Kanzenshuu

It could be said that at that point, Goku technically was the strongest fighter out of them all not counting things like fusion, Rou Kaioshin's ritual to push someone far past their limits, or Boo's ability to absorb others. That's probably why Toriyama himself held the sentiment that Goku was "the ...

I think Freeza's #1 motivation was that he was just tired of dealing with the Saiyans and that he made the snap decision to just kill them all rather than ponder what could have been. Whether it be because he was generally just an unfeeling sociopath or was prejudiced toward them, Freeza never ...

I guess this iteration of Cell is the "lizard monster" that Gast was said to have fought. He's honestly more of a bugman still move than anything, but I can see why he would be lizard-like with his tail regrowing as well as having a green color scheme along with spots on him.

XXI did talk about powering up the villains in the previous chapter, but if he actually did do that isn't yet clear.

My guess is either that Shin being turned into a child affected his Ki more than the others, Shin's fusion getting split by Boo's "bad air" mixed up his power in particular, Daima being a different continuity where things played out a little differently, or all of the above.
It is also important to ...

I've seen people in the comments saying "What could Goku even do to XXI anyways, if Gast couldn't do anything?", and to that, I say: Why didn't XXI just use his true form to overwhelm Goku and everyone prior instead of making wishes to easily defeat all of his opponents? Why all the time, effort ...

I really think a better narrative format for DBM would to have been the Vargas setting up a battle tower-type arena, where they picked the strongest fighters from a bunch more different universes(as opposed to only 20) and had them contend against the U18 team until the U18 team lost a certain ...

I'm not sure if Vegeta actually did know his mother. I'm sure he did know of her, but he has never mentioned anything about her whether it's positive, negative, or anywhere in-between. As far as I know, Vegeta's mother has not even been mentioned in any filler scene which suggests that she may have ...

It makes you wonder why they all don't try and do something with their powers to bring in mountains of cash? Even Oolong & Puar can shapeshift, which can be a very helpful ability at surveillance or a variety of jobs depending on what is needed. It's not like the team are superheroes who have to ...

The movie format really doesn't offer enough time or give room for meaningful explanation as to how Broly can be defeated outside of deus ex machina, so that's probably why he's the "strongest" in Takao Koyama's eyes. There's really no excuse as to why they never depicted Broly beyond the medium he ...

PLs really should've just ended with the fight against Vegeta, as that was the point where they got ridiculous. The numbers were more or less stable by comparison prior to that, remaining in the 3-4 digit range before the reveal of Vegeta being in the 5 and then 6 digit range, which forced Goku(and ...

It's important to remember that while ordinary humans don't possess Ki control, Goku did even as a toddler. As unlikely as it sounds, Goku with a PL of 2 was probably stronger than the Farmer with the shotgun on account of the Farmer not knowing how to actually make use of his PL, whether it be 5 ...

Kami's temple has a few odd rooms in which time & space is seemingly traversed, ranging from the Earth/Planet Vegeta in the distant past or whatever quasi-afterlife-dimension it is that the previous Kami reside in. And yet, the people who 'travel' away in one of these rooms always end up back at the ...

Nah. It honestly makes more sense that Krillin is stronger than Yamcha due to training alongside Goku for awhile, living with their master for several years of his life, and being married to a SSJ-tier woman. He also got his potential unlocked by Saichoro which seemed to work wonders for Gohan as ...

Tbh, DB Daima felt like an excuse by Toriyama to lore dump the demon realm/extended multiverse in the form of an anime rather than just another interview or guidebook section, and you know what? I'm all for it. :thumbup:
DB has never been a masterpiece in storytelling or something that required a ...

What does that have to do with Goku clenching in a panic against Bootenks???

Despite not improving much, Goten & Trunks have fought and survived against numerous opponents way more powerful than Android 18, and Android 18 has gotten trashed by nearly every serious opponent after Vegeta way back when. That kinda ends the argument right then & there.
For Android 18 to have ...

With all the fan art & manga aside and supposing that Raditz' soul is still around in hell, is there a case to be made that Raditz could redeem himself from evil and find a way to atone for his past like Vegeta? He wasn't quite as ruthless as Nappa, who killed an entire city of people(and many ...

Say that Goku started off ten times stronger than he did(PL of 100, as opposed to 10), and his PL consistently remained ten times higher after every point he trained than what he achieved in the actual story(PL of 4,160 in the Saiyan arc beginning, PL of 80,000 during the end of the Saiyan arc ...

You know, as cool as I might find XXI to be, he's just not a DB character. He feels too serious, menacing, and even grandiose for DB's genre, appearing more like a big, cosmic villain from Marvel or DC than Shonen. He's pretty much a full-on Galactus/Unicron parallel at this point, and I don't think ...
