Re: Is Dragon Ball GT an Alternate Timeline?

Bra is older than Pan as clearly seen in end of Z she is about 8 years old and Pan is 5 and in GT Pan is 12, Bra is 15. I don't know where you're getting this notion from, but it's not correct — Pan being a year older than Bra has always been the case. The only thing to ever say otherwise was Bra's...

Re: Information on Super Saiyan 4's power

I don't see why nuBroli's "Rage" state trick wouldn't be the same 10-fold boost that Great Ape's always been. It's just that nuBroli himself is crazy-strong to begin with even without it, and his power was apparently constantly growing even more as the fight went on, so the 10x power boost...

Re: People who genuinely argue the humor added in dubs "Improves the show"

In a vacuum, the jokes themselves may or may not be funny. But if they're not at least halfway-faithful translations of what the characters are saying in Japanese, then they don't belong there. And if a domestic dub of a show is overloaded with dialogue, jokes or otherwise, that aren't what the char...

Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?

Okay, let me lay it out more clearly then. Goku and Vegeta are 1,000 kiri or 50,000,000 scouter points each. If you use "A x B" literally in scouter points then Vegetto becomes a whopping 50 million times stronger than either of them alone. Because you're supposedly literally multiplying G...

Re: How do you think they will react to Gohan and Piccolo's new transformations?

Goku seeing Orange Piccolo: "Wow, something even more bland, unimaginative, and superfluous than my Ultra Instinct form!"

Vegeta seeing Beast Gohan: "Wow, something even more ugly, impractical, and nonsensical than my Ultra Ego form!"

Re: How strong is Base Vegetto (Manga)?

Just basic reason contradicts taking the "AxB" thing literally. Battle power is raw, immaterial ki energy, which has no inherent numerical value until a measurement device assigns it one. But different devices work on different scales and with different units, and we've seen at least two i...

Do you do what I do? You ask for a source of this "canon"? Either people get mad or they don't reply at all. A lot of idiotic claims are made in the fandom of Dragon Ball so I realized that "asking for a source" to be a great weapon against all that. If they don't provide, it me...

You might be surprised by how willfully ignorant and "selective" in their thought process many of those communities are, as well as how little I care what they think to begin with.

Re: Information on Super Saiyan 4's power

Honestly, while I hate that any official media portrays either version of the insipid bundle of overhyped blandness that is Ultra Instinct as being in any way better than any level of Super Saiyan 4... I'm also kinda tickled pink that the opposite and unfortunately pervasive notion, that Super Saiya...

The topic simply asked "do you like Super?" I didn't notice an "(only 'yes' answers allowed)" clause attached anywhere. I gave my honest if somewhat justifiably frustrated answer to the question. I explained exactly why I so vehemently dislike Super — because not only is the prod...

I actually absolutely can, do, and will continue to blame the existence of a large and uniquely rotten addition to the franchise for a very specific and damaging trend of fandom toxicity that specifically revolves around that particular addition, thanks.

Re: Do you like Super?

I abso-fuggin'-lutely despise Super. Not only is it a lousy (pair of) product(s) on its own — copping cliché fanfic concepts for its story arcs, trying to pass off a parade of lazy recolors as new transformations, repeatedly attempting to alter past lore for no good reason, and generally devoid of a...

Re: Is Dragon Ball GT an Alternate Timeline?

GT isn't an alternate timeline in any sort of in-universe, "Trunks split the flow of time in twain again" sense. It's an alternate continuity, one of many splitting off from the main story of the original DB manga. It's in the same boat as the movies, each version of Super, Dragon Ball Onl...

I've talked about this in various "how would you improve DB Super" topics across the internet, but the way I'd have liked to see it work, and plan to actually realize in a hypothetical DBS rewrite someday if I ever manage to relaunch GTR first, is... Super Saiyan God would be, and remain, ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Yeah, the heroes' power lineup in Battle of Gods makes a lot more sense when you remember it was originally written and even animated with regular Super Saiyan Gohan, and he was only changed to using Ultimate at some very late stage.
