Re: It should be Cabbe, not Cabba

Why don't those who use "Cabe/Kabe" just use the "e" with an accent mark? :)

Re: Does Goku have hidden potential?

Gohan and Goku have very similar inner-workings when it comes to what exactly makes them get stronger. For example, pretty much every Saiyan can get a rage boost or a Zenkai* or whatever. What's special about Gohan is that him being half-human somehow makes his rage boosts extra strong compared to ...

Re: How Future Trunks can be in DB Super/New Majin Buu Saga?

Any way they want, as long as they put effort into it. "His story is over" is a lazy excuse by people who lack imagination. If that was any kind of valid argument, Dragon Ball could have easily ended at the 23rd Budokai. Eh, to some extent I agree and disagree. The difference is that basi...

Re: Does Goku have hidden potential?

I think there has been a confusion. I think the OP was talking about hidden potential in the vein of Gohan's hidden power, not improving oneself through training. Of course, I never felt that the series gave us many details of what exactly this hidden/latent potential stuff was, so whatevs. :lol:

Re: Cels vs. Digital Animation

All those scenes were redone in the dvd/blu-ray release, so you're a little late on the old "episode #5 rant". This is not an episode 5 rant. That was just an especially bad example in a series that has thus far had subpar animation & fight choreography in most episodes, not just #5. ...

Re: 18 vs the Boys

I'm less concerned with the Semi-Perfect Cell to Perfect Cell gap. I mostly think that if one accepts the Daizenshuu literally there, which Dakrprince seemed to be doing, you basically have a very odd contradiction. I wasn't ignoring it, but I always take these sorts of databook stuff with a grain o...

Re: Cels vs. Digital Animation

That was an especially bad example. I only used it because there are plenty of GIFs of it. However, we just had a pretty bad episode a few weeks ago. Even ignoring that, the general animation has been poor and stiff. This is especially evident in fight scenes where characters exchange punches and ba...

Re: 18 vs the Boys

In the Raditz case, Nappa and (especially) Vegeta are quite a bit stronger than Raditz. Regardless, I'm open to the possibility that those 2 are near or at the level Vegeta & Goku were at that point in the Android Saga. My real issue is that if we think that they're near Gohan, Vegeta and Goku's...

Re: Was The Original SSJG Weaker Than The Legendary SSJ?

Yea, I think it had more to do with the transformation's time limit and him being up against a bunch of Ozaru. SSJ doesn't have an inbuilt time limit per se, so it's much easier (in some respects) to end up blowing up the planet. The OSSJG probably couldn't risk Ki attacks very much, especially cons...

[ Except, for starters, nothing about what she says suggests that she was fearful for the audience. The blast went safely into the ocean, yet she was still scared by how "outrageous" their power is. Besides, this is #18. She isn't like the others in where she needs to power up or anything...

Re: Cels vs. Digital Animation

Well made points Jacob. I'm a bit surprised that there has been this reaction to your position. I think that, as you said, the animator's job of bringing the script to life was quite integral to the reception of a series. It's not too hard to understand: There's a kind of entertainment unique to vis...

Re: A New Remaster coming to Latin America?

As they say, money speaks, and it's Toei's main focus. Well, any businesses focus really. Still sucks ass, as a genuine remaster could be fantastic (I'd still skip the filler arcs, personally).

Re: Are you satisfied with the story of Super so far?

I think the Battle of Gods movie was better than the BoG arc. However, I think that the Resurrection F arc was a little better than its movie incarnation. Overall, it has been too inconsistent for me to think it's much good. I don't simply mean the animation, I mean the whole gamut: -Padded out scen...

Re: Comparing their fighting styles

Sure it does. Goku is too soft. And because of that always holds back. It's a decision on his part. He "chooses" to hold back against his enemies. To have a more laid back fight and to play fair and all that(you know Goku) while Gohan and Vegeta fight to "dominate". Thus the fig...

Re: 18 vs the Boys

Nothing about her reaction indicated that she was fearful of how powerful the blast was because of the people nearby, but solely by how powerful the blast itself was. If she were stronger than they were, especially by the degree you're suggesting, why didn't she simply deflect the blast skyward or ...

Re: 18 vs the Boys

Before Trunks even fired off the blast, she knew who they were, so her shock over the power of the blast wasn't because she had no idea who was firing it. She outright said that she knew who Mighty Mask really was the moment that the boys transformed, which was prior to him firing off the blast, an...

Well, that's the thing, we don't undoubtedly know that they made it clear just how much stronger they were over him. If Gohan was under the false impression that the amount of power that #17 used during their first battle was his full strength (only learning later that it was under half), that leav...

Re: Opinions on Gotenks

Eh, I think Gotenks is fine. Sure he was goofy, but I think the problems with him are mostly because of Toriyama's lack of focus in the Buu arc, what with introducing so many concepts and ways of beating Buu. "Oh boy, SS3 can beat Buu!" "Fusion can beat Buu!" "Gohan's unlock...
