Re: How strong do you think Broly was as a kid?

I would imagine that Broly being as strong as he is happened a lot more recently than back in his youth, otherwise he absolutely would have been sensed by others on Earth, Namek, and other sections of the cosmos like Kaioshin's world. Broly lost control on a number of occasions in his life, yet it w...

Re: If Zamasu came back

If the Makaio/Makaioshin ever get officially introduced( doubtful , being that Toriyama has passed away), Zamasu should be name-dropped by them at least as a callback. It could be explained that Zamasu had become a Makaio in his insanity, and is the reason why he could create endless copies of himse...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

So this comic is probably going to take another few years to conclude, I take it? Given that it started in 2008 and it's 2024 now, DBM may very well see itself end on it's 20-year-anniversary. I gotta say, it's honestly quite a feat to draw out a fancomic that lasts a few days in-universe, to about ...

Re: Did Piccolo HAVE to kill Goku or did he choose to?

I would imagine he did have to. Piccolo was missing an arm and didn't have a moment to regen, he only had enough time to collect energy for one more shot, and despite being injured too, Raditz was likely still stronger than they were. If Piccolo didn't fire then and there, they would not have gotten...

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...

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...
