Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

What's the evidence for Supreme Kai being weaker than the base saiyans? Mostly from people needlessly taking everything in the story as a power statement, and therefore interpreting Kaioshin's caution towards Pui-Pui and Yakon as him meaning "either of these guys could effortlessly slaughter m...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Be glad that relevant games only use Z Bardock. Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when the Bardock DLC for Kakarot was based almost entirely on the original, actually-good TV special, with Gine's inclusion being the only thing (that I'm aware of) related to Minus instead. I'd be overjoyed to see tha...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced

Gameplay looks nuts. The highly-destructible environments are cool. Getting a Steam/PC version is a good sign for the obvious modding potential. And keeping the original "Sparking!" title even for the English version is kinda nice to see. But overall my feelings are still the same as they ...

Re: A roster of 10 characters only?! Create it!

Okay, I'm going to kinda go Hard Mode and try to make a franchise-spanning "all-stars" roster of only 10 characters. But I'm gonna cheat a little bit by having alternate outfits to represent different variants of those characters... and then I'm gonna cheat even more by adding a few potent...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?

I always thought that Trunks finally gaining Super Saiyan only after Gohan died was, on top of just having more dramatic weight, also a good way to express the "passing the torch" themes at work in that special story. As if the hope of one day defeating the Androids has been directly passe...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

Daiz e nshuu though has several entries in it that are flawed because when created they look at things in isolation and there is oversight into how they relate to one another. For example, daizenshuu entry states that Piccolo daimo's strongest attack can destroy only a city. This is because this is...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?

It's rash to just lock in on Gohan's remark about being at half-strength while overlooking everything else. Ki is just as much a spiritual and mental power as it is a physical one, and Gohan's despair was holding him back just as much as his injury. He didn't win in the end because his 50% was still...

Re: Dragon Ball 2024 40th Anniversary Predictions

My unrealistic pipe-dream prediction is for a new, worthwhile English release of the original manga from Viz. The 3-in-1s have all been out for the better part of a decade now, the VizBigs are even older, and I'd love to finally have a new "Anniversary Edition" worthy of replacing my copie...

Maybe because he's content-aware and knows that all the modern stories are midquel material so there's no actual stakes to anything he does.

Re: How would you like GT to be handled going forward?

As far as I'm concerned, the two (or more ) separate versions of Super are the "alternative" stories, not GT. They're what-if realities where Beerus woke up a few decades early and interrupted the post-Boo time period that the original manga suggested was peaceful and uneventful. I do kind...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Only issue with that is Vegeta never showed SS3 yet it was confirmed that when he became SS4 he was tied with Goku. I've thought of that, and it seems to me like even though Vegeta either can't use SS3 at will or perhaps just chooses not to use it... thanks to Baby his body might at least be capabl...

Re: Hypothetically what would be the better stroy

Almost 30 years later and GT's ending is still the definitive best one for the larger story. In a better timeline, the ideal option would be a moderately better-written GT still serving as that final ending, preceded by a much -better-written-than-what-we-got version of Super that actually properly ...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

Do you guys think an 8,000x multiplier for SSJ4 (SSJ4 = 20x SSJ3) is accurate, or should it be much higher? Based on how we saw Goku and Baby's fights progress, and assuming SS4 actually has anything resembling a predictable multiplier... then I think the most straightforward option is that Gold Ap...

Maybe I'm just mixing a little bit of head-canon and rewrite material into it, but remember that whole "Saiyans get stronger as they fight" thing that's come up in a few contexts? I figure that one of nuBroli's perks as the Legendary Super Saiyan is that this trait is cranked up to 11 for ...

Re: Information on Super Saiyan 4's power

I'm really confused as to why the structure of nuBroli's power has to be so complicated. The way I see it, he basically just has multiple things that are multiplying his baseline power at the same time, except the "multiplier" for one of them is steadily increasing instead of being static....
