Re: Moro arc vs Granolah arc

I think the Moro arc was better simply due to the fact that Goku & Vegeta got pushed farther(physically & mentally) than they did in the later arc, Moro being a better villain than Gas & Elec could dream of, and the great opportunity to see the rest of the team play a part in whatever wa...

Re: Did Baby increase Vegeta's strength or did he just gave him extra abilities?

It's probably a case of Baby needing a few test runs to draw out the best in his host body, that and Vegeta was the 2nd strongest fighter in the team with potential that was still mostly untapped judging by his later boost with SSJ4. If Baby couldn't have Goku's body, Vegeta's was certainly the next...

Re: Is it possible for fusions to fuse?

Possibly but not likely for a potential reason. With the confirmation of the anime that fusion creates a warrior "several tens of times stronger" than the individual fusees, it could mathematically create quite a broken fighter if fusions were able to just fuse on top of each other and mul...

Re: Is Beerus the strongest character in all of shōnen fiction?

Zeno far surpasses Beerus so it's a solid "no" even from his own series. There's also Super Shenron and potentially Zalama who are not Angels but still stand above the Hakaishin. Any creator god/eldritch-demon-god-that-rules-over-or-destroys-everything from other Shonen series are more tha...

So...What Would You Like To See Next With Goku & Vegeta's Training?

DBS: Superhero toyed with the notion of getting stronger without the reliance on excess transformations to power up, but how can Goku & Vegeta make the most of that? Will they both continue to train with their respective disciplines of UI & Destruction and just try to generally improve with ...

Re: Is SSJ2 and 3 full powered possible?

SSJ2 has always come off as a fairly optimized form. There's no strain or restrictions on it and it has a lot of power. I do think that there may be some strain on it, albeit not to the crazy extent of SSJ3. While Goku & Majin Vegeta were still engaged in their big fight, their SSJ2 energy outp...

Re: Is SSJ2 and 3 full powered possible?

I suppose it is possible, the issue is that it's pointless given that there are several transformations superior in every aspect to SSJ2 & SSJ3. After BoG came out, Toriyama stated that SSJ2 & SSJ3 were merely power-upgraded variants of SSJ and that Goku(and by extension, everyone else) wasn...

Re: The All-Purpose "What-If " Thread

What if Freeza was in Super Hero? The SH movie doesn't follow the manga, so no Black Freeza. Well, if Freeza isn't in a fighting role, he'll probably just be doing his usual shtick of inquiring from his minions about the latest interplanetary affairs and if any potential worlds are up for grabs.

Re: Should the anime come back?

Given the year now, I'm more thinking of the dreaded day in which the Japanese voice cast have to retire because they're really starting to get up there in age. DB has been on air since February 1986 and they've already lost a few voice actors due to age & health complications. Toei certainly co...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

Why exactly is Gohan Beast's hair white? Is it supposed to be like a reference to SSJ5 since Toyotaro has history with DBAF? Is Beast supposed to serve the role of a canonized SSJ5 and that's why Gohan's power jumps so radically? I can't really find any justification for why Gohan is so strong aside...

Re: I feel bad but god, Gowasu was really blind.

As overlooking as he might've been prior to the zero mortal plan was enacted, Gowasu's most clueless moment in the whole situation was when he tried to appeal to Black in giving up his plan and offer him a path at redemption. With how far all of Zamasu's iterations had gone with their plan by that p...

Is Cell Max Stronger Than Broly?

I am not at all aware if the team behind DBS: Superhero took the manga into consideration when hyping Cell Max out to be stronger than Goku & Vegeta. However, they likely at least used DBS: Broly as a reference as it was another anime production, so would that mean Cell Max is stronger than Brol...

Re: How do Freeza Force soldiers learn to fly?

Earthlings seem to be an outlier in comparison to many other inhabitants across U7. Namekians can use Ki innately. The Saiyans could. The Yardrats got a more specialized usage of Ki in the form of spirit control. Freeza's race appears to be particularly proficient with Ki. Various races of humanoids...

Re: Someone today tried to argue DBZ Buuhan and up are stronger than Beerus

Why exactly start a thread about some misinformed person on the internet posting a misinformed opinion on Boohan's strength? I don't mean to sound snarky or rude, but this would probably be better suited in the non-thread worthy discussion.

Re: What Can A Tournament Of Power Part II Offer?

Another ToP doesn't necessarily have to be a free for all battle with strict rules, that was just the format set by Daishinkan to keep the fighters within the Zeno Twins' line of sight. Moreover, the result of what happens to the losing universes doesn't have to erasure either, it can actually be so...

Re: Would Buu able to copy UI or Hakai?

I imagine Boo could copy UI but it wouldn't be on the same level as Goku's or that of the Angels' level. It would probably be on par with Roshi's UI-knockoff, UI Sign, or Moro's attempt at stealing and utilizing Merus' UI. It's a technique that gets better based on the personal growth of the individ...

What Can A Tournament Of Power Part II Offer?

Even though a wider multiverse exists, the only attempt at exploring it thus far been through SDBH so I am wondering if we won't see the characters from other universes again until there is another multiversal tournament. If that is true, what might we or what would you like to to see if the twin Ze...

Re: Is Jiren really still a big deal?

It's not so much how strong Jiren was now, rather it was the lasting impact that he had on Goku & Vegeta. When you think about it, there wasn't much about Jiren that set him apart from any other fighter when it came to simple training. However, Jiren knew how to mentally make the absolute most o...

Re: How close are the humans to Ultra Instinct?

Pretty far away. Goku didn't exactly learn UI through simple training. He first needed to undergo a ritual to harness the power of the Gods and spent a few years fine-tuning his control over God Ki through a couple transformations and an improved state. Next, Goku required motivation by Roshi to tra...

Re: Fanmanga - DB Multiverse

The last chapter I can say that I personally felt genuine hype about was the Vegeta vs Raichi fight but after that, I think that's when the decline in quality began. The "jump the shark" moment though was definitely the Majin Rebellion arc. At this point, I'm only reading now to see the co...
