Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

I mean, the Dragon Balls do actually disappear into Goku's body. I don't see why Goku would pay the consequences for using the Dragon Balls. Didn't Goku only use the Dragon Balls one time to wish Bora back to life after he was murdered? I don't know why that would be so terrible to punish Goku. Thi...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

I guarantee that many fans do care about that shit. If others can look past it then all the more power to them, but even this fandom is rather diverse.

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

I think most people don't care about canon. That's because they don't fully appreciate the ramifications of that. There are some striking differences between canon material and fillers, which can confuse the hell out of people in more ways than one if an equal sign is put between them. For example:...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

As for a reason to reach the finish line on GT, if you enjoy it, why not finish. If it's out of duty, then don't. It's a waste of time. If your belief that being non-canon is the reason to not continue, then I think it's an odd reason. Something being non-canon is a good reason not to worry about s...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

Boy do I have a Tumblr page for you! https://www.tumblr.com/duhragonball This Tumblr hilariously tears GT a new one constantly and scoffs at the idea of it having good ideas but poor execution. Would be nice if you linked some more specific blog entries, I'm curious what they have to say. Also, I d...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

But I'm not a Super hater, so I don't glamorize GT as an effect of hate for Super--something that seems to be happening. GT was so detested for so long and now all of a sudden, I see some appreciation for GT. Well, I don't want to dwell on Dragon Ball's dead and buried side story except to say that...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

They had the most impact because they were what set the whole story in motion. Forget about lore, powerscaling, and worldbuilding and stuff like that. That's not what really matters. Think about theme and story and characters. You can't just abolish everything that was established about how the wor...

Re: Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

Some fans tend to like GT nowadays because whether or not its ideas were good it at least had ambition, something Z began to lack in the second half, and Super definitely lacks, Goku Black arc notwithstanding. I suppose that would depend on how you define ambition. Super widened the scope by introd...

Why exactly is everyone saying that GT has good ideas all the time?

I always hear everyone saying GT has good ideas, only perhaps poor execution. Why is that? - The black star DB arc was a horrible idea, forcing an early DB convention while completely disregarding the power and abilities that the protagonists wielded at that time, which could only have ended up a me...

Re: Should the anime come back?

Oh absolutely. If done right, the Moro arc can have outstanding potential. There might also be a lot of the cut stuff from Broly that was mentioned, and what Toriyama would have loved to have included. So yeah, only stuff to be excited about IMO. Especially since the anime is not technically an adap...

Have there been any canon depictions of tailed Super Saiyans?

I remember that some Super Saiyans were portrayed with golden tails (GT mostly), while other times they had regular brown tails. Is there anything available that suggests one portrayal is more accurate than the other?

How do you think the anime will handle Piccolo's new form colors?

In Super Hero despite Piccolo's new forms changing his body's colors, the spots on his body remained a pale tan in all of them, more or less. How do you think the anime will handle these, starting off from Piccolo's regular pink ones? Reminder: in the anime youthful Namekians have pink spots, and th...

Re: SSj Grade 4 power - old and new arguments

The biggest problem with you guys thinking that FPSSj is still only 50x and Grade 2 and 3 multipliers can still be applied to it is that SSj2 wouldn't be anything special with just a 2x multi if that was the case. Gohan's showing during the Cell Games was, on the other hand, very special to put it m...

Re: SSj Grade 4 power - old and new arguments

I think messing with the multipliers as we know them can only bring unnecessary headaches. I kind of agree that when they transform into Super Saiyan, as they can't control its power they are stuck with a x50 multiplier and that Super Saiyan Full Power allows you to control it and to power it down,...

Re: SSj Grade 4 power - old and new arguments

Huh... I'm pretty sure Vegeta and Trunks attained Super Saiyan Grade 2 and 3 without having Super Saiyan Full Power. Let us remember that the latter form was Goku's idea and everyone would only learn about it after Goku left the chamber. That means Super Saiyan also allows one to power up. In other...

SSj Grade 4 power - old and new arguments

This has been discussed quite a bit, but not to derail another thread, I decided to make this one here to present my opinions on the matter of Grade 4 being stronger than Grade 1. I've discovered some new hints for it being the case in the meantime, so here they are. If I were to guess, I think Supe...

Re: What's the deal with "FPSSJ3"? - one of the most enduring misconceptions in the community

If I were to guess, I think Super Saiyan Grade 2 multiplier is x75, making it a perfect "Super Saiyan 1.5". I also assume Super Saiyan Grade 3 to be even stronger than Super Saiyan 2, by having a multiplier above x100. I think that's a nice trade-off since, as we know, its speed/muscle ma...

Re: What's the deal with "FPSSJ3"? - one of the most enduring misconceptions in the community

I can understand ancillary material saying this guy is this strong, or this form is x times stronger than the previous one, but the daizenshuu being some kind of counselor that can understand the feelings of the characters, something not even hinted at in the manga, is a fucking stretch. They reall...

Re: Why was Gohan only slightly above Kuririn after Saichoro's release of dormant power?

Like everyone else has said - otherwise it wouldn't have made much sense for Gohan to be around Vegeta's level on Earth to over 200k against Freeza - there was no way to get any training in in the meantime. Though arguably Gohan could have received a few Zenkais to help him along the way too - seems...

If you've spent any amount of time on the internet during the last 20 or so years, you no doubt have come across a notion that many people seemed to love to proliferate - and some still do - that Goku was stronger against Kid Buu than he was when he fought Fat Buu, represented by describing him as &...
