Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
True UI was Goku's solution to a temporary problem. He wasn't managing to use perfected ultra instinct correctly because he was having trouble keeping his heart calm, so resorted to something else. And even in the same fight, Goku's best effort against Gas was him temporarily tapping into perfected...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
True UI is still a technique the same way UI is a technique. Goku and Whis referred to the Silver Haired UI as his best technique so I severely doubt True UI is needed anymore. Gohan was able to tap into a higher level of Beasts power but stopped before going Berserk, the power that he did use put ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
True UI is not Goku's strongest. I'm pretty sure it is, though, in the category of "strength" as opposed to "technique". Goku even says that he wasn't fighting to actually beat Gohan, just to test out Gohan's power. Such a statement could mean that Goku had something in reserve,...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
After reading it again, it looks like Gohan has three 'levels' to his Beast form; Base Beast(he simply activates the form and fights like normal), Controlled Beast(he powers up as much as he can without losing himself), and Rage Beast(he goes all out in fury). With that in mind and If I had to rank ...

Re: Gotenks(Post-Rosat)>>Goku and Vegeta
Is fusion necessarily super haxed for everybody though? If you compare Gotenks
with Vegetto/Gogeta, it's not even remotely close. Kibitoshin was also kind of insignificant despite getting a power boost up from simply being Shin.

Re: Was the potential of the old saiyan blocked?
A number of Saiyans also weren't too powerful to begin with. Paragus actually even killed another Saiyan with a simple laser gun, so just because some Saiyans were born as Saiyans didn't make them inherently strong or special. Ginyu mentioned something about how some fighters may be mutants and are ...

Re: By Super, Bulma has become corrupt like any early series villain
I wouldn't say that Bulma is corrupt, just a bit selfish and perhaps, opportunistic as a result of few other people on Earth knowing about the DBs as well as lacking the tools & means to find them. She could certainly be using her wishes for more benevolent, actual-important reasons, but at leas...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
It often seems like people pass away when you least expect it. I knew Toriyama was older, but I didn't think he was old enough to go quite so soon.
RIP Akira Toriyama, perhaps we'll all see you again someday.

Re: So what age is Goku REALLY?
He was still 12 when he met Bulma. Minus and Super Broli establishing he was 3 when he was sent to earth doesn't magically change his stated age at the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai. Well damn, I haven't looked at the timeline in forever. Although now that I looked it up again, it is odd to me how Planet ...

Re: So what age is Goku REALLY?
DB: Minus & DBS: Broly have established that Goku was infact 3 years old at the time of Planet Vegeta's destruction; so Goku was 15 or almost 15 when he met Bulma, which roughly lines up with his initial count of being 14 when Bulma asked how old he was. It's Toriyama's retcon so it is what it i...

Re: Where would you rank Super perfect cell power relative to SSJ2 Gohan?
Gohan(with his energy not quite completely refilled) was stalemating Dabura, more or less. Some conflicting answers aside on which SSJ form Gohan was in, I don't see Dabura as being superior to Perfect Cell, let alone SPC. His best attacks were magic in nature and they didn't even succeed in defeati...

Alright, imagine that Trunks' timeline goes perfectly then. Goku doesn't die as the heart virus never afflicts him. The Androids don't get the jump on the Z Senshi as Gero is somehow found out ahead of time, his main lab & underground lab both getting destroyed before the Androids or Cell can be...

....what would that mean exactly for the main timeline? Would it have been an inverse in which things totally go south for the Earth in the main timeline? Or would it have little-to-no bearing on it and there wouldn't be an erasure of one timeline or the other by either of the Zenos? It always seeme...

Re: Why Tenshinhan/Tien can, and should get more relevance
If they did a chapter/episode(if the Super anime ever decides to make a return) going more into Tenshinhan's backstory or that of his people's, that might be an actual reason to include him in the story. A good setup to getting that concept off the ground would be to have Bulma/Dr. Hedo do a study o...

The art is good, but the story is unfortunately not all that captivating so far. I actually would rather go without any story until the next main chapter if this is where it's going.

Re: Beerus sparing the earth in BoG makes no sense now
If I had to guess what the writers could be thinking, Beerus' power has been surpassed...but only as 'Beerus, the fighter', not 'Beerus, the God of Destruction'. The Granolah arc established that Beerus can seemingly just keep raising his power under the justification that his mind is "always o...

Re: How skilled are Dragon ball characters as martial artist?
When it comes down to it, I think Bruce's application of martial arts is not to build his Chi/Ki like other fighters do in fiction, but to just learn the actual fighting moves and use them whenever he needs to fight. That's sorta the philosophy that Roshi literally spat at in early DB, when Krillin ...

Re: Why Tenshinhan/Tien can, and should get more relevance
For better or worse, it is simply not DB's style to give supporting characters like Tenshinhan significant power ups just so they can actually make a difference against the latest threat and have a newfound impact on the story. The best he ever did in that department was spamming a particular Ki bla...

Re: How skilled are Dragon ball characters as martial artist?
In DC, there is Karate Kid, a human from the future who has mastered every conceivable martial art(including alien ones) and was able to actually physically tangle with Superboy in sparring matches. I do believe that this is the concept of Chi/Ki in DC's universe, allowing even an ordinary human to ...
