...

Technically, Toriyama only told us that ki is made up of spiritual powers such as genki, yuuki, and shouki. He doesn't say that they're the only three--in fact, the way he words it sort of implies otherwise to me. I think you're on to something with the idea that genki is needed to turn ki into a fo...

I don't think "his power is like a lie" is supposed to be taken as "his power is literally a lie". It just seems like a typically Japanese way of saying that his power is unbelievable to me. Like how you wouldn't take the English comment "his power is unreal" to mean &q...

But there is literally no such thing. There's zero purpose for it. It's just suppression. It's probably just different people using slightly different terminology. If you consider anything below their maximum to be "suppressed", then what you're saying makes sense. Someone else might only...

Totally off topic (derailing my own thread :P ) but I've heard of this Hunter x Hunter brought up on the forums before. I've been looking for a new manga to get into. I'm assuming that this is pretty good? Worth a read? I highly recommend it. Its only problem is that the author is slow (at least so...

So. Is KK being anyhow magical possible? Anything in DB is possible. Is KK being anyhow magical likely? Nothing ever suggests that, so it's pretty safe to assume it's not (unless we ever get a confirmation that it is). THAT's what logic is. If we can't even agree on how ki works to begin with, then...

I'm not saying we should apply everything from Hunter x Hunter to Dragon Ball, but I do think that a lot of its concepts could fit, or at the very least make someone wonder if something about Dragon Ball's ki could be explained in a similar way. For instance, in Hunter x Hunter, focusing all of your...

"Toon force" (who came up with that term, anyway? so stupid-sounding...) being used in fights/power comparisons is nonsense and garbage. Gag characters are not magically omnipotent in non-gag scenarios just because. They can do absurd things way beyond their normal level of power sometime...

This got me curious. Why didn't Akira explain Ki more? Akira used psychic power, not ki--although they're arguably the same thing depending on how you look at it and what franchise you're talking about. ...Oh! You meant Akira Toriyama! I think he left ki intentionally vague to avoid contradicting h...

I'm not trying to tell anyone off, personally. I just don't want to waste anyone's time saying the same things back and forth when we don't have to.

Vegeta said that "(Saiyans) can't be reduced to numbers" He also said that a Saiyan is ten times stronger as an Oozaru, so I don't think he has a fundamental problem with multipliers. I think he meant it more along the lines of not being able to predict the outcome of a fight or how much ...

Environment? Food?.. Spirit? I don't really care and can't be bothered to think it up, I simply believe that it comes from somewhere, just like normal real life energy and strength comes from somewhere . In other words, so long as we call it "somewhere" instead of "nowhere", you...

The same line of logic can be used to say that, "At least whoever's in Melee is a Nintendo character!" Snake is not. Your argument implies that the development of these games is not progressive... Snake and Sonic have proven that to not be the case, so just because Goku didn't originate i...

They were amazed at Goku's ki when he powered up despite Piccolo feeling USSJ2 Trunks and if USSJ2 Trunks > 50% MSSJ Goku and so is Vegeta so they should be around the same level and Vegeta is surely ahead of USSJ2 Trunks in the Cell Games USSJ2 Trunks is stated to be stronger than Initial Perfect ...
