I heard a lot of opinions on this, some say that they didn't fight because in manga form it would have been connfusing for two Gokus to go at each other. I still think it could have been done, Black's darker clothes made them very distinguishable.jeffbr92 wrote:A hundred time yes! Seeing how Black had some chemistry with Goku in the anime, it was such a shame that they never fought in the manga, though manga Black is just a generic thug in comparison to anime Black and his flamboyant personality.Vegeta_Sama wrote:Do you think it was a missed opportunity?

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
This is more of an in-universe question but has it ever been stated that the Namekian Dragon Balls can bring back a massive amount of people back from the dead twice?

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Something which recently came to my mind is how Vegeta, particularly in Super, seems to be using his same big finishers more and more often. As far as I can remember, this wasn't the case for canon Z. I'm not entirely sure whether the choice to have this happen is strictly good or bad, but it does lessen their impact, in my eyes. One of the coolest parts to these moments in their original appearances (Final Flash, Big Bang Attack, etc) is the spectacle of seeing Vegeta pull off something both dazzlingly new and devastatingly possible. I think that's been lost with the reuse done in Super.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Toei's always had a habbit of having "signature moves" come back more often then Toriyama did. The only one he used frequently in the manga was the Kamehameha, the others like the Galick Gun or Masenko only appear once. A couple other repeat use exceptions are the Kikoho and Kienzan.Lightdasher wrote:Something which recently came to my mind is how Vegeta, particularly in Super, seems to be using his same big finishers more and more often.

The anime adaptations made them happen a lot more often which isn't necessarily a bad thing, even for Super.

Which do you guys prefer, the string laces on Goku's boots or the ribbon's that Troiyama likes to draw?
Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Nobody ever wondered why Saiyans and other characters had no body hair, not even in the armpit?
Was that a Toriyama personal choice or probably a Saiyan trait?

I've always drawn him with the ribbons so I prefer them over the Laces. I don't really know why, it's one of those things you pick up that stick with youBaggie_Saiyan wrote:Which do you guys prefer, the string laces on Goku's boots or the ribbon's that Troiyama likes to draw?

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
I have two questions:
1) Why did Toppo regain that belly fat after getting knocked out? Was GoD form a temporary powerup? If so, it doesn't make sense since the GoD we saw always stay the same without transformations
2) Why the hell does Gohan not have the bang anymore in his normal state? Why isn't Ultimate his new normal state now that he regained it? Is his hairline receiding or something? Did he take inspiration from Yamcha or what? I think his early Buu saga and RoF arc hairstyles are his best looks.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
I thought Asians normally don't have much body hair. I've seen countless shirtless scenes in Toku shows and Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies and they don't show any hair. Unless they remove them off-screen?jeffbr92 wrote:Nobody ever wondered why Saiyans and other characters had no body hair, not even in the armpit?

So far Mister Satan is the only one I know in the entire franchise to sport manly body hair, but maybe because he was based on American wrestlers he was designed with more American traits like the chest carpet in mind?

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions
Does anyone else think Mastered UIs appearance would've gotten off on a better foot if SSGod was, say, the original Yamamuro design instead of the skinny, red-haired Goku one?
Having the first new God form be this bulkier design, followed up by a more classic Blue with the final being essentially silver-haired Goku's base would've made a better progression then what we have now.
Or just make Omen the actual design, that'd work too

We could have had SS3 be Goku's last form.

It doesn't feel like making UI a transformation was neccessary
