Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
I can't believe this salad of concepts you've prepared for dinner... mixing bold statements with typical in-character speech + a handful of headcanon for spice... I'm literally looking at the camera Jim Halpert-style right now. I truly hope, for your own understanding of how fiction works, you are j...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
We've reached the point where we need to explicitly explain to people that being the MC and ending up as the strongest in no way means there cannot be somebody else with far greater potential, even though the show goes out of its way to say "you've trained 40 years, I've trained 4 months, and ...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
That's an odd take, it took Goku decades to reach SSB, Freeza only needed 4 months. Goku even with like a 30 year advantage over Freeza is still behind. If Freeza's 10 year workout started at the same time Goku’s did, he would've been Black Freeza by the time Raditz arrived, and 20 years later who k...

1. Base Gogeta vs Ikari Broly 2. End of Saiyan arc Gohan vs Saiyan arc Piccolo 3. ToP Piccolo vs Super Janemba 4. LB Jiren vs Cell Max (Jiren is aware of his head weakness) 1) SSB Goku had Broly already under control, Gogeta seems to be as capable as Goku or Vegeta at their mightiest. He has it cov...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
What do you guys make of Broly vs Goten and Trunks? Everything happened off-screen but that one panel has SS Broly not that confortable against the base teenagers. Their teamwork can't be that good, SS Gohan was not having that much trouble against the SS heroes, so does that mean SS Broly's power d...

Re: The end of "Akira Toriyama canon"
Julie has a point, once you get the necessity genie out of the bottle everything is fair game. I, for one, wonder if there was a need for Goku's heart to fail him, for time travel, for Yamcha to be turned into a cheater just because, for Bulma to crap all over her friends by dating their killer... I...

Re: How strong do you think Broly was as a kid?
There's no way to tell if he grew steadily, if he grew this strong at the beginning of his life, or mostly at the end or on Earth. He is roughly Vegeta's age, and assuming he was introduced with a power that ranges from Raditz to KK Goku, this is how strong I think he'd be in each arc in his base, w...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
A gag moment where Beerus sneezes is supposed to corroborrate Goku's claim? :lol: From a storytelling standpoint, Goku guessing that Broly might be stronger than Beerus is the given motivation for Goku visiting Broly on Planet Vampa and giving him food supplies so that he doesn't die of hunger/thir...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Story-telling doesn't work like that. I won't address this because Mr. Baggins did it better than I ever would. Toriyama didn't write that Broly is stronger than Beerus. He wrote that Goku thinks that Broly is stronger than Beerus. There is a massive difference. Again, by no means does a character'...

Re: Dragon Ball Super Strength Discussion Thread
Should be taken into account that Goku and Beerus don't exist, it was Toriyama who said those words about Broly, through Goku, and Toriyama knew how strong he wanted Beerus to be. Just like he was the one saying, not Vegeta(because he also doesn't exist), that hybrids are stronger than saiyans... so...

Re: Dragon Ball influences in Western products
The similarity between the aforementioned Simpsons episode and the scene in Dragon Ball Z ends at the bullet being thrown back. I highly doubt the writers and storyboard artist at The Simpsons got it from DBZ. The scenes and execution are completely different. https://youtu.be/YWDUEVL0PMI?si=8hRDTw...

Re: How strong do you think Broly was as a kid?
Nice thread. We know Broly by the time he meets the gang will cap at post-Buu arc SS(one can go nuts trying to see how strong that actually is), and also that he'll stagnate for years before that. I don't think Broly needs to be in the millions by the time he is 3, if Vegeta was already above the Ki...

1. Goku (Beginning of DB) vs Beelzebub (Sand Land) 2. How would Beelzebub fare in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai? 3. Let's say Zarbon was around to do Tagoma's training instead, who is the strongest character he'd be able to defeat in his monster form? 4. Moro arc 17 fuses with Hell Fighter 17 to becom...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" Official Discussion Thread
For an open world like Kakarot, original Dragonball is the way to go, I think. DBS is mostly fights, like the movies, and even GT. The 23rd TB DLC got me hooked like never before, exploring the world hits differently, IDK. Running around training and getting ready for the 21st TB, doing Roshi's erra...

Re: Akira Toriyama Passes Away.
If Akira had ever visited South America he would've been treated like the fucking Beatles... knowing his hermit personality, probably SA would've been his least desired destination. People would be crying outside of the restaurant where he was dining at, even the waiters would be all over him. Marad...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement & Pre-Release Discussion Thread
I wonder why chose Kakunsa of all people, I guess to show us that even the least known characters are gonna be there.
Broly blowing up everything, damn... when is this coming out??? I'm like Super Buu with the hourglass.

Also, there are some panels where Goku looks way off, like when Goku explains why he stopped fighting Gohan... those are the things Toriyama used to correct, fuck me
