Re: Making sense of The "28 Planets"

The way I've always thought about it is that there are only 28 planets left remaining that are true homeworlds to mortal races, similar to Earth or Salad for the Humans and Saiyans, respectively.

So while there might be a lot of different aliens, only true sapient beings that count for Heaven and ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

With regards to Goku Black getting stronger, I've always taken it that having Zamasu's soul in Goku's body essentially "reset" his potential, even if he started off with Zamasu's level of Ki control to begin with, due to basically becoming an entirely new being.

Goku's body may have reached its ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread


Though a big point from the original movie was the fact that Goku wasn't satisfied with having Super Saiyan God be something he didn't reach himself, hence him ultimately making the power his own despite losing the form.

Pretty sure it's stated Goku absorbed Super Saiyan God's power thanks to ...

I've heard rumours that Goku won't lose Super Saiyan God by the end of the fight when he loses, but I've only heard this secondhand.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

I think we need to distinguish between "being stronger than Beerus" against "being able to beat him in a full fight".

I also think there's a point to be made that all these opponents that have reached this level of strength aren't necessarily leaps and bounds stronger than one another.

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread

The big things that puts stopgaps into the "Fusions were always stronger than current god forms" are basic ideas: Goku and Vegeta are simply far stronger and have access to greater potential power now than they did before.

Unless you think all this power they've gained in their base forms and ...

Re: Goku's Power-level as a toddler


Goku could be strong physically without ki being a factor.
I feel like there must still exist differences in relative strengths between different species and races and so on, that doesn't exclusively come down to ki.
A human with equal ki amount to a rhinoceros is not going to be as strong, I ...

Re: Goku's Power-level as a toddler

It could be a case where scouter-defined power levels aren't as relevant at such low levels compared to one's biology.

So as a Saiyan, Goku would've been far stronger through his natural physiology even if his Ki wasn't as high yet.

Re: Vegeta calling Goku the number 1


It's not about raw power. Gaku was number one at that moment because he had the right mindset. This, in turn, led to his great strength.

Also, I don't think this means Vegeta would never try to match Goku again. Quite the opposite. Goku may have been number one at that moment, but by continuing ...

Re: All of Freeza's reasons for blowing up Planet Vegeta

I've always taken it as a bit of a mix of all of the above, with Freeza himself ultimately making the call from his own experiences and judgment.

You could view it as Freeza hearing about the Super Saiyan legend and not putting much stock into it at first, but then sees that the Saiyans under his ...

Re: Why doesn't Beerus know who Boo is?

I've always taken it as an issue he's never concerned himself with since it happened in the past, and enough Kaioshin survived that he wouldn't have to worry.

But Goku actively threatening Shin in the present? That's a different matter.

Re: Blowing up planets

Not that many characters have blown up a planet on-screen.

But many have been able to threaten it, with no indication they were exaggerating or overestimating themselves.

Vegeta all the way back in the Saiyan Arc was going to blow up Earth; Vegeta, Goku, AND Cell had all been threatening to ...

Re: Can Bulma make better Androids than Dr. Gero?

As others have said and will say, it's mainly a matter of skillsets and experience.

Bulma simply isn't as experienced in hyper advanced robotics the way Dr. Gero and Dr. Hedo were.

Fun return to their adult forms!

I do wonder exactly how much stronger they'd be considered now from when they were turned into kids. Seems like a decent boost, but also not hugely above what they were at during most of the series.

Also interesting to note how the Third Eye has made Gomah into a ...

Whole lotta hype with this one!

Kuu and Duu continue to be the best new dynamic duo of Daima! Duu and Goku sharing long spiky hair and incredible power is both badass AND hilarious, and Tamagami #1 really held out compared to everyone else aside from those 2.

Pretty fun overall.

Goku definitely seemed to be better at handling Majin Duu's whole shenanigans than Tamagami #1 was, probably due to his more free-spirited fighting style and experience dealing with Majin Buu.

And it seems Dr. Arinsu has pretty lofty goals to turn the Demon Realm into a force ...
