Re: How Strong Are Janemba & Super Janemba?

The Z movies usually sort of mirror what's going on in the anime around the time they come out, aside from a few (World's Strongest, Tree of Might, and Lord Slug are kind of oddballs, and Wrath of the Dragon takes place sometime vaguely after the Buu saga.) Fusion Reborn is definitely the "Buu ...

Re: Is There Any Noticeable Difference Between A Power Level of 1,000,000 and 1,000,001?

I doubt a single point would make any noticeable difference once they're in the millions. Heck, even before the millions (back when they first got into the thousands+ range) nobody really mentioned specific hundreds or tens much anymore unless they're quoting exact scouter readings (like when Nappa ...

Re: What if the God Hierarchy would look like this?

And where is Zalama? Why are the Super Dragon Balls so important, but their creator is nowhere to be seen? Just where is he, or (grim thought) what happened to him? Well, if we assume the Super Dragon Balls work the same way as lesser sets of Dragon Balls, he'd have to at least still be alive since...

Re: OK, before it is revealed, what do you think Vegeta's Yardrat tehnique will actually be?

Maybe it will keep him connected to energy stolen by Moro so he can mess with his body after being drained. So when all seems lost and all lay on the ground defeated unbenounced, to Moro has been bugged by Vegeta's energy allowing geets to do some cool stuff. The idea of a character being able to c...

Re: Who Else Has the Potential to Turn 'Good'?

Nappa and Raditz could potentially have switched sides. They weren't as ruthless as Vegeta, and he ended up a good guy in the end. Plus, Nappa wanted to wish Raditz back at first and wondered about repopulating the Saiyan race by interbreeding with humans -- Vegeta's the one who goes on about "...

Re: Kid Goku didn't have a power-level of ten at the beginning of DB.

I've always thought beginning-of-Dragonball kid Goku would be more along the lines of a 20-25 based on just how far above normal humans (and even strongman types like Mr. Satan) he was even back then. That puts him comfortably above both normal humans and the kind of power levels I'd estimate for &q...

Re: Vegeta and Hell

Well, he did qualify as a "good/pure-hearted Saiyan" for purposes of the Super Saiyan God ritual. Maybe that's just comparing to how (genocidally) bad most Saiyans were historically rather than measuring by the same standards that determine whether you go to Hell or not, but it's still a p...

Re: Piccolo & Android 18 post-Tournament of Power

Piccolo was shown to be above Super Saiyan 2 Gohan before the tournament so he’s most likely still at that level (which is probably around Super Perfect Cell). Eh? SSj2 Gohan during the Cell Games was far ahead of Cell (able to match his Kamehameha with only one arm and feeling like he'd lost half ...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

As for the pacing, I would take a chapter once a month over the padding side-chapters. Especially when Genie Buu added nothing to the story other than confirming that Zen Buu is a Sue. It was even more pointless than the villain win side-stories. Pointless maybe, but "Buu grants Hirudegarn's w...

Re: Pure Boo > Evil Boo makes more narrative sense?

Why do many people believe that Evil Boo was stronger than Pure Boo? Because Goku spent Super Buu's entire existence avoiding him and admitting outright that he couldn't win against that form of Buu. And then as soon as Kid Buu turns up he's all "yeah, we did it, we can handle him now!".....

Piccolo still being alive means Kami still being alive, which means they still have Dragon Balls. There's not really any way Krillin can compete with that. They could wish for a way to become stronger and find out about the Room of Spirit and Time that way, for example -- let's say Piccolo goes in w...
