Re: Question About the Alternate Timelines

1 - Why would original Trunks take four years to make the second trip instead of eight months? This is a mistake on my part, my interpretation of the events was one successful trip where he saves Goku and gets the emergency shutoff blueprints(784), destroys the androids sometime in 785, and death b...

Re: Question About the Alternate Timelines

Trunks second trip happens in AGE 785. I don't know where this idea that Cell kills Trunks before his second trip comes from. What am I missing? Our Future Trunks' second trip occurs in 785, and O!Future Trunks is killed right before he can make his second trip in 788. While the reason for both the...

Re: Question About the Alternate Timelines

The basic and somewhat incorrect version is this: Cells timeline is the Original timeline(You call this Timeline 3 but I'll refer to it as O!): O!Future Trunks goes into the past saves Unknown timeline U!Goku (explained later) and returns To his future. He defeats O!17 and O!18, but isn't aware of C...

Re: Do you want a Tournament of Power II?

I wouldn't mind a second ToP, but I'd like to see the team FFA system either changed or written so that most universes aren't explicitly gunning U7 down.

Re: Were the other universes too underpowered?

For the anime, yes. The fact that most fighters seemed to go after U7 in an endless onslaught only to be eliminated one after another with U7 eventually scoring 53/79 or 68% of the total ring outs (this isn't even counting times U7 members knock each other out or themselves) really signals that Jire...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 78 - Official Discussion Thread

It's possible that Bardock's strength is inline with his previous appearances, weaker than Gas, and yet beats him anyway. Some of the takeaway from the TOP was that raw power isn't everything, one could even argue it's also a lesson for us to learn in this arc. As far as the wish goes, it certainly ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I imagine Granola's mom likely instills the caring for ones children that Bardock has in the Broly movie (since it's a surprise to Gine that he suddenly cares), so it'll likely be less "Bardock has a heart and spares them" and more "Bardock grows some amount of a heart because of some...

Re: What Kind Of Transformations Could Non-Saiyan Characters Get?

It's been brought up a couple of times but when I saw UI I had assumed it would be an equalizer for the weaker characters to contribute more i the series. It was a form that anyone could theoretically achieve, (at the time I had assumed) it didn't provide a physical power up so one wouldn't have to ...

Re: explain the pseudo retcons in DB

It seems weird that Gine would tell Raditz that they sent his brother to Earth, but not the reason he was sent to Earth. Again though, it’s not technically a plot hole, but it is an unnecessary retcon. There's a lot of logical inconsistencies surrounding Gine telling Raditz where Goku is sent (if s...

Re: What Retcon Would You Undo *Or* Tweak?

The Bardock special was a Toei exclusive but the manga itself had Raditz state Goku was sent to conquer earth. So “Ackshually Bardock and Gine sent Goku to earth so he could be spared from Freeza” is the retcon. I'm not sure this really is a retcon since Raditz could know the truth and be simply ly...

Re: So why do the potaras and fusion dance give Goku/Vegeta different fusions?

One argument is that the two forms of fusion share the similarities of Galick Gun and Kamehameha where the differences in form create different results despite both being energy beams in the end. Another could be that the Fusion Dance is an imperfect version (not necessarily weaker, just imperfect) ...

Re: Best received Dragon Ball arc?

It has to be the Namek / Freeza arc. Freeza is the most iconic, and arguably popular, continuous villain in DB having returned multiple times in one way or another (mecha, revived RoF, fought in ToP revived afterword, Broly movie), and the decision to bring them back over any other previous villain ...

Re: How strong would Goten, Trunks and Gotenks be if they trained 1 year instead of 1 week?

Goku and Vegeta has never trained while they fuse, that is what makes Goten and Trunks different. Gotenks trained while Vegito and Gogeta never trained. That is true, but we've seen instances where single fights are enough to raise ones power noticeably. It's also somewhat interesting to think and ...

Re: How strong would Goten, Trunks and Gotenks be if they trained 1 year instead of 1 week?

Surely Gotenks power gain by training doesn’t just disappear and not go anywhere. It seems like they should make gains, but I don't think there's a case that suggests that actually happens. Vegeta and Goku never pickup each others moves or gain any noticeable/meaningful amount of power after any fu...

I hadn't seen Z for many years when DBS came out, and there was a bit of an adjustment for me. I'd honestly thought I had either outgrown the series, or that I was remembering Z through rose-tinted glasses for a while. I ended up stopping DBS around the end of the Copy-Vegeta arc because of that. I ...
